Kids Guitar Information

My son Andy was meant to play the drums and as parents we are very happy about this, (as long as he keeps the volume to an acceptable level). We want him to learn some good skills and so we are going to look into some good and proper instruction for Andy. Our friends know of a really good instructor who could teach Andy beginner drum lessons. I know Andy will be thrilled but we won’t continue the lessons if he doesn’t practice what is being taught.
We have been pleased with the childrens drum set that we bought for Andy several years ago. I just want him to focus and learn how to play the drums using proper technique. Now if we can get Andy to do his homework with the same amount of enthusiasm

While it’s true that some guitar players learn to play the instrument “by ear,” many argue that there’s no substitute for classical training. And that means regular guitar lessons. In my experience, the value of lessons will be determined by a child’s personality and work ethic. If, for example, he or she is constantly striving to get better by learning to read music and practicing without being told, lessons might not be necessary.
Other kids benefit from a firmly ingrained routine; they might lack the self-discipline of their peers, but they still have the talent. In cases like this, it’s best to take lessons. Childrens electric guitars can be mastered in any number of ways, so it’s important to remember that some of the best players in history did just fine without lessons. In fact, guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and other Sixties icons developed their idiosyncratic styles without classical training.
