A tight-binding model of hydrogen-terminated armchair-edge graphene nanostrips is presented, which includes up to third-nearest-neighbor carbon-carbon interactions and edge distortion. The model reproduces the band gaps found in first-principles local-density-functional calculations well. The model also leads to energy dispersion relations in excellent agreement with first-principles results in the vicinity of the Fermi level. Approximate analytical $\stackrel{P\vec}{k}\ensuremath{\cdot}\stackrel{P\vec}{p}$ and effective mass expressions of the dispersion relations are also presented. Finally, the electron-phonon coupling constant is estimated to be $40\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}∕\mathrm{nm}$.
