Just worth noting that the standard approach of starting off on a nylon-strung classical guitar is a bit questionable.

I'm sure this is similar to many instruments. When I was at school I quite fancied playing sax (Born to Run inspired I think), but the route to this was through years of clarinet / school orchestra / uninspiring classical stuff which killed my interest eventually.

I can easily imagine how you could make a fun lesson for a kid with an electric guitar and a few pedals / interesting backing tracks.

Very true! I think the situation has improved hugely now as also evidenced by things like the pBone/pTrumpet. It's much easier for kids to get hold of an instrument that works for them ergonomically and lets them play more of the type of music that they want.
