1) Kid’s Guitar Lessons DVD…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many of you requested a DVD, or video, of teaching little kids
how to play the guitar. Well, it is now at the site. Please
check out…

2) Guitars…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In January, I participated in a big music trade show called ‘The
NAMM Show.’ A Chinese Guitar Manufacturing Company liked the
store loop I had just made for stores. They approached me about
making them some guitar instructional DVD’s with their
instruments.
We haven’t signed any contracts yet, but I was impressed with
the price and quality of their instruments. I asked them about
offering a couple of their guitars at the site.
Usually I’m not very impressed with Chinese guitars. This
company bought their tooling from Japan, who do make decent
guitars. There are 4 at the site – an inexpensive full size
nylon guitar, a cutaway steel string (I was surprised how easy
it is to play unlike many steel strings I’ve seen), a 3/4 size
kid’s classic guitar and a half-size kid’s classic guitar.
These are just beginner student quality at a low price range. I
don’t recommend just getting any guitar off the Internet. One
of my students, Rhonda, bought a cheap guitar and it buzzed
terrible. These don’t buzz.. I think the best option is going to
a music store and trying out several instruments.
If you can afford more, I really like some of the higher end
Esteve’s for classical or Taylors for acoustic steel strings,
around $900.
There is also a ‘Baby Taylor.’ I think it’s around $850. One of
my students bought one and she just loved it. It’s a smaller
instrument perfect for a shorter adult.
These new guitars at the site are just a real basic decent
student guitar. A good place to start without making a large
investment.
You can see the student guitars here:

3) Kid’s Lesson…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you remember a few months ago I was trying to describe how to
help little kids play the guitar? On the page about the new
DVD’s there’s a 3 minute video showing an excerpt of lesson
one.
I recommend watching it, regardless if you have an interest in
the program. You can get some ideas of how to help little kids
play.

5) In Closing….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Easter, or Resurrection Day as some prefer to call it, just
around the corner, it’s good to remember that the tomb is
EMPTY.
In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul points out that without the
resurrection, our faith is futile and we would still be in our
sin. Paul goes on to say that He, Jesus, has indeed been
raised from the dead! On one of the Radio Stations I was
listening to yesterday a pastor pointed out that Easter was
actually celebrated every Sunday in the early church, not just
once a year.
HE IS RISEN!
Worship Him with all your heart, because He loves you with all of His!
Blessings in HIM,
Jean Welles

I was wondering about your guitar packages for children. I have 2 eleven year old twin boys that would like to give this a try. A year or so ago, you had nylon string guitars separately and also as a package deal, but I’m not able to find that here this time. Also, I’m not sure as to what size these boys would need. If you can point me in the right direction here, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much. Terri Walton
