  • Learning guitar is NOT easy but it always worth it. 80%-90% of guitar student who start learning guitar will quit within their first year. I want to share with you some of my top tips that have helped my students not only learn how to play songs they know and love on the guitar, but also how to stick with it long term.
    When it comes to learning guitar, you need the right mental attitude and you need the right structure and focus. Many of my students come to me because they want structure and focus and you can learn more about that in this video.

    Your channel is the best on RUclips 👍I've just turned 70 and started playing again after 30 years. The theory and chords are coming back but my brain hasn't told my fingers yet! Your dexterity and strengthening exercises have made a huge difference. I can't thank you enough for the help and motivation you've given me 😃 🇬🇧

    6.5 months in. Found set schedule didn’t work. If I missed it the rest of the day I wouldn’t practice. Instead I took advice for another you tube channel. Keep the guitar out viable. It’s right there and it works I pick it multiple times per day. So playing it 5-30 minutes several times a day.

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  6 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, keep the guitar out. Out of sight, out of mind.

    • @marycarr7038
      @marycarr7038 6 месяцев назад +1

      @voska7390 I totally agree with you about the set schedule. That is too much like setting an alarm to go to work for me. I find that having my guitar out and available to pick up when I want to, works much better, and I find myself picking it up 5 to 10 times a day maybe for a few minutes at time, which works out much better for me.

    Still early stages for me, but, having that pathway is key. Endlessly trying new things and learning in isolation, will, for most, end up in frustration and failure. KISS works here as well as other things in life. Am fortunate the I recently discovered that a near neighbour is a tutor. Some face to face is reassuring that you're doing the right things and making progress. And it's just 30 seconds from my door. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Knowing even experienced players are not always perfect is a help. Keep it up (but don't burn yourself out trying to keep this RUclips monster fed!).

    I’m in the sixth level of Lauren’s 7-level guitar course and have signed up for the next level bundle after I finish the 7th level.
    I’m very thrilled with my progress BUT I have tripped up a tad bit not following directions completely, so I need to return to earlier levels to refresh or learn what I missed. But that is one GREAT aspect of Lauren’s course! I can go back as many times as I want to refresh (or learn what I’ve missed) enhancing my muscle memory, at 66/7ish my muscle has mostly atrophied.
    I can’t thank Lauren enough. She is fantastic! Never treats me like I’m an idiot or a pain in the arse, always answers my email;that’s amazing considering the THOUSANDS of students she has around the world. Holy shnite! One mod thing and I will stop, Lauren is kind. I like her. 😊

    Lauren,
    I really enjoy watching your videos and I’ve gotten a lot from them. I actually started playing guitar in 1976 when I was in seventh grade. It was the first class given in our school so I learned the basics and the teacher was pretty good. I even learned “take it easy” by the Eagles, because it was a fairly new song back then. The only thing I didn’t like was there was never another class that was more advanced. And my folks didn’t have the money to pay for a tutor for me. So I played for about 10 years off and on in life, got in the way. So I just played what I knew. I went in the army in 1983 and I served 20 years and I didn’t have a lot of time to play in those days. In 1986 I was stationed in Germany and someone stole my only guitar. And I gave up and I didn’t play again until 2022. It all came back to me pretty quickly and your videos have helped! So I want to thank you for what you’ve done. I guess I’m more of a strumer than a picker so far but I do know a lot of songs and some of them I’ve learned this year just from your videos. So thank you and keep doing the great work you’re doing.
    Tim Girard

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  6 месяцев назад +1

      Tim, thank you for your service. I'm more of a strummer myself. So happy to be helping you learn to play. The best time to do something was 20 years ago but the next best time is today. You go this. Happy to be a part of your journey.

    Get your practice in early - good bit of advice. Being an ex Triathlete (too old now) and having a busy job job I always went out training early before going to work. That way I knew my training was done. Now 70, retired and starting to learning guitar I have more time on my hands. But I still have a daily schedule where I factor in two half hour practice sessions a day. if retired plan your day and keep busy. Ignore people who say you are too old to learn a new hobby. Do a bit of exercise, learn new skills. I am currently also attempting to also learn a new language - again half hour a day. I am terrible at attempting to learn my new skills but will not give up. I found you by accident a few weeks ago and your beginners 12 Bar Blues video inspired me not to give up. Do not let cost be a factor - you can find plenty of reasonably priced secondhand guitars. Thank you Lauren

    Hi Lauren. You’ve been such a help to me on my first year of learning guitar and I just wanted to thank you for that and all you give with your tutorials. Watching you in this video made me think of another guy who I’ve watched to learn, his last name escapes me atm, but it’s Steve something. Anyway. One of his biggest comments that helped me stick out those early months of learning was...... “commit to at least 5mins a day practice”. This was a great goal I took on board and tried to stick with and stilI do. I do miss days but don’t beat myself up about it. But try to stick to that rule. And of course once you pull out your guitar you generally play for much much longer that 5 mins. But it gives you a no pressure boost to try and pull it out everyday and just do a little even if your not in the mood. Similar to your suggestion of having set days to practice. But just thought I’d share that with you. Really helped me as a beginner. Thanks again. Your an amazing teacher. Love your work ❤
