And again, I'm not suggesting that one can't use that approach, but I *am*
pointing out that that approach works far less of the time than you think.
The things that they like are 90% of the time beyond their reach. For
example, I've got a kid who wants to learn Creed tunes. I taught him the
chords to "With Arms Wide Open", which worked. However, he now wants to

Does he know basic chords and barre chords and you know basic stuff?

learn more complicated, heavier tunes by Creed, which is turning out to be
too difficult and frustrating for him, with the tuning down, the
techniques, and I am having difficulty keeping him focused. He's taken
over the lesson, making the decisions on what we're going to learn now,
and he's not learning anything of any musical value, just learning how to
play a tune that he can't handle.

Well sounds like someone in authority should make that situation
right. But it all depends on if he knows the guitar basics or not. Or
is the problem that you are trying to teach him to read music and
he is not into it?
