Nice in your use that the Beta56 doesn't take up much of the foreground in your video vs what most other microphone choices would.

There is surprisingly little guitar in the vocal mic like that, though it is a part of the sound. I'd say the guitar is maybe 1/4 of volume of the guitar in that mic. It's separate enough to be able to get a nice mix, but not enough to edit or tune the vocals.
Yes, I really like how compact and uncluttered the Beta56 is in the shot. As compared to the SM7B that I often use: so much of the design of an SM7B relates to close miking: the extended cage with extra space in front; the extra large foam windscreen. These things matter when your mouth is close to the mic, but not at this distance. If you're going to distance mic, the Beta56 works about as well with a much smaller mic in the shot, and with the same hidden cable run.
