Electric Guitar

• Where did the guitar come from? Who put it there? Who does it belong to?
• Is this electric guitar playing music? Can it?
• Are the birds flying away from or towards the guitar?
• What is the man doing? What’s he holding? (A plectrum.)
• Why is the plectrum so large? Where did he get it from?
• Does he know how to play the guitar?
• What do you think he’s going to do? What song might he play?
• What song would you play?
• Which of these two songs best fits this picture? Why? Feeling Good vs. Changes (Youtube links – play audio only – share the lyrics with children).
• Do all power lines have an instrument at the end?
• Think of other examples where instruments could be found in unexpected places.
