Great placement of the instrument to make sure the strings are caught in the light. Do you play, or is it merely an ornamental instrument?

I've been learning piano for about .... a little over a year and a bit (with vast months of no-practice) and picked up a few guitars in the efforts to transpose the musical theory of the piano to the guitar, but...

I just find Piano (I've got a digital one) far easier to play and improvise on. Every time I pick up the guitar I just end up playing scales and basic appregiated progressions.
