My First Guitar - Learn To Play: Kids

Makes learning guitar easy and enjoyable

I am a private music instructor, and I bought three of the top recommended books for teaching very young children guitar, as I had two 6 year olds sign up in a week. This book won as being the simplest and easiest. It teaches simplified chords using the top 4 strings. It starts with very silly limericks that you can make up a melody for, then goes on to classic kids songs everyone knows, a strong point that many beginner books lack.Some of these reviews are pretty silly- someone said "the diagrams are too complicated," the chord diagrams are classic if you know how to read them. I taught one 6 year old how to read them and the next week I asked her if she could figure out how to play the next chord and she did. People who expect their 7 year old to learn to play with no guidance besides a book may have unrealistic expectations!Great book overall!

This was purchased as a gift for my niece when she was wanting to start learning guitar. I got it and a beginner song book and gave them to her for Christmas. She was about to start lessons in January. It was a great supplemental book for her along with what her teacher used. Her dad said she loved it!

My grandson was thrilled. Easy to follow.
