Quick & Easy Guitar Riffs For Children

The Guitar Riff is as old as the trees but there are some real classic songs written using some amazing riffs. The great thing about a guitar riff is that it's generally quite short so it's perfect for children and beginners to learn. Many riffs can also be played on just one string, even with just one finger but will still sound great!
