V8 Thanks for the advice, I will check out your suggestions. Alternatively I can also look at an affordable electric guitar then I have one of each... lol....but before I get too ahead of myself, still trying to learn, got the basic chords and still struggling with the F, so I guess I should be focusing on that first.
What I am doing is playing to the original songs, those that I can play of course and obviously would like to hear my own guitar a little more than the song, but also not have the song disappear that no one knows what I am playing (strumming not fingerpicking yet.....that is another challenge in my near future)
But thanks again for responding, it at least gives some direction of what to look at.
