To assist the beginner learn to play guitar and read music confidently, this series of lessons makes use of a child's natural learning instincts. Children are visual learners and will naturally imitate the actions of a parent or teacher in the early stages of their learning journey, that's why this series involves the teacher playing short phrases and the student imitates them. The pieces use visually logical and easily memorable finger patterns. A story, woven into the pieces, evolves as the student progresses. In this video, lesson 23 in the series, the student recognises the ascending then descending melodic line and how the letter names advance in alphabetical order then go backwards as the line descends. Each phrase is two bars long and each bar contains notes of the same pitch. There is plenty of time for the student to mentally process the pitch and rhythm of the written music. As for being a part in an evolving story, we learn that the main character, Simon fancies himself as a soccer player but he is not very good at it.
