Sounds like great advice. Patience is definitely the key. I want him to have fun with it. I thought maybe I could teach him a simple melody line to give him a sense of accomplishment, and allow to him to "play" something for others. I am also trying to come up with a game or something that we can play with two guitars that would help him learn, but would also be fun.
Maybe "Follow the Leader". He could just play the note that I play. I could just play notes one finger at a time. He would work out his fingers a bit, learn the names of some notes. I'll try it.
Thanks for the advice.
