I noticed from a few threads here that many 'Catters are teaching guitar. Maybe you folks can help me out here.

I was asked last fall to help my son's friend learn some improvisation on guitar. I said yeah kind of as a favour and for a pretty nominal fee. Problem is I'm self taught; never took a lesson. So over the years, yeah I've gotten into blues and some jazz comping, and I do okay. In my mind I've got tons to learn of course, and also my interests are divided between electric blues guitar and my singer/songwriter acoustic stuff; lots of irons in the fire.

So anyway I say yeah sure, and I start to teach him what i know the way I learned it. Basically I start out with pentatonic scales and their patterns up and down the neck, discuss the limited theory which I've been able to figure out and which might be of use. And the kid seems to really be enjoying it.

BUT... I'm out of ideas. I have no clue now what to do with this kid. Where do I go from here? I mean okay, I've done the pentatonic thing, then added notes and gone over the diatonic scales, relative minors and so on. But now what? Any suggestions?
