Taking A Path To Maturity Via Guitars
Much as we want out kids to grow up and become responsible, somehow we're always a bit surprised when they actually behave in a mature fashion.
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.
By the time school rolled around again in the fall, our son's diligence had so impressed his father that dear old Dad decided the boy deserved his own guitar (he'd been borrowing one from his teacher). Knowing nothing about guitars, Dad began perusing auction sites and music vendors online looking for a good electric guitar for sale. Unfortunately, not only did Dad not know a good guitar when he saw one, most of the ads he found wanted a small fortune for a whole guitar kit.
Not wanting to get our youngsters hopes up, we kept quiet about the guitar search. Somehow, though, he overheard us discussing the topic one night after dinner. (Why is it that teen-agers who can never hear you calling them to help with a household chore suddenly develop sonar when a subject that concerns them comes up?) Despite the uncertainty of our acquisition, our son was suddenly over the moon about the prospect of getting his own guitar.
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.
Our son's face became very solemn at the word 'rock.' Then he rather sheepishly told his parents that he'd been studying classical guitar, not rock 'n roll. He didn't want the kind of flat-backed electric 'axes' we knew from our younger days. He wanted something for classical music, such as a takamine acoustic electric guitar.
Then after a moment, he added we also might consider the 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.
Yes, friends, there's still a generation gap, and we fell right into it. See you when we climb back out.
