Nice.
My son has just started expressing an interest in playing his guitar. He likes to sit cross-legged on the floor with me and make ambient scratchy noises or attempt to play the Imperial March theme on the open strings.

How old is he?

Five
I think it is around this age when you actually develop enough strength in the fingers to be able to fret a chord.

I tuned my daughter's guitar
to an open G in the hope that she becomes a slide ace.

Good plan
It's a bit more encouraging if it doesn't sound completely shite for them as they bash at the strings.
It worked for Keef too.

I concur, it's a good idea
But Madonna was also started off with an open tuned guitar.

She's good, but she's no 'Erasure', eh?

*sigh*
It's difficult to take the musical high road when you have taste as bad as mine. I literally booked tickets to see Erasure yesterday. This will be the third time I'll have seen them.

In other music news...
I forgot to say - I took delivery of that Baby Huey LP earlier this week. Your assessment was about right, a couple of tracks the you can skip over but the rest is all good.

Glad you like it.
I love that guy. 'Listen to Me' is a stone cold classic.
