Doesn't use standard tuning,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SmartStart Guitar: A Fun, Easy Approach to Beginning Guitar for Kids (Paperback)
I bought this book for children who have some experience on piano and also have other guitar books. This book does not use standard tuning so the chords and other fingering learned are different than normal. Children cannot use this method with any other guitar book or chord reference book. It is good if you want to get very young children to be able to do something. However, it is limited in that you cannot carry the fingering knowledge beyond the book. You would be able to carry the strum patterns beyond this book.

I Love It Too!,

This review is from: SmartStart Guitar: A Fun, Easy Approach to Beginning Guitar for Kids (Paperback)
It may be a SmartStart for kids, but I love it too. I don't play the guitar so I bought this book to start working with my 6 year old. He thinks it is great but now I'm hooked and finding myself learning to play! I love the CD that comes with the book. I put the kids to bed at night and sneak away with the book and my son's guitar. I didn't stick with lessons when I was a child. Jessica Baron Turner's method is more fun because you are playing traditional(fun to sing) songs right away...day one. The CD helps you tune the guitar and make sure your chords and songs sound correct. You can also rewind and rewind and not feel embarrassed. It's a great bargain for (...) bucks and both my son and I are very happy with it.
