My daughter has decided she wants to learn to play the guitar.  She has dreams of being a rock and roll star one day.  I am not too crazy about that dream of hers, but I am all for her learning to play guitar.  We bought an inexpensive guitar for her to learn on and a few video tapes.  She has too much going on right now to enroll her in lessons, but she needs some help learning the scales.  I went online and found a guitar scales lesson that is helping her out a lot.  I think she is doing great.
