Kid Guitars
Posts Tagged ‘beginner electric guitar’
My kids have a good life and even though money is tight we make the most of it. My daughter just completed her first year in college and I do what I can to help her out financially. She wants to go to graduate school to become a psychologist and I know she will be very good at this! My youngest son brightens up the whole house with his energy and his smile and is most content playing with his army figures in the sandbox outside! I should be so lucky! My middle son, Steve has struggled to find himself at times, I guess you could call it the “middle child syndrome”. He likes to hang out with his friends and play guitar. He has borrowed his friend’s guitars and did buy himself a used amateur guitar with his own paper route money that lasted maybe two years at best.
As Steve approaches his fifteenth birthday I have decided to bite the bullet and get him a beginner electric guitar. I think it is a good investment since he loves it so much and obviously will get a lot of use out of it. Even as I search for cheap electric guitars online I am surprised at the good quality and affordable guitars I am seeing! I have bookmarked a couple of sites for my son to look at. It’s really good to see Steve find a niche for himself.
My son just LOVES to “jam” on his new guitar and even though it gets on my nerves at times, I have to admit that he is really pretty good! We are glad that we have found something that interests him because it hasn’t always been easy to find something that he will stick with. He does “ok” in school and at this point we just want him to get a diploma, learn a trade and establish some type of career. I know he REALLY wants to be a “rocker” but we are insisting that he have a “back up” plan.
We decided that we would get our son an amateur guitar for Christmas this past year after years of pleading from him. He insisted that he be a part of the guitar search since his “dopey” parents certainly wouldn’t recognize cool guitars if they fell right into their laps! I think we deserve a little more credit than that. Anyway long story short, he really enjoys the beginner electric guitar that we bought for him. This purchase has had some unexpected benefits in that we can use his playing time as leverage to get him to do other less desirable activities, ( like ah.. taking out the trash!) I think as parents we need to do what we can to see what makes our kids tick. For some kids this is easier said than done but sometimes the reward is well worth the effort in the end!
My daughter has her mind all made up that she is going to learn to play the guitar. She says that the best thing we could do for her is get her a beginner electric guitar for her birthday! I am not sure whether I want to invest in this or not. My husband says that it would be a good investment for her as she will play guitar for many years to come. He said that he has begun searching for beginner electric guitars and really likes what he has seen so far!
I want to be supportive of my children’s hobbies and if this is really what she wants then she has my blessing. Her cousin, my sister’s son has had a lot of fun playing amateur guitar and it has been a really good thing for him. My nephew would love to give our daughter some good pointers I am sure. This will be a special birthday for our musically ambitious daughter!
Music has been a part of our family for many years and I can’t imagine it any other way. My husband plays cello in our church band. He also plays acoustic guitar. I have played piano for years and my daughter has played flute and piano throughout most of her life. Our thirteen year old son is no exception. He just LOVES the guitar! He plays both electric and acoustic guitar. As a child we bought him a kids electric guitar and he played it until the thing broke! He got a lot of mileage out of that guitar. Now he is convinced that he wants to pursue his love of the guitar more seriously! He is asked that we get him an amateur guitar for his fourteenth birthday!
There never seems to be enough money for the things that we want but we would very much like to get a beginner electric guitar for our son. With our son’s help we have time to research this! We only ask our son that he keep up with his studies at school and make sure that he lives a well rounded life. Music will always remain integral to the very heart and soul of our family and I wouldn’t have it any other way as long as we keep it in perspective with the rest of our lives!
My husband just lost his job due to massive layoffs at his company. My job also appears tenuous and this has our family quite nervous. There is some “under the table” work we could do but it’s nothing we can count on. Our kids , (for the most part) are understanding that we really have to cut costs but it’s difficult when you live in a world of such materialism. Our kids have some wealthy friends who seem to get anything they want when they want it. Our kids see this and can’t help but be envious. We do our best to teach them that what is most important in life cannot be bought but I don’t think they have the maturity and life experience to understand this.
Our darling daughter has a birthday coming up and says that more than anything she would like beginner electric guitar. My husband and I kept saying no but upon further investigation realize that cheap electric guitars are available online and appear to be very good quality. Our daughter will be thrilled beyond belief as she is under the impression that we can’t afford to buy her an amateur guitar
We recently bought our son an amateur guitar. We did a lot of research before we purchased this guitar and we have been very pleased with what we have gotten. It does pay to do your homework. There are really some great deals out there! It is also well worth the money when you find a gift for someone that they really value. Our son has been taking lessons online and seems to be learning rather quickly. I think if it were up to him he’d practice morning, noon and night.
I am so glad we decided to get our son a beginner guitar because it seems to have paid off in some very unexpected ways. He seems more focused and disciplined and generally in a better mood. I think it’s important to nurture your child’s passion and help him or her turn it into a positive experience. We haven’t been this lucky with every purchase for our children but it does feel good that the beginner electric guitar has been such a hit!
I love my kids to death but sometimes I think they honestly believe that money grows on trees. I have tried to instill in them that gift giving is relegated only to Christmas and birthdays. However they still try to get what they can out of me and they seem to think I have the word “Pushover” written all over me. Maybe I feel guilty because I am a single mom and I’m trying to make up for my husband’s absence.
My thirteen year old daughter has a birthday coming up in August. She has been pretty much on my case now to get her a beginner electric guitar. She of course wants it right now! Because money is very tight (as usually is) I have been searching for discount electric guitars. I plan to give her this amateur guitar for her birthday in August. I think it is important for my kids to learn the value of delayed gratification and now is the perfect opportunity for my daughter. I guess the fact that we all love each other is what matters most because we can never put a monetary value on that. If my kids can learn the value of loving each other then I have done my job as a parent!
My kid has been bugging me and I mean BEGGING me to get him a beginner electric guitar! As a single parent with four children things are tight. I do what I can for my kids but they don’t get a lot of extras like some of their friends. Gifts are primarily relegated to birthdays and Christmas. Fortunately for my son he may not have to wait too long because he does have a birthday in July. I cannot even think of getting him a kids guitar sooner than July!
The other day at work I did a search for cheap kids guitars and was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. I think my son will be jamming away come July and that will make both of us quite happy as he will no longer be on my case about a guitar! There are many gifts we can give to our children and not all of them have monetary value. I only hope that my kids see that quality time spent together means more than anything. If they don’t see this now I believe that in time they will. It’s a never ending learning cycle for both parent and child!
When our son was little we got his a toy guitar that he just played to death. We thought it was a passing phase and were delighted to see him play so much! His interest in guitar has not waned and not he is asking his Mom and Dad to get him a beginner electric guitar so he can learn to play correctly. Our son as it turns out, sees a future in guitar and may even become a full time musician! I will support him but I will be most supportive of a well rounded son, one who doesn’t neglect his studies and who is involved in other outside activities!
Our son does pretty well in school and has a nice group of friends. He is a good kid and my husband and I are in support of his interests. With a birthday coming up in June we will begin to look together for beginner electric guitars. We will also look for an instructor and some good beginner DVD’s and books for our son. Our son says that he knows of some relatively inexpensive but high quality amateur guitars for us to check out. I’m glad that this is a project we can work on together!
I don’t know what I’d do without Aunt Lucy. She is more than an aunt and is actually more like a second grandmother! When it comes to birthdays, she always comes through. She has the financial resources and that’s a good thing but I also don’t want her to spoil the kids too much. One year she bought my daughter a new laptop she wanted that I told her she had to wait to get for her birthday. While my daughter was very happy about this it wasn’t an absolute necessity.
My teenage son has a birthday on May 19th and more than anything wants a beginner electric guitar. I don’t have the money for this right now as much as I love music and am a musician myself, (I’ve played piano and been a church organist for years) Aunt Lucy is excited and says that she is more than happy to search for some crazy guitars! While Aunt Lucy is quite ambitious, she is not savvy with the internet so I will surf the net to look for amateur guitars. I guess my kids are quite blessed to have so many caring adults in their lives!
