Your child can be playing real songs in weeks — without reading a single note.
Most kids quit guitar in the same place: sheet music. This book skips it. Your child learns from photos, diagrams, and video examples, and starts playing actual songs early on. Notation can come later, if they want to go further.
More than 34,400 copies sold worldwide.
Written for complete beginners — and for parents who don't play either.
If you don't know anything about music, you won't need to. Every step is explained from zero, with photos showing exactly where each finger goes. Many parents end up learning alongside their child.
If you already play a little, the step-by-step plan gives you a ready-made curriculum — so you can teach instead of improvising.
