That's hypothetical question! No one with certainty can say when is the right time for learning. I would say this is when child shows particular interest as opposed to the usual, for a new toy. However, for some serious learning, my bottom line is 8 or 9 years old -
a time when the child has matured concentration and with attention can to listen and learn! Younger children really require much effort and energy from teachers. It is very difficult and sensitive pedagogical work and I am not willing to, let say, forcing five-year child to exercise and to blame him, or punish him, if he made a mistake or some...I have no heart for it
!
Another story is if the child is
not interested in guitar, and parent treat his own complexes over the child, and wants his child to be what he once wanted while he was young !!! That's much worse..
So, in your case-
there is no better teacher than you !! Don't force him,of course, keep him close while you practice, you will know when he is excited, bored, he will come to listen and imitate you, and slowly it will exceed to the routine, and you'll feel the moment for show him the first chord, song, and so on...
