Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Young is good. Almost the younger the better, though I'd probably not try to seriously teach a student until they were 8 (some kids sooner, some kids later). I've done my share of formal teaching for money, a couple of times right out of a guitar store booth.

Now's a good time to show them that they don't have to press hard on the frets. The lighter they can press on the frets to make a note ring true, the better. Learning a light touch now will save a couple of years of fixing it later in life. Pretty much everyone I hear without formal instruction is pressing the frets too hard - and I'm guilty of doing so myself.

It's easier to learn good habits than it is to correct bad habits. <-- That's very important.

As long as he gets to do what he loves when he grows up and is happy in his life is the best you can hope for. Anything else is just gravy
