I'm 3 weeks in, playing an average of 2-3 hours a day and so far can't detect any decline in tone. Or maybe I'm the frog and the water is already boiling around me.

Are people playing with a light touch? Or are you digging in for volume?

I have barely any right hand discipline, I tend to play pretty hard on the electric. But a bit over 2 months ago I picked up an acoustic after over a decade and started to learn some bluegrass.

When I dig in too hard the guitar sounds stressed.

When I play above my comfortable speed I tend to tense up and pick closer to the bridge which starts sound harsh

I seem to get the best tone when I play relaxed, with a moderately light touch; the notes are full and round, the attack is present but has some bass to it, it’s not metallic sounding.
