[@scottlytton5328]

oh my lordy! i finally get the turnaround thing!!!! it makes it so you dont have to stop and start something else. Sorta just leads ya there so you can continue making music!! Boy am I jazzed now. Thank you so much Lauren, I often thin youre born to play guitar but more often I think youre born to teach it.

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes! You got it. And thank you for the kind comment.

[@MikeWatson-wm1km]

I really like the way Lauren teaches guitar basics as well as the more advanced. It is slow and easy to catch on. Great place to learn.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you liked it!

[@johnputt6029]

Terrific lesson. I just started playing after a long hiatus, This is my biggest KZbin video attempt yet. I won't quit till I play it and the turnaround reasonably well. Thank you...I hope I won't wear KZbin out by repeatedly replaying this great tutorial.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching! keep on playing!

[@VinylNostalgia]

You're an amazing teacher Lauren. Easy to understand for a 71 year old beginner. Thanks...

[@LaurenBateman]

You're so welcome!

[@BrooklynSailorBoy]

Good morning Lauren. I’m watching your lesson at the same time that I’m making my coffee and getting a quick bite before going out to my volunteer work. What I love about your lessons is that even if I feel they are a bit beyond me, you communicate the constant drumbeat of, “You can do this!” So even if I’m not fully following all of the details, before your lesson is halfway through you have given me the feeling that if I just pay attention, sit down and focus…Yes! I can do this! Thank you so much for your delightful and encouraging lessons. Have a great day. You’ve certainly started mine off in the right direction.

[@LaurenBateman]

Responded before on your other comment

[@seanhoude]

A good friend of mine loves Chicago Blues. He just tells me 1-4-5, the key, and whether there's a turnaround. Then I can play along without knowing anything else about the song. Can jam for hours doing just that. It's amazing how many songs can be played using the same shape!

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, so much fun!

[@tombeckett7567]

Mind blown...! you just opened up the whole damn fretboard pretty much... OMG. Once I memorise that pattern and I already know the notes on the top 2 strings. This gonna be my new party trick. Thank you so much. Very cool simple lesson.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you fond this helpful!

[@charlesfellows8130]

Just happened across your video this is probably one of the clearest explanations of the 12 bar blues videos I've seen great job!

[@LaurenBateman]

Wow, thanks!

[@Reds2042]

By far my favorite guitar channel. You do a great job explaining/teaching each lesson. It was difficult to understand some other tutorials, but every video of yours I have watched has been excellent. Thank you so much!

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thanks Randy. Glad to help. 😊

[@DanSIlvernail]

I learned to do this with single picking per note but this one is a really good alternate picking exercise!

[@SimpilotA380]

I learned this one, was easy, got to practice my speed now, thanks again!

[@LaurenBateman]

That's great to hear! Glad to help :D

[@olgreybear7997]

Easily the best explanation of a twelve bar blues EVER! Love your delivery to camera and proud to be a new subscriber from here on.

[@LaurenBateman]

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks Vince!!!

[@jimmysblacksmithing462]

Hey eating some carry out Thaifood was checking some KZbin yours popped up decided to take a brief lesson while wolfing down some food. Good job. As always. Very inspiring,as a little boy second oldest brother would play this, About 1966 never learned myself other than maybe once. Thanks for your inspiration gonna do it. PS love Antiques and old cars. There is something about the way they made them, to last maybe? As well as driving an old car or truck. Especially when you step on the pedal and hear and feel the engine😳😊👍 stay well have a beautiful day. Jim

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanka for popping by Jim

[@SimpilotA380]

[@DoodleBugLisa]

Great video, so well taught! Why am I fooling around with all these male teachers, when there’s is fantastic woman teaching us how to play? Truth is, I did want to sign up with you, but I’ll have to save for it during these difficult times.

[@LaurenBateman]

Lisa, welcome to the channel. Yes, it's quite the sausage fest out there huh? 🤣 I got your back. Watch out boys. There's a woman in town. 💃 Also, I do have my free crash course on the website. There's lots of free stuff fortunately for people who can't take the leap yet with the course.

[@gGXGUITAR]

This is so cool. I’ve been practicing the C shape barre chord where the root note is on the fifth fret 5th string and the third fret second string. Slide down a whole step you have the E than a half step F and so forth. With is 12 bar blues I’m learning where the next note is as well up the fret board with the first two notes are the same but different octave. WAY COOL 😎

[@LaurenBateman]

You got it! Keep practicing.

[@ryanmcdonald2027]

oh i see now ! yes ! i can see the pattern ! as long as the very first note of each riff actually starts on either an A note, a D note or an E note then that is all that matters isn't it ? a ha yes i get it now ! lol cool :) thanks heaps lauren ! lol :) This is PERFECT for my lead guitar riff and lead guitar turnaround that i want to practice so that i can play the 60's song called "Rock And Roll Music" by the Beatles !!!!! lol :) I will then learn an A major scale and an A Minor scale and learn A major, D major and E major Arpegios so that i can make up my own lead guitar solo for this song !!!!!! lol :)

[@LaurenBateman]

You got it

[@craigs.247]

Thanks for the great less Lauren. I love the blues. Please consider doing more blues lessons. It would be cool if you could play to a backing track at the end so we have a sample of how it sounds all put together.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Craig, I recently bought looper. I have a few more Blues lessons I recorded coming soon. Stay tuned.

Cool solo on that one

[@davidmartin7660]

Great lesson and explanation! I get the turn around, wish you had also shown how to easily walk out (end) the progression so it sounded complete rather than just a fingering lesson.

[@LaurenBateman]

Well I'm putting together a whole blues course right now!!!

Maybe think about using a guitar with fret markers if you're making a beginner video lesson! Will be much easier to locate positions for beginning players.

Thanks so much. I'm worked on getting a different guitar with a different company. Why we include the wonderful diagrams on screen.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome!

[@sean3994]

Lauren I was expecting to see a I, IV, V chord progression, so the finger picking was a nice surprise. Thinking on it I see you are picking out parts of two classic chord shapes, although I'm a little confused as the IV and V seem to be minor but it works? Any way, I've been messing around with the Blues a lot lately and it's nice to have another little piece that can be thrown in. - I see below that you've promised some more Blues videos! Looking forward to them.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it Sean.

[@stellaaldas8133]

Good morning maam, I'm watching your guitar lesson I'm a begginer

Yes it goes!

Welcome

[@brettbarlow2242]

This sounds the same as the instrumental by the yardbirds GOT TO HURRY . Good tune

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah, and at times it sounds like the intro to Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses.
