Electric guitar and amp

[hyena426]

For the aspiring rock guitarist (like your son) I would suggest you DON"T get him an acoustic unless you want to discourage him. It's always about what the player wants.. not the parents, friends, etc.

very well put wolf,,when im teaching a kid,,i ask him what groupes he likes and what kinda music he is interested in,,then you can get a good idea of what to show him after he learns how to tune his guitar by him self,,lol

and as for chicks,,,well i met my girl freind at one of are local shows,,and im very happy with her,,so my eletric hooked me up,lol

i play every weekend in a local bar band,,,,we play from 9 till 2 in the morning,,150 songs we learned to pull from,,cover and originals,,fridays and sats,,then switch bars with a local blues band<~~~which is a really good band,,and its good to switch from rock to blues,,so ya dont burn them out on metal,,,but they book us twice as much as the blues band,,and pay us more,,because we sell more alcohall,,blues and jazz,,and classical tunes mellow people out,,its for slow dancers and coffee drinkers,,and it dont sell as much alcohall,,people hear that rock,,go crazy and wanna get messed up,,lol we only play a few blues tunes,,SRV house is a rockin and pride and joy is about as much blue as we play,,lol

i like them both<~~i play and teach bass too,,talk about good for making your fingers strong,,lol,,but like wolf said,,if you get a acoustic for your kid,,he will be very dissapointed,,get him what he wants:)
