Lauren did an excellent teaching job here! If you can not just play but SING Landslide flawlessly, it does signal to me a guitar player who is evolving beyond intermediate level into early advanced level. With Travis picking, anyway! Then you're ready for Lindsey Buckingham's even trickier Travis picking song, "Never Going Back."

[@The_Ry_Simsta]

After a lot of practice (and getting frustrated with myself) I FINALLY nailed this today ❤ Thank you 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome!!!! Big win.

[@davesmail59]

I’ve listened to this song for decades. I finally learned how to play it. Thank you!

[@LaurenBateman]

That is great!

[@jimmycricket7385]

Most of us like this song. I always avoided the Travis picking style because in my naivety I thought it was a bit too oompah oompah and 'dad' music style. Now I have to develop muscle memory and apply it to everything from rag time to blues and folk. Even rock and roll. Thanks for providing a simple and quite beautiful introduction to it.

[@LaurenBateman]

I have to say, I’ve been struggling with playing guitar the way I want to. You have a way of teaching that I’m learning from. I have ADHD so every lesson just lost me and I’ve been trying to teach myself for 40 plus years. You put it all together just right🤗 You hold my attention, And I’m so grateful to you.

I'm so glad!

[@AlexMR]

I love that you break it down in parts, start with chord progression then picking, then put it all together is just what I needed to hear tbh my picking is there but not my chords being clean Enough

Hey Alex, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.

Best guitar teacher for complete dummies like me who really want to learn. Thank you!

[@pammozuch276]

Thanks Lauren. Finally found out of my finding someone who can teach me guitar lessons Especially how u did a close up camera shot to show us where we need to position our fingers in playing chords This is very HELPFUL I have tried to find many other websites over and over So I kinda of gave up on my lessons Til today I found you and where you use CLOSE UP CAMERA LESSONS No other websites do this. This, is again very helpful Ty Lauren and also slowly showing me where others whiz by in their teachings. You take your time and show me everything I need to know. You are the best! Ty

[@LaurenBateman]

Pam, I'm so happy you like my lessons!! Glad to help you enjoy your guitar

[@Larrymh07]

Excellent teaching. You've the best lesson for this song I've seen so far. No disrespect to the other instructors.

[@LaurenBateman]

I appreciate that!

[@strumlead8741]

Thanks for the Vid! I play this song and love it! Please note this is in the key of Eb, so it's not a "C maj" chord but a Eb maj chord. You're not hearing a C, Am, G, etc. so best to think of it in Eb as it is played and heard. This is important when playing at a jam session and people want to join with instruments that don't use capos.

[@LaurenBateman]

I'm referring to the chord relative to the capo.

[@tdshrinksleevelabeling953]

Thanks so much! You got a great way about you when explaining. My fav style of teaching

[@LaurenBateman]

Wow, thank you!

[@chrismcfadden7830]

Funny thing, I originally set out to learn Gordon Lightfoot if you could read my mind and I noticed a similarity In Chords in 1 part. So I looked up landslide To see if that was correct and it was. Finger picking is something I've always struggled with And your technique of teaching is really "clicking" with me . I feel like a door has been opened and you opened it for me, Thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on. I have a video on the Gordon Lightfoot song too!

[@malcolmdavis1730]

Came back to your lesson each time I learn something new. Thanks.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad to hear it!

[@stuartthorpe]

I really like your teaching style and appreciate your enthusiasm and warmth. I've seen a lot of your lessons and until this one, (maybe I just wasn't paying attention?) hadn't realised what a good voice you have.Without the camera, it could be Stevie Nicks doing this song at home. Flattery will get you....well, up to you! Thank you Lauren.

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww Stuart, that's very kind of you. I'm an alto just like Stevie so I can sing a lot of her music. One of my other favorite altos is Karen Carpenter. Can't quite get her style but I love her voice.

[@stuartthorpe]

@@LaurenBateman I would imagine she is pretty difficult to 'get.' I play a bit of guitar and am now learning fingerpicking - Travis etc - and my goal s to, wait for it, be able to make a fair fist of Never |going Back Again. That needs a laugh emoji, but any chance you can do a video teaching that song? Buckingham's playing I mean. I won't hold my breath....

[@foxInGloves]

You're such a fantastic logical teacher!! Thank you for taking things slow and explaining so well 👍🤟

[@LaurenBateman]

Appreciate that. Thank you!

[@StanVice]

Not nearly as difficult as I would have thought. I REALLY LOVE finger picking. It's actually seems more forgiving than playing with a pick. I've only made it through the verse so far. My biggest hang up is switching to that weird chord. It's screwing up my timing. But, I will work that the mechanics of that out. Thank you for this great lesson.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome! Just keep on practicing and you will definitely get it :D

[@StanVice]

I recommend learning to pick the pattern without looking asap. If I look at it while picking, I get cross-eyed and lose my place. If I watch tv (or whatever), I can play it over and over with almost no problems. And, to me, this is easier to play without looking than playing with a pick. Now, I have to play it with the metronome and reel the timing in a little so its not just 7 notes being playing in order.

Lauren, thank you sincerely for this lesson. But, I have a question about the G/B that you are using in this piece. The G/B chord that I was shown has a minor change to what you show. In mine, the only change that I make is, rather than putting my pinky on the third fret of the second string, I place it on the third fret of the first string. Your chord has the notes B D G & D. The one that I was shown has the notes B D G B & G. Am I incorrect? I would just like your help. Bill Baker in Toronto
