Education/Credentials I have 20 years experience, some electrical college experience. Studied Law, philosophy, and theology.
Awards and Honors well, too many to listm and none worth much more than a paperweight to hold down the ones that are on paper.
I also recommend the following websites: http://guitarnoise.com <-Lots of great beginner songs, with sound clips that will get him playing some songs he recognizes right away.. http://folkofthewood.com <-some great lessons on how to hold the guitar, tuning,scales,and also some songs to learn..
Both of those should keep him busy for a while... It is a good idea to get the book to, it makes it nice, because you can reference it whenever/wherever you want..
