1. I’m not a guitar teacher. Can I really teach it?
Absolutely. Teach Your Kids Guitar (TYKG) is a learning method that enables any parent to teach a child to play the guitar – including parents who has no previous musical experience.
TYKG takes full advantage of the Tablature (TAB) music notation system. TAB is a simple music notation system that is used universally by guitarist, and TAB can be easily learned in one day. As a result, there is no need to learn the much more complicated standard music notation system that can become a barrier to many beginner musicians.
Additionally, the TYKG guitar instruction system was designed to be understood on a gradual basis, and in a way that parallels your child’s own musical development. Even if you’ve never picked up a guitar before, TYKG will provide the knowledge and resources that will enable you to teach guitar to your child.
2. At what age can my child begin to learn guitar with the TYKG method?
TYKG is a flexible learning approach that can work well for kids of all ages. In general, the minimum age for learning guitar is around 5 and up. It’s usually around this time that a child’s hands become large enough to handle the guitar and play notes.

3. My child already has guitar experience. Can he or she benefit from TYKG?
Yes. Many kids who play guitar have learned songs, but lack proper rhythm skills to play music with perfect timing. With TYKG, students have the opportunity to improve rhythm skills in the best way possible – practicing right along with musical play-along tracks. In addition, singing, sight reading and other things can be refined. With TYKG, guitar skills can always be refined with our extensive collection of kid-friendly songs!

Yes. The Digital Download includes all of the learning components, sheet music, play along tracks and instructional resources that come with he hard copy version.
