Lauren, I love coming back to your videos. They're so encouraging and easy to follow. Thanks for your enthusiasm... it's infectious and makes me run to pick up my guitar. I've used your vids to learn quite a few songs in my repertoire. You're amazing!

[@pattyhhh1]

Thank you so much for sharing this song with me love the song

[@LaurenBateman]

Me too!

[@ChrisMoewesBystrom]

Thanks you so much. My jam group plays this as a closing song in open G but all the tab and other tutorials play it in A and the walk down was giving me trouble in transposing

[@LaurenBateman]

Ahh. Yeah the walk down is essential.

[@CPaiva99]

Hello Lauren and thank you for this classic song and great methodology! I was wondering how your Crafter sounds and if could let me know the model and strings that you are using ? Following 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

This is the Twin Birds bubinga wood model. I use D'Addario Phosphor Bronze 11s.

[@CPaiva99]

Thank you ! Your guitar sounds really good ! ❤

[@jeffbarnes8800]

Great lesson! You are teaching the song in a different key than most other lessons I've seen for this song. Is that to make it a little easier for beginners?

[@LaurenBateman]

This is the key I learned it in originally so I don't think it's different. But someone may have used a capo with different chords to make it easier.

[@2-0-2-8]

Thank you! I’ve always liked this song. You’re a great teacher and I could listen to you all day! Love your accent! Boston?

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes I'm from Boston!!!! Thank you. Glad it comes out still. I lost it going to school in Boston. Everyone made fun of me 🤣

[@craigenglish3235]

Can’t believe you never done the full song at the end

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, I had to stop because of copyright issues

[@purunair7335]

Your sessions are amazing. Eventually I found what I was lookin for in your guitar class. Could you please play Happy Birthday song

[@LaurenBateman]

I'll check it out! 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

[@jimgadd6693]

The song is in A, not G

[@LaurenBateman]

If you put a capo on the second fret, then yes you could play it in A. I'm doing it with these chords.

[@deanom6183]

Would you do Elvis" Polk Salad Annie or original is fine to.

[@dianasantiago7164]

😃👍 great

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you! Cheers!

The Way GBmC,D Intro:

[@LaurenBateman]

Cool!

[@ronfiveo]

Lauren Bateman, I'm just in the end process of rejuvenating my late brother's mid to late '60s Regal Jumbo Western guitar It's also the guitar I learned how to play on when I was about 14 or 15 yrs old. I've had to replace the bridge which had split and partially pulled off the sound board, plus fix a major crack and a few less major cracks on the back and some smaller cracks on the sound board. I haven't played in almost 20 yrs. I'm going to start playing again and my hands, especially my left hand seems to have gained a mind of it's own. So, I'm having to relearn again everything I forgot and learn that which I never knew. This is my progress up to date on a guitar forum: www.projectguitar.com/forums/topic/51922-saddle-distance/ I have never done anything like this and I have found that I like it a lot. Anyway you and your "easy lessons for beginners" have inspired me to try to learn again so I can hear my brother's guitar sing again. It's like a small tribute to him and memories that I have playing it. Thank you for your Ytube videos. If I could afford it I would get your instructions on your webpage, but alas that's not possible. Again, thank you for your lessons and step by step approach. You absolutely rock. (real rock :) ) Ron

[@LaurenBateman]

Awww this is so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm glad you are getting back into it. You will get back in the groove. I know it! So glad to help 😎🎶🎸

[@Billsingsong]

There’s only one intro to the song the weight that you’re teaching it’s very short but nice to hear it gives the song away

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dianasantiago7164]

G,D,C

[@LaurenBateman]

👍💗

[@Billsingsong]

Where is the iconic intro

[@LaurenBateman]

Which iconic intro is that? Some of these videos are older so they may not have my bump yet. 😎

[@dianasantiago7164]

1+2+3+4+ DDUDUD

[@LaurenBateman]

❤👍

[@learningallican7608]

It would be so much better if you were to also play through the song once. Much more impact than just hearing parts of it here and there

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@dianasantiago7164]

G F# Em D C-hold the C

Wrong key sister

[@LaurenBateman]

Hmm. Was how my guitar teacher taught me. All these. Who would have thought.

[@trepi8306]

And thanks for the new president Biden😙

[@LaurenBateman]

I didn't have anything to do with that. That was the American people. But thanks for the support.
