RockClimber I play nothing & often wish I did! (21) RE: I play nothing & often wish I did! 25 Oct 09

Hi folks.

I own a guitar and there was a spell in 1998 when I was actually able to pick out a few of the tunes in Peter Kennedy's book at a tempo that rendered them almost recognizable. But then I had to get a job again.

Now my little boy (who will be 7 in December) wants me to dust off my guitar and teach him how to read notes and play it. He's been watching Luke Kelly on YouTube wants to learn . . . Monto.

Monto by The Dubliners, 1976

As it happens, I have actually bought him a child-size Fender acoustic which my friend has hidden away until until his birthday.

Any suggestions as to how to go about teaching him when my own knowledge is so extremely limited? I don't have a budget for outside lessons right now.

Thanks,
E. Ramos
