Kid Guitars

Throughout history, the most beloved musicians have not always been the most technically proficient. In fact, when they started playing rock songs in the early 1960s, the Kinks and the Who grabbed listeners’ attention not with their musical chops but rather with their raw energy. Such artists as Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Black Sabbath would continue in that tradition, and all of these acts had one major theme in common.

All of them relied heavily on the use of power chords – chords that lack a third degree and are therefore neither minor nor major. By mastering a few power chords, children can learn basic rock songs on their kids guitars and have a solid foundation for more challenging music to come. The idea is not to bite off more than one can chew. Instead, encourage children to develop musically at their own pace.
