Hi

One point about this - I am not sure it was specified whether it is a live recording or sessions. In the live situation, it is common practice to have the guitar amplified in some way and obviously the micing for this is rather different to what might be desirable for recording. The same mono v stereo issue applies. I've known people to adopt the single point source approach such as an AER high quality guitar amp. Alternatively, I've seen a pair of D&B E8s or similar each side of the stage. The AER approach gives the player a bit of monitor but if you were recording, it can be a bit of a disaster having a monitor so close. I've got a feeling this is sessions in this instance but its worth bringing it up on people's radar as it is a popular piece that many of us encounter and about three people can play properly!! Look at the score and you'll find most guitarists make certain bits up entirely!!!
