When I see KZbin notification bubble telling me that a video has been posted on Lauren's channel, my face beams with a smile and heart fills with a sense of joy. I love Lauren for the guitar playing skills that she so meticulously crafts but I love Lauren more just for the kind of person she seems. I am an Indian sitting far far away yet it feels like a connection with her, like she's a friend next door. Meeting her in person is one of my wishes and I hope to fulfill it as soon as I can. Lots of love Lauren. You're awesome ♥️

[@LaurenBateman]

Julla, thank you for following the channel. So happy to be helping you.

I love your singing when you play 😊!! Nice tip about the palm muting. Makes the song build up as you open up the strings more and more. Cool.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks so much! 😊

Super lesson Lauren - really gets me out of the basic chord change rut I've been in - thanks!

[@LaurenBateman]

Happy to help!!! Enjoy. 😊

[@pscottwheatley]

Something I noticed on closeups is with your Crafter we can't tell what fret you are at. Great lesson though. Thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, I've been trying to remember to grab the Taylor but I forget sometime. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@t9620]

[@LaurenBateman]

My pleasure!

As an Extremely long term beginner here….I wish I had access to Lauren way back when I was starting and was collecting lesson plans from just about ever online teacher ….she teaches in the perfect niche for someone early on that wants to play through songs …..I’d suggest to many out there learning for the first time ….get these simple steps / songs in your bag bfore moving on to another / more difficult stuff …..you’re gonna absolutely ignore that advice , like I did / do over and over again … but hopefully you’ll realize sooner than I that you have to crawl then walk before you can run ….( strum / make chords [crawling] , count and strum in time while changing chords [walking], bring it up to speed while slowly adding in lil lead stuff[ your running now ] ….there’s more to it obviously but each step is important , don’t skip counting (like I did /do still) untill it becomes second nature getting a song “right “ won’t happen ….and believe me when I say this ….” It sucks and is harder to go backwards ,and getting through some songs without counting is sort of a trapping that’ll make more bad habits you have to correct later “….. it’s even depressing at times

[@vicpnut1]

The metronome ,as frustrating as it can be , is really a friend early on ….also tough to learn if you have to relearn,😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Vic this is such great advice. We all want to get to the more difficult songs, but these foundational items are super important.

[@stoopotts6908]

Great Stevie Nicks song and another terrific lesson! You are getting so prolific that I can't keep up with your videos anymore. 😄 Great job as always!

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thanks Stoo. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jerryLowe-w5y]

I just subscribed to your channel…I’m trying to learn more and I like the way you teach!

[@LaurenBateman]

Excellent lesson

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you!

[@marcelavega2508]

Se escucha hermoso,muchas gracias.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome!!!

[@marcoliver625]

Would it be worth using a looper pedal to do the 16th note pattern so you can sing and play along?

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah that would be awesome

[@WardHammond]

You're awesome. Love the singing.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks!

[@WardHammond]

@@LaurenBateman I started this journey back in October on my son's electric Squier Stratocaster which he left at home when he went to college. A few months later I picked up my wife's acoustic. Now that I have some callouses, I am able to play her Sigma 52SDR-7 by Martin and it sounds great. I find myself going to the Sigma more and more. Thanks for your great lessons.

[@WardHammond]

Have you created a lesson on I'd Love to Change the World by Ten Years After?

[@AnthonysTrends]

[@LaurenBateman]

OMG I have Silver Springs on my to do list!!!!

[@srdevananda1343]

Hi Lauren 👍

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi!

[@elsonmarkwick6541]

Actually, sounds to my ear like Stevie's hitting the word "white" on the "and" of the 4th measure (while you are still on the E), with the move to C coming on the following 1

[@TheRealMachoSavage]

Could’ve sworn she had this posted a few days ago? I know I watched it a few days ago. What am I missing?

[@LaurenBateman]

I had played this lick on the wrong string. I had to edit it!!!!

[@88pynogrl]

Hi Lauren, love your video! Could you do a tutorial on Demi Lovato 4 ever 4 me?

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks. And thank you for the suggestion.

[@KenBishop]

It would make it a little easier for a beginner if you had the fret markers on your guitar

[@TheBoroda88]

👍

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandyhickman8012]

I have the hardest time palm muting 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😳

[@LaurenBateman]

It does take a little finesse. Keep at it. It will come!

[@sandyhickman8012]

I’m really looking at coming out to Boston in September for your seminar think I’d learn alot just need a friend to come along so we could explore for a few days after it!!!

[@TheJazieyone]

Should play song first, then give the lesson

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks. Sadly people don't stick around when I do that.
