Last edited Sun Jul 30, 2017, 09:07 AM - Edit history (1)

A friend of mine who is retired studio guitarist came up with idea of teaching kids for free. So for last six months planning, we start tomorrow 4 pm to 8 pm two classes two hours each eleven children split into two groups. 4 pm to 6 pm then 6 pm to 8 pm , our son who is twelve and his friends will be involved from their band. Local music stores really helped out with guitars we picked up 15 Indonesian strats knock offs at good price. And each child will have pocket amp battery operated to take home and practice as well as their strats. So between three of us we have tube amps all set up at local music center. I am just really excited about this program I jokingly told my wife I'll teach kids Mary had a little lamb Stevie Ray Vaughn version. Then she told our son please keep your father focused at 51 she says I'm a big kid.
