Morning Miss Bateman I was watching your lesson on country roads. Switching from D to D7. I have found that using your 2&3 fingers and 4th finger for the D chord leaves the ability to go ahead and have the first finger already down on the B chord . It allows you to lift to lift the pinky and be on the D7 just by lifting the pinky. Is this assumption correct?

[@Acclvr]

Thanks!

Hundreds of guitar lessons on KZbin. But very few know how to teach. I think I found my teacher. ❤

Hits the spot... just at the right time, will be doing that! (Real probs. putting it all together... then adding the 'FAST', but it's a learning curve!) Really great intuition still of what it's like for learners! 👏

[@mickeli7155]

True story. Im age 61 from Sweden, bougt my first guitar summer 2022. Struggled with a few chords, followed some youtube vids. Everything changed, and this i true, when i found L B beginner vids. I havent taken any class from L B, just her free beginner vids, L B somehow made it possiböe for me, to make friend whit the guitar, and made me go from struggle with a few chords, to think in terms of music for my pleasure. Today, I still cant play one single song, but i can, master seven or so, basic chords, fingerpick on a classical and switch to strum on a steelstring.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Worldwarone853]

[@DRBDouble004]

Really simple but helpful strumming video. Accents really do help give flavor and meaning to each chord. My main struggle is to focus on strumming properly, especially if I try to sing, and for me I’ve learned that just going with the flow of it, and not forcing the pattern but building that feeling for your pattern helps more than forcing it

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, you got to go slow at first to sing and play at the same time.

[@AlkaMishra-zb9mb]

[@arnitamartin8403]

Do you have to use a pick or can you just use your thumb. I feel I am more “in touch” with the guitar w/o the pick. The pick “separates” me from the guitar.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thumb is totally fine, but, I tend to get more dynamics with a guitar pick.

[@kd_kissed]

Thx - nice Tips

[@LaurenBateman]

Happy to help

[@kd_kissed]

@@LaurenBateman I tried it out ride away, have a specific tip or exercise how to loosen up the grip and make the strumming more “light”

[@jimkontos4221]

I have a picking question do u think if you hit the base note would it make the chords sound better

[@LaurenBateman]

There are definitely different strumming techniques for that as well. On downstairs yes, on up strums. Not really.

[@Ernie-Tech]

Great lesson! I just started using a pick sometimes but always between thumb and both index and middle fingers, is there a reason you're using your middle finger only? Just found out that full size guitars are called 4/4 (neck width 53mm) and lots and lots of them (especially second hand) are in fact 3/4 (45mm) guitars for starters/kids/women or small build people. So I now bought an acoustic 4/4 guitar with nylon strings and hoping for more progress! Do you have any lessons on playing electric guitars, seeing your Gretsch Electromatic in the back on this vid!

Thanks for watching! It's a bad habit of mine

Get four picks of the same type and four different thicknesses. Go thorough the video exercises with each pick. Note the results. Live and learn. Then use what you observed....
