Hi, I'm a old French (66) beginner and I tried many channels. You're the best. Thanks. Marco

Happy to help!

Ive been learning guitar for a year now, my son played this song in the car and I said 'i reakon I could play that!' he challenged me to learn it and thanks to your video I learnt it in 10 minutes and impressed him no end,, so thank you!! :) Xx

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes!!!! I love hearing this. So awesome. Congratulations.

[@premrichard2190]

You r AMAZING dear Lauren. I was following numerous 🎸 teachers. Now U replaced everyone. How do U make such complicated lessons so simple. Thank U lady. 🙏🎸🙏.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awww thank you. Glad to help!!

[@RiskPig]

Your lessons are so incredible and intuitive! You helped me pick up the guitar so fast that my mother bought herself a guitar so we could jam together. 🖤

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks so much :) really glad to hear it! Keep it up :D

Haven't picked up my six string in years until today. Never did learn much about playing it but I found your video's and I can now play this song! Thank You so much Lauren. You are by far the best I've seen teaching this six string thing!

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad to help!

[@michaelpasmore116]

Great lesson and played tonight with the live recording for my wife and she said I nailed it. I palm mute between the upstrokes of the D6/9 which totally is what is going on in the recording.

@@LaurenBateman you're very welcome and much heartfelt thanks to YOU for these great lessons!

[@mikeebrady]

This is the best video I've found so far for this song! I learned essentially the same chords and strumming pattern from multiple other videos but I couldn't figure out why it didn't sound right when I played it. Well, now I know it's because of the swing beat. After just a little bit of trying to strum this way, I can already hear it starting to sound like the actual song! Thank you!

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@vahidcekro7917]

Ok, I'll comment. This video is pleasant, insightful, amazing, refreshing, fun...I could go on. Thank you for teaching

Out of contless KZbin lessons of this song this is the first one that made me make sense of it... I'm finally STARTING to sound a bit like the record. 😅

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh good!!!!!

[@billyray323]

I've been learning the first 7 chords & feel I need to make progress with strumming now, so as to make some better sounds. I a admire your style of teaching, it's very calming & down to earth, you're a great lady who makes it possible to relate to your way of teaching. Thank you very much indeed, I've found it difficult in the past but recently invested in a more expensive guitar, far better sound too.. I just need strum better, then look on your website for songs I know, I feel that will help me improve.. Start safe & happy Lauren

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for watching and for sharing!

[@peterspitz2385]

Lauren, thank you for teaching me how to play this song so that it sounds close enough to the original that people will recognize it and not say "What was that?". I have no idea how I found your channel, but I am so glad I did. Your lessons are so easy to follow and understand. I finally think I can get to a place in my guitar playing where I will be able to play for friends and they will actually know what I'm playing. I am subscribed and I click the Like button on every video of yours that I watch. In fact, I click it first, and then watch, because I KNOW I'm going to like it. 🙂

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm really glad the videos were helpful :D

Many thanks for Country roads, Jolene and Horse with no name. You have helped me bunches!

Matt, so happy to help.

[@TheFlat6]

Yes it's a nice strumming pattern, it's what drives this song. I play it up on 5th fret, one on my repertoire for open jams..

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome

[@360RapineCarnage]

I learnt this as a beginner from a different tutorial and while knowing the chords and the strumming pattern order, I never had the swing element and that is what felt missing! Glad I came across your tutorial as it made it much easier to implement the "swing". xxxxxx

[@LaurenBateman]

So glad to help you have that light bulb moment.

[@MystoGH]

I love the tutorial regrading strumming guide lines aside the chords thanks Ms. Lauren Bateman

[@MikeLyncheski]

Thanks! Loving your channel! It is great for newbie with zero music genes. :)

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome Mike!

[@seanhoude]

Pretty close, but it's more like this: Em goes; bass, down-up, bass, up-down-up. Then the D6/9/F# goes; bass, up-whack, up-whack, up-down-up. The "bass" is just a down strum on the 6th string. The "whack" is when you use the blade of your strumming hand to silence the strings. It's strange at first, but sounds just like the recording, once you have it down. It's the first song I taught myself and the first one I show anybody else how to play. Love your channel!

[@MrKalman13]

Thanks Lauren, there are so many video tutorials on You Tube with some certainly better than others. I guess the trap is to try and start playing songs too soon and then you get frustrated when you can't play well enough or change chords quickly enough. I think I was also trying to learn too many chords at once and when I had to use 4 fingers for some chords I almost threw it in! Really glad I found your tutorials which are taught at just the right level for beginners. Small things I guess, but just being able to play and sing along to 'Horse with No Name - wow, very exciting! Need to work hard on my strumming, but liked your easy strumming lesson which has been very helpful. I'll keep tuning in. Regards, Peter from Adelaide, Australia.

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, the key is start simple and build upon what you know

[@billconstantino8491]

Hi Lauren , This is by far the best way to learn , have tried in the past a couple of times but but your way is the easiest especially for us old folks , at least i can hear results after a few short lessons , thank you . I just have to overcome one problem , the pick keeps loosening up and flopping around in my fingers , is there any tricks ? thanks Bill C

[@LaurenBateman]

Bill, there is a balance to holding your pick. You have to hold it firm enough to prevent what you're talking about, but loose enough to not make your strumming sound bad. I do recommend Dunlop Max Grip picks for beginners. 0.60mm or 0.77mm
