Award-winning Beginner Guitar Lessons for Kids That Keep Learning Fun With Music Games and Interactive Feedback

My Guitar is a complete course of over 60 guitar lessons for kids designed by the award-winning guitarist and teacher Kevin Garry, Ph.D. It features Gary the Guitar, an animated character that teaches children how to tune the guitar, play easy guitar chords, read guitar TABs (guitar tablature, a popular guitar notation) and play easy kids’ guitar songs such as Jingle Bells, Yankee Doodle and many more.
