I finally found an acoustic guitar I really like! I spent some time at the local Guitar Center trying a lot of different brands out. I went in expecting to come out with a Yamaha, Takamine, or Seagull, but none of those guitars spoke to me much. They sounded good, mind you, just nothing I had to have. I then tried a few Martins and Taylors around my price range ($1k). Tried the Taylor 110, 210, and a 314. The Taylor 210 was the first acoustic I picked up that seemed to almost play itself. Problem was, it was huge, so I didn't buy it immediately. Did some research and learned there were different sizes, and the 214ce was a very popular guitar. Tried it yesterday and loved it. Same feel as the 210 but the size works better. I probably could've swung a used 314, but I honestly didn't gel with it as much despite knowing I should, it being all-wood construction and such.
Happy to be starting a new leg of learning guitar. So far I've learned that acoustic guitar doesn't need muting as much as high-gain electric does, so it plays a little differently, and that my fretting hand is still a bit prissy with thicker acoustic strings.
If you have any recs for easy acoustic songs to play that you like, pass them along please! I'm using this as an excuse to acknowledge there are other genres out there besides metal.
