Man, that's a great pic - it will come back in 20 years when he's on a board like this in the 'post a pic of your first guitar' thread. :)
My little fella is 2, and plays the ukelele and my 335 lap-style like Jeff Healey.
Can't start em young enough. (He's actually pretty nifty with a slide...)

I hadn't even noticed that! I thought I heard some higher order harmonic content in there when he was wailing away. The kid's going to give Stanely Jordan a run for his money. :D

Does the pick sticking through the strings provide some interesting overtones, or is it more for muting?

In any case--interesting style choice.

The foot in the air is classic.

Great picture, and one that will likely be shown at family gatherings (maybe at his wedding) for years to come.
