Hi all,
My name is Trish and I'll be learning to play the electric guitar. I'll be getting a Washburn X8 in a couple of days. My 12-year-old son is autistic and the docs all say that a hobby would be good for him...this is what he chose, so we'll be learning together. I'm so excited!

Hi Trish - welcome to the forum and to learning the guitar. You'll get as much help as you want here - and even more. Will you also be taking lessons with a local teacher?

And I'm sure I'll need all the help I can get. LOL I won't be taking lessons - not in the budget right now. But the principal at my sons' school plays and he'll be giving Dakota (my son) some lessons during school.

Hi Trish
Welcome! Music is a wonderful bonding agent, and it's teriffic that you can share the experience with your son in the process.

Welcome to the forum Trish  and I wish you and Dakota all the best with your learning
You'll find lots of help here at the forum and it's great to have the backup of the principal too

Wouldn't even think about starting something and not following through with it. I played clarinet in junior high and high school, so I have at least some musical background going into this new venture.
