Good point Beerts,
As passionate as I am about music, there are others who are too, whom may also be called. My question is at what point do you step back. See, I believe like other posters here, that sometimes you can create a monster. Especially in a lead guitar role, and moreso if it's a 14 year old.

I am just now teaching them scales but they do not know how to use them. They are not afraid of trying and will definately crank it up to show their new learnings which is not good yet and they have a ways to go. If I let them do it, they will eventually learn and improve, but Sunday mornings is not a good training ground.

I am concerned that as long as I am in this role, I will hinder their growth. My desire is to help them, not hold them back which is why I am seeking advise from others whom may have been in my shoes, or similar.
