Picking a new Guitar

Caps14 · 11-07-2013, 04:01 PM

I'm getting an acoustic guitar. I'm an inexperienced player. I go to the stores with the goal of picking a guitar and eventually buying it. However, I see people mention on forums, and in stores, experimenting with the guitar (i.e. talking about woods/tone, people play a bunch of different riffs and styles on a guitar that catches their attention in the store).

What should I play when determining whether or not I like the sound? Is there a rule about what to play to determine if it's right for me? Honestly, I'm more concerned about the size of the guitar; I want it to be comfortable on my leg and with arm over the top of it.
