Book excerpt: This paper proposes a sketch-version of a unifying beginner’s cost-effective teaching/learning method for any fretted string instrument (like ukulele, guitalele, mandolin, banjo, guitar etc) using the same common 4-strings B3-G3-D3-A2 tuning, which may be also used to teach/learn the basic music theory and practice elements: more specifically, the standard BGDA tuning of the central 4 strings of the guitar may be applied (non-standardly!) to all the other cited smaller (thus more portable) instruments (like ukulele, guitalele and mandolin) which may be used either independently/separately or as preparatory instruments for the purpose of teaching guitar (and music theory) after that first teaching/learning phase on a smaller instrument (or on a 4-strings guitar). This unifying method may largely open the horizons of children (and beginners in general, to experience more than one instrument) and may also help poor children/persons (who don’t afford a guitar) to be taught the guitar basics (including important elements of music theory) on much cheaper (smaller) instruments (who are generally much more accessible): that is why this method also addresses to all music teaching systems from all poor countries worldwide.
