Guitar players only

any fellow guitarist here? Would love to meet you!

 

I am thinking about getting my 8 year old into the guitar. I have no musical background. He has asked about it and seems interested. Any advise?

 

Long-time piano/keyboard guy. Working on learning fingerpicking on a Classical guitar.

 

I used to play a lot, but haven't had blue fingers for quite some time.

 

I just bought my 5 year old a squier mini strat and a Roland mini cube. The 3/4 scale guitar is perfect for someone with smaller hands just starting out. Usually it’s proper to learn on an acoustic guitar first tho. I took lessons for
About 2 years it really gave me the basics to write the music I hear in my head. The younger you start then the better.

This is my sons mini strat I honestly play this more than mine lol

 

Does air guitar count?

I've played for a little over 20 years. Solo and in a few bands, not as much recently though with 3 little kids taking up most of my time. The older ones (3 1/2 and 2 years, both girls) like the Misfits and ZZ Top, so there's hope for them.

 

I took a break as well when my son was born. But yes you gotta teach them the classics.

 

Here’s my lasteat purchase I just received from Sweetwater this morning PRS mark Holcomb signature

 

I'm 55 and picked up guitar about 6 years ago. Wish I had started when I was young but it's still fun. Youtube is great for "free" lessons. Search for Justin guitar, he is helpful.

 

Agreed there is a lot of good lessons on YouTube.

 

What’s everyone’s set up? Amp,guitar,pedals etc

 

I can play the ukulele. Does that count?

 

Always wanted to learn....and play like....

 

Are you Geddy Lee?

I just picked up a 91 strat and Egnater tweaker 15 last night to

 

Me too, here's mine!

 

I've been playing music all my life. Toured for a while, opened up for some cool acts.
Now I have a career and music is a hobby.
I play in a band and we do weekend gigs at local joints and private parties. We are a trio and have great harmonies. We are a cover band and cover everything from the Eagles to Elton John, Journey, Van Halen, Poison, Johnny Cash, George Jones and on and on....

I play PRS and Taylor guitars. My amp is a Bad Cat and my pedalboard is always evolving, although I have it pretty much where I want it. Couple other additions since the pic was taken.

Here is my gear!

PRS Artist 22 with one piece Burl top.
