I can see it.
My 7 yr old is learning on my "throw away" Ibanez fretless. Donovan can slap up a damn storm - timing.... ? , well, give me three more years with him. He is just learning the fretboard now, major minor tonality and TIME.
I hope to have a "monster in the house" when he's 10. He prefers to strum the guitar and sing the blues, but....
Kids, man, its what some of us LIVE for.
