But to a child encountering music training for the first time with a guitar in hand, using left and right hands independently, strumming rhythmically, learning what a chord is, reading notes and understanding their relationship to the guitar strings is a process shrouded in mystery.
From guitar chord fretboards small, large, and SUPER large, to flashcards and blank tablature, there are many tools here for your students!
With all the different chords, this may look like a complicated song, but just look at the tablature! 0, 2, or 4 are all that are used.

HANDS DOWN the favorite guitar song at my studio for young guitar players, with great qualities of endurance! As in, they do not seem to get tired of it.
The doubled timing I have used in this particular arrangement may look peculiar, but it helps young guitarists get the timing accurate.

Jingle Bells Easy Guitar Lesson: Guitarnick.com
On a piano keyboard, we can look and see that between C & D is a black note, called either C sharp or D flat. And between B & C, and between E & F, there are no black notes.
The frets offer no clues of the existence or non-existence of sharps and flats. Instead, the beginner guitarist must memorize the fact that there is no real separate note called E#, no real Fb.
And a note on one string can easily be duplicated on another string. You can play 4th-fret B on the G string, then move next door to the B string and play the same note open.
The Ultimate Guide To Lead Guitar (more Tips And Tricks)
What's THAT all about? On the piano the notes stay put --- Middle C is always just Middle C. This is true of most instruments, in fact.
Then there's the PAIN problem -- pressing the strings hard enough to eliminate buzz, to make chords sound good. Squeeze the strings! Squeeze them harder! Just ignore the pain.Now strum -- ugh!
Tippy-toe, like a ballet dancer. Hmm, you'll have to cut your fingernails. Oh - you didn't know that learning how to play guitar would involve pain and suffering?
Acoustic Guitar Songs To Learn
(Of course, I don't really tell my students their playing sounds bad, even if it does. They may not sound good even when they get their skill down, if their folks didn't find them the best beginner guitar.
But young kids who are learning how to play guitar need easy steps, even baby steps, adding up to building blocks. They need to move one small step at a time, because in reality they are bringing together so many different skills. And they need lots of repetition.
I use very easy beginner guitar books for my guitar students, plus music sheets I make up, beginner guitar tabs. The music sheets are usually guitar tablature in combination with standard music notation.
Easy Silent Night For Guitar
(You and I both know that if guitar tabs are there, then that's what they're going to be reading, not the treble staff! But they do need the treble clef notes for the rhythm, unless they pick it up by ear.)
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of beginner guitar books out there in music land, and I must have over two dozen myself! But here are the ones I've settled on for now:
To teach reading notes (instead of just guitar tabs) to my youngest guitar students, I like the Progressive books for Young Beginners . They move slowly, and have CDs.
Lead Guitar Lessons For All Guitarists
Primarily, I appreciate these books because they start with one new note per page -- or even per two pages -- NO EIGHTH NOTES (the bane of counting for young kids), and NO TABLATURE to seduce kids away from the task of notereading.
Mel Bay's Easiest Country Guitar for Children is one of the cleverest guitar books I have seen! It is nicely laid out-- it starts with six simple, uncluttered pages each presenting a single topic:
Very simple tunes (such as Railroad Bill, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Wabash Cannonball, Wildwood Flower and Shady Grove) complete with treble clef, guitar tabs, chord symbols, and where necessary, picking indications.
Beginner Guitar: Songs, Guitar Tabs, Guitar Chord Sheets & More!
Then those techniques are introduced in the last song, Watermelon on the Vine. The book comes with a CD. It's a great repertoire book, but unlike the Progressive books, it does not teach notereading.
Book One is the simplest book I have found for young kids, because it starts with the baby C chord -- just the one-finger on fret 1 string 2 chord, and stays with it for a few pages before venturing on to the baby G7 chord.
This has become my favorite beginner's book, because when a little boy shouts with excitement, That song looks fun! and starts in playing right away a song that calls for a new technique, my heart is melted.
How To Play Simple Man
Another book I like very much as a supplement is Usborne's Very Easy Guitar Tunes . It has NO TABLATURE, so the student is forced to read the treble staff.
There are also no lessons with new things to learn -- just nice guitar tunes getting progressively more difficult. Some of the tunes are surprisingly pretty, and there are lots of duets and rounds to make playing together fun.
Because my guitar students frequently find themselves playing along with fiddlers, I recommend that they purchase Mel Bay American Fiddle Method, Vol. 1 .

The first three songs make a great medley (Boilem' Cabbage Down, Shortnin' Bread, and Cripple Creek), and help students really nail down the A, D, and E or E7 chords.
Accompanying other musicians gives real meaning and urgency to their at-home practice time! The songs in this great fiddle series all have chord symbols over the melody lines.
A couple of really great Teach yourself guitar books that have impressed me with their well-thought out instruction and content are The Everything Rock & Blues Guitar Book: From Chords to Scales and Licks to Tricks, All You Need to Play Like the Greats (Everything Series) and Usborne's Learn to Play Guitar (Usborne Music Guides)
Easy Guitar Song Tabs
