Kid Guitars

My son had been playing the trombone in his elementary school band for a year and also taking lessons.  He was doing ok but it seemed as though I almost had to “bribe” him to practice and his attempts at playing were “half hearted” at best.  By accident I discovered that what my son really wants to do is play the guitar, and in particular the acoustic guitar.  I took my kids to a friend’s house for the weekend.  My kids know her kids and for the most part they get along pretty well. My friend’s oldest son recently began playing acoustic guitar and loves to practice quite a bit.  My son was so fascinated that by the end of the weekend he already knew how to play several chords and was eager to learn to play songs!

I decided that what I really needed to do was to find a kids acoustic guitar since a full sized guitar would be too big for my son right now.  I was pleased at the availability of acoustic guitars for children.  I really had a good selection from which to choose.  I found a childrens acoustic guitar that seems to have worked out really well and it has been well worth the price I paid as a single parent.  Sometimes through “accidents” we learn the greatest things about ourselves!
