Hope your son keeps it up...get him involved in some of those venues that play as a band together to accompany his lessons. They really keeps their interest together when having that. |
Niiiiice!!! Glad to see other guitar freaks on here. Just getting past the point of finger training....So the learning curve is going away and I'm picking up songs in a matter of hours now. I can play most metallica songs (enter sandman, nothing else matter, etc), Cream, Black Sabath, Beatles, etc.

Epi. I won't buy a gibson until I get really good. From what I can tell, these Epi Les Pauls....especially the standard and studios....you cant tell the difference when you play. If the pickups or wiring starts to degrade, I'll replace with gibson hardware. Love it though. I'd practice with my acoustic like once every few days....now that I have the les paul special edition studio deluxe, I practice 3 times a day for 45 min. Makes getting better super quick.
