John Denver wrote some great songs, he sang it as "Babe i have to Go" it was Peter, Paul and Mary who sang this version. Only 3 easy chords and the strumming pattern to remember. Why can't all songs be this easy? i will attempt to master all 3 options. Thanks for another easy one Lauren🙂
I am grateful for you teaching this song. Growing up, my folks were huge PPM fans and we listened to them a lot. The memories invoked hearing it are golden. Now, I can learn to play it thanks to you!
That was the first song I learned as a young un. It's a great choice because it's a good base to expand upon . The G progression eliminates the need for bar chords that frustrate beginners. Nicely done.
Saving pennies for your instruction system. You teach and play very well and you give the hope to us. I get down on myself and try to play too hard of songs just because I like them. You select great songs that we can do. Love your work. You still sing like a bird.
Wow Lauren you have done it again sung a complete song. I found this one nice and easy, But had to play the video twice just sat and listen to your voice loved it. I have listened to most of your video's great tuition. Best wishes Ken xxx
This is the best guitar video I have ever seen for players with moderate experience. I learned specifically what I have been doing wrong for 30 years! You are the best guitar teacher I have ever seen on video or in person. 😀
Nice, my mom lived this song, she played it on the piano when I was little and would be very happy to know that I am adding it to my Learning to Play list. Thanks so much! You are terriffic!!
Love the way you teach Lauren. Been at it for about twelve months. It’s slow progress but thanks to you I think I’m improving and agree with one of your fans comments here. The best teacher on RUclips. (Mike. Down here in New Zealand)🤗🤗
Another awesome John Denver song! Thank you for sharing your tutorial on this one. I’m working on this with my 12 string. You are the best teacher on RUclips.
Way to start the year. I picked up my guitar that has been sitting in my closet. Thanks for the quick strum tutorial. Now I feel I could learn more from you. Thanks so much perfect timing!
I love this song and it was the 1st song I asked my in person teacher to show me how to play. Totally different chords, and I also learned another lesson. I thought from you? A D E. But I'm actually loving this version the Best!! Thanks Lauren. These easy lessons make me feel good and motivated to play more!! 👍😊
Having fun playing this song, which is one of my favourites. Saw on YT Denver and Cass performing this. I noticed that Denver was changing from a 4 finger C chord to a four finger G ( I look it up and it seem to be a G add 11) by just moving two fingers (3 and 4). Your two finger chords for C and G are great, but this variant is easier on chord changes than the standard and produce IMO a cooler sound. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
Yes, Denver did a lot of chord variations. For example, I was working on Rocky Mountain high yesterday and he runs up the fretboard for the G and A vs playing the regular open chords.
Lauren, I’m catching up on some of your older videos like this one. This is great teaching. Specifically, I find it helpful to watch you play and sing the entire song. I’m a player who is just beginning to improve on singing while I play. It’s still pretty difficult, but there is some progress. For whatever reason, it works better for me than if you just said “this is the chord progression for both the verse and the chorus.” Thank you.
Come in for my late night meal break at work , feeling tired and not in a good mood . After watching 2 of your videos , that's all changed now ! Great stuff Lauren ! ( I better get back to work ) ;)
Thank you! I have so wished that you would play the song at the beginning or ending of your lessons. It becomes motivational to me to see how you make it sound. It makes me think that I can do it that way too. And I get my guitar and work with it.
I cannot express how oh so grateful I am to have stumbled on your channel. You are extremely helpful for a beginner like myself from singing the notes as you are strumming to showing the strumming pattern in a graphic on your video. I was getting so discouraged and then I found this to relight my determination I subscribed and will support!❤
Good morning 🙂 I hope you don't mind I did a quick screen record just so I can watch your finger movement on the cords I find it helps me memorize easier. I switched to a classic guitar and it sounds so different to the other I was learning on.. But I'm definitely improving alot in the month I've been playing. I think at least lol. Thanks for another fun song to add to my practice list, Have a blessed rest of your week 🙂
@@LaurenBateman some off those are $2500 plus the lens. Crazy tech. Does make some high end displays. You'll also need basically a High End Gaming Configured CPU to handle the math of video editing.
@@LaurenBateman I feel better knowing I am not alone in spelling 😂! I think spelling the names of chords is impossible to misspell them, so I can pass that test!😂! You are an awesome instructor so no need to worry about spelling there. 👍 Thank you for what you do!
@@LaurenBateman thank you for your confidence Lauren! Is it o.k. to subscribe to. your channel your instruction is very good 👍. Your so pretty it's hard to concentrate! 🌺 I'll take your advice.
Lauren your tutorials are great found you when looking for falling slowly and your tutorial was the best to get my head round with multiple versions out there.. can i ask you f you can do more Ed Sheeran particularly , Supermarket flowers and small bump.
Thank you, Alan for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
Hi Lauren. I really enjoy you videos. Thank you. One thing I find hard to get info on anywhere on youtube is when strumming which strings are being strum for each cord. Also when up strumming for say a g cord to you up strum all 6 cords. I try to see what you and others are strumming but it doesn't look like you are strumming all strings.
@@LaurenBateman ok great thanks Lauren. How about the down stroke on strumming do you always strum starting from the base string . for example c chord from 5 string, D from 4th, G from 6th and do you always strum all strings below the base chord when strumming down? Thanks Rick
Such a helpful and fun lesson! I love those strum patterns! Another tab had the chords as AD&E. Is that just in another key? Just curious. Both sound great!
Lauren, I really need advice on strumming,right now, I'm terrible, I'm a senior citizen (66), been doing this since 10/2019...should be further along, it's a bit disappointing, please provide feedback, God bless you.
Do a search for Lauren Bateman strumming. I have lots of videos on strumming that you might find helpful. My biggest advice in the beginning is to go slow and keep it simple
My style is cringe for you, I cant hit the strings at the right time. I blur the cords and I turn every song into a lullaby because I slow it down. BUT, changing it to what I can do feels too good to stop.

Yes I have another version that uses A, D and E

Love this video, just wondering do you have a video for Monsters by James Blunt??
Hi Barry, thanks. I do not have a video on that one.
I am Not Sure, but the third pattern sounds more like 1D 2 +p 3 +p 4p? Still, lovely Song!
I'm I'd had to look at the strumming. I use 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e+a for 16th note strumming

What lessons do you have that you play the Gretsch?
Not many. I need might use it for my blues guitar course
My style is cringe for you, I cant hit the strings at the right time. I blur the cords and I turn every song into a lullaby because I slow it down. BUT, changing it to what I can do feels too good to stop.
That's OK if you start slow. That's always what I recommend. Speed will come with time.
What's the easiest strum for this song ?
Easiest is 4 down strums per chord. Next after that would be:
1 2 3 + 4
