So, what book am I talking about? I’m talking about Alfred’s music theory complete - music theory made easy.

A few interesting things to note about this book, is that it’s really three books in one! It has three comprehensive sections to it which build upon the last, ensuring that you will know all there is to know about music theory by the time you’re done. Each section is around 40 pages(some are a bit more), and has an accompanying CD to go along with it. At the end of each chapter, there are tests that you are to complete before you go ahead to the next chapter(to make sure that you understand everything that is being taught in the course).

So, what range of topics can you expect from alfred’s music theory complete that makes music theory made easy?

This book claims to be a complete  self-study course for all musicians, and in my opinion, it does not fail to do that.

In the first section, it has 6 units which are broken into different chapters all on their own. Ranging from learning the staff, how to read and write musical notation(Unit 1), to reading the different time signatures and ties and slurs(unit 3) ending with flats, sharps, naturals, and Enharmonic notes.

Unit 2 goes into tetrachords and major scales, and ends with triads, scale degree names, and the dominant 7th chord. In between there, you’ll find information on scales, intervals, 16th notes, 16th rests, and even more time signatures.

The final unit, unit 3, begins with Triad Inversions, Figured Bass, Major Chord Progressions, delves into harmonizing a melody in a major key, broken chords and arpeggiated accompaniments, composing a melody in a major key, and ends with give you all you need to write music, and the different types of writing music.

Each chapter also has ear training to go with it, as well. The book goes well into the theory of music much deeper than that, but if I were to write it all out, this would be more than just a review!

So if you want music theory made easy, and you want the real deal, go ahead and check out the link below. Have a good day!

Alfred’s Music Theory Complete Course

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!

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
