Hi Lauren, I've seen three other videos on how to do this song & you easily beat the lot of them with clear simplicity on how to do the Bass riff, the strumming patterns & the feel & speed of how to do those chords at the various speeds & patterns. Thank you very much. I think you put more effort into your videos than anyone else I have seen.

Any time.

[@ryanmcdonald2027]

By the way Lauren another good thing to do is to try and figure out what chords are being used in a song, so if you are in the key of C major (like you are for this song) so if you don't know all the chords to a particular song, try playing a couple of chords from the key that your are in and try singing along to it, if the notes that you are playing on your guitar or if the notes that you are playing on your piano keyboard are not actually blending in fully with the notes and words that you are singing, then that chord is most likely the wrong chord for that part of the chord progression, on the other hand if the notes you are playing on the guitar or piano keyboard sound like they actually blend in well with the notes that you are singing and the words that you are singing along with , then you have most likely found the right chords and the right chord progression order for that particular song which means you are most likely in tune and in key :)

[@LaurenBateman]

Yep. Great skill.

what was very nice (that most online guitar tutorials lack) was that you put the counts in for the 16th note strumming patterns. Makes it much easier for me than just a bunch of downs and ups. Thank you!

Hey Lauren - maestro. Another magnificent lesson. You make it easy to follow and fun. I love the choice if strumming patterns, how you build the feel for rhythm and you don't skip the riffs just to make it seem too easy.. It would be awesome if you could do one of these songs: Leonard Cohen - Tower of Song. Donovan - Catch the wind Thanks Gary

Great lesson Lauren - can't wait to have a go at this !

Ha, I’ve been making a list of songs you teach with the KZbin links for future practice when I’ve reached that stage of skill level. I’ve been practicing my butt off. This song is great. Out of the blue, my strumming practice has come thru, I am able to play the harder strumming pattern with relative ease and it sounds great. Thanks for another great video lesson.

[@LaurenBateman]

That’s awesome!!!

[@derekbooth8707]

Love the song…..love the lesson. Many thanks. One of my all-time favourites is Melanie’s cover of “Ruby Tuesday”, a great song and a lovely mix of strumming and picking. I’d love it if you could give a lesson on it!

[@LaurenBateman]

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation

[@Bradnick930]

Thanks! After decades of thumb strumming and finger picking, I'm learning to strum and pick with a flat pick. This is a great exercise. Feels like I'm using a shovel, but it's a start. Great lesson. I hope everyone knows that under the little gear icon you have the ability to slow down the videos to "play-along" speed.

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh that's awesome. Glad to help. And yes, thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Lauren. I've just stumbled across your KZbin channel and now practising this riff., which I might add I'm finding pretty easy to do.. Jerry from Derry here. Beautiful little City in Northern Ireland. I've had this Guitar for more than 20 years now and I think I managed to play 3 songs in all that time. OK Well maybe PLAY is pushing it a bit. I turn 68 Next month and I'm planning on have at least one or 2 songs pinned by then so I'm on the clock. My work always got in the way and it still does but I'm finally managing my time a bit better now and I've set myself a goal. Problems are BIG hands and getting my fretting fingers to stretch to the C chord for one. I'm comfortable with A, but due to finger size I'm fretting 3 strings with 2 fingers, D, E, Em, Am and G but at times my big old fingers get in the way of the G as well. Bar chords ...big No No. Cannot get my finger to lay flat on the fret board I have no medical conditions at all, keep fairly fit and jog 5k 3 days a week. I like all music genre's with the exception of Jazz! Not a big Jazz fan. Love Neil Diamond especially his Hot August Night Album, Cat Stevens, have most of his albums, Simon & Garfunkel's Gracelands and I love love love Country Music. My Country interests, and which I really want to learn Guitar for are..... Kevin Welch - Something About You, Train to Birmingham, Too Old To Die Young, Andaman Sea Kieran Kane - Eight More Miles, This Dirty Little Town, Je Suis Tres Contendre Guy Clark - L.A. Freeway, Dublin Blues, Magnolia Wind, Without Getting Killed or Caught, John Prine - Aimless Love, Christmas In Prison, Crazy As A Loon, Grandpa Was A Carpenter, It's A Big Old Goofy World, Don't Bury Me. and almost anything by the legend that is.. Mr Alan Jackson Have you ever covered any of these?

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on Jerry. Welcome to the channel.

[@zayneunderwood1488]

You know I'm going to tune in, save and share anything you teach us from CCR.... I'm a huge John Fogerty fan ever since I was a child.... Even with the arthritis in my left thumb flaring like a you know what‼️ I still picked up the guitar and I'm practicing this song...... 🎶✨🙏 Thanks Teach.... 🍎

[@LaurenBateman]

Ha ha. Yeah CCR tunes do really well on the channel, so I feel like you're not the only CCR fan out there. :) That stinks on the thumb. Try practicing form your chords without using your thumb. When you really get into it, there isn't a lot of pressure on the thumb on the back of the guitar for open chords.

Wow, I have been playing this song for a little while now but when doing the 2nd lick I would hit the 5th fret of the D string twice instead of moving over to the G string and playing it open twice.
