At 64 years old, and absolutely no musical talent ( I can’t even play the radio), I received my first guitar. Lauren is an absolutely amazing teacher, I am having a blast learning.

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome! You're never too old to learn!

[@annettesmiley4201]

Since I lost my husband, I have nothing I care to do. No more bucket list except that I have always wanted to play guitar. I live music and my husband loved when I sang. My health is….. well, I’m pretty skeletal. Broken heart can kill. I need this. I can’t afford to take lessons.

[@LaurenBateman]

I hope you find some solace in music. You got this!

[@tennesseeferry2882]

You are taking lessons! It will be healing just because you are focusing and concentrating on something. You’ll see. Good luck!

[@LonghairedOutlaw75]

I'll be 50 in just a couple of weeks. I bought a guitar and tried learning how to play a little over a decade ago, and it didn't go well at all. I ended up getting rid of the guitar. About a week ago I decided it was time to try again. So I went and bought another guitar, went thru a quick tuning tutorial, got it tuned, and started searching for online videos and lessons. I'm determined to learn and be successful this time. I'm an over the road truck driver, and I'm able to put in a little practice every day during down time. Having stumbled across your videos, and following along with what I'm sure are your getting started videos, I'm really liking what I'm already learning. In just the first 3-4 days, despite some fingertip soreness, I'm already noticing some improvement. I'm starting to get the hang of the spider walk exercise (though I'm still pretty slow), and I'm also seeing success with slow strumming and easy chord changes. I'm taking advantage of the easy - two finger chords right now, but it feels pretty good to see some progress in just the first few days. I've actually got 6 chords going, and I'm confident that success is going to continue. And as soon as I can, I will be going all in on your full 7 level program.

[@LaurenBateman]

It's great to hear about your progress! Keep it up!

Hi Butterfly! I just turned 65 in June on Marilyn Monroe's birthday (like every year, weird huh? lol) In the 60s when I was 8 or 9 my dad bought me an acoustic guitar, but I couldn't tune it. As you know, tuners are super easy to get and use nowadays. I sure wish I had THAT guitar, I do have 4 hangin' on the wall, but that first one... Thanks to KZbin and teachers like Lauren, we now have the chance to see our dreams come true! I wish you good luck and happy holidays!

[@ceciliabarton6211]

Lauren, you are the best teacher online. I admire your patience and knowledge. Really enjoy your lesson and it is helping me to play the guitar which I just started a year or so ago. I am on the 60’s too. It is possible! We can do this! Thank you again, Lauren.

[@n0bby_Barnden]

I'm a 60 year old newcomer to guitar (albeit with a lifetime of air guitar experience following a brief, unsuccessful dalliance with learning guitar when I was about 10 years old). I recently bought a battered Jeff Beck Les Paul lookalike because it looked cool as an objet d'art, but then found myself watching YT videos, getting more and more drawn to trying to learn again. After a fortnight or so of various tutorials (and guitar repair videos, as the old Les Paul is falling apart...), I've stumbled across this channel, and this is the first time the best playing position has been clearly explained - particularly with that note regarding making things comfortable for the more mature player. THANK YOU Lauren! I'll be following your tutorials and crash course from here onwards.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for following! keep on playing and have fun!

[@larryhinton3032]

I'm a 79 year old retiree and recently bought my first guitar. I always wanted to learn how to play one but felt hampered because of having rather short fingers, my middle finger on either hand is right 3 and 7/8 inches in length, I was told by the widow of a farmer class mate who run a music store for years that it shouldn't make any difference so after all these years I bought my 1st guitar. I started watching different y-tube videos and found that Lauren Bateman seems the best for beginners. My tastes learn towards older country and Southern Gospel style of music.

I am so happy to have found you today !! I Have played guitar before with my Uncle's Cajun BAND 30 years ago. Played with friends and even would draw the chords on paper for them. Had an injury to my left hand and couldn't play like I used to and stopped ! 7-30‐23 went into a pawn shop and saw a cheap telecaster and asked to see it and felt better than the T-60 - 1970s.model and have been relearning to play mostly on my own.. I called it short cut chords? You proved me RIGHT TODAY!! Using the 2 fingers aproach that I have been told is wrong ? My left fingers can't curl at the top joint so a lot of what I saw you teach today and the strumming also will prove a lot of people wrong and including myself !! I APPLAUD YOU GREATLY !! BEST ON TEACHING GUITAR I HAVE SEEN EVER !! OMG!! INSPIRATION FOR ME!! Don't STOP TEACHING PLEASE !! YOU would be missed more than you can IMAGINE !! LUV those Skynyrd tunes !!

"Many of them have Arthritis and other things" LOL, sounds like me fersure. I've had somewhere around 20 injuries which include 14 fractures, a TBI or two, an injury to my heart helped out a bit by a cardiac pacemaker and other super cool things! I've also had 11 (Eleven) surgeries and counting! The fractures are all skull fractures, spinal fractures, joint fractures and long-bone spiral fractures. Zero finger or toe fractures, 'cause those are for Newbies! Furthermore, I do NOT have Fat-Fingers. LOL I DO have quite a few disabilities, but I do practice my digital drums using just my arms ( a few times a month, which is way up from a few times a year) I have a really hard time with my guitars due to my left hand, but I take one down when my body lets me, and I noodle for a while when I'm feeling creative. I practice my vocals several times a week, especially when I'm writing. I've been writing lyrics for over 40 years, ever since I woke up from my coma. Sounds like BS? I would think so too but I have the scars and x-rays to prove it. I found you this evening and I'm subbin' just as soon as this comment is finished. Ya-know, it's so weird being the same age as old people! But after suffering for 44 years, I have finally made it to "old age". Thank you on behalf of the Disabled, Seniors, retirees and just lovers of guitar. Music, like laughter, can be so beneficial and really is the best medicine.

[@PeterSzaban]

Hi Lauren! No laughing please, but how do you get guitar picks out from inside the acoustic guitar body? I finally got mine out by rolling a piece of tape into a ring with the sticky side out, and sticking it onto the end of a pencil. I then could put the end of the pencil with tape on it into the sound hole, stick it onto the picks and pull them out. Whew!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching! That is a good method and a lot of students are doing that. One way is to shake your guitar until the pick is positioned at the middle of the sound hole. Then you flip your guitar as fast as you can and the pick will eventually drop at the sound hole. As we say, practice make progress.
