Backstory:
My grand daughter was asking me about do people really sometimes smash their guitars.
I immediately showed her a The Who video. Short version:
Right after seeing it she said she wanted to learn guitar. (ain’t that the way?!) So I started teaching her.
So in 24 hours she learned by memory Hot Cross Buns, Old MacDonald, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Her requests! And she's been playing on her own every day since. That's how you know they really want to play - when they do it on their own and seek it out on their own every day (sound familiar?).
Now she wants to learn a fourth song. I think it will be Mary Had a Little Lamb. But my Stratocaster is huge on her! She's pretty tall for her age though, like in the 95th percentile for height.
Anyway, her 8th birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I thought I could get her a child size guitar. Is that what a 3/4 size is?? For kids?
Any ideas what's a good size for an 8 year old? We have amps all over the house so no need for an acoustic. I think I'll teach her some whammy bar tricks next weekend. She ought to get a kick out of dive bombing.
Thanks for the ideas.
