You helped me out so much. I got a guitar last year and looked up other videos for beginners but only showed the three finger method for every note and it ended up causing me a lot of pain. After numerous failed attempts at trying to learn, my guitar pretty much became a decoration for almost a year. Yesterday, I decided to give it another shot and that's when I came across this video. Your methods actually got me to play notes and now I can finally learn. What I love is that you actually repeat all the steps to keep it fresh. Thank you for making me feel confident enough to continue.

I think out of the three videos I've seen today from you Lauren, this one was the most helpful. Two things stand out to me. First, you showed an Easy D, which I was looking for to play. The second was how you mentioned the transition between Easy G and Easy D, which I didn't know before. The sequence of chords G Em C Em also is helpful so I can get used to playing. I have in my head now about how to get better playing Amazing Grace, which I hear is a great song to play at the beginner's level. I wrote down on paper the chords so that I can begin to memorize them. This video is really, really good, so thanks for the time and effort you put into it.

[@larrygoodson7182]

Hi Lauren, I'm an 84 year old guy who is determined to learn guitar, at least enough to strum a few chords to popular songs. Your teaching method and close ups make it the most effective teaching technique I have found on line and in person lessons. I wish you were in South Florida. My biggest problem so far is muting strings due to the heel of my hand touching the strings and I'm finding it difficult to overcome no matter where I move my thumb. Any suggestions? BTW, the icing on the cake is that you're also the prettiest guitar instructor I have ever seen.

[@LaurenBateman]

Larry, hello! I actually just landed in Miami today for a conference. That's a very common problem you have and unfortunately, there are many possible reasons for this. Most likely it is your wrist placement. I will try to explain this as best as possible. What I want you to do is to drop your fretting hand down to the side and then bring it up to your guitar around the neck. This is the most natural position for you to hold your guitar. You also want to make sure that the body of your guitar is straight up and down not lying at an angle on your stomach.

[@larrygoodson7182]

@@LaurenBateman Lauren, Thanks so much for your reply. Wish I knew you were in Miami or I would have driven down from Delray just to say hello in person. In any case, I'm concentrating on keeping the guitar angled neck up and even bought a wide strap that helps me do that while standing and even sitting, but I guess it just needs more concentration and practice time. This is not going t o be an easy task but I know it's worth it if i can stay the course.

Hi Lauren, I am an absolute beginner. I keep the tuner on my guitar and when Im practicing these chords im watching the tuner all the time to see if the chords im playing are right if you know what I mean? It is getting me frustrated though because most of the time Im not playing them right as different notes come up on the tuner. Sorry to everyone if I sound daft here and this is not what I should be doing at all. Im attempting to teach myself through youtube!

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes because when you play chords you are playing multiple notes and strings. I doesn't work that way. Only one string at a time.

I will be 63 at the end of the month and my nephew has talked me into trying a guitar again. Ive been doing some research and have a few picked out to look at more seriously but i got a notion today and went to 2 pawn shops and bought 1 guitar from each. The first was a cheap plucking get used to strumming guitar , 60$. The second is actually very nice a Greg Bennett that sounds beautiful and csme with a nice cushioned soft case. Ive been looking over a few instructors on you tube and i find your teaching style to be my favorite. I have subscribed and look forward to learning a lot. Thank you for your desire to teach this incredible instrument. ✌

Hi Lauren, I’m a newbie, however from the few teachers I have tried to learn from, you are far superior in your guitar lessons. You make it sound more precise and easier with your methodology. I’m trying😃 Thank you!

Thanks Lauren! That was amazing 🎶💯👍. I had watched so many other videos of how to play simple guitar 🎸 chords and you are the best so far 1000%. You take your time explaining set by step also repeating multiple times to make sure we get it correct. You Rock🎸 girl.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenbynum1398]

Thank you, I was having trouble trying to learn the Em chord through an app I'm using. Your video made it easier. And as a bonus I learned 3 other chords. Thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it helped!

Many of my kin folk played some type of stringed instrument. My grand dad, my uncles and even an aunt played the guitar the violin, or fittle they called it. Banjo and mandolin. One of my uncles could play a 12 string guitar proficiently. The harmonica was played by my grand dad and a couple uncles. Being from west Virginia music was a common thing for many families in that state. Blue grass and country. And even rock is a part of WV life style. I tried to learn guitar on my own and never learned any cords at all but doing my own thing sounded pretty good to me and others. After all music is in my blood. But after listening to constant badgering that I played the same things to much I finally gave in to pressure and stopped learning the guitar. I'm 62 now and have the itch once again. And with no one around to badger me, it's on. Glad I came across this channel. I'm learning real cords now. Thank you.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad to be helping you 😊

[@craigoliver4631]

Thank you Lauren. As a beginner this was invaluable and so well explained

[@oliverthomas8142]

I had never learned a chord before this video. Struggled along just learning tablature. This is brilliant. A few mins of viewing, and I have reason to believe I have figured out e minor and simple c. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Lauren. No wonder, U left scientific research for teaching guitar. U still r into real research only, in crafting guitar lessons for beginners & others, foreseeing it's futuristic application too. Ur r a real researcher, lucky v r, for being blessed with and benefitted from ur beautifully designed lessons. I go through all ur lessons, then I fall back to initial lessons, find something new again to learn. And I feel great. I started spending at least 3 hours listening to U & practising guitar everyday. I feel great and contented. 😊. Thank U. I owe u, for ur role, in my value addition. 🙏🙏🙏.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you!

Omg, this is the lesson I needed. How you demonstrate anchor points has given me hope. I couldn't wrap my brain around the transitions. Thank you.

[@LaurenBateman]

Happy to help!

[@bobwoz100]

I really like your teaching style. I have been playing on and off for many years, how ever I was holding the strings in an awkward position. I like the way that I am now finding the frets, my hand does not get sore as much as when I pick the strings. Thank you for the lessons. bw

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome! You're welcome!

[@user-rv3zo2ri1d]

In one night I learned strumming and the basic chords. You made it so easy. I had been trying for years and I always gave up. But now I can't believe I can play so good. Thanks
