I took lessons for a year or two when Nixon(?) was president, and lost interest. About five years ago, my neighbor was having a garage sale, and before the vultures swooped down, I scooped up a no-name guitar, took it to the shop, and had new strings and a setup done. I was playing around with some lessons I found online, and my (then) 7-y/o son started asking me to teach him. My wife insisted that we get a real teacher. I heard that the director of my church's contemporary music group (aka 'Folk Mass') taught on the side. I called him up, told him the situation, and mentioned that I was playing again. The next thing out of his mouth was "Would you like to start practicing with us? We could use some fresh blood on Sunday mornings.."Anyway, I've been playing most Sundays for almost five years now, my son started after a year of lessons-he's no prodigy, but certainly talented. The nice thing is that he's in with some very experienced(his teacher has 35+ years playing and teaching, and the keyboard player teaches in the local school system) musicians, you can't get a more wholesome environment, and he's better than I'll ever be- Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> I second the answer above- there’s no substitute for the give-and-take of a live instructor.
