Guitar Chords for Children and People with Small Hands

On our most recent trip to visit up north, we got to see one of our nieces that we gave a 3/4 sized Strat look alike to. She is 6 years old and likes to perform, dance, sing, draw and do magic. While watching her play, I had what you might call an epiphany. What I noticed was that she did not have a problem remembering basic guitar chords, but she did have a problem forcing her fingers around the neck into the proper positions on the neck of the guitar. Simply put, her problem was hand size and not smarts. she reads tabs already.

With that in mind finding a method of education for a child is paramount in the success of learning to play guitar. After plenty of time looking at online guitar lessons, this particular course has terrific guitar lessons for beginners, and people with small hands or children, on 20 dvds with an excellent guitar lesson book. My preference is for video guitar lessons, check all of the recommend ones out and make your best decision.

My point is that lots of adults are small people and don’t have regular full sized hands. They may have a ton of experience, yet never actually played a guitar that fit them well. >That is the difference between a beginner with full sized hands and an experienced guitar player who is not large enough to play a big guitar. Putting it in terms you understand, ‘beginners’ chords and ‘children’s’ chords are different. If you are not comfortable when you play the guitar, than it is nearly impossible to get the results one may obtain by practicing effectively.

The basis of calling certain chords ‘children’s chords’ is centered on the size of ones hands and the ability to play a comfortable guitar that one can execute properly the material that they want to play. So, realistically speaking, I’m interested in providing easy chords that sound great and are less complicated inversions of the mandatory basic chords mentioned in this article.

It’s very elementary, it’s is a reflection of hand size, not ability. There are lots of smaller sized guitars available that have every bit the tone and quality of full sized guitars.

Talent level has nothing to do with your physical size. Essentially, what GPC is advocating is playing chords that a small person can comfortably position their hands for,… Note: as a ‘beginner’ progresses and gets used to using their hands in this manner than more advanced stage three chords can be achieved... Being comfortable and relaxed is part of the discipline of playing the guitar. A smaller person will benefit too by being more comfy while holding the proper sized instrument.

Perhaps to many kids start playing a guitar that is to big, therefore causing frustration and pain to set in. Realistically speaking, too big of a guitar is just as big of a hurdle to cross as not being taught the correct beginners guitar chords. Choose your guitar and teacher wisely.

Guitar Players Center has plenty of articles on how to read tabs, which is one way guitar music is put into writing. We hope you follow the text links and find out how much fun and personal gratification comes from playing the guitar.
