Mic Movement for Tracking

Speaking of which, I've now finally found the perfect recording chain for electric guitar.

Any amp of your choosing -> Sennheiser MD441 -> Phoenix DRS1 preamp -> disk.
The mic-preamp combo there is just absolutely amazing.
 
Mic placement is one of those "men from the boys" recording skills, one that doesn't get talked about that often.

Early in my audio career, I was fortunate to read a 1994 EQ magazine article by Steve Albini that really changed the way I looked at miking guitars. Even if you're not into his sound and aesthetic, there's a lot of thought provoking stuff in it.

And now, through the magic of the internet, you can read it too!
