-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

-= Rodmans Course for Kids and Beginners =-

 

 

 

Well... my 6 year old son learns to play the guitar now for about a year, and he does really well. 30 min lession at a professional musician once a week and a bit practice at home.
As he knows me shredding some RS CS songs all the time he is very Rocksmith motivated - so to connect his achieved abilities to the game as well as present an easy course to anyone or anyones kids who want to start playing the guitar i decided to chart some of his exercises and songs and some own collected stuff to a growing collection here...

 

P.S: my son uses my fender squier mini strat which works quite fine.

 

 

 

The lessions are either Exercises or Songs, categorised by

 

Difficulty Levels 1-5(-10 maybe somewhen)
L1 - minimal stringskipping, slow, only open strings or one hand position
L2 - max. 2 strings, one hand position, short
L3 - one hand position, more strings, faster, longer
L4 - more than one hand position or generally harder / faster than L3
L5 - too difficult for L4 / first chords

 

The lessions consist of tabs very well synced to a background metronome track.

 

Tipp: The speed is chosen at the songs to match an comfortale singalong and at the exercises at the speed they are meant to be played - so start off with reduced speed in Riff Repeater and accelerate as you progress!!!!

 

... starting easy lessons and depending on the response and my sons motivation planning to add a lot more. have fun.
