Josh, I do hope you're gonna continue making these videos. They are very helpful to us all. I'm a Church guitarist at a small church who is getting into fingerstyle and I find your videos(and your music and playing) very inspirational, educational and helpful. Please continue making them, brother. May God continue to bless you and yours!!!😊📀💿🎉
Hi Josh. Best tutorial I have seen so far in terms of how to get the best finger style recordings of acoustic guitar. I have a home studio and I play a lot of James Taylor songs so this tutorial has been very helpful and has given me some great ideas.Kind regards. Alan
Thanks Alan! I'm so glad that you liked it. I've spent a lot of time recording fingerstyle and I want to share some of the little tricks I've learned. There are so many little tricks to it and it's hard to share it all in a video. Happy recording!

I'm pretty much at the cheaper recording level right now. Basically a Zoom h5 recorder pointed at my guitar. Where would you recommend I point the recorder toward the guitar? Some say 12th fret. Have you found a better recorder placement?
Hi Rick, The Zoom h5 has mics similar to the DR-05 I use in the video. I would point that at the sound hole because with the angled mics, it will work well like that.
Should the room be acoustic treated or I can just record a good quality fingerstyle sound in a normal bedroom? do you cover a rug on your floor or is that hardwood or sth else? please answer this question because I have recording equipments but whenever I record in a bedroom I get a dead muddy sound with lot of resonant frequency!
Hi, I think you can totally get a great recording in a bedroom with minimal (or no) treatment. The room I record in has hardwood floors and sheetrock walls. There are some shelves and stuff that probably diffuse the sound a bit. It's more important to have a quiet space than a treated space. I don't think it's ideal to add carpet to muffle the sound but you could try that. If you want more of the sound of your room you can move the mics further away. You can move the mics closer to pick up less background sounds and have less natural reverb. -You can then add reverb/delay with effects if you prefer that sound. Experiment with mic spacing and effects. About the resonant frequency, you might try changing your position in the room or the direction the mics face. I hope that helps!
Have you heard of the watch style metronome? It vibrates on your wrist, no sound. Kinda pricey. Made by Soundbrener. Was wondering if your familiar with it. I certainly need a metronome.
I just saw this. I am not familiar with those. I use a cheap one but I don't remember the brand. I used to use it a lot but I haven't needed it since I worked really hard on rhythm site reading. I actually used a metronome for years and I didn't seem to improve in my rhythm. I did rhythm site reading exercises for 6 months and my rhythm got dramatically better. It had been my biggest problem as a player.

I hope this video is helpful to you! If you record the guitar using these techniques, feel free to share a link to your recording in the comments.
