Taking A Path To Maturity Via Guitars

Pardon us while we climb out of this generation gap we fell into recently. It may take us a while – there’s nothing that can make you feel so old as realizing your youngest child has come to a point of mature judgment in life. Here’s how it happened to us.

Our youngest son, who’s 15, has been surprising us all year. First, back in January, he signed up for a music class in guitar at school. We confess we were tempted at first to add extra insulation to his bedroom and pretend it was his new recording studio, but we managed to restrain ourselves. Then our son surprised by showing a heretofore unsuspected aptitude for playing the guitar. We can only surmise that his newfound talent spurred him to keep up with daily music exercises, running up and down scales on the guitar strings as if they were the old playset in the backyard.

He kept practicing throughout the summer on an old guitar he borrowed from his teacher. One day after he finished his rehearsal, he mentioned casually that he might progress to an electric guitar in the fall. His father took the hint and started checking out online music stores and even auction sites for ads offering an electric guitar for sale. Unhappily for our limited family budget, even the sale prices on guitars came close to what we could afford.

In order to avoid disappointing our teen-ager, we stayed mum about the Great Guitar Quest. What we didn’t count on was that although he never heard his parents when they called him to do a chore, his super-hearing kicked just as we were discussing how to acquire a guitar for him. This knowledge set off a teen-age version of the ecstatic dance done by a certain cartoon beagle when his round-headed master brings out a full supper dish.

Once we got our son to calm down reasonably, we decided it was the better part of valor to consult with him about the purchase. Dad explained that because a guitar was a big investment, involving both the instrument and an amplifier, our son would have to meet certain expectations. He had to keep up with his lessons and his practice. He had to keep up with his chores and his schoolwork. And under no circumstances was he to loan his guitar to any of his friends.

Then Dad asked what kind of rock guitar our son wanted, with the understanding that it might be a while before we could get up the cost. That’s the point at which we got the shock.

A sober countenance quickly overcame the ecstasy on our son’s face. Although we’re sure he thought his parents were utterly clueless, our teen explained patiently that he was learning to play classical guitar, not rock ‘n roll. He wanted something that would serve that purpose, such as a takamine acoustic electric guitar

Then he said, no, wait, maybe it should be an ibanez acoustic electric guitar.

You should have seen the look on our faces. We expected our son was aiming to be the next great rock guitarist, and instead he’s headed for classical music. He decided for himself.

That’s how we fell into this canyon of the ages. Now that we’re out, we know our family has reached a new plateau – accompanied by guitar music, no less.
