Wilson makes remarkable progress!

My old guitar has only four strings intact, but Wilson is in the kitchen strumming away happily, the Bert Weedon book propped up in front of him. Maybe the low string-count makes it easier to play for a beginner -- a bit more like a ukulele, perhaps. 

I asked W how he was getting on, and he said his claws were great for finger-picking styles, but made it very difficult to fret the strings. 

Personally I think it's remarkable that an anteater can get any kind of tune out of a guitar, so I told him I thought he was doing really well and to keep practicing.
