Against The Wind Guitar Lesson by Bob Seger

[@ronaldwatkins3929]

I'm 72, just started learning how to play a guitar and I'm enjoying it so much and your lessons

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks!

[@christopherobrien6570]

Good for you Sir. I started 4 years ago when I was 60. Doesn't this just go to show that we're never too old to learn, and no one is too young to teach us. I wish you many more years of playing.

[@mikesiegele7479]

Right there with you, 72 here as well, 7 months ago I began torturing my finger tips till they are tougher than the strings…Im a music lover with an ear for music… Keep on keepin on 👍

Yes!

[@zayneunderwood1488]

I saw Bob Seger at the first concert I ever went to in 1976 at Anaheim Stadium.... It was Bob Seger, Montrose, Ted Nugent, and the headliner was the greatest band in the land.... KISS....! 👅🤘 And in 1976 he had not even gotten popular at that point he was still a warm-up band...so to speak. And one song in they trashed them off the stage it was brutal.... Couple years later they were headlining their own shows... Thanks Teach... 🍎

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome. So cool

[@zayneunderwood1488]

@@LaurenBateman it was an awesome show from kiss they had just released destroyer and Peter Chris did Beth on the piano you remember Beth The Love ballad yeah the one that they won the Grammy for I saw it live...

[@josephg9879]

Funny story similar timeframe I saw bob with Donavan ,J Geils ,and the headliner was Yes . It was in Buffalo and they treatedSefer like the star he was to become.

Another informative tutorial... Hi Lauren, I was recently thinking about me telling you around two years ago on how I lost my eyesight in 2005, due to a life threatening illness that left me totally blind. I thought I would never be able to play the Guitar again, thankfully for playing for over four decades, I still have the skill. But now I can no longer purchase the popular Guitar Mags anymore, because they’re useless to me. So I sought out you tube to brush up on expanding my playing and there you were, Guitar for beginners, which with your easy and thorough teaching approach, really helped my reintroduction to the instrument. And although I can’t see you on the screen, hearing your direction you made it simple and inviting with inclusion. And you’re the first Guitarist I subscribed to, so thank you. You have a supporter in me for life. By the way, Happy belated Anniversary, for your Channel being on you tube for Eleven years and counting. I got the numbers backwards, it’s the 12th which was last week Friday, not the 21st. So please forgive me sweetheart, for my lapse in timing. So, congrats,continued success, you’re the best and all the rest. Stay safe and continued good health my Friend. And as always, YOU ROCK! XO

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing your story. Amazing. Glad to help you. Yes I started my channel back in 2010 more for my performances as a musician. In April 2017 I started teaching.

[@vodkaone1053]

[@senditffh7919]

Awesome video! Could you please teach us how to play Barrett baber version of "I'd love to lay you" original was by Conway Twitty. In the Barrett baber version he uses a capo on the first. Could you please show it by using the C9 simple version of it and of course the strumming pattern. I think you explain it better than the other videos I've watched. I'll share it on all my social media outlets. Thanks Spencer

[@ojsojs6004]

@@LaurenBateman Nice. I hope you do a video of dreadnought Vs jumbo acoustic guitar. Regardless, which do you prefer between the two?

[@braddavis9154]

Please play songs all the way thru either in the beginning or very end of lesson. It’s great practice. Otherwise you have great lessons and your teaching of strumming is good .

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Brad, I don't do this because I get hit with copyright issues. Even on this song, I didn't sing but I got hit with a copyright issue just for playing the chords. We risk getting our KZbin channels shut down.

[@braddavis9154]

@@LaurenBateman that makes sense . I watch a guy on the site swiftlessons and he does sing them all the way thru. Does that mean he picks songs that has no copy right fees or he pays for them ?

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LDU2U]

LOL...Looking at my sheets I think this is one of those songs from you which I transposed to my CBG, I had to find all the words for it. I couldn't follow from the verse 3 on to the end, but I can get my teacher to finish it for me, where a pre chorus and chorus fits in after the end of verse 3 and to the outro.

[@LaurenBateman]

That's great!

[@keithskelton4914]

Lauren great tune Thanks on loop for a couple of hours today ✌

[@LaurenBateman]

I wish I could get to that b minor barre chord as fast as you do, having problems with that progression

[@LaurenBateman]

Just sit there going back and forth and in and out of it.

Perfect lesson, Lauren! Thank you for showing all details. Bm barre chord is easier to play on western than on concert guitar. Take care!!

[@cynthiaporcaro9937]

I'm gonna try extra hard to try and get this one down. Seems doable except for that Bm chord. Gotta work on that easy version

[@LaurenBateman]

Keep working on it.

[@jimnicosia5934]

Lauren, will you teach us how to play "Sweet Baby James".

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you, Jim for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.

[@rickramsey4134]

Nice. Going to give this a shot--already fighting with that "easy" B minor from a version of City of New Orleans. The chord isn't hard, but getting to it accurately from E minor is a struggle for me. :)

[@LaurenBateman]

Don't give up

[@davidbellamy5445]

Great song/lesson Lauren. I tend to stop strumming while I try to get the chord. Is it better to keep strumming and let the chord catch up? Thanks again!

[@LaurenBateman]

Absolutely! It is always better to keep strumming 😃

[@sveinnetland5935]

Good 🍷❤️

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks!

[@jimnicosia5934]

I would like to know how to eliminate that scraping sound that the pick makes on the strings.

[@LaurenBateman]

You will always have pick noice on your strumming. The thinner the pick, the more of it you will hear.

[@jimnicosia5934]

@@LaurenBateman I'm glad you replied because I thought it would be just the opposite concerning pick size. I do like thinner picks though.

[@MrWolfheart111]

"Against The Wind".... I forgot it was the piano that really makes the song... is there anything we can do about that?

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah, it's hard sometimes to recreate the full essence of a song when there are other layers. The piano is really big in this song. You do the best you can.

[@donniefleming9914]

I've looked at every lesson on this song on KZbin,just curious why every one gets the intro wrong.....listen to the song again. I don't claim to be a teacher or a pro at all but I play it with a G chord shuffling to a third fret on d string to open d string followed by c chord...I should probably know what that note is on the d string,3 rd fret.....just curious why people stay on the g chord and not doing that shuffling thing in the very beginning...maybe I'm wrong....anyone?..BTW it is a good lesson,not faulting that

[@LaurenBateman]

Honestly, because is easier.

[@donniefleming9914]

@@LaurenBateman Ok,Thank You....I was thinking,well maybe it's just me hearing it differently

[@ronmiller7248]

Tip for Lauren. Please start off with playing the song you're about to teach. I can't tell you how many times I've watched videos where you get minutes in only to find out there's something wrong with the way it's played. I either just move on or (rarely) skip ahead to the end and decide. It just makes sense to start with what you'll be teaching.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Ron, I have actually tested this and students stick around longer for the lessons when you don't play it in the beginning.
