Guitar Upgrade





Rowan has been loving his guitar lessons for the past 8 months, and after much debate it was decided that his acoustic guitar was just too big for him. He'd been asking for an electric guitar for awhile now, so we finally decided to take his Fender acoustic down to October Guitars and see if we couldn't make a deal.
My friend Tracey's husband owns the place, which is chock full of fabulous choices both new and used. We finally decided on a Fender Squier Stratocaster - metallic red, with three single coils, and a used Peavey amp. Picked up a new gig bag, some new picks, and a tiger striped stand. He is in seventh heaven. I'm so glad we did it - and I think with a guitar that's more his size, he'll improve even faster!
I've got everything set up for him in their playroom-turned-jam-room......Devon is hanging out with him listening to tunes on his Creative Zen player!
Also, today was the first day of drumset lessons for Rowan and it went really well. Devon's sax lessons begin next week - he can hardly wait!

Looks like he needs to work on that guitar posture. :) Just kidding.
