Guitar tones are predominantly midrange, and many recording specialists believe the sounds are best captured with a dynamic microphone (such as a Shure SM57). Try this sound test to see if you agree: record a patch using both a dynamic mic and a small diaphragm condensor mic. See if you can hear a difference, and if you prefer one over the other.

When recording electric guitar off a tube amp, crank the amp up loud to get the real tube tone. To avoid distortion, use the ?10db pad on the mic.If you are using just one microphone to record electric guitar off an amp, try aiming the microphone at the side of the speaker cone. Another approach is to use four microphones placed all around the amp.

When recording acoustic guitar, placement of the microphone is critical. Try positioning a microphone about eight to fourteen inches away. Avoid pointing the mic at the sound hole, because if you do the resulting sound will capture the sounds from the guitar body and contain too much reverb. Try instead aiming for a spot about where the neck and body meet.One way to add richness to a recording of an acoustic guitar is to use two microphones. Aim one at the spot where the neck and body meet; aim the other at the bridge. The microphone aimed at the bridge will capture more of the midrange. Blending the two together in the mix will help you achieve the sound you are looking for.

For recording one of the large acoustic bass guitars now popular, try a large diaphragm condensor microphone. Keep the microphone within a foot of the instrument to avoid reflections from the floor. Place it about a half foot above the bridge; experiment with how much you aim it toward the sound hole, but don?t go overboard. Too much aim at the sound hole will add reverb, and you can always add more reverb in the mix.
