As your hands get stronger, you will learn to control those kinds of sounds.

Thanks for the tip - right now I'm workin on finding songs I like and want to learn and also keeping the rhythm when it's time to move into the chorus. Some of those open chord changes are just not workin for me lol definitely no bar chords goin on yet!

I'm totally happy with my old Martin D-18 that I bought new which fairly affordable back in the day but I'm also very happy with my cheap DX1R Martin. But I like old funky guitars too. My dirt cheap First Act Paul Westerberg model is one of my favorites- same with my Squire Strat. I like 'em all. :-D

Those Martins look big lol - short arms here. Is your Paul Westerberg plaid?!

Not sure if you read all the comments - but I did get my Yamaha re-strung this past weekend - talked to Matt my guy @ guitar center lol and I asked for something to help me practice and I told him about the suggestions I got here and he went with Elixer Polywebs. I don't dislike them but I hear some buzzing I hadn't before lol but that could be the user! Lol but my point is I was checkin out the Martins @ the store and the Taylors and the Fenders lol too much fun. Prices definitely range.

Yes, the pick guard is plaid! The first time I saw one years ago was in the dry, flat town of Fallon, Nevada. That's interesting in of itself because (to put it very nicely) I'm neither a fan of Fallon nor Walmart, but we were travelling and needed a few things that could only be found there. So anyway, we're walking through the store and lo and behold, there's this Westerberg model First Act for sale brand new for a little over $100. I didn't have the money or room for it at the time and when these guitars quickly sold out, the prices on places like Ebay started running up into $300 to $400 or more. So when I say one on Ebay for about half that much I grabbed it. What really surprised me is that it's a fun little guitar. And plaid!! :-D

Yeah wow a little over $100! First Act's est annual revenue a few years ago was 68 million $-)
