"He's Got the Whole World In His Hands"

If you have children, you should know this song. If you've been a child, you should know this song. My son loves this song. He finally learned this song on guitar! He's actually picking up the guitar very quickly. We sit down for about 20 minutes each night and practice. He asks me, I don't ask him. I would secretly love for Aaron to pick up favorites; such as golf, photography, guitar, or football; but I will never put pressure on him to do any of those things. He's his own person, and whatever he wants to do or be in this life is fine with me. However, I was secretly grinning from ear to ear when he looked at me one day and said, "daddy, teach me guitar."

Besides just learning the various chords, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" is the first real song he can play from beginning to end. Last night before bed-time, he picked his guitar up and said, "listen to this." Yes, he had a couple mistakes, but he did very well in his first solo attempt. Like all young learners, he would play a chord, pause to get his fingers set right, and then play another chord, but that's the first step. For those of you wondering, no, I'm not going to make a Tyler Family Experience. I promise that nothing will come from me when it comes to Aaron and music. He's seven. He's not Mozart. He's Aaron, and that will always be enough.
