6 years old too young for guitar lessons?
My 6 year old desperatley wants a guitar (like her daddy) and lessons. We're all for it, but I wonder if she is physically capable at this age (hands/fingers). A lot of guitar instructors I've found online require a minimum age of 8 years. Let me know if you've know if kids starting this young, and/or if any physical/ mental learning struggles occured.
Firstly buy her a guitar, you can get good half size ones for kids, you can buy them with plastic strings so they are gentler on young fingers. The sound obviously is not as good but im sure your daughter wont notice this yet. I wouldnt worry too much about lessons just yet, let her strum along with daddy..this will make her feel comfortable with the guitar and build up confidence for when she has proper lessons. most of all if she does start having lessons dont push her to hard, young children go through phazes with their likes and dislikes and hobbies, she may have 2 lessons and decide she hates it. Try a couple of different teachers until you find one she likes, she will learn alot faster and be more confident if she has a rappour with her teacher. I believe that children should not be pushed to enter contests or do music exams etc unless they want to. Encourage her but dont push her, give lots of praise even when she plays badly, it is all about confidence and practice. Let her start off playing alongside daddy as not only will this build up their relationship but she will be more confident with him than with a stranger.

How to Stay Concentrated When Following Online Guitar Lessons for Novices
Going it alone with studying the guitar is rewarding, saves you the money you'd otherwise spend on a teacher and doesn't tie you down to a timescale set by someone else.
As long as you can remain concentrated that is. We don't all have the self discipline to follow a self study course all the way through and may even be better off going to a teacher who sees our progression each week and keeps us on track.
I sure enough feel it tough enough and so I've come up with three sure fire ways to keep up that momentum and stay driven. They work well for me and if you need to learn to play guitar and keep some money in your pocket then read on:
1. Present yourself timescales and deadlines to work to. For example order yourself that you intend to be able to play that song all the way through, or the main verse, or the chorus, or that solo by the end of the week. Don't beat yourself up if you can't fulfill the deadline but still give yourself a reason to exercise a particular amount every day until this goal is met - then move onto another.
2. Practice your musical scales, arpeggios, chord progressions and exercises first then play the song you're on afterward followed by some messing about. It can get dull practicing those all fundamental exercises and very tempting to just skip them and go onto the fun part. Treat them like the green veggies you never wanted to eat up as a kid but had to if you wanted some of that nice sweet later on.
3. Follow your guitar heroes on video sites like Youtube, get day by day inspiration and also observe the song you're exercising on being played. It can get isolated and demoralizing when you're evolving your skills so watch your guitar idols and remember that they were where you are now and got to where they are by continuing on.
These 3 methods are what keep me focused and building up my guitar skills when I could quite easily just stop exercising those tedious musical scales and go and do something more fun. A programme and some direction will get you through the tough times and see you playing like a pro possibly even faster than if you had paid out for a teacher.
Keep your eye on the prize, set true to life goals, stay inspired and you will get there.
