3 AMAZING Tips - How To Improve Rhythm While Changing Chords On Guitar

[@aaronclark1924]

Wow😀 you read my mine on what issues I’m having. Still trying to learn your beginner lesson for Knocking on Heavens Door. I’m close, just the chord timing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@LaurenBateman]

Keep up the good work Aaron. Are you a member of my online guitar course program yet? There's lots of good information on chords, strumming and picking. Check it out: www.laurenbateman.com/beginner-guitar-course

[@aaronclark1924]

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!

[@antonioafonso5719]

Getting free lesson is big thing for me ,only can I praise fr Jesus Christ

[@heritageinternationa]

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

[@LaurenBateman]

Your videos help me greatly! I appreciate all of your work and efforts

[@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.

[@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

[@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 ❤️

[@hugofransson5454]

Hi, how many years will it take to develop a rock star strumming level?

[@LaurenBateman]

Depends on what you want to play. I still people commit to at least a year. That's when things really start coming together.

[@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!

[@_aqib]

In some moments, the guitar on her back wall looks like her uneven horns

[@LaurenBateman]

🤣🤣🤣

[@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]

Hi Lauren, I’m a newbie to the guitar … one week in …. I’m on the cusp of selecting which online teacher I want to go with and it’s a tough decision. I watch way more of your videos than anyone else. Thank you. So my question … are your videos indicative of your online course? The same detail? Pace? Thank you.

Hi Lindsay, yes I would say the teaching style is very similar. I Sometimes go into more detail in the course as well as the pdf. It’s well worth it.

[@chuckb5012]

Greetings I love your KZbin segments and I'm very interested in your course..I have a question. if I enroll on your course and you have songs such as I see in your lessons can I get a printable song with the chords included? I hang out with a group of people that meet twice a month and play whatever anyone contributes. Most have UG and I believe the info can be modified but I don't have your songs and your chords.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Chuck, it's illegal to provide printable sheet music under copyright. My courses do not offer sheet music for copywritten music, only songs in the public domain. The course teaches you all the specific techniques needed to play songs and I make suggestions as to what songs on my KZbin channel might be suitable.

I really like your tips. I am a 69 year old beginner, and although most of my chord changes are OK, I have trouble with the dreaded "F maj" chord. My barre finger is not too strong, and the other variations include repositioning the guitar in my lap, raising the neck of the guitar. Anything easier?

[@LaurenBateman]

What about this chord: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKK5dH2Jeb2LjKM

[@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!

[@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!

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

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!!

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!
