    This video is the first guitar lesson for absolute beginners. Even if you've been popping around RUclips for a while, you might find some helpful tips in this video. Most first guitar lessons on RUclips start you too far along in the process. The goal of your first guitar lesson is to build confidence and give you a solid foundation.
    That's why in my first guitar lessons for absolute beginners I show you exactly what I teach most of my students in their first guitar lessons with me. 1. How to navigate the strings 2. How to navigate the frets 3. How to builds chords and 4. How to put them together and strum them to start learning songs.
    You will be learning about the left hand, the right hand, chords, strumming and so much more.
    After my first guitar lesson for absolute beginners, you will have the tools needed to learn hundreds of songs. Some of those songs can be found on my website at: www.laurenbateman.com/beginne...
    But here is a list of a few of the songs you can learn with my special beginner guitar chords:
    Bryan, Luke - Drink A Beer
    Chapman, Tracy - Talking About A Revolution
    Clapton, Eric - Wonderful Tonight
    Cranberries, The - Zombie
    Lynard Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
    Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See
    Osborne, Joan - What If God Was One Of Us
    Pink - A Million Dreams
    Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
    Rucker, Darius - Wagon Wheel
    Sheeran, Ed - Perfect
    Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
    Young, Neil - Heart Of Gold
    Just to name a very limited few songs that you will have access to after my first guitar lesson for absolute beginners.
    Here are the chapters for my First Guitar Lesson for absolute beginners video:

  • @robertshorthill4153

    A tip to build callouses: don't even pick up a pick. Fret these strings every day for a comfortable length of time, even more as your fingers get used to it, thereby getting some toughen finger tips. I have a little something I use between picking up my guitar and mandolin, but it's not necessary for a beginner to get familiar with holding the instrument. After a period of time, talking small breaks doing other things, maybe, you should notice it gets easier to fret those notes. Use your pinky as well, because you will use it more often than is presented here. Watch other better guitar players to see what I mean. Then get your pick and hit a few notes from the first frets in as many places up the neck to get the feel with your left hand. You will notice that the notes get higher in pitch the further toward the sound hole you go. Use that pinky too. Try to reach to the next fret, skipping the adjacent fret. That pinky finger will come in handy in the future as you get better with guitar, or mandolin. Cheers, and good luck. Bob

    Among the many things I truly like about your teaching strategy or techniques is the fact that.you erase the myth that it's hard to learn how to play the guitar.
    By having learned just those simple cords you've thought me, I'm having such a good time playing a bunch of songs such as. "A horse with no name" and "stand by me" . I'm also learning "California dreamin" and your advice about avoiding or substituting the barred cords helped a lot.
    The definition of true master is someone that makes something look easy. And, that,dear master, is you!!
    I've been trying to learn from as many teachers as I can; However,
    You're the best!
    Thank you so much.

    Hi. I always wanted to learn guitar but I had a broken ring finger that set with a bad bend. Chords and notes were such a struggle so I gave up. Im now 54 and disabled so decided to try again. I have found your basic lessons and exercises have helped my fret hand immensely. I’m now looking forward to learning guitar and for the first time being positive about it. Thank you.

    Hi Lauren, after owning 4 guitars 2 acoustic 2 electric, I have now got number 5 another acoustic! Yes never learned to play them, ended up selling or giving away to friends! But I'm determined to learn this time! I found your channel, and find your teaching method easy to follow! I'm doing this for myself, not to be in a band or play in the street for loose change! Like you have said, put some time aside, and don't practice for too long! So the journey starts now.....
