Thanks for the responses guys. Currently I only have one good mic. More are on my wish list for the near future. I have been placing the mic about 5 or 6 inches from the guitar at about the 12th fret actually facing it about 35 degrees towards the headstock to try and reduce the sound from my picking hand. Does wonders for reducing that muddy sound you can get from micing towards the soundhole but still picks up the sound from the back of my fingernail strumming across the string and quite loudly. Maybe micing farther away would be a better idea but I have to do something about the room first. Hardwood floors, rectangular shaped room. Need to get a rug and maybe something for the corners of the room to reduce harshness. I'll attempt something this weekend and let you know how it turns out.
