Beginner Guitar Lessons for Kids Book: with Online Video and Audio Access
The Beginner Guitar Lessons for Kids Book with Online Video & Audio Access by Jay Wamsted was designed to help the absolute beginning student learn to play the guitar. This step by step course is designed for elementary school-aged children (ages 5-10) and quickly teaches the student to play songs they will know and love. These lessons start by playing beginner chord shapes (G, C, G7, D) that are easier for younger students with smaller hands. Song arrangements and strum patterns were carefully selected to help children have early success playing the guitar. This course will help the young beginner avoid getting frustrated and quitting the instrument.
The next section of the book teaches the same songs but with full chord shapes. This can be used for either a beginner with larger hands or for a student who is now ready to expand their playing. This course includes online access to video instruction and audio tracks. The video lessons allow the child to hear and see how each song is played from a rhythm and technique standpoint. The video also shows the guitar, both hands, and the sheet music on-screen at the same time.
He's Got the Whole World, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Wheels on the Bus, Row Row Row Your Boat, Hush Little Baby, Rain Rain Go Away, Hokey Pokey, If You're Happy and You Know It, Itsy Bitsy Spider, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Oh When the Saints, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Good beginner book for kids
It’s a very basic and limited version of a guitar book, but it is great for starting kids on guitar playing if they have no musical experience. The songs are easy and the videos make learning more simple. It only includes chords, not melodies. But it’s great for learning some basic accompaniments for familiar kid’s tunes.
