Recording Electric Guitar With Ross Hogarth

Recording electric guitar can be so easy and yet so hard at the same time. Sometimes sticking a single mic in front of the speaker cabinet can yield excellent results, while other times it takes a lot of time and experimentation to get it to properly fit into the track.

Here's an excellent video featuring Grammy-winning engineer Ross Hogarth and top LA session guitarist Tim Pierce showing how to use two microphones (an SM57 and Royer R-121) to get a bigger sound from a typical guitar amp setup. This combo has become the standard in guitar studio recording all over the world.
