Easy Guitar Lessons for Kids + Video: Beginner Guitar for Children and Teens with 30 Songs. First Book Step by Step (+ Free Audio)

Your child can play their first guitar melody in the very first lesson.

Easy Guitar Lessons for Kids is a step-by-step beginner guitar course designed to help children start making real music from the very beginning — without needing to read sheet music first.

The Quick Start begins with just one string, one left-hand finger, and one right-hand finger, so your child can play simplified melodies — including Beethoven — before moving on to chords.

Then the book gradually builds the skills needed to play songs independently: posture, hand position, fingerpicking, chord changes, strumming, rhythm, and more.

PLAY FIRST — THEN BUILD THE SKILLS

Beginning guitar can feel overwhelming when too many things are introduced at once. This book takes a simpler approach: start with a small musical win, then add one skill at a time.

Your child learns how to:
• hold the guitar comfortably
• pluck the strings clearly
• place the fingers correctly
• read simple guitar TAB
• form and change chords
• fingerpick and strum
• use new skills in real songs

Clear photographs, diagrams, exercises, and video demonstrations show what to do — not just what to read.

YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY GUITAR TO HELP YOUR CHILD

The lessons follow a clear sequence, so parents do not need previous guitar or music experience. Photos show hand and finger placement, chord diagrams show where the fingers go, and video demonstrations show the movements in action.

Selected simplified chord shapes give beginners an easier starting point while they build the strength and control needed for fuller chords.

30 SONGS IN THE BOOK + 10 BONUS SONGS ONLINE

Put new skills into practice with familiar songs including Happy Birthday, Jingle Bells, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, The Wheels on the Bus, When the Saints Go Marching In, Bingo, and more.

Song pages combine lyrics, chords, chord diagrams, and strumming directions so children can see what to play and when to play it.
