Greetings,
First post in this forum. I am a piano player/synth guy, but am going to buy my first guitar at Christmas. I have no illusions of becoming a great player, but I would like to learn a bit about the guitar, learn simple chords, and do a bit of recording. I'd like to buy an electro/acoustic, as I would like to connect it to my interface for recording purposes. I have no desire to mic a guitar, etc.
I've done quite a bit of research (with the understanding I know nothing about guitars) as well as talked to a few folks, and I've pretty much decided on a Taylor Big Baby BBTe. They are around $500, which is about my budget.
Does this sound like a reasonable guitar for that price? There are seemingly 6 billion "learn the guitar" books and guides - do any of you have any suggestions on a good place to start?
I have a bit of musical training, so I understand chords and structures and the like. I just know (literally) nothing about the guitar.
Thank you.
