Joan found a 3-chord Taylor Swift song (Shake it Off), that the kids may relate to. She has been doing research for me, as well.

Of course, going with the assumption that these kids have no guitar experience, we won't be starting out with playing songs. This evening, she did tell me that all but one of the kids has been in band... so, they should have some foundation and understand what practicing is all about. I am encouraged.

After Monday, I'll have a better idea of what I am in for.

Today, Joan and I hit up a couple more guitar shops, looking for a potential nylon string guitar. The woman is an enabler... I have been looking at guitars in the $299 to $600 range, she brought me a couple guitars and said, "Don't look at the price tag, just play it." One was a Taylor 312ce-n... it spoiled me for the lesser expensive guitars. I think I will take a break from my search for a few days. This evening, she has been looking at entry level guitars for kids. I may have said this before: "After Monday, we'll have a better idea of what we are in for."
