Guitarists of the smb

[conrad]

Can anyone recommend a free app, website or YouTube channel to help my 8 year old kid get started please? He got an electric guitar at Christmas and picks it up for at least 30 minutes a day, but I can’t take listening to smoke on the water anymore.
Downloaded a couple of decent looking apps but they started wanting to charge £20 a month subscription.

It ain’t free but if you’ve an Xbox or PlayStation in the house he’ll love this

My guitar tutor currently has me doing bar chords in the key of A & F. Do they eventually get easier? Feel as though I'm getting nowhere getting a perfect tune out of them & tough on the wrist.
Key of E not F

Bar chords can make your hands ache like hell, if you’re not used to it. Keep with it and eventually you will learn to use your thumb instead which is easier.

Practice holding you E chord as you would an F... i.e. with the 2nd, 3rd anfd 4th fingers.

Do the same with the A chord.
