Members eric_kv2 Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Get him a pro setup that you'd like as well as he would. That way, if he doesn't want to play guitar, its yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JamesPeters Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Shave his head. And make him wear a black leather kilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Awesome!Jamming with my dad was one of the main things that kept me playing music. It was a great way to spend time with him, I hope your son and yourself churn out some killer riffs soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted February 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks guys. He wanted to know what a kilt was. I told him it was a man dress and he said no way. LOL. He also said he doesn`t want to look "metal". It`s too evil. HAHAHA...He doesn`t know the chicks love evil guys. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric The kilt reference was a joke to Deathmonkey, seeing as how he shaves his head and wears a black leather kilt on stage. And your kid knows what's up. As is he'll get the chicks. Trying to look metal won't help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NiCkMiLnE Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yeah, he`s 12 and got the bug lately. He`s wanting his own guitar and amp bad. I think he`s going to get a RG fixed bridge for his first ax. He does look like he`s got the attitude to pull it off.Eric only 3 years younger than me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chudanez Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Make sure he does 1 hour of chromatic exercises, 1 hour of sweep arpeggios and 2 hours of 8 finger tapping practice a day. Tell him if he doesn't, you'll get him a sex change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrifterAmps Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Very cool that your son is getting into guitar.... I remember being 5 or 6 and having my dad show me the basic open chord positions... of course back then I never took the time to REALLY learn it -- move ahead a couple years, and I went through the 'I wanna be a drummer' phase (like age 9 or 10)... that wore off at age 11 or 12 where I picked up a guitar again, and started taking it seriously... best thing that ever happened to me-- it kept me in check through the 'evil rebellious adolescent/teen years', and even though through many points in my life my father and I couldnt see eye to eye, guitar playing was the thing that DID keep us from becoming estranged... and now that I'm in my mid 30's, guitar playing and music is the common thing that we have.... I truely consider myself lucky to have grown up in a home where guitars were everywhere-- hey, I was one of the fortunate ones who DIDN"T have to learn on an old beater with strings an inch off the fretboard-- had my choice of Gibson's, Fenders, and some decent offshore made guitars at my reach.... ANYWAYS enough of the long rambling... ANyways, t's great yoru son is playing now... jsut be supportive, let him do his own thing with it, and well I'm happy for ya man.... I just hope that when my kid(s) are here, I can share that with them as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mctallica1 Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 That is awsome! {censored} all the negative response folks ( sorry, but dissing kids trying to find their way and a cool dad pisses me off). He looks like a good kid (as I would expect from a good person such as yourself:thu: ). Being a parent of young kids myself, I am always happy to see moms and dads take an interest in what their kids are doing....whatever it is. They may not stick with it, but it is our responsibility (IMHO) to show interest and encouragement in whatever they do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 that was the age i picked up guitar as well (damn it's been so long!)it's cool that you support him getting into it tho, and almost as cool that you've got such killer gear around the house the only support i got at that age was along the lines of "i'm paying for this damn thing, you better learn to play it!"
