I don't know what I like more...the car, the radio, the black solid body, the guitar you're playing, or you. Ah, who'm I kidding...I LOVE them all equally!! Great lesson, Lauren!! Cheers!! :)

Ha ha thanks. Love Camaros. I have a 1968 and a 2019.

@@LaurenBateman Cool!! When I got out of the Navy, the first new car I ever bought was a 1969 Mustang 302 Boss, four speed, no A/C. and just an AM radio. Off the showroom floor for $2750. Can't buy a decent used car today for that price! Love your lessons! Cheers, Lauren!! :)

I've looked at a few fornthis song and this one is the best.

[@MJ-lw2xc]

Hey, Lauren! Rookie with fat fingers here!!! I love this and excited to learn this one! Any advice on learning how to quickly learn to switch between chords? Probably just LOTS and LOTS of practice? I appreciate your teaching style!

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah lots of back and forth. Focus on two chords at a time. Example C and D back and forth over and over and over again

[@patgaff2536]

Good to see you again with another lesson. I hope all is good in your world.

I am 54 and now I want to know it. Always dreamed of playing guitar. I had a try in the age of 14 but other things seemed to be more important. I am very happy with your video and I love that you break it down in little steps. You really help me a lot and it's grat fun to listen to you. I like the way how you explain things. Please continue your great videos, it's a big help and motivates very much. Thank you.👍

[@michaelsmusic3532]

Lauren Good choice for a song for many reasons ! Well ... anything by Neil Young is awesome. May I suggest that you keep adding some electric lessons to your arsenal ? As you know since it's an electric we don't need overdrive all the time, mabey adding a dash of chorus/delay effect and go over some Pink Floyd might be an idea ? Wish you were here would make a good lesson, easy enough for beginner to intermediate players. The song wish you were here was the last song that I ever played with my band before thier tragic deaths and most people know what it sounds like. You did an awesome job with the electric, it's been my main instrument for 40+ years so I should know. Teacher gets A+++++ lol Awesome work that you are doing Lauren, so many people are getting into playing music because of work that you are doing and music improves our quality of life on so many ways. Music is a gift of God and great will be your rewards in heaven ! (yes I'm just a pot smoking Jesus freak lol) I'm glad to have found your channel, .... you inspire me :) I'll have some new vids on my channel soon also ! Rock on Lauren

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes I will be adding some more. 😃

You sure can!!!

[@GreenDawn8993]

Wow Lauren, the Epitome of a Relevant Guitar lesson for all of those in Ukraine; furthermore, At Last an impeccable Tutorial of a Song I have always wanted to learn. Your step by step breakdown and analysis of the Chords and Strumming pattern has been Extraordinary for me ! :)

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thank you Chuck. Yes very timely.

[@pkortalk]

Hi Lauren. Well done. As always. Sent you bunch of beginners to your site for lessons . They Love your methodology and personality. In 66 years of learning practicing playing sessions, bands figuring out rifts. I figure I Logged about 200,000 hours or 22 years of my life. Was it worth it? No regrets. Just worked that out for my own curiosity.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@malcolmdavis1730]

Big league ( Tom Cochran’s ) acoustic would be cool.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you, Malcom for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.

Hye madam, do you have any plucking lesson guitar?

[@LaurenBateman]

Finger picking? Do a search for my name and fingerpicking

[@steveganis8501]

Hi Lauren, FYI you posted a link to the Ibanez AEG121INT and Amazon shows "currently unavailable" ..I also checked Guitar Center, and it's not available online there either. I see it has Ibanez preamp with Fishman pickups---is AE pre-amp as good, as say, Fishman preamp?, I know Fishman preamp and pickups avail on Mitchell Terra a/e guitars, which I never played but I see are priced at around $275. .

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes Ibanez is having shortages due to COVID. Anything in the AE series is great.

[@LeviBrown47]

Hello Lauren I was wondering where we could find the bpm for the songs you are teaching so we can practice the strumming speed and cord changes, or so we can work up to proper bpm?

[@LaurenBateman]

I would use a metronome and tap along. My phone has one that you can tap along with and it will tell you the tempo. I never worry about the tempo I play the songs. I go for close enough.

[@Jack.Waters]

.....and I'm forever in blue jeans. lol Well Done!
