About this sheet

These are the five chords the Little Warriors kids' dojo teaches first: Em, A7, G, C and D — small-hands versions with few fingers and no stretches. The dots are drawn as empty circles on purpose: coloring each one in is a fun way for a kid to memorize where their fingers go. The bottom row shows the same chords on a Loog, the 3-string kids' guitar whose strings match a full guitar's top three, so every shape transfers.

Pair it with the kids' practice star chart, or start the quests at the Little Warriors dojo.
