Congrats on your Taylor. I have two Taylors and two Martins and I love all of them. I have a friend who is strictly a Martin guy and that's fine. But you have to seriously admit Taylor makes
guitars equal to Martin. It's all about what you like, your paying for it buy what you like.

Easybeat, I've had two different kinds. I had a Dean Markley which worked OK not the best sounding. I didn't like the cord hanging down from the sound hole. I also had the Fishman Rare Earth which was much better. I had an endpin jack installed and the wiring from that pickup going to the endpin jack. That worked out great. New on the market are whats called disc pickups which sit on the outside body of the guitar. It attaches with a soft putty which won't harm the finish of the instrument. You can position them anywhere you want, the spot you think sounds best. The cord can be out of the way, and some have a hanger that connects cord  to the strap peg on the guitar. There are a few different models to choose from. Some even look like bottle caps and  you have a choice of which companys cap logo you'd like. I have a McIntrye disc pickup on my mandolin and I totally love it.It sounds great on my mandolin and the cord and jack are located out of the way. I have a simalar Baccus Berry on my other mandolin. I like them both. I am going to check out the disc pickups if I purchase another guitar without a pickup system.Check them out.

Amy, As a Martin and Taylor guy I have 2 of each. Love all of them.I got each one for it's tonal qualities. I have had a few less hypped brands that sounded as good as any of these. A copule of them I wish I'd kept. You go with what sounds good or feels good to you and what you can afford. You can have fun with any brand of guitar that's really what it's all about. But you should grab that dream guitar when it's right for you.
One other thing to help make this guitar stay perfect. Remember to humidify your guitars. I have done this for years and it' keeps the whole guitar from drying out. Drying out causes finish and top cracks ,make your top sink in and make your overall tone suffer. A simple soundhole humidifier is all you need. Any music store will have them. It's a cheap insurance policy for a nice instrument.

As a rule of thumb most songs after 1929 are undercopyright laws. The copyright office which you can access online has a list of most of the songs you can use royalty free.  Most of the royalty free stuff is going to be folk music.

BGD, very cool version. I like when a person takes a song and makes it their own.
