My son is 8 and has a basic understanding of chord structure and good rhythm and thinks heavily in patterns. I am lining up with a local guitar teacher who is accomplished in many styles but usually starts kids off with the cowboy chords, but is open to doing something more pattern based especially if I can help find some supporting material. Does anyone have recommendations for resources? Basically I want him to learn how to build 3-finger major 6, minor 6, and dominate 7 chords off the first two strings and know the notes on the first two strings. Even some song recommendations? dark eyes? well you needn't? I realize this would not be the approach for everyone (but I sure wish someone would have started me this way!)
