my 10 year old son seth blew the crowd away at his 5th grade talent show lat night. he stood alone on the stage with his penco guitar (gibson SG copy) and my fender automatic 90w amp and played "sunshine of your love". EC, baker, and bruce would have been almost as proud as me.
just had to brag on him :)

tried to get pics... room was too dark.
wife and i tried to convince him to sing too... nothing doing... guess he's more of a robert fripp, or skunk baxter.
i've had the guitar hanging around the house for quite some time. he took an interest in it a few months ago so i fixed it, seated and filed some frets, adjusted the neck, bridge and intonation as best i could, and boy did he catch on quick... bar chords, riffs and everything. he's working on stairway and black dog right now.
he asked me the other day, "daddy, if you played white room, how would you play it?"
so i figured out the chord arrangement and he's working on that one too.
thing that surprises me most is the classic rock genre... i think he gets it from his big brothers' guitar hero game.

That is fantastic! Hope he stays with it for a long time (unlike my son, who's burning ambition just a few years ago was to be a kung-fu movie director :lol: ).

My grandson just started taking guitar lessons about five months ago (he's about the same age). I didn't know if it was just a fad or not, but I'm hearing that he's practicing constantly, so maybe it'll stick. I bought him a guitar and amp for Christmas.

He's going to spend a week with me at my vacation home in July. I'll let him play with some people that I jam with, and see how he likes doing that (that motivate him some more).

Hopefully, he'll get as good as your son. Any ideas for me for motivating him? (I don't want to be pushy with him)
