I almost gave up learning to play guitar.. I worked hard my whole life, my hands are rough and tough and big and fat fingers, stiff and not flexible..!! You got me over the hump…👍😊 I think you are the best teacher out there..!! Great personality..!! And really cute 😊 FYI You oddly even look more beautiful waring those glasses.. I felt that you should know..? Thank you much Lauren, you are my hero..👍🙏🏾
@@LaurenBateman… I like the video length, too. Enough time to teach without using filler topics. And … glasses denote strength and intelligence .. thanks Mark for the comment.
i should have pick the guitar long ago. my father growing up played the acoustic, he would play spanish romance to calm me down when i was little. where my love for the instrument started. love the classical, modern, well most genre. again thanks excellent ability in oration of your craft
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Major Beckett i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Come Across you on RUclips and watching your every tutorial.I can testify that you have made me play a guitar in a way I never though I could.You are Amazing thankyou So Much
I feel joy you responded so kindly. pretty much makes my day after a long , callous day at work in a rough and at times scary world. So inspiration from your teaching is relaxing and smart and is a secret weapon I like to use when confused. learned from a women. .. what do ya know!!! thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Lauren. It is a great lesson. One thing though. You have a loud distortion at 4:38. It was startling. It made me jump! Now I'm freaked out! LOL.
@@LaurenBateman You are new to me. I just thought a quick edit could fix it. It is fine with me. I'm just giving you the heads up. Thank you for making learning the guitar accessible for those who need a smart and simple start.
What a big help Lauren, I have not tackled Bar chords yet. Followed all your videos on the other chords and I can play those. Thank you so much. Going to check out your strumming video next.
Hi Lauren...Its Jamie. Still stalking you...😅... So my F#m G#m chords is down pretty good...at tempo Same with my FM7 Transition to Bm is good at fast tempo as well. Still muffing up my F# though! It's my middle finger, not the barre! Thanks for the lessons!! 🥰
I found your video on the “F” cords to be of great help right now.. I have been trying to use bar cords for about 6 months. I still have problems on first fret bar cords. I can do some on third fret on but still not great. I came across a uTube on bar cords and a comment was made on getting a guitar setup. I think that the action on my guitar might be too high. I have a Taylor auditorium and when I bought it I was told that there was no need to have it setup. Do you have any advice on the need for a setup?
Hi Norma, Sometimes lighter strings help too. Sometimes, a lower bridge helps to get the strings closer to the fret board which can make it easier to play.
I know I must seem like an idiot but I was looking at the wrong time indicator. If you are interested in the distortion problem start listening at 3:55. Sometimes I make mistakes I am not a millennial. Thanks. Your the best. Please don't respond. I'm already embarrassed by my mistake. Love you.
Lauren ....thank you so much ....it makes it so easy......but you forgot to tell us about exercises for the fingers to do these types of chords ..nevertheless ..thank you again !!
🎉🎶 I’ve just realized a problem that have. Listening, i get muddled when directions are verbal .. “move the finger DOWN.” Visualizing I’m not able to react because (for the purpose of illustration) I would go ACROSS on the finger chart. A little simple thing for me to remember Is down also means across. Walking and chewing gum can be challenging for me, too … lol, (self absorbed humor).

Hey, could you please make a video teaching the diminished chords?? Please please pleaseeeeeeeee
I don't use diminished chords that often. They don't show up in popular music a lot. In classical yes.
Wow super 🥰🥰
You got it!
Thanks!!!
Thank you.
You're welcome Joseph. :)
Hi Lauren...Its Jamie. Still stalking you...😅...

Same with my FM7

Dear sis you made it so easy but I also want to learn some strumming pattern . I wish if you can help me
Search Lauren Bateman strumming
What is the best way to build finger strength for the barre cords?
Finger push-ups. Squeeze and I squeeze the chord on the strings. No Strumming
Lauren ....thank you so much ....it makes it so easy......but you forgot to tell us about exercises for the fingers to do these types of chords ..nevertheless ..thank you again !!
ruclips.net/video/XctHeNixJDQ/видео.html
What type of chord or name would you call when you press down on low e second fret (f#?) And leave all other strings open and strum?
It would be a very funky name. Sorry music theory isn't my strong point so I would have to look it up.
If the bottom three strings on the second fret are F#m would the bottom three strings on the first fret be an easy fix for F?
No, that would be an F minor chord
@@LaurenBateman ahh true
Hi Lauren, Could we bar the first 3 strings on the second fret for F# minor?
Yes, you can
🌈🙋🙏-Wrote Notes
Aww well that means a lot. Thank you Brian.
Help me with the chords which I can use to play.oh let me walk with thee my God has Enoch did in days of old
Please how to play B chord ☕❤🦋
One of the hardest chords out there
🎉🎶 I’ve just realized a problem that have.

Thanks for watching!
major 7 chords sounds like the chord in Wild Fire.
Nice!
The F you say! There are no easy cords for this guy.
Well it's easier than the barre chord version.
👍

I hate bar chords. When I play , I prefer playing solos & licks
Whatever works 😀
@@LaurenBateman best way to learn ( at least it was for me ) is by improvising to the blues. That way you train your ear & get to know the neck & positions .
yes bar cord =impossible..
ugh
They are tricky, but the more you practice, the faster they come. This is a good work around but the full chord songs much better.
I love the song "Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen, but there is an F# minor chord, and it has to be finger picked. Yikes.
Ouch. Yeah, work your way up to it
F? lol
Yeah, the easy version. Not the full barre chord version.
Thank you Laura!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you 🙏
Welcome!
This helped so much thank you!!
Any time
Thank you.
