this is incredible. you must be so proud++ it reminds me of a story of a few years ago...a very good old friend has a mid-teenaged son that can play almost any instrument...anyways after dinner they asked ben if he would play a song for us and he goes gets his acoustic and plays us a song he wrote! the song was incredible. his parents are music fans, just like yourself. all i could think of after the song was played was how proud his mom and dad must be. like you, music was never pushed on the child, so to see this, its' amazing. love this thread.
Thank you weddingparade. We are very proud. We just sit back and enjoy his little ride. He's makes being a parent fun. Thanks again for the nice comments

Wow, this was really cool. I am reminded again that I have no darn talent at guitar. Watching how he goes about it was inspiring --- not only will I pick up the guitar again this weekend but I am going to make more time to do the things I love to do that I am actually good at. So bravo to you -- you guys must be very proud -- and let the little guy know he is spreading what should always be spread when people listen to music....strong feelings. Made my day just a little better watching this, very cool.

Last one. He was learning Stairway and decided he'd like to try it at a little festival in the Ocoee region. No fear. He loves music. I've never once had to push him - it's all him.
He's progressing. I started him in once-a-week lessons late in 2014. He started asking questions that I couldn't answer. When you hear Dad say "I don't know" enough, I imagine it tends to get discouraging so I had to find the answers. He still loves it. He gets home from school and immediately hits his guitars. It's so much fun for me to watch. Thanks for asking. I hope you enjoy the few videos I've put up.

But seriously... Wow! Nicely done, young man!
Still progressing. Still loving it.
My 7 year old playing "She Talks to Angels" at a local open mic night. He continues to get better and love music so much.
Last one. His improvement with "Stairway to Heaven".
Stick to it young man,you're a jet
