Need advice from the guitar players

(1/5) > >>

jonathan creason:
My 5 year old is pretty interested in music.  He's mentioned a few times (meaning multiple times per day) that he wants a guitar.  He loves playing with my old one at my parents' house, but it's just too big for him.  We're considering getting him one for Christmas, but I don't know where to look.  I don't want to buy him junk, but I can't afford to sink a lot into something he's inevitably going to outgrow.  Does anyone have any suggestions one where to find one?

Of course, the second part of the equation would be find someone patient enough to give lessons to a kindergartener.

Stoker:
When I went to send my grandson to guitar lessons.The fellow told me that they don't take anybody under 8yrs old just because
of their size.Most kids are not big enough to handle a guitar.But he also said that keyboard lessons are good to learn the notes
then they can make the move from there.I do trust this fellow having put both my children through 12yrs of combined lessons.
The gift of music is one the greatest things you can give.
Thanks Leroy

nugget:
Talk to Brian Irwin he plays guitar. He may know of an affordable guitar and maybe a teacher.

skyarrow:
i am a guitar teacher and i dont take any one till they are close to 8 because there attention span is so short but i think you can find a small sized guitar that he can play with till get gets a little bigger. there is a guitar called Washburn F1SK (Joey) Travel Guitar i have one they are the perfect size for a little one and they wont break the bank plus if he does continue to  play when he gets older he will have a travel guitar its a win win

islandpiper:
Or, start him on a Uke, any size.  fingerings are like the four highest strings on a guitar.  Good way to start out. We've been selling lots of ukes lately.  piper
