Alternatively, teach him some music theory. Learning enough to identify most chords and make up your own isn't difficult. Much easier than, for example, leaning how to play barre chords, or developing a decent vibrato.
I always loved the sounds that Billy Joel (piano) and Ralph McTell (guitar and piano) used to “find” in their songs that made the “magic” . I don’t know why in my earlier guitar years I didn’t work this out by just adding other notes with my fingers to root chords or inversions. But it just is easier on a keyboard (esp working in C major because it is easy to see what any new note is in relation to the I), even the black keys.
a good book for chord progressions in a key is the Rikki Rooksby series (e.g. How to write songs on a guitar; ChordMaster - how to write the right chords, etc. He has a variety)
An alternative could be a regular chord book and a chord wheel http://www.chordwheel.com/ ?
It’s a good halfway house towards theory I think
