Thank you lauren from phillipines.

[@LaurenBateman]

Hello!

[@mikefaunce100]

As I sit here practicing Pretty Women and Wild Thing, I am reminded how fortunate I am to have found your You Tube sight...!!!! Yeah,Yeah,Yeah...!!!! Beatle Mike

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you found me Mike

[@Jimgoodwin846]

No kidding! Pretty woman is my all time favorite song from Roy Orbison especially from the “Black and White Night” it reminds me of my wife who went to be with Jesus five years ago. Can’t wait to get good enough to play that one. Lets see I’m on my third day of your course now. I can’t tell you how much your style of teaching means to me as a beginner. You are awesome thanks again.

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh that's awesome Jim!

[@rickb0109]

Good lesson and I like the options for F#m

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome

[@brendachristopher2693]

Thank you Lauren, I'm a 66 year old beginner and I've been enjoying your excellent tutorials. I appreciate that you suggest alternative easier chords and strumming patterns for beginners.

[@LaurenBateman]

You are so welcome!

[@billgreen6263]

Great Lesson! Thanks. "Crying" would be a good one.

[@LaurenBateman]

Great suggestion!

[@Jimgoodwin846]

Lauren thanks for this song…one of my Roy O. Favorites. I think I have progressed where I can play this one…now.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome! So glad to know that!

[@markgrace145]

Sounds great with the syncopated strumming !! Love RO !!

[@renatecyrulla8616]

Thank you Lauren ! I love your lessons . You are a realy good and articulate teacher. Cheers Renate

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you!

[@enduringpromise]

Saying the word AND during the strumming pattern really helps.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome!

[@enduringpromise]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. This lesson is fantastic. For years I have learned some open cords but could not strum any cool patterns. I can finally strum and move through the open cords fairly well. I am about to retire and this is going to be the first song I am really going to sit and practice with. I am going to use this video as my guide.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thx for responding regarding my question fretting an electric versus acoustic. I am starting from scratch, do not have a guitar but have always wanted an electric, so diving in with an buying an electric, I am an older student and already watching your videos before I have the guitar this has already helped give me confidence, so thx

[@LaurenBateman]

No worries! Rock on!

Thank you so much mrs. Lauren❤

[@LaurenBateman]

You are so welcome!

[@grandyco]

you are the best one on youtube. can you do unchained melody?

[@LaurenBateman]

That's a great one.

[@georgesmith651]

Really like your videos. Have tried to learn guitar on an acoustic back when but found the strings difficult to press down to hear a good sound so got discouraged and lessons were not cheap. My question to you is, I would like to get another guitar but I want to start out with an electric for beginners, I believe it would be easier to press the strings. U make it look very simple, thx

[@LaurenBateman]

It is easier to practice pressing the strings if you use an electric guitar. But if you wan't to use your acoustic, I suggest that you use lighter gauge strings.

[@dianasantiago7164]

Thanks have a great day Lauren and thanks.🌈practice🍎🙏

Factoid, The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were an English-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. August 29th, 1964 "Oh, Pretty Woman" or "Pretty Woman" is a song recorded by Roy Orbison, written by Orbison and Bill Dees. It was released as a single in on August 29th, 1964 on Monument Records and spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 from September 26, 1964, the second single by Orbison to top the US charts.

The Pretty Woman riff was one of the first riffs I learned 25 years ago.

Lauren: That is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. Can you tell me please the model of your Crafter guitar. It has an awesome acoustic sound. I'm currently in the market for a new guitar.

[@LaurenBateman]

This is a Crafter Twin Birds 32nd anniversary model.

[@billkoetting5197]

Lauren, Love your lessons. Some of your listeners my want to listen, for inspiration, Roy Orbison, black and white night 30 recordings Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman (Black & White Night 30) - KZbin He uses dual lead guitars. I don't know the name of the first one using the Paisley Tele but the second solo is by Bruce Springsteen, with Elvis Costello on rhythm acoustic, he also played piano and harmonica in other of his songs, Bonnie Ryatt is a back ground singer in some also. Roy was even more famous in England with the Beatles as an opening act in his London concert.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks Bill. Will check it out.

[@jacktolhurst1502]

I can’t seem to find the lick for the song. But love how you teach

Hey, you've a Crafter guitar! Very nice instrument and you don't see that many in the US. I've got one, as well!

[@LaurenBateman]

No you don't. Thank you for noticing!

[@ilovegitaar]

thx,,,Q: the D chord in the verse isn't that for 6 beats..4/4+2/4

[@LaurenBateman]

I think someone else mentioned that I counted wrong. Must have had an ADD moment.

[@philam1973]

At 3:23 you state it’s 2 bars of D. I struggled with this for a long time before I realized it was a bar and a half before it goes to E for 4 1/2 bars,then the riff

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for letting me know. My sincerest apologies. Maybe I can do some editing to fix that. Even after 20+ years of playing guitar I apparently still count wrong 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@philam1973]

@@LaurenBateman not to worry. Suggestion only. I worked on this song for years on and off. Couldn’t get it right when playing along and playing on my own never sounded right. Always thought there was another chord somewhere. Timing was the fix. Don’t know why you hum after a while. You have a good voice. Unless you can’t remember the lyrics...LOL. Still enjoyed your lesson. Alway like to see people who like to share their love of music.
