My Project

Some of my students come into my class with a basic knowledge of how to play the guitar. Unfortunately that is not the case for most of my students. Most of my students are beginners.

Please help me get books that will help my students learn how to play simple songs on the guitar.

I want my students to learn as quickly as possible and some students pick up the skills quicker than others. I want to have many options for my students so they can learn as many songs as possible.
