TL;DR: If you are strapped for time, here is the meat of our method. It took 2 years to develop and involved guitar teachers, parents, and even child psychologists.

- Parent guidance made easy for home learning, even for non-musical moms and dads
- Systematic progression where each lesson builds on previous skills
- One new skill at a time, immediately applied through fun songs
- Slower-paced lessons specifically designed for kids
- Practice sessions include backing tracks with vocals for engaging solo practice
- Quiz to revise knowledge from each lesson
- Success throughout the course, small wins with each lesson
- Carefully structured lessons
- Balance of children's songs and simplified popular hits
- Independent practice made fun and effective
- Gamified learning experience to maintain motivation
An amazing bonding experience unfolds between you and your child when you learn guitar together.
If you have the time and energy, I wholeheartedly recommend you learn guitar alongside your kids, it is quality time to the max. You can start from zero and progress together with each lesson.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Younger children (ages 8-10) will need more support from you during practice sessions
- Older kids (11+) can be more independent, but your encouragement is still vital
- No musical experience needed from your side - we guide you every step of the way with a Parent's Resource Video in each course
We cover all of this in detail in the Guitar Parent's Playbookâ„¢, which you'll receive for free when signing up. It's packed with tips on how to support your child's learning journey, regardless of your own musical background.
How They'll Learn Guitar
Here's exactly how we make learning guitar fun and effective at GuitarPlayground.
Make it their own
The account is designed for your child, giving them a sense of independence.
They'll look forward to receiving new lessons, emails addressed to their name, personal video messages from Milan & Tom.
You can check their progress via your parent's dashboard.
Learn without overwhelm
Your child gets a new 15-20 minute lesson 2 days after completing the previous one.
This timing lets them practice along with a backing track or rewatch a tutorial on non-lesson days (thereby earning rewards), and makes sure they don't get behind if they skip a day.
Build skills naturally through songs
Our step-by-step system introduces new skills - like chords, notes, and techniques - through songs your child will love playing.
We call these sections "Building Blocks".
Lessons build on previous ones, so they'll always be improving without even realizing it.
Motivation with rewards
Our gamified system helps your child stay excited about learning guitar by rewarding consistent effort and skill growth (completing lessons, quizzes, practicing, etc.).
They'll want to collect more badges, earn more points, and at the same time, feel accomplished and get a sense of guitarist identity.
Celebrate big wins with real items
Nothing beats the smile on your child's face when they receive a surprise package in the mail for reaching specific guitar goals, like:
- branded guitar picks,
- physical certificates of achievement,
- t-shirts.
The smaller items are part of your subscription, the larger ones we'll ask separate payment for.
These are important in shaping their self awareness and identity as a guitar player, paving the way for their musical future.
