Hi everyone I'm new to this board. I've been playing acoustic guitar for a little less than a year. I haven't taken any lessons but I took a class when I just started and it gave me the basics. I can play the major scale in any key and the minor pentatonic scale in any key. I am pretty good at open chords cause I practiced the basic open chord songs like House of the Rising Sun, Knocking on Heaven's Door.

Anyway now that you know approximately where I'm at I'd like to ask a few questions. First I get the basic idea behind modes and solo boxes but I don't really understand it and to be able to I think I need to practice some (obviously). Now considering there's a lot I was wondering which ones I should practice first.

The other question is what do I do now. I have been trying for a long time to find songs that are at my level to try playing. Now I'm a heavy metal and rock fan and I play acoustic guitar so that means I can't play any of my favourite songs but I'm fine with anything that sounds good. I heard plenty of good classical songs but I need names.

Also any other advice you might have is greatly appreciated.
