I’ve started playing guitar around 15 and I’m 17 now. I’ve never really got into soloing and I’ve always loved mellow acoustic and reggae feels. I want to play music professionally, but I’m not at the soloing stage of guitar. I sit down a lot of the time and write songs on my acoustic guitar. Usually, they are just rhythm guitar chords I play while I write songs. What do I do to improve and make it in the music industry?

I’ve been playing guitar for almost 2 years, an acoustic. I’ve been to the guitar store to sit and play on some electrics but I never really know what I’m looking for, they all seem to sound similar. How do you know which guitar you are picking is good?
How do you know what feels right, if you’ve never really “felt” it in the first place?

My guitar teacher told me it’s bad to hang them by the neck since they’re supposed to sit on the body.
He actually bought one that was hanged for a long time and it didn’t sound right, he took it to a guitar technician and he told him hanging them damaged the guitar.
Thanks in advance!
