We can do "Friend of the Devil", "Rockey Raccoon", "Rivers of Babylon", "Knocking on Heaven's Door". Plus a bunch of songs in his books like "Red River Valley" type stuff and a lot of partial songs. We can do the beginning of "Free Bird". He plays the slide and I do the chords. On most of the songs, I play chords and he does the riffs and/or melody.]]> Opinions and Polls Riff Raff https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-226792 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-226773 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:29:46 +0000
When she was 11, my daughter wrote some lyrics and came up with a bass line, so I helped her record a song. Her singing ... well, it pretty much sounds like an 11-y-o's. The Riverside Jammers were gracious enough to join me in backing her when we performed it three summers ago.

It was all fun. Now, my daughter is 14 and as expected has all those 'other interests.']]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-226773 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-226699 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 04:38:19 +0000
Several years ago, his mom (my little girl) got married. I had hired my guitar teacher's band for the reception and he and I played a song together. I was trying to talk my grandson into playing with us, but he didn't have the confidence (very early in his lessons). It's a shame, it was a thrill for me. (I'm sure less of one for the audience, though.)

Since then, my grandson and I have played 'Happy Birthday' together for his younger sister and brother. That could qualify as the most fun I've ever had. The first time was such a thrill for me, he sounded so good, that I found myself stumbling over the chords I was playing. It's a good thing we didn't have time for any sound check since all the audience could hear was him. (phew).

Sorry, but no I can't describe the feeling beyond having to dry my eyes when it was over. I do consider myself very lucky to have shared that first experience with him. I was so proud of him, he was relaxed and enjoying himself. Then I looked over at his mom and saw the look on her face - wow!

He's 10 now and his confidence is growing, so I'm looking forward to more chances to play with him. Great incentive for me to practice harder.

You'll have a ball playing with him - something to really look forward to.]]> Opinions and Polls PappaJohn https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-226699 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/playing-with-your-children/#post-23769 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 02:28:43 +0000
