Product Review Summary: Great book!

This is really a great idea, and well executed. My 8-year-old daughter has really enjoyed it, and has learned just about all the songs. Learning folk songs they already know and enjoy is a good way to get younger kids started. The book provides easy-to-read tablature in addition to standard notation so they can play the melodies, and chord symbols so they can practice their rhythm chops as well. The songs require only a few chords, and are simple to play. It includes a reasonable range of keys with chords easier to play -- there are none of those F chords that are hard for little hands to master! I've had a blast playing the chords while she plays the melody and vice versa. Even if you can play just a little bit of guitar, you can have a great experience with your child. The companion CD adds another level of instruction, so the child can hear the music. This is another fine product from String Letter Publishing -- I've found their products to be at a consistently high standard.

Product Review Summary: horrible

All songs are transmographied, nothing sounds like the original.
I need my money back.

Product Review Summary: easy to play, awful to sing

While these songs are relatively easy to play for beginning guitarists, I bought the book so I could play and sing with my young son. Except for a couple of the songs, I found the key the songs were written in made them very hard to sing.

Product Review Summary: Useful for beginners

I'm very much a beginning guitarist and this book is well within my range. It offers some fairly easy to play melodies and the songs are some that my own children recognize and can sing, making it enjoyable for all of us. If you're looking for a book to stretch your guitar skills, this isn't it, but if you just want to learn some fun songs your children might like too, this is great!

Product Review Summary: Well written and chosen children's songs for beginners

This is a good collection of easy to play songs, definitely appropriate for kids under 10. Worth checking out.
