Hal Leonard HAL LEONARD GUITAR METHOD - GUITAR FOR KIDS SONGBOOK + AUDIO EN LIGNE - LYRICS AND CHORDS

Summary of This Book

Guitar for Kids Songbook is a collection of songs designed to accompany guitar learning for children and absolute beginners. The goal is simple: to offer well-known and enjoyable pieces to play, while respecting a progressive logic. This way, strumming (rhythmic playing with a pick or fingers) and chord changes are practiced in a concrete musical context, which helps stabilize the left hand, improve rhythmic consistency, and develop listening skills.

The content follows the same chronology as the associated method: starting with pieces built around two or three chords, perfect for acquiring good reflexes (finger placement, transitions, pulse), before moving on to slightly richer songs with up to four and five chords. This is a particularly effective approach to maintain motivation: each new chord learned can be quickly reinvested in a "sounding" song.

Among the songs offered are "Love Me Do" and "Paperback Writer" (The Beatles), "Every Breath You Take" (The Police), "Three Little Birds" (Bob Marley and The Wailers), "Don't Worry, Be Happy" (Bobby McFerrin), "Electric Avenue" (Eddy Grant), "Feelin' Alright" (Joe Cocker), "Jambalaya (On The Bayou)" (Hank Williams), and "At The Hop" (Danny and The Juniors). An ideal selection to vary styles, work on accompaniment, and progressively enrich chord vocabulary.
