I am not very good at learning things quickly but I can tell you that I understand your teachings easily and in one go. You are great. Thanks

[@LaurenBateman]

Well that's great!

[@rachelcook5697]

Yes she's amazing!!!! Ive had head fractures and numerous injuries making it hard to learn .I learn from her very first time Everytime!!!! Humble Beautiful Music Instructor

[@cro3678]

saved my life with this one. dont understand everybody giving “beginner” guides to scales and then proceed to complicate it as much as possible. way to just fucking show us the scales, no added bs. i love it thank you

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@brianfoster6605]

After frustration with other methods, I must say you are the first one that made the “light bulb” come on in my head. Great stuff!

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad I was able to help 😃

[@driversseat523]

She should be an electrician because my bulb lit up too.

[@Rick-wx4md]

I just broke through... thank you... I have been so frustrated on my guitar that I just needed to see a way slowed down and well explained video to get what I need to take guitar from rhythm to lead and back again. You really did a great teach Lauren. I owe you. I subbed and liked.

[@LaurenBateman]

You can do it!

[@yurigagarin5805]

This is the best video for someone who needs a basic intro to the pentatonic scale on the guitar. Very straight forward teaching. Thank you.

[@itzalex0522]

Literally the only person helping me learn scales. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!❤❤❤

[@LaurenBateman]

You're so welcome!

[@jimmcclanahan]

60 years old and 6 months into learning guitar. I watched this video about two weeks ago and have practiced playing parts of the scale up and down like you show. This evening it just clicked. Still a lot of practice to do, but it sounds like music. This is a great approach. Thanks!

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome! I'm really glad the video lesson was helpful :D Keep on rockin'!!

[@anthonyslattery8808]

I've been a student of yours for 18 months -2 years now and without doubt you are the best of the best guitar teacher . Simple break down in a no nonsense but fun way.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you so much!

[@samwaters1146]

Just ran across your videos. Been a player for years , all by ear! Tried lessons with no real luck. You are the first to mention working within the scale not just playing the full scale over and over…. Great teacher, excellent at what you do! Thank you for the “light bulb” moment!

[@rimusta]

Light bulb moment is so right.

[@monicatomaselli2726]

Thank you for making this dumb-proof and for always being so clear and patient! I don’t know how many videos on how to play a pentatonic scale I have watched (for beginners) and still couldn’t figure out where to put my fingers! You really are the best! ❤

[@louisdirect]

I finally got it!!! Thank you so much. You unlocked my fingers on the fretboard with this lesson. I am slow but my fingers land at the right place and I am getting better every day and I can now follow the A chord backing track on KZbin. What an accomplishment.

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on!

[@Alicia0026]

Another great lesson! I'm excited to work on this. Thank you Lauren🥰

[@Recovery12Life]

Also its great to name the notes or even sing the note names also to begin memorizing the fret board

[@MrStryker223]

Thank you! I hadn’t understood that a scale is a SHAPE. Makes a lot more sense!

[@LaurenBateman]

Happy to help!

[@richardmorgan8959]

Lauren. Your discussion on relative major/minor scales. Not this video but within your Lead guitar skills 101 series, lesson Am pentatonic starting about 2:30 in…. So incredibly important. Trying to fit things together. Certainly opened my eyes how this stuff all fits together. Thanks for the excellent simple presentation. Highly recommended for those trying to understand “why study and learn scales”.

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh that's awesome. Those simple ah ha moments can go a long way. Glad it helped.

[@ranganathanrajagopal3036]

Very learner friendly and explained in a catchy way . Thank you Lauren

[@mmccartney6579]

Great lesson, yet again, Lauren!! A TON of info in just over 7 minutes!! Cheers!! :)

[@DG-mv6zw]

Great methodical and understandable explanation. I'm ashamed to say that after 40 years of plating guitar I've never even attempted scales or anything remotely resembling lead. This is a great way to start. Thanks Lauren.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome :D Glad it was helpful!

[@ZCAR355]

Never too late. I’m with you.

[@sweepdog]

Thanks, it’s great that you show a demonstration as well as showing us the scale, most just show the scale leaving a beginner like me ….well now what

I'm very slow memorizing scales. I got the E and the position you're teaching here. But I still don't know how to get licks out of them to insert in my blues...but I see better how it can be done, the way you teach is pretty clear. Thanks Lauren 🎶🎶🎶

HI, Lauren Thank you very much for this short and effektiv video. I already learned the scales before, but not so effektiv explained. I'm now waiting for your promised next video about lining up the scales. And - I would like to see a video, how to find out which improvisation is the right one for a song. Thank you. Greeting from Munich, Germany

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful! Hello Germany!

[@jerbear197]

Wooosssh! That was the sound of the going right over my head. Still have no idea what a pentatonic scale is or why we need to know about it..

[@LaurenBateman]

It's OK Jerry. It's kind of a bit of theory. Scales are notes that sound good together. Scales are used in playing solos. Sometimes you have to watch a video 2-3 times for the info to set in. Search Lauren Bateman what is a scale. I have a good video just on that subject alone.

[@lorinevins4246]

Great lesson!! Thanks Lauren. Looking forward to more.

[@geoffpoole483]

Thanks. I've been playing pentatonic scales and to be honest just playing them up and down may be good for initial learning but it becomes rather mundane and it's easy to go through the motions. Concentrating on just two or three strings at a time will add some variety and creativiy.
