This is so typical. When its Bad, people blame the player.

When its good, they give the credit to the microphone/ recording gear.

In this case, i think Doit is a little dissapointed that some guy on a
comedy show sounds better than he does.

While we're at it, he sounds
better than Doit, Me, and Ron put together, and there's no mic anywhere
near the guy.

If it really was the mic, well then, none of us would have to work
on getting the authentic flamenco sound, we could just buy old
RCA ribbon microphones.

Unfortunately, thats just not the case. The sound comes from the hands.
Doit will have to accept that someday.

Afriend of mine sold one some weeks ago on ebay. You had the chance to get it... So no excuses here please.

Maybe maybe... I think he faked the playing.

I think we all are thinking very typical about this theme, just in different directions. So let us respect each other this time without fighting. I also think that hes really great! And Im dissapointed coz my friend sold the stoneagemic and didnt gave it to me.

Don't mariachis also hold their guitars this way?

I mean when they actually carry a guitar in the case instead of a crapload of guns...

Sounds awesome to me. As far as this being a cure for sitting position...maybe. I would hate to see the wear and tear on his left rotator cuff though.
