[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him guitar lessons and start looking into colleges with great schools of music.[/quote]

He needs to do his homework to get into college.[/quote]

Why does he have to go to college?

He should graduate high school, but if he really wants to pursue music, he doesn’t need a college degree.[/quote]

An educated musician is a better musician.  Plus, he'll almost certainly will need conservatory studies at some point.   [/quote]

lol what?! Again, unless he’s going into jazz or classical, conservatories aren’t at all a thing.

To the PP who asked which rock musicians don’t have intense musical training: the ones who do are the exception.

Only one member of Foo Fighters has intense musical training and Dave Grohl always sorta pokes fun at him when they do band intros. It’s their keyboardist Rami. Dave says “oh yeah Rami knows music theory and all that fancy s***.”

If this kid wants to play rock, basic chord theory and pentatonic scales help, but he can get that with some lessons or online during high school.

Music school for college is 100% unnecessary and again — conservatories teach classical and maybe jazz. No other genres that I’m aware of and certainly not rock.[/quote]
