My son says that he wants to learn to play guitar. He has been saying this for more than a year now, so we're thinking about having Santa bring him a guitar.
Which guitar would you recommend for a 6-year-old boy? Also, which size? And is a nylon-string guitar better for a very young child than a steel-string one?
I went and looked at a local music store, and they had a Jay Jr steel string guitar and a Hohner nylon string guitar. The woman (who says she teaches a couple of 6-year-olds) recommended one of those for him. They're 3/4 size. She said that a 1/2-size guitar would be too small for a 6-year-old. Now that I've found this forum, though, I'm wondering about that; I've seen a couple of posts talking about 1/2-size guitars for 5-year-olds and 9-year-olds.
What would you recommend?
