Isn’t starting out with easy songs good? There’s a reason why every guitarist knows to play Wonderwall. I think it’s just a consequence of teaching that you don’t do complex stuff. The students that are able to do complex stuff probably teach themselves at that point.
It actually is just the way you described it. But one of my students is technically far beyond most others her age - and still demands playing shitty pop music. Sometimes I really want to make her angry (she’s heavy on the spectrum), just so she can unleash her full potential. Have fun with other genres. Like, idk, play a song of my late friend’s band Static-X. :D
I know she could do it, but she prefers not to. I am not shoving or pushing her. She does what she feels fine with.
So, I guess more Swift, more Lady Gaga, more Billie Eilish… ;D

And this is how I found out Wayne Static died, over a decade after the fact.
I am so sorry, he was a very dear friend of mine.
If you want to, we can talk about him via PM.
