My son (13) is interested in learning guitar, but wants to learn from me instead of taking lessons. I'm hoping he'll turn around on that eventually, but I'm not picking that battle today.
I'm a pretty good player with some decent theory knowledge, but I've been playing so long that I wouldn't have a clue how to teach a beginner with limited patience, let alone my own son. :D.
Based on his musical tastes, he's on a trajectory to be more of a multi-instrumentalist pop producer type than a guitar hero, so my gut says rhythm and harmony/musicianship should be the focus.
Any suggestions on how to approach this? In particular any book or video series to use as a basis?
