Im an old timer 'beginner' Lauren here in the UK. I bought my first steel strung folk guitar in 1983 yep a long time ago, but I gave up as I wasn't properly committed at age 25. So in 1985 I returned to the classical guitar this time with a few formal lessons, then again more recently when I bought another guitar ( an acoustic cut away Ibanez - a lovely thing) a couple years ago, as a present to me when I finally retired from my 9-5 job. I have to say as an 'older learner' I find you method of teaching really understandable for me because I was thinking I was just plain slow or even dim musically, my fingers dont always do what I want but I love the way you teach time and strum patterns together. I really appreciate your fret hand close ups....of all the teachers on line I find it really easy to comprehend the way you teach. Well done, I am hooked again YAY....and I am subscribed to your channel for sure ! Thankyou.

[@LaurenBateman]

Brian, thank you for subscribing. So happy to have you watching the channel and learning from the lesson. Also, congratulations on your retirement! If you are looking for my blueprint to learning the guitar, definitely check out my 7 Level Guitar System: www.laurenbatemanguitar.com/courseyt Has all the exercises you need, print outs, play along lessons, etc. Would love to help you get that guitar singing.

Now that i have my guitar, the question is how i am going to use it or perhaps the right question is, how can i register to an online course. 🤭

[@debbieadame8176]

Lauren, you are by far THE best KZbin guitar teacher I've watched so far. You take everything step by step in easy to understand "chunks" that makes it very easy for a beginner (like me) to understand. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you so much!

[@ArchieBert-t3j]

Hi Lauren just to say this 75 year old novice really enjoys what you do so expertly, my first ever post reply, just a relative novice but I am blessed to be able to learn, cant get out much but my new found learning the guitar is so helpful. Big thanks, hope you get this message, keep on and teaching us "oldies" as well as your many younger followers. Great joy. Archie.

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thanks for commenting Archie. So happy to be helping you.

Hi Lauren. Thank U again. It has been one of my most favourite songs. And I practiced it, the first song ever, on guitar, today. Sometimes, the exhilaration is so much that I'm word stuck to express how I feel about the entire experience, which involves the 🎸, U, the song, your teaching, my learning & practice. And at last the miracle of me playing the song which, once upon a time, I used to consider it as a sheer fantasy. 🙏🙏🙏

Lauren, first one of your vids I have seen, excellent lesson for us " more mature" students, thank you so much. Might I suggest adding a full run through of the song with what you have shown so that the less musical i.e me, know where to put each piece, chords, walkdown, lick that might make having a full piece a little quicker. But all up great, you haven't seen the last of me.Thank you
