Significant difference in sound and would the neck of a child’s guitar actually be much smaller?
rock on

I have an acoustic guitar already and started lessons on it.
I learnt the cords with ease however my fingers are so horribly inflexible due to past injuries. I was thinking I might trade my guitar in for a child’s one.


As an experienced guitar teacher, I can help you with information and advice.

Yes, "children's" guitars are smaller. Typically they are called "three-quarter" size and are about 75 % the size of standard guitars.

Parenting on the Plateau: Kids in the City

Recently, I was talking to a close friend with children of similar age.  As we were talking about new and fun things to do with the kids, the topic of taking them to Seattle came up.

She lamented that she would take them to the city if it wasn’t so hard. My friend attributed it to not knowing city happenings, plus the overwhelming idea of packing up half the house for a day trip with two kids under age 6.

It makes me sad that any mom might think exposing their kids to downtown Seattle has to be this hard. I love the city and relish the chance to bring my little ones there to experience the excitement that a major city entails.

Here’s my attempt at demystifying the city trip with kids and breaking the myth that it has to be hard to enjoy:

Cost: A major factor in any family when considering a day long outing, but seeing the city can be done on nearly any budget. Whether you spring for tickets to Riding the Ducks or not is going to increase your spend for sure, but that’s not all there is to do in town.

Roger Daltrey

Early years

Roger Harry Daltrey was born in the Hammersmith area of London, but was raised in Acton, the same working class suburban neighborhood that produced fellow Who members Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He was one of three children born to parents Irene and Harry Daltrey, and grew up with two sisters, Gillian and Carol. Harry Daltrey worked for a water closet manufacturer, and Irene Daltrey was told she would be unable to have children because of losing a kidney in 1937. Nevertheless, she went into labour during a World War II air raid and gave birth to her son at the nearby Hammersmith Hospital, West London. At the age of three, the young Roger swallowed a rusty nail which had to be surgically removed, leaving a visible scar. At the age of five, the rust from the nail caused an ulcer in his stomach which required him to be hospitalised.

Daltrey attended Victoria Primary School and then Acton County Grammar School for boys along with Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He showed academic promise in the English state school system, ranking at the top of his class on the eleven plus examination that led to his enrollment at the Acton County Grammar School. His parents hoped he would eventually continue on to study at the university, but Daltrey turned out to be a self-described “school rebel” and developed a dedicated interest in the emerging rock and roll music scene instead....

Learn to Play Bass Guitar | svccwa.org

How many strings does a guitar have? The most popular response would probably be six. That is because, when asked, many people envision the six string acoustic or electric guitar. There are, however, guitars that have four, seven, eight, ten, eleven, twelve, and eighteen strings.

Guitars have been a part of the music scene for a long time. The ancestry of the guitar actually goes back about four thousand years. The electric guitar was introduced in the 1930s, and the electric bass guitar had its debut in the 1950s. That pretty much makes the electric bass guitar one of the newer kids on the block.

The role of the bass guitar has changed since its inception back in the 1950s. The bass guitar was introduced to replace the “double bass” or “upright bass” as the bass instrument in the rhythm section of the bands of that era. Its place in modern bands is no longer just a supporting role. Bass players today must be able to play in time, outline the harmony and lay down a beat.
