Six string music

Ampa and M had a hard time this year trying to find the perfect thing for Skyler for Christmas. We found cute clothes, but we really wanted to find the perfect toy for Sky to play with. After a long day of shopping there it was. Ampa rounded the corner and didn't need to look any further. It was in our hands and we were checking out. Wrapping it was a chore and then fitting it under the tree was another story. I think Ampa wanted Skyler to open it early so he could see it and enjoy it. The suspense soon ended. Skyler opened it posed for a few photos and then wanted to be left alone. He and Ampa spent some time in the basement playing and then it happened.

Ampa played his guitar and Skyler got his guitar. He was very intent on watching what Ampa was doing. He is a born natural and plays with all ten fingers. Classical could be in his future but if history or "Gene" has anything to do with it, he will figure out folk music is where it's at.

Guitar playing is a lot of hard work. Lots of hours are spent in this very position. What a better way to start learning than to play with the big boys.
