Teaching my Father to Play.

Off He Goes · 2007-05-24T18:42:24Z

So as the title says, I'm going to teach my dad how to play guitar. I'm real excited about it, as its a good chance to do something for him as hes taught me so much over the years. He asked me to show him a few chords last night and I did, so we're going to see where it goes.He's got a musical stripe in him for sure, doesn't play and instrument, but can sing fairly well, dances well, is pretty rhytmic and so on. He's a huge music fan, and with my mother they have one of the greatest collections I've seen, thousands of records and cds. He likes just about anything really, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, is whats in his cd player now, but hes big into folk/acoustic music, blues, jazz, rock, traditional and pretty much everything except rap and techno.Anyway, I want to know the best way to go about teaching him. I only took 5 or 6 lessons about 5 years ago. He is a big fan of the way I play, mainly acoustic with alot of barre-chords and fingerpicking, but I figure that'll come later. Besides the Easy Song Database and Chords charts and stuff what else is good for beginneers? I've only got until September, when I go back to university, so I want to help him get a good base to build from. So who wants to help me out?Thanks, Paul
