The Duck Soup Guitar Method

This little-known but revolutionary beginning guitar method shows how to use 6 different partial capo configurations to simplify basic chord fingerings. There is no easier way to begin "campfire-style" guitar. It allows children (and lazy adults & beginners) to have fun and play "Instant Guitar" with full-sounding, interesting songs and no learning curve. It's been in use since 1982 at dozens of universities, in music education programs as well as at hundreds of retirement homes, hospitals and living rooms. The capo configurations used for a lot of the simple fingerings are the same ones good players use for playing fancy guitar. 

• Total beginners and very young children can strum 3-chord songs with only one and 2-finger chords, in standard tuning.

• Play 29 familiar two and three-chord songs immediately, with no practicing.

• No need to wait until children’s hands grow large enough to play conventional chords.

• An ideal “pre-guitar” experience. Most chord shapes you learn in Duck Soup Guitar are applicable later once you  begin to play “normal” guitar chords.
