I have learned more with 4 videos on here in the last 2 weeks than the whole time I had my first guitar 20 years ago, which I had for a few years till I just gave up and sold it. now I am on my new guitar at the age of 45 and getting so much from your videos, that keeps me going now, even a bit of confidence that I can do this which I have never really had before.

[@LaurenBateman]

Oh that’s so awesome. So happy to help.

[@kellypreston9366]

My substitute instructor was going over music theory with me at last weeks lesson and although I understood what he was saying it was over my head. So in trying to put it into practice it made no sense...this video just cleared it up for me...Thank you!

[@IdealX-fr4eg]

I've played music for over two decades and you are an excellent teacher well done!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Wow, thank you!

[@RickMartinYouTube]

Thanks for taking the time to explain theory.

[@LaurenBateman]

Any time!

Always... Lauren.... we enjoy your lessons i watch than listen again.. then again . ....thanks 😊

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww glad to hear Tim.

Got it! Excellent! Gary “Biscuit” Davis played the banjo in Dolly Parton’s band. He showed me this last year when I met him in pigeon Forge, TN. I kind of understood him. And he is an excellent banjo player. But you did an outstanding job and now I really understand it! Thanks!

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome :D

[@antonfonseka6399]

Great lesson , I’m a beginner and this helps. Good on you!

[@psliv77]

could you explain how to use this on multiple strings?

[@LaurenBateman]

Great question. You would apply the same idea. So for C major, C D E F G A B. Start on the first string third fret and play 3 notes per strings and you will have to move down the strings to accomodate.

[@lisaguerrero1671]

Great Lesson!! Thanks!!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Lisa, My pleasure!

[@stoopotts6908]

Very clear and concise instruction as always!

[@LaurenBateman]

Rock on. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tonysalinas6424]

Hi Lauren, you are a great teacher, easy to understand all your teaching. Thank you so much.

[@LaurenBateman]

You are so welcome!

[@bronsonguidry1744]

So, correct me if I'm wrong, the definition of a "major scale" would be: the progression of musical notes following the precise pattern of steps within the formula, w-w-h-w-w-w-h. (?) As I would assume the definition of a "minor scale" would be: the progression of musical notes following the precise pattern of steps within the formula, (insert formula here), and perhaps the same definition applies to all other scales, with each it's own formula?

[@LaurenBateman]

That's correct! Music comes down to a number of formulas!

[@M.Esfahani]

Great explanation and easy to understand! Thanks! 🙏🌹❤

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks so much for this. I intuitively “get” the piano, but I want to play guitar! This is the first time I’ve understood how piano translates to guitar. I’m just staring your other videos. You’re a great teacher.

One again a brilliant guitar lesson. I learned something new. Also, in Catholic School I (and the rest of the class) had to sing Doe, a deer, a female deer to an audience. Brings back a memory I have tried to forget. I really enjoy your lessons. :)

[@LaurenBateman]

That is awesome!

[@debramarshall7264]

Love your channel and the way you explain things so simple to understand ☺️

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you so much!

[@aleidasuarez]

curious about some of the ways to really learn major scales in relation to order of flats/sharps?

[@LaurenBateman]

It's a formula. Take what I should you hear and change the starting note.

[@AaronPlowman-qn1px]

Another great and productive lesson. Your the best 🎸😎

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you!

[@geoffgathercole5828]

Brilliant Lauren. Do you have an exercise for beginners re up down picking? Geoff

[@LaurenBateman]

You are so welcome.

[@indiamalwa]

Make video on natural minor scale, harmonic minor scale also

[@LaurenBateman]

Yep.

[@subhamsaha9748]

You should mention that there is no sharp of B and E. Thank you.. And sorry if I am wrong

[@LaurenBateman]

Thatb is correct

[@jessemurray1852]

Still Awesome!

[@LaurenBateman]

Jesse thank you :)

[@dianamariasantiago4573]

👍LIKE

[@markgrace145]

This is a great help to increase my fret board knowledge.. Thanks Lauren. Cheers

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidramirez4810]

How do you determine the first note in the first fret? Top and bottom strings are F and the second string is C, why?

[@LaurenBateman]

Each string when open is tuned to a specific notes. The second string is tuned to B and a half step up from B is C. Same with the bottom e string. String is tuned to E half step up (one fret) is F.

[@davidramirez4810]

Ahhh.....thank you, I get it!

[@thesportsjunkie4827]

I’m confused. How do I know where is the C, D, E etc on the fretboard. I’m a beginner so someone please help!

[@LaurenBateman]

Use the examples I give in this video and try to find the notes on each string. There are multiple C all over the guitar. Each string has one.

[@nancydevlin65]

Getting it...... works if you can imagine a keyboard, no black 'half' notes between the B and C and the E and F....... never mind.... I'm getting it, anyway! :-D

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes, piano is way easier to visualize for sure.

[@dianasantiago7164]

🎸What a Mayer Scale🎸

[@LaurenBateman]

👍

[@liamkelly1724]

That means we have 8 notes in the f scale, Liam kilkee clare ireland. 🚙 😎?

[@LaurenBateman]

8 notes if you include to octave note :)

[@liamkelly1724]

Muchas gracias Lauren, excellent teacher you're simply the best. Liam kilkee clare ireland.🎵😁🍀

[@zayneunderwood1488]

Major Scale📌🎶☑️ Thanks Teach... 🍎

[@LaurenBateman]

You bet Zayne

[@Mofjos]

Finally this makes sense to my old brain. Thank you. W wh w w wh

[@LaurenBateman]

Hey Joseph, that's fantastic. I'm glad that you found this super helpful.

[@61cheezil]

Wow, I'm still not getting the whole scale concept. How do I find the other 10 major scales (you only told us what the C & F are (so I don't get why a C scale is played on a B string & a F scale is played on the E string, how do I figure the rest out & what string are they played on? Why was I born so dum when it comes to music!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Merrilyn, sounds like you need my music theory 101 course. The C scale is not ONLY played on B string. I'm only using this as an example. Some with the F scale. I am only play it on the e string to show a little example. The guitar is both vertical and horizontal.

[@61cheezil]

@@LaurenBateman thanks so much. Not sure I want to go too far with learning all the theory but would def love to just be able to play a basic song or 2 (purely for my own entertainment, not for audiences lol)! But will give this some consideration if I'm lucky enough to keep employed & able to afford some more lessons, thankyou. :)

[@stevemercure902]

Doe a deer, a female deer. Re, a drop of golden sun. Mi a name I call myself. Far a long long way to run. Sew, a needle pulling thread. La a note to follow Sew. Tea a drink with jam and bread.....

Ha ha ha. That's the one Steve.

Major Scale!! 😃

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LaurenBateman]

:)

[@61cheezil]

Can"t really see where your fingers are (F sharp is one I'm not familiar with)

[@LaurenBateman]

Follow the diagram on the screen. It's points out the F# very clearly for you. It's the first fret on the bottom string.

[@61cheezil]

@@LaurenBateman thanks, think I figured it tho still struggled with the diagram, I bet no one else is as difficult to make understand basic stuff, so sorry (wish it were easier for me like it seems to be to everyone else)..I'm not ready to quit tho jus the same!

[@robertq8412]

A light bulb on moment !!
