I strummed around a bit 50 years ago, played the violin and Ukelele. Always loved music, but now want my youngster to start - he is 2 years old.
I recall issues with the guitar - Neck too wide for my fingers, steel strings caused havoc with fingertips etc. finger stretch etc.. So have bought a 1/2 sized nondescript aucoustic with a fair tone. The little one will be happy initially to make noise then progress to simple strumming, but feel it only fair to be able to play simple tunes for him first!

If I can exercise my fingers back again, what's the quickest way to harden up the fingertips?

Thanks for the great site.
