Guitar tabs for kids
Simple guitar tabs that kids can actually play.
Tabs4Kids turns famous songs into short, single-note practice versions. Big numbers, plain-English rhythm, and a parent nearby.
Super Easy songs use a few nearby notes. Famous riffs wait when you are ready.
A tab looks like this
Tab is short for tablature: a picture of the strings. Numbers are frets. 0 means play the string open.
Wider space = a longer note. Empty space = wait.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
High e
thinnest string
B
2nd thinnest
How it works
For kids and the grown-up sitting next to them. No accounts. No comments. Just a clear page and a guitar.
Step 1
Pick a short song
Every page is a tiny teaching excerpt — the famous bit, not the whole song.
Step 2
Read the big numbers
Each number is a fret. 0 means play the string open, with no fingers pressing.
Step 3
Play it slowly
Speed can wait. If it sounds like the song at a crawl, you are winning.
