Author: Have you ever tried to find guitar instructions for kids, but everything just seems to difficult to figure out for them? Or maybe your son/daughter is interested in the instrument and you’re wondering what to do now? Not to worry at all! There are plenty of solutions for this type of situation.
First one being that you and your child remember, that guitar instructions for kids work similarly to that for adults. It requires persistance and a love of music. For kids, this is somewhat hard, as there are so many things to distract them for one reason or another, or they get bored very easily and go do something else.
You have to have something that makes it FUN for kids to want to learn. At least, that’s how it was for me when I was a kid. I bet your’s isn’t too much different. So, while you’ve got guitar instructions for kids that are great, if they’re also not fun(which, sometimes, guitar instructions might not be…), it’s still going to be a challenge.
So how do you make learning guitar fun? Simple!
You may it like a game. Make it like a contest. If there’s even the tiniest bit of challenge to it, a child can’t help but be fascinated by whatever he or she is doing. How DARE you say he can’t do 30+ chord changes in a minute? What do you mean you don’t think he can learn Hero of War by Rise Against? You’re insane!
Little things like that can make guitar instructions for kids fun.
Now that we’ve got that covered, it’s time to make sure we’ve got some good lessons in the first place!
Personally, these guitar instructions for kids happen to be my favorite(and my son’s favorite!). I actually bought this for him for his birthday and he’s been perpetually entertained since. He’s also continually progressed since and I’m getting to be very impressed with what he’s able to do now. Heck, I’d say in a few years he might even be better than me!

A fine and integral part of playing the guitar, is an often underrated and overlooked style: Country guitar. People often think that this style is outdone and/or easy, so they rarely reap the benefits the country guitar instruction has to offer them as a musician. There’s just something about that fun, twangy style of guitar that you just can’t help but love. Even if you’re not really interested in country music, you can’t just overlook the benefits of at least looking into country guitar instruction. I mean, I’m not really a fan of Country music(except ‘Texas Country’, which could be more classified as a more rock-ish kind of feel), and as such, I never really looked into the style for my own playing until quite a bit down the road, but once I did, I was very glad to have been swept in by this fun style of playing.
So, for this lesson, we’re going to give you guys some tabs to read so you can see what would be in store for you in Country guitar instruction. This will be a short lesson, where we’ll give you guys tabs, and a link to some of our personal favorites in this area. So, let’s get started!
A simple riff you can play that’s fun and easy to learn would be:
E ——————————————
B ——————————————
G ——————————————
D –3-3-2———————-0-3-0—-
A ———5-3—————3————
E —————5-6–3-1—————–
Give that a go over a few times, see how it feels. Feels good, eh?
Some of you may have recognized that as a riff that Johnny Cash played in a few of his songs. It sounds good when he does it, and it’ll sound good when you do it!
This was a quick and fun little tidbit of country guitar instructions. We have our personal favorites here:
1) Amazon.com’s Guitar Instructions
3) Youtube
Honestly, finding country guitar instruction that will suit you isn’t hard and you will constantly reap the benefits of practicing this style. We hope you enjoyed this post as much as we enjoyed writing it!
