Got home tonight...and I guess I really do need a new guitar.

My daughter has been playing the piano for a while, she's pretty good at it too. Yesterday she discovered my Tele. Today she asked me how many amps I have. She's playing through my toneport right now. She already figured out the melody and notes for a Death Cab for Cutie song. I showed her how to make power chords.

I may have lost the Tele for a while...

Great day.
 
Awesome!

That's great. She's got a great ear if she's already working out melodies on day one!

And it's helpful to have a teaching living in the house.

Great!
 
Nice - My son is playing thorugh my classic 30 - I don't use it much anymore. He has no idea how good he has it.
 
I think the piano has given her a great head start. She understands a lot more theory than I do. Beyond chord shapes and stuff like that exclusive to the guitar, she is a better musician then me already. I just hope she will let me jam with her on occasion. :grin:

My son played trumpet for quite some time thorugh school. He learned a lot. Then he decided ot take guitar - I tought him a few things and then he started taking lessons privatley - learning the modes - triads and what makes up a chords and stuff.

Then he decided to sit on the piano - never had a piano lesson in his life and within a day he teaches himself John Lennons Imagine. Chords - Melody and both hands on the keys. It really impressed me. I asked him how he taught himself and he told me about agumented chords...suspended chords and how he applied that to the notes on the piano. It's good stuff.

That is freaking awesome. Sounds like what is going on here. It makes me really wish I hadn't been such a screw up growing up. I'm glad she is getting a good background.

It's always good to have a formal music foundation and then pickup the guitar. My kid started on violin in the sixth grade, gave it up in the 8th grade and moved on to guitar. He's also got a good ear and is getting pretty good at this point.
 
Now you just need to have a couple of other kids, teach one bass and one drums and you've got a whole band thing going on.

Way ahead of ya Mrs. P. My youngest daughter has already expressed interest in drums. My "middle" daughter is taking piano lessons already. I've got the bass waiting in the wings.

My wife will have to be the manager or something...working on a new van. :grin:
 
Wait a goddamned minute.


Are you JMB on the GP? :messedup:

For a musical family we've never played much with each other. We've accompanied other people or done little bits and pieces for recordings, but we've never had a family jam or anything like that.
