1. Is he truly interested or does he agree to try in order to please you (I'm assuming you are his elder).
2. Constant encouragement and positive reinforcement! 3. Start as simple as possible, some things that are already be natural to you may not be natural for him. It's a very easy mistake for us to make when we attempt to teach others that something as simple as strumming or picking a single note is NOT natural for a true beginner. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Power chords and some simple chords first,
teach him to play some easy melody, it should work on single string as well. Then leave it to him to see how it goes, if he bites it nicely then you're set to go. If not, try few more times and make him stop saying how bad he is. -------------------- Youtube

So is that something I should help him with before I leave him alone or should I just teach him how to hold the chords? Well yeah, blending chords together is real pain for beginner, I'm sure you can remember how you dealt with it! Spend some time with him, help him with smoother transition with chords, simply chords. Once he manage that it'll be easier for him to mess around with more complex chords including bare ones. -------------------- Youtube

Perhaps start with chords that are an easier transition. E, Amin for example (or E and A sus2!) aren't too demanding early on?

Uriah Heep - Lady in Black
this one has only Am and G. One of the most famous tunes of all times in just 2 chords. You can then play the vocal melody on another guitar and that might sound interesting for him. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
