Fantastic lesson! Dividing it into chapters is very helpful for reference!

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@psillygal1953]

Great lesson! Love the alternative F chords!!!!…..but will continue to practice the regular F. 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

You can do it!

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Do keep trying! I have been doing the F alternatives since picking my guitar back up in the last year. I used to do barre chords when I was young, but harder now that I am a senior. I am pushing myself though. A true F sounds so much richer and I can do it. But my switch is not always smooth. Same with Bmin. I am determined to get past my “I can’t do it” mentality and now saying “keep trying..it sounds better today!”

[@jeffbrummette1622]

Your the real thing mam! I just can’t get my fingers toughened up to practice. But it will happen. I’m watching the songs you can play with the 9 chords! Your making this so exciting! Love this!

[@LaurenBateman]

Jeff, yes, I love it! That's so exciting. I'm happy for you.

[@2dogbull]

Thank you, Lauren. I have been practicing them.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome!!!!

[@sydneyrak7566]

As a beginner I usually have a difficult time following along with these videos but this seemed easier for me to understand, thank you 💜

[@LaurenBateman]

Happy to help!!

[@seanhoude]

Perfect timing with this one, Lauren! I had just taken to picking a strumming pattern and practicing chord transitions. Now I have a couple new chords to experiment with. Thanks as always.

[@LaurenBateman]

Perfect!

[@Jimgoodwin846]

@B.J. Thomas I’m with you I can play the chords but as far as sounding like a song…for get it. I’m ok with it for the present I enjoy the sounds!

[@LaurenBateman]

It will come with time! Keep practicing.

[@scottbrower9052]

This is fantastic, LB.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks Scott!

[@wildalbalass4867]

Great stuff. Many thanks.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wildalbalass4867]

@@LaurenBateman I had a bit of a ‘break’ for a wee while. That’s me right back into it again. I started 9 months ago ( I’m 64) It felt fantastic to manage relatively easily all the chords that you covered. It was a wee boost that I needed to get me back on track. Wishing you, your wife and all your family ( and everyone on here) a Very Happy New Year. love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@charlieharpman2107]

Heyyy Lauren!! Another great tutorial. I love the introduction, just in case we are new. You are very clear as usual. Happy New Year!!’ 🎶🎸😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you! You too!

[@charlieharpman2107]

You are welcome!!! Thank you!! 😊

[@janethammer9501]

Thanks Lauren for going over the basic chords. I picked up the guitar at age ten.. learned basic chords but could never get the strumming down. My younger brother has all the musical talent.

[@LaurenBateman]

Janet you got this. No one in my family plays the guitar.

[@prewilsonprewilson2191]

Happy new years sister

[@LaurenBateman]

You too!!!

[@jasonnascone4391]

You explain stuff soooo well

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you!!!

[@walther9161]

Great stuff!! Can’t get that C chord yet… small hands. Maybe a flatter neck is in my future if stretching doesn’t work. Thank you for posting!

[@LaurenBateman]

Go for it!

[@braynapstar6581]

You made me move from zero to hero...All I request from you right now Is Barre chords lessons because I don't I think I can ever play them unless I learn from you

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome! I have videos about barre chords in my channel that you can check out.

[@braynapstar6581]

@@LaurenBateman Thank you...Let me try to check them out

[@bobbymalta73]

Thks Lauren you Booster our Mind. 😉

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome!

[@pitching7577]

Thanks

[@LaurenBateman]

No problem

[@ayastrations]

What's the guitar hanging in the back? It's beautiful😍

[@LaurenBateman]

It's a Gretsch Duo Jet George Harrison edition

[@marcuspei6651]

Hi Lauren, Thanks for your videos! I am struggling with my C chord. I find the reach with my 2nd and 3rd fingers difficult. Any tips?

[@LaurenBateman]

Maybe try this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6e4eot3Ypp5bM0

[@vinodhrupan684]

Hi Lauren I watched a video of your-lesson with 2 fingers and learned it that way but now it’s difficult using 3 fingers any advice I love your lessons I’m playing for a week now just watching your videos Thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

Just part of the process.

[@b.j.thomas8606]

I have known those chords for years. Still am not able to play a song. I love to jam with myself for hours improving chord progressions. I've tried writing my own songs with some success but none learning songs from radio-records. Cowboy-Barres-Power-Blues scale, yet nothing.

[@m1lton_5]

I’d say maybe find an experience guitar player that can help identify where your having problems, I’ve found that strumming patterns can vary between songs and also the bps of song have to all come together for it all to sound like what your trying to play.

[@LaurenBateman]

There are many songs that use the chord Em, C, D and G. Focus on those first.

[@srdevananda1343]

Same issue for me also still iam unable to play a song

[@mummyiluobe5274]

I am a very new at guitar so what I have done is learn these chords and apply them to songs. I am also trying to remember the names of the chords; it is hard in my opinion. I can only play one simple song and I only started learning chords yesterday.

[@jeramiedutcher6720]

The hook for me was catchy, simple intros. It turned into practicing the 14 major and minor chords and switching without missing a beat. Then, all the other chords were easier. I don't know their names. I look at a chart and connect them with where they get used in the song. Sharp and flat make sense, but the dim, sus2, add2, 6, 7, 9 everything is too much to remember.

[@LaurenBateman]

Nice!!! That's awesome.

[@wildalbalass4867]

Aye. That’s tricky for me too.

[@nicolasroy6654]

Hi I got a question. I got D-F#-A# can you tell me the chord it is? Thanks. I check in many books and i never find it. Thanks for your help

[@LaurenBateman]

Off the top of my head, I don't know unfortunately.
