Saying "Hi."

I'm Rebecca. I do not (today) play guitar yet. My son Hunter is 10. As of today he also doesn't play guitar. We are going to learn together over the next couple of months where we both have unlimited time to practice (together and separately). We get that we won't be guitar-gods-and-goddesses in a couple of months but we should be able to make some great noise, right? We are total beginners and would love any guidance you can offer. Thanks for letting us hang out!

I wish that I would have started playing guitar with my son at 10.. I think that will create an extra bond between you two :D And who knows.. if you stick with it and you both do get good enough, you may just wind up being a mother / son team on television someday :D Never know...

Hi Rebbeca..
Welcome to GT
That's totally awesome.. I hope you can inspire and keep each other
focus..
Learn all you can about guitars to make things as easy as possible.
I bet there are tons of people on here that wish they could be in your
position..
Good luck and happy playing..

Hi Rebecca,

What a great idea, if you have not already realised your fingers are going to hurt like hell, the pain goes away (accoustic guitar that is),but it takes time.
practice everyday, enjoy, you will hit walls, go around them, this is the best site for you. Start at the beginning and don't be impatient because you have just started an ever ending journey, your son is lucky to have you as a mum.

welcome

Pete

Hi Rebecca, good luck. I just want to say one thing. When I started, I could not believe how difficult it was, and I could not imagine ever improving. But if you stick at it, just a little practice each day, one day you suddenly find yourself playing the guitar - and it honestly does not take long before you see improvements - Don't give up!

Best wishes
Keith
