Wooohoooo! The toys that make the noise.

What can she play? I wanna learn to play the guitar, too.

Ah, yes. The guitar for Christmas. When he was 12, that is what my older son wanted. He spent hours teaching himself to play. HOURS.
I have never seen the kid so totally devoted to anything. It was amazing. The kid had the attention span of a spastic flea.
Five years later, he is playing lead electric guitar in our church Praise and Worship band every Sunday AND rhythm and acoustic guitar for the youth band. I am so proud of him. It’s hard to believe that at one time I worried that he would never have any direction in life.
It was the best hundred bucks I ever spent. (Not that he still plays the hundred buck guitar!! ) This Christmas his present was an Alvarez electric acoustic.
If she is into it, encourage her!!

We got her a learning-the-guitar book for kids, so she’s working on Mary Had A Little Lamb.
If she turns out to be really into it, I’ll look into lessons.
Angie, that’s so cool!!!

Very cool! She gets a guitar and we have an excuse to use the cute guitar smiley.
I live in a house of musicians but have no musical talent whatsoever myself.
Are those more antiques in her room?

I got a guitar once when I was younger
…never did learn to play the thing :oops:
Did you get my e-mail?

Looks like fun!
My daughter had been asking for a guitar for a while, bugged my husband until he finally gave her his old one. He told her, “If you work hard and stay interested, I’ll buy you your own.” We’ll see what happens.

Wow–my family all have musical talent but not me!! Future rock star in the making? Or maybe a country star now you’re in the country.

Jennifer, yes, I got it! I hope you got my confirmation email.
We got her a REALLY inexpensive guitar. But if she likes it and really gets into it, we’ll get her something better. She might even inspire me to learn. I could do Mary Had A Little Lamb.:yes:

And yes, Jennifer, those are some really beautiful antiques in her room. PLEASE GOD she doesn’t break any of them!!:shocked:

Good Luck Morgan! My son, Luke taught himself on my old guitar(ANCIENT). He started out with just a chord chart and is now writing his own songs! Too bad he can’t hold a tune…his singing is pathetic! The internet has many free sites(to get the chords to current hits and the lyrics too).
