My Daughter and "Her" Guitars...

gls500 · October 5th, 2005, 03:31 PM

The indoctrination has begun. She now LOVES my guitars and grins from ear to ear everytime I pick one up

(click for bigger versions)

She'll be playing herself in no time :)

Aw man you're killing me, the t-shirt, it's just too much!

gls500 · October 5th, 2005, 03:36 PM

Purchased by my wife from the TDPRI Gear Shoppe, no less!

She knows I'm obsessed :D

Now, THAT'S the right idea !!

Awwe, how cute :P Is that the Seymour Duncan sig. Esquire in front of the fireplace?

Dana · October 5th, 2005, 03:59 PM

What's she strumming? A 52RI?

gls500 · October 5th, 2005, 04:02 PM

All four guitars are partscasters.

The one she's strumming is this one:

Very cute! Be proud. I just love little kids... Awesome!

You sir, are a lucky man! What a beautiful little girl! Nice gutiars also!

Isn't it just amazing when they discover music? From the smile on her face, she loves it!

When my first grandson was born, whenever he was fuzzy, I would play the Gordon Lightfoot song, "Beautiful". As soon as I hit that first major 7th chord, he would melt! He's 5 now and whenever he hears a maj 7th chord, he stops dead in his tracks! Pretty funny.

Now, I have three grandsons who love to play papas guitars. They know which ones they can touch and which ones not to. The little ones are 2 and 3 and each one treats the guitar with great respect.

I just love pictures like that. Thanks for posting.

when she becomes a teenager, she'll rebel and bring home an SG with a Marshall. :D

Rowdy Time · October 5th, 2005, 08:13 PM

and you all thought that 8 yr old was a good player......

Falstaff · October 5th, 2005, 08:15 PM

Great shot! I think I'll pick up a shirt like that for my son.

PraiseCaster · October 5th, 2005, 08:30 PM

There's a kid in those pictures?

KIDDING!

That is an adorable little girl you got there!

Now bein raised on a diet of great parts casters like that, you'll never get away with given her Squier as her first guitar! Your gonna have to either ante up for a cool partscaster (just like daddy's), or pop some good coin for a brand new 52RI. Anything less would be child abuse!!

genelovesjez · October 6th, 2005, 12:23 AM

Great pics - great gear and a gorgeous little daughter!

It doesn't get much better than that.

Hmmmm.... I better give her a good "talking-to" now to nip this one in the bud.

:D

Thanks for the comments everyone. She's really great, and makes my day every day.

thanks for the joke of the week

gls, your little girl is just adorable. That T-shirt is just awesome!

FraKo · October 6th, 2005, 10:26 AM

I've got a lot of photos with my son wearing the same T-shirt and (guess what?) my tele's

that's the right age to start playing the tele

Dana · October 6th, 2005, 11:34 AM

She has good taste. I would have picked the Butterscotch Blonde to strum too.

Ben Harmless · October 6th, 2005, 12:30 PM

I love it!

The last one is my fave. She looks like she just got done playing a blistering solo.

Careful not to take too many pictures of her. She might forget to play the guitar and become a singer!

Totally! She's just letting that last open note ring.

Looks to me like she's playing it lap steel style. 8)

Aww.. what a cutie. I can see the dexterity in fingers already in the third picture. ;)

" Daddy. Check this out! I've just been playing these Thumbs Carlyle and Jeff Healey licks..."

Cute!

Here's one of my daughter. Nothing funnier than to see her sitting on the throne with the Mus. Friends catalog!
She's almost 4 now and has asked for a red Squier strat for Christmas. She's been singing (in tune) since 9 months old and thinks everyone's parents play music. When she was 2 she was playing at the playground with another girl (who's parents were there). The father left to go to work and my daughter turned to the little girl and said, "where's your daddy's guitar?" You gotta love them! All the best of everything to your daughter.
