Help my dad teach my kid guitar

My dad is a great rhythm guitarist, and my teenage daughter has taken an interest in the instrument. They’re a month into playing together and she’s been playing every day or two, and they play together once or twice a week. He’s never taught guitar before but they’re having fun.

He is a little unconfident in his teaching, and also a little bit of the mindset that she should just start learning on her own if it’s of interest to her.

I think she enjoys playing, and also it’s a way to connect with her Grampy, plus a zoomer teenager just naturally gravitates toward screen addiction. So I really am pushing their lesson time together.

It’s going pretty well but I wonder if you guys have any tips or feedback for how to consistently make the process fun and good.

One thing is that they have changed songs a few times, so they’re not really learning any one thing. It seems fine as it’s building a general familiarity, but I also wonder if they should stick to a song till it’s mastered.

But in general I just want to show my dad this thread and have him continue to be stoked about teaching, and have some neat ideas or mental framework moving forward.

Thanks in advance

I imperfectly re-read books in order 3, 1, 2. Questions:

When did Pal figure out how to switch into Cam’s body? Last we see him in HtN he asks harrow to make a skeleton hand for Cam. Does that skelly hand show up in Nona?

Harrow enters the Locked Tomb at the end of HtN and that’s how Alecto enters her body and becomes Nona? She goes through her dream into the river and then into the locked tomb? Then at the end of NtN that’s how she re-enters her body and Alecto returns to her body?

Gideon is being resuscitated at the end of HtN, when does she return to her body? How does God find her body? She shows up as Kyriona in NtN but the story of how she got resurrected is unclear to me.

Alecto is the resurrection beast of earth ? And also John’s cavalier? He created a body and put the Earth’s ghost into it and draws power from it?

Corona and Cam pick up Harrow and Pyrrah in the aftermath of HtN? How do John and Ianthe survive? Travel through the river ??

What’s up with the two hander in HtN? Is that where Gideon’s ghost is attached ?? Or Wake? When Wake is killed by Pyrrah can’t she return to the sword ?

I feel like I still have a patchy picture of everything even tho I feel like I mostly get it while reading. Is there like a timeline/ breakdown of events and characters somewhere?

[taʁaʁ]; c. 1772 – 1798), sometimes spelt Tarar, was a French showman, soldier, and spy noted for his unusual appetite and eating habits. Able to eat vast amounts of meat, he was constantly hungry; his parents could not provide for him and he was turned out of the family home as a teenager. He travelled around France in the company of a band of prostitutes and thieves before becoming the warm-up act for a travelling charlatan. In this act, he swallowed corks, stones, live animals, and a whole basketful of apples. He then took this act to Paris, where he worked as a street performer.

He ate any available food from gutters and rubbish heaps but his condition still deteriorated through hunger, and he was hospitalised due to exhaustion. He became the subject of a series of medical experiments to test his eating capacity, in which, among other things, he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards, and puppies, and swallowed eels whole without chewing. Despite his unusual diet, he was underweight and, except for his eating habits, showed no signs of mental illness other than what was described as an apathetic temperament.
