You are literally one of the best guitar teachers. I'm so grateful to have found you. Thank you for teaching this!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you very much. Glad you think so :D

[@MrNino44]

Been watching you for several months and am convinced you are the best guitar instructor for beginners . I wish I could take personal lessons from you.

[@LaurenBateman]

Nino, that is so kind of you. Truly. Glad to help in any way I can.

[@angelocastro9747]

Same here! I totally agree!

You are awesome as a teacher! It looks simple, yet it’s kind of tricky. Thank you.

Thank you Lauren for explaining this hard song. You still sound great even with some minor misses on those diminished chords, but that makes you human and we love you for it. We are not perfect and it is all about fun.

[@LaurenBateman]

No I'm definitely not perfect. 🥰

Today I really understood how to play down up down up. Your explanation is easy to understand.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome!!!

[@angelocastro9747]

Lauren you break down beautifully for a beginner, all the steps, I really appreciate it and I’m learning more from you than any other online player because you do it slowly and show clearly how to hit these notes, please keep it up!!

Love love love this song and your amazing lesson on playing it. If I wasn't holding my guitar when you mentioned a sloppy diminished chord and how it's all about having fun I would have applauded.

Thanks for the lesson, Lauren! All Things Must Pass is my favorite solo album by a Beatle! I need to work on the Bm and F chords. I’m ok on the rest. Three other songs from that album that have embedded themselves in my DNA are the title track, Isn’t It a Pity, and Apple Scruffs. Love, love, love them!

[@LaurenBateman]

Hey Chris, thanks for the recommendations. I don't know if I actually know those ones. I'll have to look into them.

[@Barbarapape]

One of my favorite songs, but not an easy one to learn, and without an electric guitar sound after the first few chords it sounds like something is missing. This one will take a lot of practice,(which is a good thng), one to learn the chords then get the strumming right before trying to add the electic guitar, now where is my looper? Thanks for an excellent lesson Lauren.🙂

Definitely not for beginners. Have fun with it

[@stevenprince9907]

Hi Lauren. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have watched a couple of others. For me this is the best one. You go into great detail of the strumming pattern which is really good especially showing the diagram of the pattern. Its very hard but I will get there. BTW the guitar on the wall is a lovely looking one. Just changing the subject (I digress lol) The model car on the radio is that a Starsk and Hutch replica? I had a Datsun Sunny, which you probably not know, your to young, in the same colours. I loved that little car. Can you tell me where I can get the same one as yours. Sorry about the long comment 😀

[@LaurenBateman]

Steven, the guitar is a George Harrison model Gretsch and the car is a Camaro. I have a red 68. My Dad bought it for me years ago. Maybe Amazon?

Lauren, great video...thanks...Why the Capo?

Probably to eliminate a ton of crazy chords.

[@sanantoniosbestrealtor]

Hey Lauren, great job. This is my first time seeing one of your videos. What caught my attention and got me to click on your thumbnail is that it seems you have the exact same acoustic guitar that I have. You probably have several, but I only have one. It's a Taylor 524ce. Is that what you're playing? It looks like that's what you're playing

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you so much for watching! It's a Taylor 324ce Builder's Edition :D

[@Stringbean421]

I love this song. The first half is lovely to play because of the open strings on the chords but the second half is tricky because of all those barre chords and it doesn't sound as nice in that 2nd key. Doesn't George Harrison play this on a 12 string acoustic which probably sounds better when playing this song on your own.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@denisprieur7944]

Laura, sometimes in this lesson, you change the strumming pattern! I think it's a mistake you didn't realise, especially in the second part!

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Denis, thing is, when you become a better player, your hand takes on a mind of its own. 🤦‍♀️ Especially when singing. Most songs don't play the same pattern all the way through. Eventually, even the greatest artists I promise and flow at time.

[@johnr7115]

I'll go with Laura on this one. Rigid adherence to strumming patterns are not my strong suit. I don't think it hurts her presentation. She starts by demonstrating the recorded pattern and if she deviates along the way, people who care can just stick to the one she demonstrated.

[@sean3994]

Good on you for being brave enough to butcher a song on the channel. Shows you are human after all. I'm not a fan of Capos and when you mentioned that this song is essentially played in chord pairs I worked out the bar chords and, with a little butchering of my own, played along. What I found amusing is when you said "butchering" I though George, Vegan, Hinduism and Krishna?! lets just say your working on it.

[@LaurenBateman]

Ha ha ha. Yeah you could definitely Barre the whole thing for sure.

Hey, supergirl. Can we be friends? I wonder. I came across you because I wanted to learn that song. I love guitar, and I know u do too. Your dedicated. My name is Leonard and iam from Brisbane in the land of Oz. I think your lovely and would really appreciate your friendship if you like. Subbed. Iam also a dedicated player. Got a couple of les Paul's. I love guns and roses. Nirvana, greenday metallica. Been doing cat stevens and powderfinger. Greenday . Neil Young. Travelling wilburys and that is when I came across gorge Harrison. Put the electrics away. I always thought he was saying my sweet love. Not lord. I grew up thinking that it was a love song. It is but I thought it was towards a woman not religious. The idiosyncrasies of life hey. Peace and kindness. Regards from Leonard. It is a really beautiful song. Little wing and angel by jimi hendrix are beautiful songs to. I am gonna have to grow some extra fingers for those ones on acoustic 😅.

[@mikefinley4367]

Singing, s not your gift.

[@LaurenBateman]

Being a good human is definitely not one of your gifts ☺️

[@mikefinley4367]

It's like me, I can't sing worth a damn. Small animals run for miles and I won't do it but I can write. A neighbor and I enjoyed watching The Voice, I mentioned this fact about writing and he said I was full of it because in two or so years he never saw me do it. I had his parents and neighbors bring ear to ear along with him. My muse seems to visit once or twice a year, nothing to live off as the average song sells for about five grand and you pretty much need to be where the industry is located, willing to party with them doing heavy drinking , drugs or both. Fake, just isn't worth it, play because you enjoy it .
