Yeah, I can remember the first time I thought I figured out "Smoke on the Water" using the bottom E and played that riff for ever... That is the kind of thing I'm thinking about.
At 6 it is just not possible to hold an open cord with such small hands, but I'm trying to show them some simple things, maybe just root notes for now on a few songs they like to get the rhythm and such down.
I wanted to see if anyone else has been through the same situation and what they did. I figure root notes are about the best I'm going to get out of them as at this stage it is just a way to get some early success.
