As someone who also worked in a basement psych ward, don't leave the space you're in. There's more in that basement that you have ever imagined. Good luck, you're gonna need it!

You're right, you would. Don't ever try it!

Only you can fix this. Good luck, I wouldn't change places with you for anything. I'm completely spooked out.

Of course.

Yes he already loves them. Thanks for thinking of him.

Thank you so much.

Omg thank you so much. Currently downloading.

No, please, I loved them!

Yes, I have thought about it and consulted lots of people, some professional, some not. What I have taken away from numerous conversations is the fear of ruining it for him. I have been told that if he starts too early, it might take the enjoyment out of it. This child can mimic the chords to all his favorite songs now! It's unbelievable. His ADHD and anxiety could pose a problem, but he wants this BAD. I do think that it takes a very special person to teach a child like this, and they are not a dime a dozen. And he just cannot learn from a screen. He's a tactile kid. I'd love to find someone who would come to my home, or I'll bring him to them. It would be so much more impactful to see the teacher in person. Then, I'd do what the musician says. This is something I can afford to do, I've been saving for lessons since he was 3! Lessons and a Fender Stratocaster!

Omg reading that was like a playlist from my life. I love these bands! Thanks.

I loved REM! Can't wait for him to hear them and Sonic Youth.

I will definitely keep Fugazi for myself, cuz I don't know their music and would like to

O gawd, he's going out for Halloween as Alice Cooper this year! He went as Freddy Mercury last year, complete with yellow leather jacket, and went as Michael Jackson before that. He is a musician every Halloween!

Thanks, another band I almost forgot about.

I will try Fugazi, maybe for myself!

I think he would really like Judas Priest, my brother loved them. Thanks for the ZZ Top suggestion, I think he will really like them.

Yes, he definitely likes Pink Floyd. I will get that live album, thanks.

Thanks so much. Will definitely look into Queensryche, as he loves the Who's Tommy, and Bowie's Ziggy stardust and Alladinsane. I do have to be careful with explicit lyrics. He loves GnR, Metallica, Ozzy and AC/DC.

Welp, holy crap, I forgot all about Rush.

Yup knows Bon Jovi, has a few of their albums, and just discovered Def Leppard. I'm happy for him.

Yes, he has the Cars, Iron Maiden, and Clapton. I will look up Rory Gallagher, and we all know Thin Lizzy! Thank you so much, you really have no idea how much you've helped!

Thanks so much. They sound right up his alley, and I do appreciate that you thought of the sex, drugs and violence.

Yes he does have some Aerosmith recordings. I had to tell him that he can no longer sing "Dude Looks Like a Lady" at the top of his lungs as he loves to sing!

O thank you so much, am looking them up now!
