I am so lost. Why is it when I look up a chord, such as the D6/9 there are so many different fingerings for it. No, I don't just mean which finger to use but I mean entirely new frets, and strings that it is too confusing. If something is as vastly different as I am seeing they shouldn't share the same naming. Go to Google and in the search bar type d6/9 then go to a site with chord charts. It is insane to me.

Agree 100 percent. I started playing about 5 or 6 months ago and believe it or not om actually pretty good now and it's all bc of Lauren and her videos. Iv been told by ppl that play that it seems iv been playing a year to year and a half already. It amazes me as I never thought I'd learn and always wanted to.

I'm 73 and I've always wanted to play guitar. I have osteoarthritis and I'm working on not only strengthening my fingers but getting them to move right. Thank you for helping all those like me. I'm really enjoying learning. You are really good at what you do. I know that everything is repetitive so I don't get frustrated but just keep practicing. I'm working on horse with no name until I can get proficient at going from e-minor to d6/9 without hesitation or having to really think about it. My husband says I'm sounding better and I'm glad that he encourages me and listens to me doing the same thing over and over. Keep up the good work and bless you for being encouraging especially to us older folks.

Thank you so much. On December 9, 2020, my Dad died of Covid. He was an avid guitar player. He played every day and in his lifetime he wrote over 3,000 songs. The last thing I told him before he died was that I would learn to play and I wouldn't let the music die. I haven't been able to open his guitar or even attempt to play it. I just couldn't. Yesterday, I picked up the guitar he had left me. I tuned it and found your videos. Thank you so much for helping me fulfill the promise I made to him. I just played the easy version of Horse with No Name for my hubby. It means a lot to me. THANKS again. Hopefully, I'll be able to play his songs soon.

Speaking from an older guitar players point of view, having clicked out of curiosity on this video, I thought that Lauren presented her lesson really well. Well structured for a novice to easily 'take on board' and her vocals at the end was a really nice touch as well. ... ☺ Recall listening to 'Horse With No Name' when it hit the charts donkey's years ago and although simple in itself and performed by a band at the time, the actual track back then struck me as having a special 'feel' and that old music saying of "less is sometimes more" (I think) applies to the recording.
