Chord books for kids from Mel Bay

Childrens Mandolin Chord Book from Mel BayMel Bay Publications has released a series of children’s chord books for young pickers getting started on banjo, mandolin or ukulele.

Each book runs 24 pages and presents the chords systematically, starting with simple shapes and moving later to more difficult fingerings. The chords are taught as they relate to common chord progressions and are shown both in extra large diagrams and photographs.

The books sell for $5.99 each and while they were written with young students in mind, Mel Bay suggests that they are “great for beginners of all ages.”

These chords books are ideal for those just getting started. Very easy to use and understand. In addition to the diagrams, the big photos are so helpful in demonstrating chords to the beginner. They are in-stock and ready to ship at http://www.melbayXpress.com or contact your local retailer.
