I'm 62 and started two months ago with someone else on KZbin and then found Lauren. Game changer!!! Love her

[@LaurenBateman]

Awww so glad you found me!

[@sikohki_7]

Helpful tips whenever I get stuck no problem just consult Lauren. 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Perfect!

[@MrGmooney]

This gal is the best teacher on KZbin, simple as that.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you!!!!

[@cindyrehmel7564]

I agree the best one I have found teaching video guitar. I just can't hear her well. And another thing I'm trying to hear the strumming sounds and she's counting over n over I need to hear it to please... Thank You ❤️

[@darrellhutson768]

I love the way you are teaching I have wanted to play for many years but was not able to find a teacher I felt comfortable with till I came across you thank you you are beautiful

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome!

[@guymacandrew5989]

There’s a lot of guitars tuition on KZbin and I jumped around quite a few untilI I found Lauren who has the clearest messaging that is delivered with empathy for a newbie. You have to put the time in obviously but I’ve improved so much in just a week.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@samuelmandell8995]

Lauren, I am bouncing between your course and these videos on U-tube this instruction between G and C is exactly what I needed. It may look like I am not progressing in the course but I am practicing on the cord changes and strumming patterns. Having trouble as my brain wants to invent a whole different strumming pattern.

[@LaurenBateman]

Samuel, the C to G can be a pain. Totally normal. You got this my friend.

[@jesseross6029]

Hi Lauren! I can personally vouch for the idea that trusting your ear really works. A neighbor of mine invited me over to his house one time and told me to bring my guitar. Quite honestly, I panicked because I'm not really skilled enough to be able to perform. What he did turned out to be a fantastic learning experience for me. He played about ten songs (the original recordings) for me and asked me to play along to the best of my ability. I had never heard most of them before but he encouraged me to find the melodies just by "feeling" how the notes were going (in other words, training my ear). By about the third song, I found -- much to my amazement -- that I was actually able to do it!

[@LaurenBateman]

If you have a good ear, it's a great tool to use!

[@zayneunderwood1488]

It's a huge sense of accomplishment when you are actually able ( through muscle memory) to switch between cords smoothly and not look.. And dropping in a new chord.. "practice practice practice" I have found that to be so fulfilling.... Thanks Teach... 🍎

[@LaurenBateman]

Hey Zayne, thank you so much. That makes me so happy that my lessons helped you.

[@barryc9115]

That finger exercise changed EVERYTHING! I had to manually move my ring finger when I started it a month ago. I do it everyday before I practice. And while it’s still a little stubborn, it’s moving on it’s own!

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome!

[@vreergc]

whle roughly an intermediate player I benefit a lot from this as I am selftaught and never knew the precise details. Now I do and it is really helpful. Back in the days (last century) guitar education wasn't that educational for people like me who didn't immediately grasp what happened

[@LaurenBateman]

So glad it was helpful!

[@harrisonbergeron5393]

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you so much!

[@shrutidutta3347]

Your methods are an absoute gamechanger. I started learnig two moths ago and kept forming the chords one finger at a time which ofcourse meant messy chord switches. Started the finger pushups 4 days ago and its been the biggest help already. I see significant improvements in forming chord shapes and switching between them while playing. Its been so useful i've made it a part of my daily warmup and intend to keep it that way. Thank you, you're one of the best teachers so glad I came across your channel!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.

[@kevingalloway1684]

Lauren Bateman I really need to, just what I’ve learned from you has really helped me. There is no doubt your a wonderful music teacher 👍🙏

[@Dadrummer23]

I really needed help on this. I could've sworn that I was practicing this not to long ago and I had this same problem. I gotta say that you're really like hands down the best guitar teacher I've seen teach here on KZbin God bless you! I've had one problem on how much pressure to put on the guitar string when changing chords I was gonna ask could you make a video on how to do that.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks Aaron!

Thank you so much for ALL your brilliant lessons Lauren. - I've only this week discovered you exist! Have been learning guitar for the past year (starting as an absolute beginner), and hands down you are the best teacher I've come across! I feel much more confident that I'll make faster progress from now on...

[@LaurenBateman]

Maria thank you so much

[@LyssieLysse]

These videos are helping me so much and make me feel more confident in my playing (even though I sound terrible right now haha). In just two weeks of doing the exercises and chord videos my playing has improved a lot and I always try to fit playing time into my busy day so I can improve even more. I had a previous instructor who had 2 degrees in music, but not the understanding and patience and expected me to already be playing due to me having played the clarinet for years. Thank you for being patient with those of us who are just starting out with guitar. It means a lot!

[@LaurenBateman]

We all sound terrible in the beginning. One step at a time.

[@boomatron1]

Thankyou Lauren ..You nailed it !! I was having trouble with my third finger because I was moving it last. Trying to move it 1st really helped.
