Kid Guitars

As a father of five children it can be a struggle at times to make ends meet but we manage ok and more importantly we love each other to death.   That’s not to say that we don’t really try each other’s nerves at times but I guess what family who spend a lot of time together doesn’t?  Our middle energetic son who also struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder has been FASCINATED with the electric guitar for awhile now.  My wife and I finally broke down this Christmas and bought him a beginner electric guitar!  We were concerned however that he already HATES doing his homework and will purchasing him a kids guitar prove to be yet another distraction for him?  I must say that our search online confirmed what we had heard and that is that childrens electric guitars are more affordable than you might think.

I don’t think I have ever seen someone happier than my son on Christmas morning.  He jammed for all of us during Christmas vacation, (ok I will say that his siblings and even my wife weren’t always as enthusiastic and he and I were but for the most part they were good sports!)   Now that he is back in school we finally realized that his guitar playing is VERY much contingent upon completion of homework.  The first week he very much protested but now he realizes that the longer he protests the shorter time he has to play his beloved guitar, what leverage!  We plan on getting him some guitar lessons soon which makes him very happy.
