Guitar

Yep, I'm a 25 yr guitar player, (Youtube: Brandon Pennington U2 cover). Get him a used acoustic, put him in front of Youtube, and let him go at it. If it's meant to be, everything he could ever want to do is right in front of him. Just add effort.

I know Elivis played and sang.

The Shadows were brilliant.

That is the extent of my knowledge.

Sup Master,

I play some guitar as well, I've just been fucking around a bit with it for a few years, I recon like someone said earlier second hand acoustic and be put infront of youtube, as soon as he realise he can play intros or what so ever he will probably get into it a bit more, first few weeks will be tough though. try to explain that to him in the beginning, and get him to learn the basic chords and some strum patterns, so he can fuck 'bout a bit.

I recon a ukulele is good fun as well, good traveling and all around fun.

otherwise a drum kit is always good fun for the family

No way with the drum!

I bet you only learned to play the guitar to have sex with hot women. There is nothing wrong with that.

No, but I'd watch him play anywhere. I use Youtube to figure out different versions of covers, or for leads that I can't figure out.

Bought a second hand electric guitar with amp from music shop for £100. The guitar itself was £75.

I also got the guitar pick cost 70p.

Did not know that the string's have to be changed every so often.

I've only just seen this, how old is your nipper? if he is really young then I would have seconded the Ukulele idea, great fun they are and easy to learn.

I also would have seconded the advice of getting an acoustic before an electric, electric guitars can mask a lot of errors.

I hope he sticks with it anyway man, make sure he doesn't just try and jump into Hendrix and shit like that, make sure he learns his chords and he can strum a few songs before moving onto the riffs.

Here is a pic of my little family

He is 15 years old and Ukulele would have been a good idea.

I heard him playing the guitar yesterday in his room, so he is practicing.
