I will refer her to a good instructor once she gets a good start and before I teach her bad habits.
I'd like her to get a solid background in theory as she progresses and I am not geared up for that...................but at least I can get her out of the starter's gate before I send her to an instructor.
This could be fun.
All right! There's nothing better than getting a youngster started on the journey...
Planky, don't sell yourself short, man. You've got a ton of gigging experience under your belt, and can pass that on. You can show a concept in theory, then apply the theory to songs that you've played. That makes it fun.
Right off the bat, she will probably ask a question related to theory that you may not know. That's cool, because you can use it to expand your own playing knowledge!
I'll bet that this is going to be a lot of fun... Keep posting about how it goes!
