Kid's Guitar Course, Book 1

by Ron Manus

Alfred's new Kid's Guitar Course is the easiest method ever that teaches children to play songs on the guitar right away. This 48-page full-color book comes with an enhanced CD that always lets you hear how the music should sound, and each lesson on every colorful page is explained in plain language that's easy to understand. Plus, you get to learn from three irresistable guitar experts-a clever classical dog, one cool jazz cat, and a friendly alligator who loves the blues. They keep your attention focused by pointing out what's important on each page and help you learn by making music fun! When the enhanced CD is played on a computer, additional tools are available, including a chord dictionary and a guitar tuner. You can see and hear the music, adjust the tempo of songs, and even record yourself playing with a band!
