Great to hear!

[@karisumner4709]

I need to relax just like you said, using the .50 Dunlop pick. Adding this workout to my practice routine starting today.

[@wilsonvic]

That's my problem I'm very awkward and tense n my hand don't do right.

[@rtt1961]

As always, great.

Each beginner must to watch this video man!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks so much :D

[@matthewkear1]

You really cover the basics and fundamentals well, and I absorb all this as if I were brand new. I've been playing a long, long time (and occasionally sound pretty decent), but admit to some bad habits. I'm very happy to have found your channel! ❤😊

[@myas9974]

Thank you Lauren❤

[@aselvaraj6462]

perfect teaching

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@GeoffreyHomer-v5z]

As a 65 yr old beginner i loved this lesson couldn't keep up with the chord changes but loved it anyway. definitely something to aspire too as a short term goal . my aim would be to accomplish this in 3 months time. Making the chords is not the problem its the changes in time to the beats have added this lesson to my daily practice schedule hope you don't mind ,and i am not breaking any copyright laws.

[@LaurenBateman]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@doublepanthers3088]

It's a moody morning featuring the EM chord. Thanks for the lesson, Lauren. My strumming and timing are less than stellar. I thought I was great. Then I listened to a recording of myself lol.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're so welcome! Just take your time and keep on practicing :D

[@wilsonvic]

How is it going now? Hopefully you haven't quit.

[@doublepanthers3088]

@@wilsonvic Quit? Never! I enjoy it too much to consider quitting. That said, the metronome and I remain mortal enemies, lol.

[@wilsonvic]

Happy to help!

[@josephgalasso8780]

I just started learning to Play Sugar Sugar By The Archies The strumming pattern is tricky ! There is a cool little riff too ! (the riff is optional ) And the chord progression is tricky too !There are 2 patterns one a little simpler than the other ! The more difficult pattern sounds much better , but according to videos I viewed all the teachers said it took them time to master the technique ! Have you ever attempted to play the song ?

[@LaurenBateman]

I do know the song. I played it many moons ago with a student. I will have to see if I still have the chart.

[@kimk.8719]

[@steveflatbush]

You're a rock star figuratively and literally! I do find the exercise difficult in being consistent about it, but have been practicing on it and improving. I find it easier to do 3/4 time though, for some reason.

Great strumming lesson! Thanks

[@EasyEd02]

Hi Lauren, I just bought into the strumming and faster better chords courses. They do look good. I had lessons a few years ago but never got enuff dexterity and speed but I did learn where a lot of chords are and have a bunch of songs all tabbed out to work on so definitely not a waste. What drew me in aside from your teaching style is who could possibly not be interested in lessons from a teacher with a g5420t hangin on the wall. First guitar I ever bought was an electromatic 5420. You ever play it? Looks like it has dynas the pickups I'd like. As far as music I mainly like its country country rock an bluegrass. You do any molly tuttle like crooked tree or the super fast olympia washington. Well ill get started in the morning....

[@The51Jasmine]

You are a wonderful teacher and I am learning a LOT watching your videos. I am a older, older learner. Wish I would have started years ago but that's water under the bridge. As a older learner the metronome is difficult to hear when strumming and watching video. Drum machine works a lot better for me, plus it feels more real if you know what I mean. Its just a suggestion from me too you. Either way works, right?!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@AussieWoodyGirl]

As always an excellent tute. I leant the two strumming patterns I know using the metronome as you described, varying the tempo. However this exercise is excellent because it covers multiple patterns. So I'll definitely be adding it to my daily routine after the finger stretches. Thanks Lauren

Thanks, I needed this. I still panic a little on the upstrums.

You can do it!

[@LMacNeill]

"On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings..." 🙂 Om the 100 bpm exercise, I kept expecting the Em to turn into whatever that 2nd chord in _Horse With No Name_ is... D-something over 9 or whatever it is -- I know you've done a lesson on it..

[@catherinebiggstaff3747]

Great workòut ì have almosr got level 2 BUT is there another video where Lauren explains how to upstrum? Sounds easy but to a complete beginner like me i am sure it is more than keeping your wrist relaxed..

[@CharlieJoe07]

I really enjoy your teaching method and videos. I have tried to strum a pattern to imitate a Harley motorcycle rhythm (lubbaity, lubbity, lubbity). Do you have any patterns or suggestions how to approach it? Thanks, Charlie Joe Weir

[@michaelowens3803]

Thanks Lauren great information. My one question as a newbie. Is it necessary to use a pick or can I use my thumb. Again thanks

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching! It is not necessary to use a pick. It always depends on what you prefer.

Stumming pattern practice 👍 like😊❤

Thank you! 😃

[@TheWild_Living_Nature]

I don’t request many songs-Will you please do “With or Without You” by U2? I have been practicing your humming while I play songs now-I can feel this is going to help because I’m less focused on strumming. I’m determined to sing while playing. It’s frustrating know songs over 6 years-and can’t sing one.

[@LaurenBateman]

For your song request, please use the form in this link: www.laurenbateman.com/faq/

[@prestonbuffington954]

I'll start using this as my practice routine. My question is moving my 3rd finger 1st going from G/D works well but I'm faster moving my 1st 2 fingers 1st from D/G works. It's the same D/C / C/D. Is this ok or is it best to learn 2b consistent by moving 3rd finger always 1st? Just want to learn the right way the 1st time. Enjoying your 7 level system. Thanks.

[@LaurenBateman]

If that works for you, go for it! Glad you're loving the course!!!

[@prestonbuffington954]

@@LaurenBateman Thanks for your reply, have a great weekend.

[@shannonmarble2359]

I am confused and can't catch an answer. When you do strumming do you start over with every chord change even if you can't get the full measure? I don't recall any video that explains that. Or I am just missing it in a video of yours. 🤔

[@LaurenBateman]

Every chord

[@saraloking5993]

I had to laugh when you said "That sounds great!" Haha! Not here, it didn't, but I am a real beginner. This was a great lesson. I'll be setting my metronome to a slower speed to go through that chord progression exercise again. 😆

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on!!

[@actie-reactie]

Thanks again for this tutorial....but I have a question... I allready play some piano, and started about 3 months ago with guitar....but I really dislike using a pick....is it possible to play almost all sings without a pick....or is a pick absolutely necessary?

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching! You can play all songs without a pick. It is not necessary .

[@esinsonat675]

.. thanks.. thanks.. thanks.. 🙏🙏🙏 i have a question for you, I would appreciate it if you could help me.. 🤔 - I can't quite tune the 'G' string on both my steel string guitar and nylon string guitar, I can't get the tone I want, do you think that's normal ?.. 😕😟 (I have a lot of problems, especially with nylon wire.. 😮‍💨) (actually, I'm tuning my guitar exactly, but the tone coming out of the 'G' string is not pleasant to my ear, I don't like it..) . is the problem on the wires ?., , on the guitar ?., or do I have it ?.. .. .

[@LaurenBateman]

Please use a Guitar Tuner and if it still not work you can go to a luthier to have your guitar checked

[@skillenglishstepbystep]

Excellent. But how hard I try my rhythm goes wrong when I try to play with any one signing. Plz suggest how to solve it.

[@Fringe_Benefits]

That final 4 chord exercise would make a superb TikTok loop, I would probably play it 100 times in a row....

[@musicallinda21]

my ears picked up on it and it’s so beautiful song called perfect by Ed Sheeran. It’s amazing that she played those notes. I wanted to learn it lol I love her classes.🌟❤️

[@mahanishpanda878]

Should i have to hit all the strings while upstrums

[@LaurenBateman]

No, maybe only bottom 3 or 4

[@rc4158]

Madam ,suffering difficulties when sliding back with fingers..please guide..

[@LaurenBateman]

at first it will be difficult but with practice and exercise it will be much more easier. Also, please check your guitar. If you are having hard time pressing chords you might need to have it checked
