Things to consider

Start by matching the method to your student's age and prior music experience: Ron Manus's Kid's Guitar Course works well for young learners, while Alfred's Basic Guitar Method and Belwin's 21st Century Guitar Method serve general-age beginners. If your student has classical aspirations, titles like Pumping Nylon and Classic Guitar Technique will build proper technique from the start. Check
