My very own Guitar Hero....

This year we decided to yield to Riley's pleas to buy him a guitar and see where he takes it. We started with an inexpensive second hand acoustic guitar, we found a local clinic and booked him in for lessons. They usually do not take such young children but they thought they would give him a go and then let me know whether to bother bringing him back the following week or wait another year. After just one lesson they said he was really good at it and they accpeted him as a student. He has been having weekly lessons for 4 months now and is still really keen and still really enjoying it. His teacher, Chad (who is a dead wringer for Toby Mcguire) is very pleased with his progress.

Hard at work putting in his 20 minute practice time.

Concentrating.

Not too busy to flash a gorgeous Riley Smile though :)

and of course never too busy to 'rock out' LOL!

So after a couple of months learning on the acoustic we decided to let Riley earn his electic guitar. He was very dedicated to his evening practices and quickly earned his way to his electric guitar....now of course it is all about the electric.....

The gig bag behind him was a gift from the owners of the clinic where he takes lessons as a reward for doing so well on his Grade One end of year report card! What a lucky and spoilt boy he is!
