This review is from: Children's Songs for Beginning Guitar Book/CD (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Paperback)
I'm very much a beginning guitarist and this book is well within my range. It offers some fairly easy to play melodies and the songs are some that my own children recognize and can sing, making it enjoyable for all of us. If you're looking for a book to stretch your guitar skills, this isn't it, but if you just want to learn some fun songs your children might like too, this is great!

This review is from: Children's Songs for Beginning Guitar Book/CD (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Paperback)
This is really a great idea, and well executed. My 8-year-old daughter has really enjoyed it, and has learned just about all the songs. Learning folk songs they already know and enjoy is a good way to get younger kids started. The book provides easy-to-read tablature in addition to standard notation so they can play the melodies, and chord symbols so they can practice their rhythm chops as well. The songs require only a few chords, and are simple to play. It includes a reasonable range of keys with chords easier to play -- there are none of those F chords that are hard for little hands to master! I've had a blast playing the chords while she plays the melody and vice versa. Even if you can play just a little bit of guitar, you can have a great experience with your child. The companion CD adds another level of instruction, so the child can hear the music. This is another fine product from String Letter Publishing -- I've found their products to be at a consistently high standard.
