• When you have learnt all the easy guitar
  chords you can start learning the harder ones.
  Online guitar learning courses can be helpful to
  kids. Guitars are an amazing instrument which
  kids should learn as a hobby.
• I am often amazed and dismayed at the way
  guitar lessons teach complete beginners. They
  seem to be hell bent on making the new guitarist
  fail at every turn. They teach chords and
  sequences that are completely out of reach for a
  new guitar player. Because of this they can give
  up far too early. What you need to do is learn
  the easy guitar chords first and find songs that
  will use these chords. When you have learnt all
  the easy guitar chords you can start learning the
  harder ones.

• First Guitar Chords
• Rather than just give out a list of the easy
  chords let me first tell you what they all have
  in common. They all have only two or three
  fingers for the left hand and they are all
  closely placed together on the fret board. I do
  not agree with teaching the chords of G and C in
  the first few lessons as they require quite a bit
  of stretching and accuracy to get right. The
  first guitar chords you should learn include E,
  A, Em, Am, D, Dm, D7, A7, E7 and D Maj 7. That is
  10 chords which are easy to play and can be
  learnt in a week at the most.

• Learning the guitar chords
• Learn these chords first to the point that
  your fingers can find them automatically.
  Practice playing Kids guitars with your eyes
  closed so that your fingers get used to the
  positions of the strings and frets. Once you have
  done this you can then play harder chords. You
  fingers will find them and play them much more
  easily because you have become familiar with the
  Kids guitars.

• The second wave of Kids guitars chords
•  
• The second set of guitar chords still only
  use two or three fingers but this time they can
  cover the first 3 fret positions in one chord.
  The next best 10 chords to learn are C, G, C
  major 7, G7, F major 7, A major 7, Em7, Dm7, A2
  and Esus4. Mixing this second set of chords with
  the first 10 will enable you to play most songs
  ever written. I kid you not. Most songs include
  only 3, 4 or 5 chords. It is how they are put
  together and played that make the songs all sound
  so different.

• The third set of Kids guitars chords
• There are a huge set of chords called "Bar"
  chords (Sometimes spelt Barre). These should not
  be used until you have really got hold of the
  first 20 chords. It is worth learning them after
  this however as you will be able to play anything
  once you have mastered these bar chords. To let
  you in gently the first one to learn is Fm7. Look
  it up and try it out. Once you have learnt it you
  can place this chord shape anywhere on the Kids
  guitars fingerboard to get different versions of
  the chord. They will all be m7 chords but the
  chord name will change. The first 4 are Fm7,
  Fm7, Gm7, Gm7. You get the idea!
