Love your way of teaching. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you first start. Small steady gains are the way to go.

I went from a Mel Bay Chord Book to Watching YOU!...Im Not Good...But Im Better- Because of YOU! THANK YOU!!!!

Wow, thank you!

I'm a 60 year old newcomer to guitar (albeit with a lifetime of air guitar experience following a brief, unsuccessful dalliance with learning guitar when I was about 10 years old). I recently bought a battered Jeff Beck Les Paul lookalike because it looked cool as an objet d'art, but then found myself watching YT videos, getting more and more drawn to trying to learn again. After a fortnight or so of various tutorials (and guitar repair videos, as the old Les Paul is falling apart...), I've stumbled across this channel, and this is the first time the best playing position has been clearly explained - particularly with that note regarding making things comfortable for the more mature player. THANK YOU Lauren! I'll be following your tutorials and crash course from here onwards.

I've been watching you more than others. Very simple teaching. Thank you

@@LaurenBateman The next couple of weeks we look into getting some lessons with the kids and farm just got to find some time I so appreciate how you explain and teach!!

I loved your Crafter guitar that much, I managed to find one at 400 uk pounds which i bought. . The bottom E string rang a little but I managed to fix it. What a buy !!!

I'm a 79 year old retiree and recently bought my first guitar. I always wanted to learn how to play one but felt hampered because of having rather short fingers, my middle finger on either hand is right 3 and 7/8 inches in length, I was told by the widow of a farmer class mate who run a music store for years that it shouldn't make any difference so after all these years I bought my 1st guitar. I started watching different y-tube videos and found that Lauren Bateman seems the best for beginners. My tastes learn towards older country and Southern Gospel style of music.

I am 51 and trying to learn. I like these older songs. Do you have any old country songs that you have simplified? I really enjoyed this video.

This is more than a trying channel, this is an accomplishing channel. And Lauren doesn't just teach how to play but enjoy playing, and she shows us the tools to simplify songs. She does have I Walk The Line and Toom Dooley.

For using the tuner .. tell everyone to be on the chromatic (C) mode. I know YOU know this, but if beginners have a multi-purpose tuner they might have a problem. If they are in the Guitar mode (usually G on the tuner) you have to be close to the note to start. Best to start on the chromatic (C) mode. I know you know this 'cause you rock (I love your channel and subscribe). Thanks for your videos!! Fortunately, most tuners turn on in the "C" mode> Guessing A Horse with No Name? Great song!!

Hi Lauren! No laughing please, but how do you get guitar picks out from inside the acoustic guitar body? I finally got mine out by rolling a piece of tape into a ring with the sticky side out, and sticking it onto the end of a pencil. I then could put the end of the pencil with tape on it into the sound hole, stick it onto the picks and pull them out. Whew!

@LaurenBateman

19 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching! That is a good method and a lot of students are doing that. One way is to shake your guitar until the pick is positioned at the middle of the sound hole. Then you flip your guitar as fast as you can and the pick will eventually drop at the sound hole. As we say, practice make progress.

Every Adult Dog Grows Barks and Eats E,A,D,G,B,E Just throwing that out there. May help someone.

I've been working on my guitar playing for 1.5 months now. Got my calluses developed, know most of the basic open chords, my strumming is coming along okay considering I don't use a pic. I have plenty of songs to practice. But I CANNOT manage to control my finger picking, keeping it steady thru a song! It is very frustrating. I suspect I'm still not changing chords fast enough so as to be able to maintain notes going from one chord to the next. I pluck strings without any discernable pattern. Frustrating. 😢 Sorry. I just had to vent. But any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response Lauren. After I posted here, I scrolled thru your videos. I figured you HAD to have some finger picking videos some place. 😏 Sure enough, I watched your 'Dust in the Wind' and found the one about generalized picking. Guess it's time for more practice. 😁 I'm retired so I have plenty of time.

second song name:- lonely people

People are able to move their hands and fingers in ways that other people will never be able to do no matter how much practice and that's why some people progress and some people don't and never will. Playing guitar mostly comes down to your anatomy and it's not fair. I can't even get my picking hand parallel to the strings and end up scraping the pick toward the bridge when it should be going down towards the ground and I've been playing for years. I hate seeing people making progress when I can't because I wasn't born with special muscles and tendons in order to do it. Getting better at guitar is a myth. Some people's hands and fingers will never be able to do this and thats something giutar teachers never tell you but I wouldn't expect them to know about anatomy. I've studied anatomy
