My 14 yr old son started a year ago. He plays 2-3 hours a day and loves it. He is almost all electric and John Walker is spot on about the minor pentatonic scale.
Acoustic is good for technique. Electric is good for motivation.
After 3 months, your son should be able to knock out some basic blues / rock standards. If not, his motivation will decrease. Guitar is about emotion for me. Strumming chords on a flattop never did it for me, but I am in the minority on this.
My advise, get your son to play some songs he likes as a performance. That really motivated my son.
Have fun!
