Tell him about the instrument, first of all. Make sure he knows what the different parts of the guitar are, the string names, etc.

Start with notes on fretboard , how are they distributed there (half steps etc)...Show him the chords, and maybe some basic scales..Also proper hand positioning techniques etc..

If possible a simple three chord song to keep interest going. Also introduce them to GuitarMasterClass.net. That way they can see where they are going to on this guitar quest.

Don't give him boring stuff right away, give him something interesting, like easy songs or something. When you see him asking questions about theory THEN explain some basic concepts, starting with pentatonics and Cmajor scale. This is the most common way for absolute beginners to get and hold their interest in guitar.

Ikke lær han for mye klassiske sanger da kan det bli veldig kjedelig for han, da kan han miste interessen for å lære å spill gitar.
Da jeg va som ca 7 år så begynte jeg å gå på gitarkurs, da lære jeg å spille Pål Sine Høner osv. og siden broren min spilte masse rockelåter for meg når jeg kom på kurset blei jeg veldig lei av alt den skiten jeg lærte av gitarlæreren, der etter mistet jeg lysten til å holde på med musikk, så ikke lær han kjedelige låter som Pål Sine Høner og Lisa Gikk Til Skolen x) Du burde lære han litt akkorder og lære han litt om gitaren, deretter burde du lære han et par enkle rockelåter. Hvis han liker rockelåter så har jeg et par sanger du kan lære han: Erotomania - Dream Theater(intro, vers) [Youtube] | [Guitar Pro] Glass Prison - Dream Theater(gitar intro) [Youtube] | [Guitar Pro] Sweet Child'o Mine - Guns N Roses [Youtube] | [Guitar Pro] Always On The Run - Lenny Kravitz(Det som Slash spiller ) This post has been edited by Jorbazz: Feb 11 2008, 02:15 PM -------------------- My Gear:

When you see him asking questions about theory THEN explain some basic concepts, starting with pentatonics and Cmajor scale. This is the most common way for absolute beginners to get and hold their interest in guitar. I don't think he should learn scales right away, I think he should get into the guitar playing first of all. he should learn scales whene he is really intrested in guitar and music. -------------------- My Gear:

I think start off with tabs and chords. I hated learning chords, it made me put down the guitar for a long time. Teach him some easy popular songs. How about:
-Wake me up when September ends by green day -The happy Birthday song Thats all i can think of. He's ten so i guess he probably has small fingers so it may be hard for him. Who knows, he may be the next Hendrix or Slash since hed have so much time to practice. -------------------- _____________________________________________________

I agree with you guys. Learning should be fun. As I stated in caps, when he is ready then show him the pentatonic, but as you say slowly.
