Progressive Guitar Method for Young Beginners Books 1, 2 & 3 have been designed to introduce the younger student to the basics of Guitar playing and reading music. To maximize the student’s enjoyment and interest, the Progressive Young Beginner series incorporates an extensive repertoire of well-known childrens’ songs.
All the songs have been carefully graded into an easy-to-follow, lesson-by-lesson format, which assumes no prior knowledge of music or the guitar by the student. Chord symbols and easy strumming patterns are provided above each song.
Progressive Guitar Method for Young Beginners Book 2 extends the range of notes to cover more than one octave, involving five new notes (E, F, G, open D and F#), and five simplified chord shapes (G, D7, C, G7 and D). It contains very easy arrangements of over 20 songs, and introduces the student to eighth notes, eighth note strum patterns and dotted quarter notes. New pieces are highlighted by color boxes, and color illustrations are used throughout to stimulate and maintain the students’ interest.
Supplementary Songbook A contains 29 extra songs to provide a repertoire to go with all the notes, terms and techniques learned in Method Book 2.
