as i'd been playing for a few years and needed some cash i offered to teach one of my mum's friends's son when they asked.
on top of wanting to play some of the most craptacular music i've ever heard, this kid was thick as two short planks, wouldn't listen to a word i said and made stupid (and horrible) remarks the whole time.
on top of this, any time i left the room he would de tune my guitars or mess around with them.
the last straw came when he turned the volume on my amp to the top and nearly burst the speaker (not to mention deafening anyone in a 20 mile radius).
after that i told his mother to leave and never darken my door with her son of Satan again. :D
i was probably just unlucky, but it put me off ever teaching again! but if you actually want to teach and aren't just desperate for money, you'll probably be more tolerant than i was.
hate to be the voice of doom, but there you go! :)
