Easy Guitar Lessons for Kids + Video: Beginner Guitar for Children and Teens with 30 Songs. First Book Step by Step (+ Free Audio)

My son learned to play from this book and he was able to learn to play all the songs. And he wanted to continue learning to play the guitar, learning new skills.This book has a good selection of songs, a lot of simple exercises to practice playing techniques.

This book is great! Our 7 year old is using this to start the basics. Shes never picked up a gutair before and now she can hold it correctly and knows all of the parts of the guitar

I like a lot about this book but there are a few deal-breakers for me recommending it to my students. First off, I'm primarily a nylon-string player and he pans them as a "narrowly-focused guitar... mainly plays classical music, romances and flamenco." He goes on to say that steel-string "acoustics can play any song, from classical music to rock, blues and jazz." It's a shame he had to add this, IMO. I try not to make any distinctions with my kiddos and find playability easiest with nylon strings, electric, then acoustic. While I'm fan of most of his technical advice(a lot of which seems in the classical vein) he at some point tells the student to rest the right wrist on the bridge. No thanks... I do like his versions of easy strumming songs and his other advice on guitar and practice. I should note there is no sign of conventional music staff though the song strumming patterns have beams for eight notes on the upbeats.

A little confusing for my daughter

I bought this for my Grandson. It is very Step by step and yet fully comprehensive!

Should be cords or finger picking not both

Bouth this for grandkids. They are easily learning to play with this. Fun to watch them teach themselves with this easy to read and follow book.

10 year old granddaughter just beginning to play guitar. This book helped her take basic chords and play songs. Has lots of easy songs.

My boy likes this. Great for a beginner kid.

Bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter. Hope she can learn to play her guitar enough with this to not drive her parents insane

I bought this book for myself and my children. I can play the guitar a little, but not with the help of notes. My children are also musical, they attend a music school and learn to play the piano and cello. So far, none of my children play a guitar, but I want to fix it soon, as the guitar is my favorite musical instrument. The book is divided into two large chapters: 1) learning and 2) a collection of songs. Everything is explained in an interesting and accessible way, including chords, parts of the guitar, how to keep your fingers on the fretboard and how to hold the guitar itself while playing, and much more. I already know that it is important to hold the guitar correctly so as not to hurt the back later. In the first chapter - everything a beginner needs to know, and in the second - practice, songs with notes. I only play my own songs, but soon I can play other people's as well. I have been wanting to improve my guitar playing for many years, but so far I have done almost nothing for that. This is partly due to my busyness, as well as my laziness, and also due to the fact that until now I have not come across a guitar self-instruction book that would motivate me to study. Although the book is for children and teenagers, but it will be useful for adults as well, especially for people like me. At the end there is an interesting bonus with a QR code. For me, playing a guitar is more than just a hobby. It is also personal development for me and my children. In addition, the guitar is a convenient small instrument that we can take with us and which can accompany us through life, also support us in sad and happy moments of life. It is also easy to learn to play and easy to compose songs with.

Love it

Very useful
