I think it sounds pretty good, better than I've ever achieved with this technique, tho I think mostly your playing is very nice. There's something slightly unbalanced sounding to it, which is what I've usually found, but I can't put my finger on it. Like a lot of these alternative micing techniques, something in my head says "what I'm hearing doesn't quite add up", which makes sense, because I can't have my ears in those locations in real life. It also seems like it picks up a bit more room sound, making room acoustics more important as others are pointing out.

Interesting ,,,I have seen a few engineers position one mic over the right shoulder and one at the 12-14 th fret for solo acoustic guitarists, but not both mics that might be fun to try

I brought it down for my vocals when I got my ADK 251 which is pretty crisp in the high end.

I do need to adjust my room treatment a little to optimise trebles and tidy up low mids, which I am going to work on.

Updated version
As Barry requested, here is a version in a more traditional spaced pair array by way of comparison.
Full disclosure - new strings on the guitar and capo 5 not 3. Some shifting of acoustic treatment to try to mitigate the lack of clarity in the low mids and not enough treble. No reverb on this track but some subtractive EQ - albeit less than previously.

This latest one so much better sounding - clarity, base and treble balance. Sounds like a real live guitar. However I'm listening on my cheap headphones at work. Will check out the recording later with my home playback setup.

Yes, not ideal I know - brighter strings (Aluminium bronze vs GHS round wound) and a higher key, but as you say it does seem to offer more clarity and balance. Thanks for your input so far.

Keep in mind that I'm listening with my head stuck between a pair of studio monitors in a treated room. "Real" listeners won't be doing that, I doubt if I'd have any thought besides "nice playing", if I was listening over my home stereo or car.

Of course, but nonetheless for me it’s about critical listening and learning to do that better, so I appreciate the feedback Doug.

This new recording is more clear, but the trebles seem rather harsh to me. Probably just the new strings, often a challenge. I'm not hearing the low end issues some people are reporting on your other recordings. Yes, the original recording was darker, but I like a warm sound, and I'd take a warm, smooth sounding recording over one that's not. This is a case where you could probably tame the high end a bit, tho, and with some reverb, it could be pretty nice.
