Members cnumb44 Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I may have misread your original post, but it seemed he was interested in the equipment and the music scene. Maybe you could spend a lesson or two on guitar electronics and mechanics. He might be more interested in being a tech or producer than in playing. Maybe he can help you do a setup or do a recording of you playing using some good equipment. He does have interest, maybe he just needs to understand where.

Members Frank Prince Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Originally posted by pretaanluxis he's only 13, I think your being a bit harsh...but definitely tell him to buy an electric tuner and use it every time he plays +100000000000.In fact, suggest it to his parents, and let them know that you want them to buy it so you will not have to waste any valuable lesson time on tuning. Tell THEM that he should use the tuner before each lesson.Then, every time he shows up with the guitar out of tune, slowly and painstakingly force him to tune up each string in front of you with the tuner before the lesson goes on. Let him know each time that you would have more time for fun stuff in the lesson if he would show up in tune.If he forgets the tuner, force him to tune to your guitar by ear.He will probably get sick of all that after a while and just start getting it done.Plus, if his parents ask you about his progress and you tell them that you have to spend a third of each lesson tuning his guitar. they will probably "motivate" him themselves.

Yup - and democrats/liberal party supporters (depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on )In fact if you oppose beating children you're clearly a pot-smoking, wooly minded, liberal idiot - and a communist (Disclaimer - i do not approve of beating kids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
