For starters, what kind of guitar does he have? Electric or acoustic?
Start off with the foundations first, if your son practices, he can get them done and over with in 2-3 months. Now, its not going to be exciting, but the benefits will be huge. At the same time, try to apply the foundations to songs that he likes or songs that he may like. It keeps in interesting. After that, figure out what style he wants to concentrate on.
The easist way to do the foundations is to whip through at least the first 2 Mel Bay guitar books. I know they seem corny, but they are very good.
