I have a question …
I have a question about guitar strings. I personally prefer older strings over new strings. Now could it be because I’m a beginner? I had NPS strings on my RR5FR but I have D’Addario XL .10’s on there now, and its having all sorts of problems. The Floyd isn’t sitting right now and as soon as I went to use it, it went out of tune 3 steps!!! Any tips you could give me? And if I don’t like the sound of crisp strings is that fine?

does it make any difference if the mic is at the left or right?

soory – accidentally deleted a question on the mics – yes, you can use the sm57 for vocals – in fact many use the 58 for vocals which is basically the same mic but with a ball end instead of the flat end. There are many other great vocal mics but the prices do start rising as you get into more sophisticated mics – the beta 58 is a good one at a decent price – best of luck – rock on! – DT

I have played some Hamers a long time ago and I thought they were pretty cool – I dont remember what models they were – and they probably have way more cool stuff out now. They have been making guitar a long time for sure. I have not tried any hamers in a good while so so its hard to comment on any new ones. Best of luck – rock oN!

can you use a line 6 15 watt amp?

Hi – I dont think there is a hard and fast rule for which speaker to mike – you want to find the sweet spot that sounds best to your ears – experiment and try different speakers and miking positions. Best of luck

Im in a studio an awful lot and and we swear by the SM57.. another absolutely fantastic microphone for Guitars is the Sennheister E606, well priced and sounds gorgeous on thick clean guitars

Hey Dave. Great …
Hey Dave. Great video. Very informative. I have a question: If I have a mic that’s a standard “ball at the end” shape, with a flat top, designed to only absorb sound in the top half of the ball (or front if turned 90 degrees), will taping the rounded edge of the mic so that only the flat tip is exposed reduce any outside noise? In other words, will blocking the ball and only leaving the flat top open yield a similar effect to the type of mic you’re using? Or would taping it up cause problems?
