That is what my instructor is doing with my son. He is taking him through the Hal Leonard book and letting him pick a song he likes too. Right now, he wants to do Weezer's Buddy Holly . We just have to find some music for him. I like that particular Weezer album, so it will be fun for us to learn together.
I have been stuck in my progress through my instructor, so I have been thinking about a response to this thread for myself. I need to still think it through, though.
