So we were shopping today, and my 4 year old son had some Christmas money on him. He came across a First Act mini-dreadnaught steel string acoustic, and had to have it. For $30, this thing was a deal. It even came with a nice hard case. It sounds OK, and is quite playable, and stays in tune well. I was proud of him.
In preparation for teaching him a little, I went to a local acoustic music shop to get some fresh strings for my acoustic. I literally haven't picked up a guitar in over a year, and have not seriously practiced in eons. What little I do know is mostly self taught, and some stuff I picked up by hanging around better players.
Anyway, I see that they offer lessons at this place. 30 min/week for $17.50 per session. It is run by an older couple, who apparently are bluegrass players. I'm thinking about doing it, starting next month when things should be settled down a little.
I really don't know where i'm going with this, because I have no idea what to expect from lessons. I don't know if they focus strictly on bluegrass, or what. I figure learning the fundamentals will help me more than anything, and just getting back to practicing seriously, like I used to do.
So, if any of you have taken lessons, I'd like to hear of your experiences!
