Most people who pick up a guitar dream of being a lead axmen for a band that sells out arenas around the globe. While it isn’t bad to have lofty aspirations, the truth is that it is becoming more and more competitive to make it as a lead guitarist. That doesn’t mean that the dream of being a star in a rock band has to die.
While there is an abundance of superb lead guitarists, there is a lack of the less noted, but equally important, bassist. While the bassist rarely makes it to the spotlight, musicians and true music fans know that the bass line is often the pulse of a song. Taking the time to learn bass guitar not only will improve your prospects for a musical future, but it will also give you a better appreciation for the intricacies of music.
The wonderful sound of music has always filled our home. I play the organ for the church choir and my husband plays the bassoon at various functions in our community. My oldest daughter plays the cello in her school’s orchestra. Out youngest son has just informed us that he too wants to play an instrument and just knows that we will be thrilled about this. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would want to play electric guitar!!!! I was very unsure about this but my husband seems to think that it’s a great idea and it he wants to play so badly then he will receive proper instruction.
My husband has told me that he knows where to find some really good childrens electric guitars. He thinks he can get a really good deal on some cool guitars that our son will really love! I feel however that if he is going to get a kids electric guitar then he is going to learn proper technique (i.e. a good instructor and some learn to play guitar books and DVD’s) As long as we can live with a peaceful noise level in our home then I guess I’m game!
My daughter is happiest when she is playing guitar. I know this because hours go by and she simply forgets how long she has been playing. My husband and I have finally learned that letting her play guitar can be used as leverage for her to do homework and complete her chores. She now gets together and plays with some of her friends who are also interested in playing guitar.
We began looking for amateur guitars last Christmas and found a perfect one for our daughter. We have been glad overall for this purchase and are pleased not only with the quality of this beginner guitar but also how affordable it has been. We also found some really good learn to play guitar instructional DVD’s that helped teach our daughter the basics. I must say that of all the gifts we have given our daughter, she definitely loves the guitar the very most!
What do you do when your kid is convinced that she is the next Hannah Montana? Do you give her a dose of reality or do you just go along with it? My husband says that this is just a phase and it will pass so don’t take it too seriously. In fact he came home from work last night and told me that he had been searching for some childrens electric guitars online. He thinks that this is the perfect gift for our daughter and that she will have SO MUCH FUN with this gift!
How can I be a party pooper? If a kids electric guitar will make her happy then why not? Since we are getting her a childrens electric guitar we might as well get her some learn to play guitar songbooks as well. Our daughter is after all a well rounded kid who will more than likely not get too carried away. As long as she keeps up with her school work I am fine!
Twins run in our family and I have 2 fraternal twin boys who love music as much as I do. We hope to be able to get them some amateur guitars this year for Christmas. It has been so great to learn that there are some really cool kids electric guitars out there. We have a wonderful cousin who will offer them really good instruction. We also have some wonderful learn to play guitar DVD’s as well.
I have played guitar, drums, and piano throughout my life and my wife has played piano and harp most of her life. We are very glad to have them learn guitar and other instruments and/or hobbies of their choice. There are some great kids instruments out there and I have to admit that I would love to see my boys become musicians like their parents
Christmas time is the time for festivities, fun, being together and MUSIC! I perform in a band with three of my very closest friends. We’ve known each other since childhood and we all LOVE Christmas because it is the time when we perform for family and friends in town. It is a great homecoming for everyone! Nothing would make me happier than to have my son Eric join me on stage one day! He has LOVED music his whole life and now expresses an interest learning to play the acoustic and electric guitar. My wife and I agree that we want to start looking at amateur guitars for Eric.
I am excited about this and I know Eric will be a fast learner, after all it’s in the genes! He has been begging us for several years to let him learn to play guitar. He is in good hands because I will teach him and so will the many friends in the business who will show him different styles of playing. I think it will be another fantastic Christmas!
Our son Christopher has just informed us that next semester he will be taking guitar lessons as an elective. He seems SO excited about this and says that he would like us to look at some beginner electric guitars with him for a Christmas gift. After speaking with Christopher’s teacher, she informed us that what we need to look for are beginner childrens guitars. She told us where we can find some that are of a good quality and are reasonably priced. She also said that the kids would be learning on beginner acoustic guitars. The teacher also mentioned some good learn to play guitar instructional DVD’s that would be good for Christopher.
As parents we have always encouraged our children to pursue their interests and have told them that as long as they do their very best we will do whatever necessary to support their hobbies and interests. Christopher says that he has wanted to learn how to play guitar for awhile now and maintains that he will keep up with his studies and continue to play on his baseball team. We shall see. We’ll keep you posted!
The acoustic guitar is a popular instrument in our family. Both of my parents played and performed in our area. I have played off and on throughout the years and now both my son and daughter are expressing an interest to play. We are very delighted but also hope that they don’t have to play. With the holidays literally just around the corner we are really giving serious consideration to purchasing some quality childrens acoustic guitars!
We have some very good instructors in our family who have a lot of experience and will provide acoustic guitar lessons. We also know of some really good learn to play guitar books and DVD’s. It is all very exciting and I believe the love of guitar has actually brought our family closer together. I think it will be a fine Christmas!
What will Santa have on his sleigh this year? If my daughter Karen has any say whatsoever there will be a childrens acoustic guitar. I am happy to try and honor this request for her but my husband and I both know that the budget is tight ever since he lost his job five months ago. He takes odd jobs here and there but we do struggle somewhat.
I have been looking online to price childrens acoustic guitars and have to say that I thought they would cost a lot more than they do. So perhaps we can afford this for Karen as well as some good learn to play guitar DVD’s. I think Karen will be delighted with what Santa will bring her down the chimney this year!
What is a mother to do? My daughter Kelly tells me that her music teacher at school tells the class how important it is for them to follow their passion for many different reasons. Kelly now says that she feel strongly that she needs a beginner guitar. Oh wow! I said well IF we get her a guitar it will be a combined Christmas and birthday gift. Kelly assures me that she is fine with this arrangement
My husband just came home from work today and said that he had done an exhaustive search on the internet and found that amateur guitars are not as expensive as we both assumed they would be. He said that not only did he find some good beginner acoustic guitars but also some very good learn to play guitar books and DVD’s. I think that Kelly will be pleased as punch this Christmas!
