Fun fact about Ronnie, he never wrote down lyrics, they were all in his head when he brought them to the band

[@LaurenBateman]

Never knew that!

[@jessemiller1774]

This is very true.

[@adamlee9708]

He also wrote a lot of stuff while fish with the others playing at hell house

[@ChiefRightHand]

True about most great artists

[@user79592]

Hmmm 🤔. I'm gonna say they were in his heart ❤️

[@BlackMoonChild23]

I picked up my husband's guitar yesterday and randomly came across your videos. And now I can play a song. You take all the frustration out and keep the fun.

[@LaurenBateman]

That is awesome!

[@roboshark8252]

Lauren you were the first KZbin guitar teacher I learned from 3yrs ago. Iv since graduated to some more technical stuff but my foundation is all Bateman. Thanks again

[@LaurenBateman]

You are so welcome!

[@birdmanvon4090]

I don’t usually leave comments but this this was one of the best videos that I have ever used for learning guitar. I am currently taking classes and just trying to learn a little extra on the side for fun but the way you slow things down and show the charts the whole time is phenomenal!!! Thank you so much!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Wow, thank you!

[@user-zt4yu4fx9z]

she has posted a mountain of stuff to learn from. wether a NOOB MOOB OR POOB...always something to learn

[@eliirving8128]

I have barely held a guitar and this video gave me the motivation to start learning. I keep coming back to it. I now practice every day for hours. Thank you!

[@nclmbin8]

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome! Keep it up :D

[@amandaaldrich5598]

Me too

[@HIGH_VOLT4GE]

you are actually the only yt'er who teaches songs slowly and for actual beginners. First Bad Moon Rising and now Simple Man, thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

You're so welcome !

[@AjaxCrypto]

I have two items to thank Lauren Bateman for: I can now make my cord changes fast enough to keep up with this video and the complement from my wonderful wife of twenty years made. She recognized the song I was playing. 🙂

[@LaurenBateman]

You're so welcome! That’s awesome!

[@BanboyeConsty]

I enjoy following your guitar lessons Lauren. You are an amazing teacher

[@marcd1981]

Thank you for this video, Laura. I started to play many years ago in high school, but never made it to a solid intermediate level before life happened. I'm 60 now and my wife and I are setting up a music room in our home (she plays drums and I also started keyboards recently), so watching lessons like you showed here is a big help to bring up the level of my guitar playing.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hillers54]

Fabulous beginners tutorial Lauren and I love the baseline intro 😘😘😘

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you liked it!! 😊

[@markburgess4528]

Hi Lauren, Just found this video and love that you specialise in teaching seniors. At 61 as you specialise at teaching seniors I wish you were UK based and were near me. I just got my first guitar and found a tutor close by but is on holiday until mid October and I'm itching to start. Nothing like a bit of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Best wishes, Mark

[@JerryFulford]

I'm a 60 year old beginner, i have your beginner course. This song is what i aspire to and this video will help me greatly. I love your ways and find them most helpful. I also only have one arm which makes things a bit more difficult, so your easy chords are a great help. I have watched Dirk Thomson and have my chords worked out. My biggest problem is i can't play and sing, i go to pieces when i try.

[@LaurenBateman]

You can do it! Just take your time and keep on practicing :D

[@Lilpurplegrape]

Videos like yours are great for keeping people my level in the foundations and still yet interesting. I am happy playing some songs as close as possible instead of being frustrated with the exactness of my inspirations’ pro-level complexities. Thanks for sharing this!! Subbed. ❤ I’m your typical 55yo customer. Self taught lefty playing friends guitars upside down at first (18-22yo). Acquired my 1st.. a Tele knockoff and restrung it lefty for me. A friend who played showed me barred E, A and open D, C shapes and simple finger exercises. Bought several books. (Unfortunately, I’m a huge Alex Lifeson fan) So, gave up eventually ~ 25yo. Rekindled interest and bought a lefty Mexican Strat circa 1994 and still have it today, along with/ a 65W Marshall. Always picked it up (then with OLGA on internet) but have eventually stopped/started, etc. feeling plateaued. Lessons like yours help me stay with it and keep it fresh.

Hey Lauren, this video is just what I needed to get myself going on the guitar again. After trying to teach myself for a couple of years I plateaued out and stopped making progress, got discouraged and sold my guitar. I always intended to get back into it, but life got in the way and I never did. That was about 45 years ago. Now I'm one of those 70 somethings that you talk about in the video. I only wish I could have had this kind of instruction back then! But maybe there's still hope for me. Thanks for the great instruction, you make it so easy to follow. Cheers (PS-I got my old Takamine that I sold in 1978 back and also have a nice De Armond/Guild electric--so no excuses now)

[@LaurenBateman]

There will always be hope for you! It's never too late. I'm really glad to hear that you got back into it and I hope that my lessons would be helpful :D You can do it!
