Give your child a fun, easy path to guitar playing with Alfred’s Kid’s Guitar Course 2, available at Irvine Art and Music. This all‑in‑one package includes a 48‑page book, a companion DVD, and online video/audio/software access, so students can learn at their own pace. Book 2 picks up where Book 1 left off, teaching notes on the fourth, fifth and sixth strings, new chords, tempo signs, dynamics and more. Each colorful lesson uses simple language and comes with audio tracks that can be streamed or downloaded so kids hear how each example should sound. Three friendly cartoon characters—a classical dog, a jazz‑loving cat and a bluesy alligator—highlight key points and make learning enjoyable, and parents can guide the lessons even without musical experience.

The included DVD demonstrates the basics of guitar playing, showing students how to hold and tune the guitar, strum chords and read music. On‑screen notation, live performances and bonus MP3 tracks give learners a clear model to follow. Interactive software lets students view the music on screen and adjust the playback speed—plus they get free online access to the video, MP3s and software. It’s everything a young guitarist needs to progress confidently from beginner to intermediate levels.
