  3. I do 3 types of songs Songs about drinking Songs about the beach And songs about drinking at the beach.
  4. I taught kids that age years ago and it seemed that no 2 were alike. What seemed to work best was teaching a few chords to work towards a simple song. That keeps the recreational part going that Ted mentioned. Slowly add fundamentals but not at a rate that makes it boring. Not right away but early on try to get them to use a metronome.(Major Challenge) It's sometimes hard not to sit there and rip off some of your fancier licks, but if you aren't careful you can intimidate rather than motivate someone that young. Keep it Fun
  5. Funny story from years ago. We had played a party at our singers house and all went well. The next morning I went back to get my gear and the singer and lead guitar player were having an animated conversation. The singer and his girlfriend shared a house with another girl and she looked ok but was pretty strange. The singer asked gp if he had slept with girl and he kept saying "NO NO WHY" By then I knew the game was on!!! Finally the singer told him that the girl had "Sickle Cell Anemia" I thought I would piss myself right there. This girl was as blond as you can buy in a bottle. Well he kept denying it and finally my buddy let it go. About 3 days later he showed up at practice and man was he pissed. Evidently he had gone to the health clinic and told the receptionist that he needed to be tested for sicle cell. He said the black receptionist rolled her eyes up at him took one look 5ft5" blondheaded white boy. She said "I DON'T THINK SO" Man I would have loved to have been there. 20 years later he still hasn't lived it down.
