Spirit asked for months before Christmas to get a guitar. We weren't sure why he wanted one so bad. Did he see someone with it? Does he just want to goof off with it or is he serious about learning how to play, yah-ta-yah-ta-yah. So we bought a fairly inexpensive,ok ok ok Cheap, we bought a cheap one, for us to see how serious he was about the guitar. Well, he immediately wanted to take lessons, he also asked if his piano book would work for the guitar.
So our wheels started turning and we remembered some friends of ours son is 15 and is an amazing musician, plays like 5 or 6 instruments, guitar being one of them! Woo Hoo!! So we called them up and talked to mom and dad about where we should take Spirit. Their 15 year old son agreed to give Spirit lessons, once a week for 45 minutes and 5 per lesson. Spirit is eating this up. Our intention wasn't neccessarily to burden their family, but they are pleased to do it! This family has a 15 year old boy and a 9 year old girl, so he is used to dealing with younger kids. He has been teaching his sister to play guitar too.
He has had 2 lessons now and is really doing pretty well with it. He practices faithfully --for practicing piano we have to force it, but guitar is not a fight at all. It makes me so happy to watch him glow after practice! Last week he had the whole family sit on the couch after dinner to hear the 2 chords he learned.....over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!! It was cute and fun though!

That sounds so great, it is that it is not a problem to get him to practice. I am sure it is a lot of fun for him,and who knows maybe he will become a great guitar player som day.
That sounds so neat! My husband would love to learn to play the guitar! I have been thinking about getting him one as a surprise but then I would have to listen to the same two chords over and over and over and over....
That is so cute! I hope my son becomes interested in music when he is older too. That is great you guys encourage him and invested in something he likes.
