Hi teacher guys,

We're thinking of giving my nephew a guitar and lessons for his 6th birthday and I have a few questions.

1/2 scale guitars seem to be useless toys, will a 3/4 scale strat be small enough?

What should we be asking prospective teachers to know they are suited to teach a 6 year old?

Any recommendations on things we should be looking at?

little background: My brother (his dad) is a bassist and my nephew is always playing on his little toy guitar and of course he is a mini-god at Guitar Hero.

The interest is certainly there and his dad will keep up the practice and add a bass beat.
