I am so happy for your son and you. I have played guitar for a number of decades. Taught myself at around age 20 or so, and how to read and write music. But in the beginning it was classical guitar, then flamenco, eventually rock and jazz. At this point, I own a dozen guitars: 2 clasdical guitars and 10 electrics. I play every day after work for 1-2 hrs. Most rewarding part of the day. I wish your son the fufillment and joy I get from the instrument! If there is anything, like questions & advice re music or instruments, be glad to help!

You're such a great loving mom. God bless you. And your son and whole family. It really touched my heart and made me so happy when I read that your son couldn't stop smiling. That's so great. Thank you for being a great mom to your son.

Guitar is a gorgeous instrument. Fully portable too. I hope he has as much fun on his musical journey as I’ve had. So many musical genres, so many heroes to inspire him. What an exciting time!
I’m happy to advise on anything guitar, so feel free to ask whatever you like x

A great tune and a great band.

I hope your son really enjoys learning and playing and develops his talent as much as possible.

Pleased he has a mother to encourage and halp him develop with the guitar

There are so many peripherals he may want for his guitar. My grandson is really into it, is at music college, and has so many different add on gadgets. He also makes his own instruments. It is a great hobby.

It sounds like you had a great morning.
Great choice of album from your Walkman days, one of my favorites too.

My mom wanted me to play the piano, was taking lessons. A friend loaned me a guitar. Spent a lot time with that guitar. I play the keyboard too.

Any issues give me a shout.

He`ll be over the moon.

So what did he get? The two most popular guitars out there is the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul. The Fender is definitely the cheaper of the two.
