When I was young my parents saw that I had some musical ability and presented me with an ultimatum: join the choir or learn an instrument. I was an extremely shy and awkward child and my parents thought that that music would help ‘bring me out’. And because I was so timid, the idea of standing in front of a large audience flexing my pipes was terrifying—so I opted for the latter. I didn’t have a lot of difficulty choosing the instrument because I had always had a fantasy of being a ‘Rock God’ and dreamed of playing electric guitar!
Fortunately for me, I grew u in the heyday of classic rock and I idolized musicians such as Roger Daltrey, John Lennon, and Eric Clapton. My parents, (who couldn’t wrap their heads around my generation’s music) were thrilled because they understood how much this type of music meant to me! They graciously helped me look at electric guitars for children and eventually we agreed upon a childrens electric guitar that started me on my journey! Despite the fact that I never achieved rock and roll stardom, learning to play helped me achieve an even greater love of the guitar and gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of music in general and yes, it did help me come out of my shell!
So we’ve reached the end of 2010! How does time go SO fast? We had a pretty good Christmas this year and for the most part our kids still seem to be enjoying their gifts and we are always glad about that. As we prepare for New Year’s Eve, my young son promises to ‘rock out’ along with all the other Rockin New Year’s Eve festivities that will take place again this year! We bought our son a childrens electric guitar and he just LOVES it! We really did our homework while searching for childrens electric guitars.
As a parent I really believe that real success is measured through the love shared amongst members of the family. Money and career is important but nothing can beat the love between parent and child! Our older daughter loves figure skater and is rising through the ranks as a real contender. Sharing this accomplishment with her has been an incredible bonding experience for our whole family! My wish for this 2011 is that everyone can experience joy, sense of purpose and to be able to experience life as authentically as possible! Happy New Year!!
My wife told me that we must get our adorable little son a childrens electric guitar for Christmas! Her best friend just got her son one and my wife said that it was SO cute and we just HAD to get our son one! I must admit that I am really just a “big kid” myself and I really did have a ball searching for kids guitars online. Our older son has been playing acoustic guitar for awhile and has recently formed a trio with two of his friends and they are hoping to start performing in coffee houses this coming spring.
We have a lot of fun in our family and for that we are truly blessed. However someone has to be mindful of the finances because come January some major bills have to be paid. I must admit however that on Christmas morning our son will be thrilled beyond belief when he sees the cool guitar Santa brought him!
I have enjoyed being a father and to this day can’t help myself from giving the occasional lecture. Now that my son is a father, I am delighting even more as a grandfather who has the distinct privilege of spoiling his grandchildren. Birthdays and Christmas provide the perfect opportunity and/or excuse to “pull out all of the stops”. My super ambitious, fun loving and very capable grandson is SO excited for Christmas this year!! My grandson really wants a childrens electric guitar but my son is a little apprehensive. I have told my son that I absolutely want to get my grandson a kids electric guitar.
I have begun looking in music and toy stores for kids electric guitars. I have now finally convinced my son to also look online, (since the computer is still not really my thing). I think my son and his very lovely wife are in agreement that this could be a very fun idea. One day my son will understand the joy of being a grandparent. Being a grandfather is the highlight of my life!!
My husband told me that we have to get our adorable little son a childrens electric guitar for Christmas! One of my husband’s closest friends got his son a kids guitar last Christmas and my husband says it’s so cute and we just HAVE to get our son one! My husband is really just a “big kid” himself and he’s been having a ball searching for kids guitars online. My stepson has been playing acoustic guitar for awhile and just recently formed a trio with two of his friends and they are hoping to start performing locally.
We have a lot of fun in our family and for that we are truly blessed. However someone has to run the finances. We have a lot of people to shop for this Christmas and we have to stay on a budget. I must admit however that on Christmas day our son will be thrilled beyond belief when he sees the cool guitar his parents bought for him!
My wife told me that we must get our adorable little daughter a childrens electric guitar for Christmas! Her best friend just got her son one and my wife says it’s so cute and we just HAVE to get our daughter one this year! I have to admit that even though I wouldn’t have thought of it, the idea has really grown on me! My wife and I are big kids ourselves and we have already been having a ball looking at electric guitars for children online. Our nephew has been playing acoustic guitar for awhile and has recently formed a trio with two of his friends and they are hoping to start performing in coffee houses. I know our daughter looks up to him.
We have a lot of fun in our family and for that we are truly blessed. However someone has to run the finances. My wife and I will have to have a budget as we have a lot of people to buy for this Christmas. I must admit however that come Christmas, our daughter will be thrilled beyond belief when she sees the cool guitar Santa (i.e. her parents) have bought her!
When my husband gets excited about something he pulls all out all the stops and its no holds barred! He recently told me that after having a heart to heart talk with our young and curious son about what he wants most for Christmas, our son said an electric guitar is a must. After a thoughtful but most enthusiastic pause, my eager to please husband said that Santa would have a kids guitar on his sleigh without a doubt! My husband went to work immediately to find the best and fanciest kids electric guitar in town and online! The ever practical part of me said “Wait a minute buster!” And so I began my search for discount kids guitars! The results actually looked pretty promising.
We have a lot of planning and budgeting to do to get ready for Christmas this year and a childrens electric guitar may in fact fit the budget! I am all for supporting my children as long as we live within our means. My husband and I will probably continue to battle over finances but I am glad that in time we are usually able to work things out! Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
We just got through celebrating our daughter’s fifteenth birthday and as can happen, we spent more money then we should,(despite our best intentions it always seems to happen). Now with Christmas just around the corner, we really need to pull our finances together because we have quite a few gifts to buy! Our adorable little six year old has let us know that what he wants most for Christmas is a kids guitar like his very best friend Jonathan. My husband who wants to honor his children’s wishes hopes he can honor this one. I however am always the bargain hunter. I know that I can look online and find discount childrens guitars that are good quality and my kid will adore!
It seems that my son has a good idea of the type of guitar he wants so now it’s just a matter of trying to find what he is looking for at a decent price. It always makes me feel good to see what bargains I can find. I think I could make a living doing this for other people and just have a ball. So I think my youngster will be ‘rockin out’ on a very affordable childrens electric guitar on Christmas morning!
I was not aware that childrens electric guitars existed but my buddy told me that he just bought one for his youngest son and it was really pretty inexpensive. This is very good to know! I too have a young son who I really believe would enjoy learning to play electric guitar. On a whim I started looking for childrens guitars online and I am thrilled at how many cool guitars are available for a kid his age. I might even get one for myself and my girlfriend, (just kidding!)
My son seems to really like music but he is a little shy so I think this might be a hobby to bring him “out” a little. As a father it can be hard sometimes to find the line between encouraging and not pushing. We will try out the guitar and if he doesn’t like it so be it. I need to expose my child to all I can and hopefully something will stick
My five year old wants to be a rocker in the worst way! It all started several months ago after she spent time with her aunt and uncle while I was away for a week on a business trip. My daughter just idolizes her older cousin who is currently a bass guitarist in a local band. Her uncle, my brother says that my daughter followed him around and finally Jake relented allowing his young cousin to play a few notes on his “precious” guitar while he watched, (hoping and praying that she didn’t break anything!). That did it, my daughter was sold, she HAD to have a guitar. She says that all she wants for Christmas is a new electric guitar, “Ok no problem” I told her.
As a former musician myself I understand the allure playing an instrument can have at a young age. I have played piano for years and my brother played drums and was a back up singer for many years in a very popular band in our area. Music was always a big part of our lives. I think that it would be totally cute to get my daughter a childrens electric guitar for Christmas and I will begin searching kids electric guitars today. I think I can convince my husband that this would be a good plan. I think it’s great and I know I will have a very happy daughter on my hands Christmas morning!
