Out of all.. this thread has become my fav..
thanks a lot for sharing..

How can we get a student to learn as a beginner without loosing interest..?
what should we teach so that they feel they're learning something..

I mean some just give up playing if they are not hearing what the should..
How to handle this..?

Yeah.. sure we do.. The way it fits with major chords like C D F and G is just amazing.. And i also like Bm a lot..

That sure is modified.. Or it may also be custom made..

Of course.. Short nails will really help..

So as the lady above suggested.; just show them your nails and tell them that this is how they should be to improve smoothness on the fretboard.

Just make him do some finger exercises and teach him some simple melodic licks..
I wud just love to see a six year old playing melodic lines..

That was really helpful.. thanks fro sharing.

That definitely has to be
"Neil Zaza" he plays very melodic lines... He makes guitar sing..

Joe, Eric johnson, I also love Keith scott..

I got my guitar at 12, i was inspired by BRYAN ADAMS back then and later on progressed to "Erick johnson" and Clapton, Buddy Guy, Mark Knophler... I was amazed by the vision of holding a guitar in front of full arena.. i wish i had that kinda fan following..

I started playing when i was 12.. and wrote my first song in 14.. but most of us would be knowing that "BRYAN ADAMS" wrote a song like "SUMMER OF 69" when he was 10, so i guess at least we can start at 6 or something..

<r>Just like jamesd74 said.. a full size guitar would be fine.. As it sounds better too.. or if you think that it might be a little hard for her to get used to those metal strings.. you can also go for an nylon strings guitar for a start.. and progress to nickel lately, this will help her gradually ...

<r>Summer of 69 has bin the one of the greatest of all times...<br/>
Bryan adams is best..<br/>
