GUITAR BOARD

> Hi all
> Ive been asked by the wifes sister to teach my 11 year old niece
> some guitar.
> She already plays clarinet by reading music (but is bored with it) and
> is a good singer.
> Before her mum and dad shell out for an acoustic, (lets face it at 11
> it could be a fad) they asked if I could teach her as at present,
> there are no places in the guitar lessons at her school.
> My starting point seems to be showing her the basic chord shapes (E A
> D), and getting the right hand to make a nice easy rhythic stroke
> using a pick. My plan would be to increase the chord library (C G Em
> Am etc..) and some basic chord theory with a view to her being able to
> play a few Avril Lavine songs, my theory being that if she can play/
> sing her fave songs quite quickly, it will generate more relevence and
> interest.
> Is this method is a good one? I dont want to start her off on the
> wrong foot. What do you think??
