Working on mic placement, opinions?
I recorded this today (recording is straight out of the mix, no editing/eq on it). This is just a rough track, but trying to get better sound. The mic is a Blue Yeti on omnidirectional placed about 1.5' in front of me at the 12th fret and angled slightly towards the headstock. Anything I should try? Change? Love any input. I am a beginner at recording...

That is a fine sound for a single mike. Nothing to add to that. However record in stereo if you want a bigger, more solid, sound.

With the Yeti on unidirectional it is essentially stereo? Just the front and back of the microphone instead of the sides, if I am correct?

While it does pick up from both sides of the mic, it is summed into a mono signal.

As it is this seems pretty good, nice up-close sound. You might also try cardioid vs. omni to hear the difference in room/ambient noise.
To play around a bit, you could duplicate the track in your software, pan wide right and left and EQ them a bit differently (maybe more crystalline on one side and more resonant or bassy on the other). Some folks also might play around with micro-delay but I don't really know much about that without it moving into a chorus-like sound.

Try recording a second take over the first, duplicate as closely as possible. Pan left/right to taste. Sounds better in some applications than stereo recording. The slight differences between the tracks make it interesting. Gives a natural delay effect. Depending on what other tracks you're using for this song, you may not need 'stereo'. If you've got other parts and/or other instruments, the one mono track may be just what you need.
Your recorded track sounds very good.
