neutral Jim Tucker (X) : "of" guitar (they'll be "on" guitar when they join a band!)// "On" is simply not the way to say it. One is a student *of* something."En" is probably shorthand for "in the field of" - which also works in E.

I see your point, Jim, but the original text in Spanish says "en guitarra" y no "de guitarra".....and anyway they are "in" a band, or learning to be in one. You´re entitled to your opinion, Jim, so thanks anyway.
neutral CCW : I agree with Jim. In Eng you're definitely a student "of" something, just as in Spa you're a "estudiante de algo"... "en guitarra" is not good Spanish.
