FROM THE AUTHOR

Welcome to Learn Easy Guitar For Kids.

This book will introduce your child to the

guitar: how to play chords, how to strum

chords and play some well known nursery

rhymes and songs.

I have said on the front cover “for kids of all

ages” as I think this book would act as a gentle introduction for

anyone who is interested in playing guitar, regardless of how old

they are.

The book consists of three parts.

In part one, I discuss tuning, string names, sitting position and other

topics that need to be considered early on. All this information is

important, especially if you have not yet purchased a guitar.

In part two, I introduce simplified chords which are quickly used to

play evergreen nursery rhymes that most people will know.

In part three, some of the previous songs are used as well as new

songs that will teach you how to play melodies.

Finally, I would really encourage you to download the pack that I’ve

created for this book. The download will bring the music and the

songs to life and help the beginner make fast progress. Experience

tells me that this is always preferable to working from the book alone.
