Random...
The older offspring has expressed interest in learning a musical instrument. Guitar is what he came up with.
Do I just buy a cheap one off Amazon to see if he likes it?
Anyone got something I can borrow/buy/rent to own?

I hope he tries it and it sticks, but who knows with this kid.

If @jimvreeland hasn't already hooked it up I have an acoustic guitar I would sell pretty cheap, or if he’s trying to rock I have an amp and a handful of distortion/effects pedals I would get rid of.

@MadisonDan I have a cheapo Ibanez electric somewhere in the shed if you want him to make lots of noise.

Just found this thread somehow figured good to follow now. Ever since I got a great deal from @lancerracer on this bass guitar setup my boy #3 loves to rock it.

They have rock and roll academy club as part of the middle school and then for HS it’s a full year performance class.

He’s been playing for a year or so now and is a quick study. Also likes to sing too I will have to find a clip and post it (sorry now I am Dad Bragging)

I dunno, could be a Thanksgiving song.....Funny, I have a billion dollars of recording gear but still do this stuff on my phone. @capedoc has to show me how the smart guys do it.

There’s something to be said for the in-the-moment unedited performance of a phone recording.

Your fingerstyle playing is absolutely mesmerizing. Bravo!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ha! Yes I have seen this before.

I quit lol!

It's super interesting to see this kid play covers. I wonder why he adopted this right hand style to play straight linear scale phrases? Most fingerstyle is to hit wider intervals that can't be picked...

Was clicking around the Kiesel site looking at guitar porn and stumbled across my guitar. Only their favorite builds get featured in the gallery ☺️
