SWEETNESS TIMES TWO :thu::thu:

 

You should put his Strat into an open tuning, so he could just put his fingers across a fret and make a chord!! Or, maybe he could simply hold a slide across a fret and play chords right away???

Nope! He's going to learn like I did with barbed wire strings, mile high action and standard tuning. :eek::D

That's a great prezzy, Keith. :thu::D I'm sure he'll love it. I have a Fender Strat Junior that is almost identical to one of those. I like it a lot. It plays and sounds great. The Squier is probably a great little player, too.

 

What are you going to string it with? 8's or 9's? I can't imagine a 6 year old being able to handle more than that (at first, at least).

 

Did you get him his own amp?

I have lots of 9s for my own guitars (after I exhaust the supply, I may start using 10s) so I may try those.

 

Don't have an amp for him. If I hadn't traded in my other one for the HRD, he'd have one.

 

I'll just pick up something used and cheap or let him play through my amp once in awhile.

Nice.

 

You should give it to him for his Bday, then show him the Who video where they break all their guitars on stage. Then do that to the guitar you just bought in front of him.

 

Tell him you gave him a much needed lesson in rock 'n' roll for his Bday.

 

HAHA, just kiddin nice gift.
