Kid Guitars

Before they can read words, sentences, paragraphs and novels, kids must learn their ABCs. By developing a solid foundation in the basics – figuring out how to identify, write and say each letter of the alphabet – kids are provided with a template for literacy. A similar approach can be used to teach them how to play childrens electric guitars. Try breaking down the lessons to their most basic component.

Just as letters are the building blocks of words, guitar chords are the most basic unit of a popular rock song. A great rhythm guitar player often learns by aping a chord chart, then working on transitional movements between the chords. Encourage your children to build songs from scratch using the chords they have learned, but remember to keep them on track with traditional lessons as well.
