[LAU] Recording accoustic guitar and string noise

[Michal Seta]

Hmm...  My classical guitar teacher and a couple of audio engineers I
had pleasure working with thought that placing mics near the neck was
providing a bit of brightness to the sound and balanced well the
body's tone.  In those days I spent entire days practicing to minimize
the fret/string noise.  Today I think that such noises add to the
charm of the music but i guess this is context and style dependent
(but I am also fond of music made exclusively of such "unwanted"
noises so I may not be the right reference in this context).
