My nephew Joel waits while Joseph gets his time with their teacher Jeff Hickey-who also was David's teacher. Jayson is on the other side of the pic-he just had his electric guitar lesson.

All three boys (Joseph, and his cousins, Jayson and Joel) are taking guitar lessons, but they are on three completely different tracks:

Joel is learning to play fingerstyle much in the same way David was taught, 

Joseph is learning the basics of strumming and flatpicking and 

Jayson is learning electric guitar.  

They all practice, but they play a LOT, and often, just because they truly enjoy it.

It is a lot of fun when the brothers and cousins get together and play music. If you'd like to get a taste of it, go to www.nontoxicteencenter.com/blog.html where you'll get to see them in action as part of Non-Toxic's house band.
