Beginner Guitar Lessons for Kids Book with Online Video & Audio Access by Jay Wamsted transforms absolute beginners into young guitarists. This step by step course is specifically designed for elementary school-aged children (ages 5-10) and quickly teaches students to play songs they will know and love.
Lessons begin with simplified chord shapes (G, C, G7, D) that are easier for younger students with smaller hands. Song arrangements and strum patterns are carefully selected to help children have early success playing the guitar, preventing frustration and instrument abandonment.
The next section of the book teaches the same songs but with full chord shapes - perfect for either beginners with larger hands or students ready to expand their playing. This comprehensive learning resource includes audio tracks that allow children to hear each song played from a rhythm and technique standpoint, showing the guitar, both hands, and sheet music simultaneously.
Songlist includes popular children's favorites:
He's Got the Whole World, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Wheels on the Bus, Row Row Row Your Boat, Hush Little Baby, Rain Rain Go Away, Hokey Pokey, If You're Happy and You Know It, Itsy Bitsy Spider, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Oh When the Saints, Twinkle Twinkle Little Sta
