Im an old timer 'beginner' Lauren here in the UK. I bought my first steel strung folk guitar in 1983 yep a long time ago, but I gave up as I wasn't properly committed at age 25. So in 1985 I returned to the classical guitar this time with a few formal lessons, then again more recently when I bought another guitar ( an acoustic cut away Ibanez - a lovely thing) a couple years ago, as a present to me when I finally retired from my 9-5 job. I have to say as an 'older learner' I find you method of teaching really understandable for me because I was thinking I was just plain slow or even dim musically, my fingers dont always do what I want but I love the way you teach time and strum patterns together. I really appreciate your fret hand close ups....of all the teachers on line I find it really easy to comprehend the way you teach. Well done, I am hooked again YAY....and I am subscribed to your channel for sure ! Thankyou.
Brian, thank you for subscribing. So happy to have you watching the channel and learning from the lesson. Also, congratulations on your retirement! If you are looking for my blueprint to learning the guitar, definitely check out my 7 Level Guitar System: www.laurenbatemanguitar.com/courseyt Has all the exercises you need, print outs, play along lessons, etc. Would love to help you get that guitar singing.
Thank you for the lesson you explained the lesson so we'll I will definitely putting. This one in my practice routine love your channel and lesson they are helping me to sound like I am making music 😊🎸🎼🎶
Hi Lauren, Thanks for another great lesson from a great song. I love it. And I love the way you explain it, incuding the cool intro lick. Thanks to your lessons I got more fun in playing the guitar. I have bought myself an Ibanez S541 electric guitar so I hope you do more of these fantastic licks.
Beautiful song 🎶 Amazing lesson. So happy to get back to guitar practice learning songs. Was on pins and needles for Hurricane Ida on the right side of the storm.
Just subscribed, I like the way you talk about measures., how or when to count in to sing, it makes lot of sense to learn this way. Keep up the good stuff!
Hi from southern Spain, loving your lessons Lauren, the walk down was really cool, I’m looking forward to getting a black Lag Tramontane 118 for my sixtieth
Dear Lauren Thank you very much for your teaching. It´s great und you do it in a very special way so that´s possible to follow the examples. Lauren you are a great teacher! And this is a very nice tutorial! I never had a teacher so I started to play alone with songbooks and youtube. But your lessons make me get better because you explain the rythm and now i beginn to feel the music (sometimes without counting 1 2 3 4). Thank you so much again - and the best wishes from Austria.
Lauren, you are by far THE best RUclips guitar teacher I've watched so far. You take everything step by step in easy to understand "chunks" that makes it very easy for a beginner (like me) to understand. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!
Ma’am I just found you teaching I use to play, strum . Been looking for a coach to start trying to play again. Been more years than I can remember now I’m 68 and hoping to play some at least. Thank you!!!
I have seen many tutorials and yours are by far the best ones I have seen , very well explained and straight and to the point...thank you for sharing your knowlege
Thanks for that. I just learned my first lead lick! You know what they say.. so easy a drummer can do it. hurts my fingers though. That happens to be one of my favorite songs by Clapton
Hi Lauren just to say this 75 year old novice really enjoys what you do so expertly, my first ever post reply, just a relative novice but I am blessed to be able to learn, cant get out much but my new found learning the guitar is so helpful. Big thanks, hope you get this message, keep on and teaching us "oldies" as well as your many younger followers. Great joy. Archie.
Great lesson I would love how to play the style of Ray Lamontagne such a simple thing will be great Thank you for your good words and teaching I will keep trying to reach the next plateau where I may rest
There are so many positive things to say about you and you videos I don't know where to begin. I took person to person lessons for awhile and felt cheated. In just a few minutes of your videos and not only did learn something you have reinspired me and I am sure many others . Thank you Donny
Oh wow Donny! I'm sorry your in person lessons didn't work so well but I'm so glad to help. You should check out my course: www.laurenbatemanguitar.com/course
Hi Lauren. Thank U again. It has been one of my most favourite songs. And I practiced it, the first song ever, on guitar, today. Sometimes, the exhilaration is so much that I'm word stuck to express how I feel about the entire experience, which involves the 🎸, U, the song, your teaching, my learning & practice. And at last the miracle of me playing the song which, once upon a time, I used to consider it as a sheer fantasy. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Lauren, my wife and I used to see EC when he was in Cream when he played our local youth club. Been a fan for over 50 years, never thought I'd be able to play one of his numbers, until now. Your video lessons are great. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial, Lauren. I liked that you showed also different strumming patterns to play the song. If I may suggest, could you please also post a play along video like you did with the three little birds song?
I have modified this song keys for myself in such a way that in very key i apply walk down base and it really works. Thank you so much for the lesson and keep going 👍👍👍❤️
Lauren, Thank you SO much for your lessons ❤ I’m not learning fast….but I’m actually getting better! I noticed your Gretsch in the corner, I just got a Gretsch, Baritone, Jet Silver with Black Trim last week!! Immediately got my attention seeing yours!! I can’t see if it’s the standard or Baritone, or if you have mentioned it in a previous lesson, but I’d love to hear that one!! 😊 Thanks again, Chris
Hello there,thank you so much for sharing with us,this beautiful song,just finishing to learn playing the song and the missing part it was this solo,now,thanks to you,Im ready to play in Eric Clapton band😀
You're a really good teacher. I've been looking for an online course to use after I complete my community class starting in January and all the ones out there just seem like hype but watching your videos, I feel like not only can you play but you really can teach, breaking everything down for us beginners.
@@LaurenBateman thanks. I'm planning on purchasing your beginner course once I finish the class. I do have one question. it says we get access to you for 1 year, is that just you or do you just get access to the course for 1 year as well. I'm assuming it's just you but I'd rather ask and be clear about it.

Thanks for another great lesson Lauren.

Fantastic lesson yet again, tuning In from Ireland 🇮🇪
You're welcome!!!
