I agree the best one I have found teaching video guitar. I just can't hear her well. And another thing I'm trying to hear the strumming sounds and she's counting over n over I need to hear it to please... Thank You ❤️
I love the way you are teaching I have wanted to play for many years but was not able to find a teacher I felt comfortable with till I came across you thank you you are beautiful
There’s a lot of guitars tuition on RUclips and I jumped around quite a few untilI I found Lauren who has the clearest messaging that is delivered with empathy for a newbie. You have to put the time in obviously but I’ve improved so much in just a week.
Hi Lauren! I can personally vouch for the idea that trusting your ear really works. A neighbor of mine invited me over to his house one time and told me to bring my guitar. Quite honestly, I panicked because I'm not really skilled enough to be able to perform. What he did turned out to be a fantastic learning experience for me. He played about ten songs (the original recordings) for me and asked me to play along to the best of my ability. I had never heard most of them before but he encouraged me to find the melodies just by "feeling" how the notes were going (in other words, training my ear). By about the third song, I found -- much to my amazement -- that I was actually able to do it!
It's a huge sense of accomplishment when you are actually able ( through muscle memory) to switch between cords smoothly and not look.. And dropping in a new chord.. "practice practice practice" I have found that to be so fulfilling.... Thanks Teach... 🍎
Lauren, I am bouncing between your course and these videos on U-tube this instruction between G and C is exactly what I needed. It may look like I am not progressing in the course but I am practicing on the cord changes and strumming patterns. Having trouble as my brain wants to invent a whole different strumming pattern.
That finger exercise changed EVERYTHING! I had to manually move my ring finger when I started it a month ago. I do it everyday before I practice. And while it’s still a little stubborn, it’s moving on it’s own!
whle roughly an intermediate player I benefit a lot from this as I am selftaught and never knew the precise details. Now I do and it is really helpful. Back in the days (last century) guitar education wasn't that educational for people like me who didn't immediately grasp what happened
Praise god for blessing you with the talant to teach all age group with well planned and lessions in a perfect manner with good demo and repeated practice any one can understand and learn, the best tutorial i have come accross, Thanks for teaching so nicely ,God bless your school. Regards
Have surfed you tube teaching myself guitar. 50 plus guy entering into a new phase, :). Your video’s click with me the best. Thank you! I can now play a bit and enjoying the venture!
Wow😀 you read my mine on what issues I’m having. Still trying to learn your beginner lesson for Knocking on Heavens Door. I’m close, just the chord timing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Keep up the good work Aaron. Are you a member of my online guitar course program yet? There's lots of good information on chords, strumming and picking. Check it out: www.laurenbateman.com/beginner-guitar-course
I really needed help on this. I could've sworn that I was practicing this not to long ago and I had this same problem. I gotta say that you're really like hands down the best guitar teacher I've seen teach here on RUclips God bless you! I've had one problem on how much pressure to put on the guitar string when changing chords I was gonna ask could you make a video on how to do that.
Wow!! I didn't realize you could actually see me practicing and struggling with these issues. Thank you for coming to my rescue with these wonderful tips.
Omg I do all of those things and am not getting anywhere! Thanks for the tips! As I watch more and more of your videos I think it is time to sign up for your course!
Ive been teaching myself in lockdown for 9 months now. Just found you today and have learnt so much already. Thank you so much, your lessons are a real game changer.
Your methods are an absoute gamechanger. I started learnig two moths ago and kept forming the chords one finger at a time which ofcourse meant messy chord switches. Started the finger pushups 4 days ago and its been the biggest help already. I see significant improvements in forming chord shapes and switching between them while playing. Its been so useful i've made it a part of my daily warmup and intend to keep it that way. Thank you, you're one of the best teachers so glad I came across your channel!!
Hey Pritesh, that's fantastic. I'm glad that you found this super helpful. If you arre struggling with your strumming, check out these videos: Simple guitar strumming patterns: ruclips.net/video/GrvgzfDOJdQ/видео.html How to improve timing and up strums: ruclips.net/video/8__uTiENRBY/видео.html
Been playing for just under two months. You seem to know exaclty what I need at the right time !! Been wondeirng how to get rid of that terrible little break we beginners take between cords. Now I have someting to work on this week !!! Btw, I am 55 and I WILL master this !! With help like this I can see that I am gonna get there !!
Lauren you are amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I'm from India and just started learning from one of the academy here .. your vedios is a booster and you share great tips .. which is working great for me 🙏🙏🙏 thanks sooo much ...
This is good stuff! You're a great teacher! One of the best I've come across. I'm starting to get my desire and motivation back that I lost this year. Going to start practicing again for sure!
These videos are helping me so much and make me feel more confident in my playing (even though I sound terrible right now haha). In just two weeks of doing the exercises and chord videos my playing has improved a lot and I always try to fit playing time into my busy day so I can improve even more. I had a previous instructor who had 2 degrees in music, but not the understanding and patience and expected me to already be playing due to me having played the clarinet for years. Thank you for being patient with those of us who are just starting out with guitar. It means a lot!
Do you know why you don't have more subscribers? Me neither. Thank you, Lauren, for some great tips. It was pointed out to me that the 'hang' during chord changes absolutely *kills* musicality... way more than a wrong note will. You just demonstrated that perfectly.
Thank you so much for ALL your brilliant lessons Lauren. - I've only this week discovered you exist! Have been learning guitar for the past year (starting as an absolute beginner), and hands down you are the best teacher I've come across! I feel much more confident that I'll make faster progress from now on...
Thank you Lauren. As always you have such helping information. I also enjoyed the session on the guitar straps. I went out immediately to get me one. Keep safe.
Your awesome, the tips you give in all your videos are fantastic!! Thank you so much for helping us get better at playing guitar. I have found instant improvement when I apply your tips. Thank you so much. I recommend anyone wanting to improve the different courses on offer are really fantastic!!
Hi Lauren, I’m a newbie to the guitar … one week in …. I’m on the cusp of selecting which online teacher I want to go with and it’s a tough decision. I watch way more of your videos than anyone else. Thank you. So my question … are your videos indicative of your online course? The same detail? Pace? Thank you.
I really like your tips. I am a 69 year old beginner, and although most of my chord changes are OK, I have trouble with the dreaded "F maj" chord. My barre finger is not too strong, and the other variations include repositioning the guitar in my lap, raising the neck of the guitar. Anything easier?
@@LaurenBateman i was hoping you could do a favorite song of mine .by moe brandy called a picture in a frame. I'd like to be able to play it on my guitar.
Greetings I love your RUclips segments and I'm very interested in your course..I have a question. if I enroll on your course and you have songs such as I see in your lessons can I get a printable song with the chords included? I hang out with a group of people that meet twice a month and play whatever anyone contributes. Most have UG and I believe the info can be modified but I don't have your songs and your chords.

Awww so glad you found me!

If you have a good ear, it's a great tool to use!
It's a huge sense of accomplishment when you are actually able ( through muscle memory) to switch between cords smoothly and not look..
And dropping in a new chord.. "practice practice practice"
I have found that to be so fulfilling....
Thanks Teach... 🍎
Hey Zayne, thank you so much. That makes me so happy that my lessons helped you.

Samuel, the C to G can be a pain. Totally normal. You got this my friend.
