    I have been wanting to learn guitar for years. The way you teach is amazing. I have never been patient with myself. Never able to focus on learning the guitar . The way you simplify things and your step by step guide and tutorial lessons are so easy to follow. Im up to lesson 7 of your crash course but going to take your advise and just practice the first 6 lessons over the next couple of days before attempting lesson 7 onwards. So glad I have stumbled across you on RUclips and have subscribed to your beginner lessons
    Thank You😃

    Just started Lauren's 7 Level System a few weeks ago, she is a phenomenal instructor. She gets you through the rough spots with great lessons and techniques, and she is so easy to watch and follow along with. Great balance of hard work and playing enjoyment. Better than in person teaching, take in and use as as much or as little as you want (set any pace). She's got all the bases covered. I've never been more comfortable and capable on the guitar. Many thanks Lauren.

    Thank you so much for your patient and caring way of teaching. It means the world to me. I'm 41 years old, but I have multiple disabilities that no longer allow me to work. I picked up a guitar last June, and it, along with your lessons, have quite literally saved my life. I have a renewed hope and joy for life. You've made more of a difference than you'll ever know. God Bless and Merry Christmas. ❤️

    Lauren this is a fantastic video. I look forward to the time when I can play a few of these. I have improved on moving between the Em and D6/9 and rhythm…I am so glad I found you. The way your course of study takes us step by step is so encouraging to me. It’s amazing how many songs can be played with so few chords. Thanks again.

    Lauren, my guitar teacher has been teaching me music theory - a LOT of it. I finally applied it. I just broke down "Treacherous" by Taylor Swift. I heard it and thought it was the most complex song imaginable. Well, key of D. A classic D chord progression. Simple melody. Often repeating the same notes over and over again. I could not believe it. Not even a key change. HOW does she do it! She can take three notes or so and makes it a masterpiece. It's amazing how many songs use simple chords and simple chord progressions and make it sound like this complex symphony. Thank you for your work and your teaching style!

    Hi Lauren. I really like your style of breaking songs into simple chunks and making things easy to follow. I feel i have picked up really useful tips although i am still very much a beginner. I can see quite a few songs on your "lists" that i can see will be fun to tackle. it also struck me on browsing RUclips I have seen a few lessons by other tutors and some of the songs they have covered, I think you would be able to put over a bit more effectively ( Or add a little more spice to) if it is of interest, a few of these songs include. "Candy" by Paolo Nutini. "Maybe Tomorrow" by Stereophonics, "Chicken Fried" by Zak Brown Band and "All These things That I've Done" by The Killers. Keep up the good work, I love it.

    • @LaurenBateman

    Hey Lauren I have found another great song for beginners to play on the guitar ! the song is called "Rock And Roll Music" by the Beatles from the 60's ! The song is a 12 bar blues format song following the 1 , 4 and 5 chord progression pattern and the song only has 3 chords in it, A, D and E ! or if you wanna do a much more blusey version of this song you could do chords A7, D7 and E7 dominant chords ! lol :) i am learning that song right now and i am learning some cool riffs and am learning scales and arpegios so that i can perform some cool solos ! lol :)
