The bar he needed to above for worst musical artist ever was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8
He failed.
You're insane. That video's full of awesome and win, and the music's tolerable. If nephew improved his music by 9000%, he still wouldn't be in eyesight of that :^D
Wanting to try new things, jumping into things, impulsive, lack of planning, ect are all kind of traits of a certain personality type. He's not necessarily 'bad' because of those things. He may end up being one hell of an abstract-thinking problem-solver.
Basically, I see you kinda describing me as a kid, although I don't think I was too 'delusional' over what I was or was not good at. That also probably psychologically fucked me up, though ('invalidating environment' and such). So don't be too hard on him if he's a) trying to learn something without being forced and b) isn't hurting anyone.
How old are we talking here, anyway?
He's 19. Not sure if he'll make 20 the way he lives.
nothing you can do. life will give him a wake up call soon.
... He's one of those people that has natural rhythm and can pick up a lot of instruments easily.
The problem is, he doesn't like structure and he just dives into things. You can't play along with him on guitar because he can't keep time. Same with drums. He can play keyboards but has no idea which notes are where. He just does his own thing because it's easier.
He'll just have to learn on his own.
That faith he has in himself is a good thing.
I would be honest with how you feel about his work, but I would also encourage him to keep going if that's really what he wants. Tell him he can't just ask for a record deal though. He's got to get out there and do it live. The real world will let him know what's up.
You, as a teacher, obviously have a lot to learn if you can't see the contradiction in your own words.
