Hi I am a retired Marine. I am 63. I played afew years in my younger age for acouple of years, and I put it down . I put it up again Dec of last year. I have been watching your lessons and I have learned more from your lessons than I ever knew and alot faster. YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEACHER. THANK YOU!!!!

[@LaurenBateman]

James, thank you for your service. Very happy to be helping you.

[@jamesmarshall3089]

@Lauren Bateman Morning Miss Lauren I just don't know where I would fall in your classes. I watched you playing Amazing Grace yesterday. I liked the tabs and the picking. Today, I will start practicing what I learn by watching you. I meant that I put the guitar down when I was 15 and picked it up again after 40 + years. By watching your class yesterday on Amazing Grace, I'll be able to play it today.

[@davittorio.]

Hello Mrs Lauren, I just wanted to take a moment to expressly thank you for helping me and other beginners learn the guitar. The basics and all. I love and respect everything you do P.S I also used to box, changing passions to guitar has been interesting thanks to you Stay blessed

I’ve recently picked up the guitar at 44, nearly 45, and your lessons are amazing. They’re helping me to progress, and just to feel more confident with the guitar in my hand. I know I’ll never shred on a stage (which is fine by me!) but to enjoy playing the instrument is great.

[@Gmbalogh]

Thanks!

Welcome!

[@sapphire6107]

Thanks Lauren. I recommended your channel to four of my friends who are also beginner guitarist and they all said they learned every time. One said you are engaging which I agreed of course.

[@pattidowd5518]

I am 67 years old and a beginner. I started taking private lessons and spent 6 months learning how to read music. I don’t see how that helps me. I think learning chords are more important. Is there a benefit in learning to read. I love your lessons

[@LaurenBateman]

Patti, I wasn't able to read music for 2 decades. I'm still not good at it. You don't need it as a guitar player that wants to have fun. What I believe you should learn is how to read rhythm. That's super important. Forget the site reading. Takes too long and bogs you down. But that's my personal opinion. I never went to school for music so I have different ideas.

[@pattidowd5518]

@@LaurenBateman sorry. Could you explain what you mean by rythym

[@LaurenBateman]

@@pattidowd5518 Rhythm is the pulse. Quarter notes, 8th notes, etc. I explain this really well in my course: laurenbateman.mykajabi.com/course

[@user-xr8ow1bc4k]

I am a beginning guitar person who taught myself piano for a wlhile. I belonged to a large jazz club in Washington, DC. I knew a lot of musicians. I asked a piano player about reading music and he told me that if you learn by ear and can feel the music you are able to improvise much easier, but if you can only read music you may be limited to playing it the way it is written. He felt reading was limiting your playing. He also said that reading has its own purpose but not so much for him. He could read but used fake books and lead sheets to learn the tunes.

[@swingman50]

Glen Campbell, one of the greatest guitar players of all time, never read music.

[@juanmaselli3887]

First time I ever play (?) a guitar blue. You teach so easy.

[@SOLDIERx4xCHRIST]

Lauren, I really like my local guitar instructor. But I wish you were local. You are a great teacher. I have been working on the blues shuffle for a couple of weeks, and it wasn't clicking in my mind. Because I was basically doing the shuffle without the shuffle. Like you showed in the first part of this lesson. Watch out cause I get it now.😁

Just dropping you a note to thank you for all of your effort Lauren. I’m not that old but find my attention span to be very old and whithered but you have a very kind and considerate mannerisms which hold my attention helping me through the process. I still have problems playing “cover” songs but, I’ve gotten comfortable enough to play my own improvised noise which sounds good to me thanks to you. 😊

[@johnnga4496]

I think when you teach some of us beginning gutiar students it's encouraging to hear that you just need to stick to it. That taking up something like playing guitar or any instrument for that matter requires constant practice for most of us. And with no pain there is no gain I'm finding that out cuz my fingertips are very sore at this point I've been doing this for 10 days Non-Stop 10 minutes four times a day I will keep you advised on my progress if you like it. Keep up the good videos.

@@LaurenBateman fantastic I'll be waiting

[@dougjolley4849]

Very helpful. As you warned, I did experience some difficulty with the strumming pattern. I found it helpful to visualize each measure as consisting of 4 identical chord triplets with the final 2 chords of each chord triplet tied together. That sets up the bluesy short-long, short-long, short-long, short-long pattern for each measure. Some players (like myself) prefer to begin their strumming with a long rather than a short. That is easily accomplished by simply treating all 3 chords of the very first chord triplet played as being tied together. I don't know how rigerouse all of this is; but, it was helpful to me.
