I think so too.

And I think that's why some players don't get a good sound out of K&K's.

IMO, I think it may take a lighter touch than some guys have.

Those guys without that touch might even sound better playing through a mic.

This guy today sure did.

It was pointed out in the other thread that Richie Havens prefered playing guitar through a mic.

Richie was a super gifted musician.

And he was a heck of a strummer.
