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.
My wife and I are in our 70's. This song has always meaningful to us. I still get a little lump in the throat hearing it. I hope to surprise her by playing it some day. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky (LOL). Great lesson. THANKS!
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!
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.
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.
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
I am a beginner,I'm a Filipino,I'm 52 yrs old,and I have a twisted ring finger, but the way you teach,I can get it easyly, constant practice I can make it clean, thank you Lauren
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.
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 the tutorial...this is the song my instructor assigned me after our first lesson. I'm still in the beginning stages, and I would have appreciated watching you play the entire song after breaking down each part & indicating how each part should be played.
Support this, this is a very awesome way to actually know that women need to be to find interest in creating something to know that they valued to as well as men are struggling and are looking for ways to find better jobs and not looking at one option or idea only, so yeah thanks for making this video, this encourage those who think that are not worthy of proving and exercise the power of choice, a chance to choose ❤️❤️❤️💯💪 much love. Cheers
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.
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. 🙏🙏🙏

Great job Lauren I like all the strumming patterns but as beginner I like the DDDUD you rock as always as you also look beautiful tonight 😎🎸🎶
Thanks so much!!
Lauren, Thanks for posting. It seems easy enough and would sound great on an electric :) I'm one of your students :)
Hi Chris! Yes it would sound great on an electric
The electric would have to be a Black Strat.
@@Barbarapape Haha...like Eric's "Blackie." I play it on a Butterscotch Blonde telecaster. :)
@@mmccartney6579 I play it on a Candy Apple Red Strat, it's a great
classic tune that sounds good on any electric guitar.
@@Barbarapape You said it, mate! Cheers! :)
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.
Glad to hear you're OK 🙏🙏🙏
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. 🙏🙏🙏
Rock on!
