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
