U are very wonderful with passionate Kind heart..God Bless u Always. I wonder can learning& playing Guitars better After Watching Yr Video.Thank you very much.Greeting from Hong kong. I m 41 Years Old But After Watching This Video I m Became Very Excited Again To Learn More About the Guitar.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Zane Elisha instablaster ;)
@Chaim Larry thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love this girl! I'm 76 years young and this content is a Godsend in so many ways. Thank you so much!
Aww thank you so much John
With you here im 71!!
I’m with you also. 60 here
I’m amazed at the quality of this instruction. Spot on. Best advice on RUclips
Woman or lady… not a “girl”.
Im 63 years old and been going through cancer.you have been so loveing and caring in all you have said.. I thank you .tears of joy of encouragement
Hey Michael that's awesome. So happy to help you 😃
Real teachers are extremely rare. And you are one. Thank you.
Aww that means so much. Thank you!
I'm 76 and just learning guitar and I've gotten more encouragement from this video than from a dozen other videos listed on you tube. Thanks Lauren
Aww Joe that makes me so happy. I sincerely love helping students play guitar.
Mr. Proctor,
As a paralyzed disabled veteran at 53 who played in high school, I'm having to start all over myself. If you're a military man, discipline, patience, and have a little fun with it. It's really great you're getting into this Sir. As you see, I know my manners well. And this young lady is fantastic. I've learned more from here than I did in high school and I got good grades for playing. Please keep up the good job. What's helped me is to find someone else who also wants to learn, and after you've practiced enough, to teach them what you've learned.
My Dad is 75 this year, a stroke survivor, and music pastor. He has played since he was 10. I have possession of his MOM'S old Gibson ES125, and am into Grady Martin's stuff for Marty Robbins. 'Little Green Valley' is a favorite! I will be your age before I master 'Cottonwood Tree'!
@@w.allencaddell6421 Mr. Caddell, my Papaw was USN during WW2 (Leyte, Manilla, etc). I'm learning ---starting over after music school!!! If I, at 20-50 corrected, can fumble through Marty Robbins ballads, y'all got this! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓️🔱
Lauren, you are a very good teacher, I'm thankful that you want to help us older guitar players. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome Greg!
Lauren I absolutely enjoy your style of teaching, it's always positive and upbeat. I'm starting at 55. I truly believe that anyone can play as well. Music is a gift that gives to everyone, listen,play, or create, it always makes your soul happy!!!
Thanks for watching!
I had no idea there were so many students my age or much older learning guitar, and it is such an encouragement to me! Lauren I want to commend you because you care enough to amplify these lessons and make learning the guitar easy and fun. You dot every i and cross every t, these are great tips and I'm improving, little by little. THANK YOU SO MUCH, anyone can teach, but very few actually CARE and are willing to work with students to help them accomplish their goals and you are one of a kind!
David you're so welcome. I love my older students. You're music is so much better 😎😉
I only started 6 years ago when I was 44. I stopped playing last year when my Dog passed, but now I want to get back to it. Thank god for patient teachers like this because when I started I went to lessons for a few years & the teachers had no patience at all. I was so frustrated wanting to learn chords etc.
Lauren has been so helpful in helping me to begin leading worship at my church. I’m 62 years old and in about 4 months she helped me refine the skills I had from taking lessons over 15 years ago. I am so appreciative!
So happy to have you as a student Pam. It's been great watching your growth over the year.
Thank you for such a genuine caring personality and an intuitive way of teaching and relaying instructions.
I am a very small framed, 63 year old man battling a Parkinson’s related disease called Oromandibular Dystonia that has taken away most of my ability to speak and chew and swallow, my neurologist has said that learning to play an instrument like a guitar could possibly help heal the nerves and synopses in my brain.
I plan to try and invest more time in learning to play, thank you and God Bless You.
Btw....you write so well.... you should consider doing it more often. Share what you going through. I will follow you
George, so glad to have you!
@@pilotactor777, oh my goodness gracious, thank you very much for your kind words, a few of those and many prayers have been what has gotten me through the past few years since these dystonia started and my wife left me !!!
Prayers and my faith and believing God has been there and still has a plan for what is left of my life, again thank you !!!
God Bless You !!!
@@LaurenBateman, thank you so very much for responding, please keep sharing your gifts from God, your talent, hard work, compassion and passion for music and teaching and giving of yourself to others, God Bless You !!!
You have an amazing personality and heart ❤️ !!!
@@gltam1057 day by day. George. Every day just being alive is a miracle. I dont believe in God so I try to take it as it comes. When my mum was dying of cancer ( she was a strong believer) she told me to find a rainbow every day. 🌈☀️🌠
You are amazing Lauren. When most people give up on the older generation because they think we are a waste of time and unable to do very much, you are a bright shining light we have been looking for.
Thank you for explaining things so clearly and allowing us to believe in you and your teaching method.
I have just turned 67, been learning for 10 days and really enjoying the journey with your teaching skills
Tyrone, I always loved my older students. They were so dedicated. Plus, you have better music. 😎
I am a doctor in Mauritius graduated from Bordeaux,France and i started last year at age of 61.after 6 months i started playing and singing .I am doing well and having fun,impressing my friends and public.
I follow and like your lessons on RUclips.thanks.
Hey Imrith, that's awesome. So happy I was able to help 😃
I am 72 years old. I have picked up my acoustic guitar many times over the last 50 years. I’ve given up every time. Your video has given me the confidence to continue playing as bad as I do and maybe I’ll get past this stage. So many of your points describe what I’m going through as if you watched me. Thank you.
Jesse, I'm so happy to help! My oldest student is 92 so you got plenty of time!
Yup. Feel the same. Keep it up.
@@pilotactor777 a Joyful Noise always makes for a Better Day!! 🙏🌷
Lauren your an excellent & inspiring teacher I know one day I’m going to transition cords without even thinking & go “what did I just do that was almost perfect?” 😊
Thank you very much :) I know you can do it!
Lauren ! You are an awesome teacher !!… I’m 72 with Parkinson’s and was about to give up … but you’ve inspired me to keep trying and your tips and advice are without equal!!
You can do it!
Man I feel for you I know what you are going through I'm 56 and I have Pasrkinsons myself my problem is the shaking and sometime when you are trying to hit just that one string. I wish you well and good luck my friend don't let it get you down I don't let get me .I WISH YOU WELL AND A LONG HAPPY AND HOPEFUlly not to much problems with your parkinsons I will pray for you.
What a humble person. We are all different and learn at different rates. Clean and understandable. See you again tomorrow.
Absolutely!
Almost 60 years old, got my first guitar, lauren is my chosen teacher, I'm starting to make basic music already, finger tips really are really sore, can't wait to get back to practice,
Michael thank you so much. An honor to teach you.
How to get rid of pains from finger tips?
This woman is a true teacher. As a professional guitarist & victim of a stroke I am determined to play well again. Lauren is a Godsend. She's a truly talented teacher. I'm not ready to try playing in front of my friends or anyone at this point but I feel more & more motivated as I watch each lesson. Bless you Lauren. You are helping someone return to their life's passion.🌹
You got this George!
I'm almost 65 (January) and I just bought myself a concert (I also have tiny hands) guitar as an early birthday present for myself and I find your videos really, helpful and encouraging. Once I get my basics down and improve my dexterity I will deffo be looking at your lessons. I consider this to be the warm up period. Thank you
Have fun!
I've been watching her video for a month or two. She is very good when teaching. I took banjo lessons for years. But this way is great to learn and I'm 60
hi Lauren im 70 this year i am a guitarist in a band and i love the way you teach especially the older students so carry on the great work fantastic
Thanks Peter!!!
I’m not an older student (late 20s), but have nerve and tendon damage in my left hand, so learning has been a little slower than it has been for my peers, this video was very helpful, thanks! Wish I had a teacher like you in my area.
You can do it!
Inspirational lesson for us old dudes! Thanks for such another well thought out and thoughtful lesson.
My pleasure!
The queen of you tube guitar instruction. ABSOLUTELY nothing more need be said.
Aww thank you!!!!!
@@LaurenBateman You are extremely good at your craft in many ways and I get to benefit. `FACT`
Lauren . . . . I'm 77 and just starting out. I paid a young man who was well intentioned but really had never worked with anyone near my age. I met with him once a week for four weeks but he really had nothing to offer me. He only served as a motivator in that I felt I needed to show some improvement when I saw him every saturday. if you lived closer, I would hire you in a heartbeat.
Aww thank you. I do have a course. Many of my students claim it's better than their in person lessons.

You are so amazing Lauren💜. You definitely have the gift of teaching and such a beautiful lady to boot!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Lauren! Because I'm 76 with arthritic fingers, I've been mad at myself for not learning sooner and had given up my dream of ever learning . Your approach is perfect for us older folks - you've given me renewed hope and incentive!
You can do it!
You’re a good teacher. I’m just fifty one years old. I like learn to play guitar for my fun.
Love it!
Hi Lauren, I’m so happy to meet you here because I’m a 65 year old man and just begun to learn guitar! I love your lessons!!
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for your encouragement and your kind words! I'm 57 and just started learning again after 35 years. Yes my hands hurt a lot but I won't give up this time. Great job!
You can do it! Don't give up Edward.
I can see where I'm going to be watching a lot of your videos.
You seem to be the teacher everyone wants to learn under. Great stuff, and thanks for the help.
Aww thanks. Welcome to the channel!
I had a teacher that discouraged me in my 30s. I'm 58 and you have motivated me to try again.
You've got this!!!!!
I'm 70, and an avid golfer. When Covid hit, I decided to learn something new... Guitar! I began my guitar learning with a local shop owner who sings like John Denver and can play cowboy chords and sing amazing. After 7 months he sent me to a different teacher because I was asking things he didn't do himself like Travis Picking, or Music theory. I now have a very well classically trained teacher who hammers Music Theory and plays Jazz, and loves the Beatles. (which are all over my head). So I spend a lot of time on the Internet learning from great teachers like you. I have learned a bunch of new songs and am working on Travis Picking with your videos. You are in a class by yourself when it comes to breaking down hard things and teaching them. I am active on your FB channel and in your 7 level class, but your "How to" videos are SOOO helpful. Thanks for your hard work and insight. (Ps Saw that new guitar!! I still love you Crafter, and you can make such great tone with it. And for all you who think 70 is too old, I have passed my 2 grandsons ages 13 and 16 who started before me but only do Rock guitar riffs. It requires a lot of practice and dedication. Lauren will get the most out of your practice... which is the secret to learning at our age. Probably at any age...
Darth, wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am happy to accompany your lessons with your teacher. Glad that they are working for you and helping. Thanks for being a great student.
I bless you everyday! I took lessons years ago. Just turned 60 and because of you, I have started to pick up the guitar and practice again. Please don't stop posting. Your videos are so educational, and your teaching demeanor is simply amazing!
Thank you so very much for giving so much to so many !
Thank you so much. Glad I was able to help 😃
Hey also from Boston here.. but I really do love how you simplify the chords. It really does help to get muscle memory and repetition as you Progress .I watched alot of guiter tutorials and no one has ever introduced that. Great videos! your a great teacher
Glad you like them!
I am 64 but look at your advice is so simple. I feel hppy and more confident.
Wonderful! Glad I was able to help
Lauren I am taking your 7 level Beginners Course and love it. I am 51 and have been a beginner for 20 years. Product from jumping all around youtube and getting too much information and then getting down when I can't play those things. I like your short chunks of information and your encouraging demeanor. Just when I get a little disappointed you come around with a video like this!!! 🙂
That's fantastic Rachel. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.
Great tips. I'm 62 and just started a week ago. I have found the 3 finger chords near impossible...but now I am going to concentrate on your 2 finger chords and increase my confidence and I just know that this is the best approach.
Thanks Lauren....Cheers.
Rock on!
Lauren, your comments are right on for older players. I’ve purchased several learn to play courses and while they teach the basics they seem to focus on making their students rock stars. Your right 71 year old fingers and reflexes don’t move like a 21 year old and you need to have fun by playing simpler songs. Reality to me is small hands with rather fat fingertips make playing a challenge but by focusing on what you can do is positive and fun. “Enjoy the journey”
You got this Fred, Enjoy the journey 😃
Thanks Lauren for posting this , it's these videos that keep me focused and from getting frustrated . You are awesome as always .:)
Oh awesome!
I'm not an older student but I've been feeling very demotivated lately. I needed to hear this, thank you so much for the words of encouragement:-)
You got this!
Where have you been all of our lives?!!? Thank you so much for your amazing way of teaching us! My older brother played years ago until an accident that left him handicap. Long long story short, I found you and now we are learning together ❤ Thank you!
I am glad to help!
Wow! You really connected with me with this 7 tips video.
Having raced motorcycles for many years. I know the importance of equipment "SETUP."
THAT tip alone will help 99% of beginning guitarists... don't ask me how I know.
Rock on Tom. I never raced, but I did drive a motorcycle for many years.
Lauren is an excellent teacher. I have learned so much from her. She makes the process of learning guitar fun.
Awesome! Thank you 😃
Every one of the 7 tips is golden. Thank you Lauren. I wish I had known them earlier (I'm an "intermediate" beginner, I guess, now trying to cross barre chord hurdle). I would just add: play the songs you love. As soon as I learned chords in the key G, I started learning the song, "Country Roads, Take Me Home" (with Fmaj7 version), which I first listened to over short-wave radio from Voice of America, forbidden at the time in China (taking about older learners, lol). I had tears in my eyes the first time I could play through the whole song. That's what keeps me going.
You're so welcome!
Tip #7 really hit home with me. I had a younger teacher who I think was intimidated by my previous music experience in other instruments. I STILL NEEDED HELP! Looking back on it now, I realize he was just a really bad teacher, but changed to someone else who basically tested me on what I already knew and then went from there. It was such a difference and I learned more in 6 weeks than I had with the prior teacher in 6 months.
It's important to find the right fit.
Many thanks, I am 76 and have just picked up a guitar for the first time and your video has given me a lot of encouragement. I need it.
You can do it!
Thank you so much. This was sooo helpful ~ putting everything into perspective. I feel more mentally, emotionally & even physically relaxed now. You are very encouraging and motivating. Thank you very much! ❤️😊
You're welcome Brenda. Glad it helped!
As an old timer myself I wished I`d knowd about these tips before! I started pickin the banjer because its much easier on the fingers since their tuned to open tunings (which you can do on guitar as well btw). You are a blessing to this world!
Awww thanks so much Dan!
Great lesson. I will be 72 years old and played guitar for about 30 years and stopped for around 20 years and just started playing again about three years ago. I appreciate your positive attitude. Interestingly, even after playing off and of for all these years, I still can't hit an F chord without barring it. Your strumming recommendations are terrific. I really never thought about how important that is. You mentioned you liked the music around my era. I don't know if you ever heard of Moby Grape. They were really good.
Joseph I have not. Will look I to them. I have many students who aren't able to do barre chords because of their arthritis. Fmaj7 works fine for me!
Thanks for the great information.
Your message of hope is a blessing, sweet lady
Thank you so much!
Approaching 80. Played guitar since teenage. Until now working on chords and theories and where it should fit in a song. Yet am still poor in the styles of finger pickings and soloing and strummings. Your tutorials , tips and Systems is very helpful and it is not too late for me to catch up and make use of my retiring period & during the Pandemic . Will seriously follow the lessons on "finger picking" cause it will help me to play related songs especially to play it with our local songs here in the East. Thanks Lauren Bateman
It's never too late. Keep going!
Lauren, these are fantastic tips! Most of which I follow. I started my guitar playing journey when I turned 50. I just turned 57 and I'm just now starting to feel comfortable with my playing. The thing people need to keep in mind, it's a journey not a destination. Enjoy the learning process and don't be hard on yourself if you can't play something. Overtime, you will get to where you want to be. Although, I'm lucky not to have health issues such as arteritis, I warm up for 10 minute every time I practice by doing various "spider" exercises. Overtime, they make a huge difference. Things my fingers couldn't play a month ago now come so much easier. My speed and finger stretching has improved tremendously by just warming up the fingers before each practice. You are so right about repetition. As boring as it is and as short our attention spans can be sometimes, I've discovered this to be one of the most important things in my practice routine. Our brains and bodies are amazing. Your are absolutely correct when you say anyone at any age can learn to play. The trick is shutting up your inner critic that says you can't. One thing I might add if I may. You touched on it,. Based on my experience, this can't be overstated, take things SUPER SLOW. Like REALLY SLOW. I'm currently learning to play some blues licks. One of the licks has a three finger pull-off using fingers one, three, and four. I literary practiced it everyday by doing each pull-off one finger at a time each one for one beat at a super slow tempo. After a couple of weeks I can almost play it at speed. It can be frustrating, but you are so right. Take it one thing at a time. I may add, don't over practice what you already know how to play, and add something new every few practice sessions. I've been following your channel for a while, it has really helped me with my rhythm and strumming on the acoustic guitar. I know it takes a lot to create videos, so thank you for caring interest and effort to create these great lessons.
Rock on Mark! Sounds like you have a good plan. Go slow for sure. Glad you are enjoying your guitar journey and following this advice.
Fantastic vid Lauren, a 71 year old ex guitar player. You are most encouraging. Gave up 12 years ago after a 5 th car accident robbed me of the use of my ring finger and pinky on my left hand. Plan to get the old axe out and have a go again...I guess it's going to be a long process, but interested in using my index and middle finger....got to be done. Thanks for the encouragement. Kind regards from London.
Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry to hear that but glad you're inspired to play again.
Thanks for this encouraging and helpful video. As an older beginner with arthritis these step by step instructions and tips are awesome. The warm up was a missing step for me and it was so super helpful.
Glad it helped!!! Happy New Year!
Wow this is just what I've been looking for! I'm 56 and I don't plan to be a pro - ever! Still, the perfectionist in me appreciates the permission to take it easy and enjoy the ride! Your videos are so helpful. Thanks, Lauren. And you live in Boston - where I lived for 16 years. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Very inspirational video.
Being 56 and went back at guitar after 30 years at 50. the struggle is real!
But… just nitpicking: if you get 1% better every week, that’s 68% better after a year, mathematically speaking😊
Yes, yes, I know 😉 Most people aren't math people. 😎
Well I be darn!!! I never understood math @ all beyond the basics! Thank you for that 'lil equation, it's very encouraging!
A 50 year old here....just started and loving it!!!
Welcome aboard! Enjoy the guitar journey.
Great video Lauren. All 7 points give me great hope that I am progressing. Thank-you for sharing on your RUclips channel....so very helpful!
You're so welcome!
Lauren is cool and a pleasure to listen to.
Awww thank you!
Isn't she.. very nice
I agree. Garry UK
She's a good guitarist teacher... Very interesting lesson.
Thanks! 😃
Thank you Lauren for your videos and caring attitude. I'm 71 and have enrolled in your 7 level guitar course. It's has been a great help. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
I just stumbled across this lesson and REALLY grateful for it. I'm running out of months to be in my 70's and needed the boost to my confidence.
Bob you got this!!!!
If i found this channel a bit earlier i might have improve my guitar playing by now 👍
Renbi, it's NEVER too late to start.
Went through multiple you tubers till I found Lauren. Far and away the best.
Such thoughtful and helpful content. In my late fifties and took 3 years off due to a quiet ordinance in an apt. I was surprised by how much I lost skills. Lost a lot of flow in guitar like strumming and chord changes. Also, dexterity differences. Any tips on chord changes. I am slow with that and especially with Barre chords. I might place 2 finger placements of the positions but not all or miss the proper string etc.... And, I try rotating index finger to Barre but not there yet... Any videos on Barre chords and quicker chord changes and changes that involve barres? Thankyou for this great content, tips and strategies!!! So appreciated. Your passion for teaching and music is so inspiring! 🎸
Donna, so happy to help. Glad you are getting back into your guitar playing and happy to be part of your journey.
I am 67 started last May. Lauren's advice is right on! Thanks for making it simple. I do love this thing called "A guitar journey".
It IS a journey. You never know where it will take you either.
Speaking as a student of guitar and speaking from experience, tip #7 is HUGE.
"You say today's music is total crap"...MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!
Ha ha ha!!!
Thanks Lauren, this has given me a renewed motivation to keep going. I was obviously expecting too much.
Pierre, any time. One step at a time. You can't learn guitar overnight. But over the course of time you will get better with every practice session.
This is the most practical advice I've ever seen. Especially about structing a practice session. I'm a septuagenarian and this has absolutely encouraged me. I have been picking up and laying down the guitar for 20 years.
Aww thank you!
I started 6 years ago at the young age of 58. The best thing I did was tell myself that I would practice every day, even if for only 10 minutes. I also found that as strange as it sounds my muscle memory would kick in when I wasn't practicing. By that I mean I would practice for 30 minutes or so on a particular chord or picking pattern and struggle. I'd put the guitar down and come back an hour later and as if by magic my fingers knew what to do.
Frequency and repetition are actually more important than the amount of time. Those short sessions add up.
Their guitar teacher told them to play harmonica!?!😂😂😂😂
Sad but true.
Excellent !! There can not be anything better than this . Explanation was totally in very simplest terms and it was very clear. Great job.
So glad to hear that
Great instruction - very clear, no rush, plenty of practice and delivered with a good heart. Many thanks.
Aww thanks Robert. Glad to help.
Your a great teacher that gets what it takes to get better….and rushing doesn’t work! Thank you
You’re so welcome
Just found your channel and absolutely love it! I’ve put this off for far too long, but am determined this time. At 59, my hands aren’t what they used to be. Love these tips! Thank you
You got this!

Thank you, Lauren! As an older beginner (I'm curently 68) I started out celebrating every minor step forward. You have re-enforced that idea in me. (I do still stumble getting in and out of a "D" chord, however.) I love your videos.
You're so welcome!

Thank you so much Lauren for your encouragement. I'm 60 years old and trying to learn the guitar. You explain everything so nicely, so I have confidence that I will play maybe one song in about one year!! I will now enjoy your course and all your videos and have fun !! Thank you soooo much !!
