i JI just told my new friend about how you believe in having fun doing it first then challenging yourselff to get better. It's my favorite way to learn and write music now
Its quite extrodinary, 10 mounths ago, I bought my first guitar, never played guitar or any other instrument before in my 60 good years of life. Spent a mounth or two struggeling, but determent to learn how to handle the guitar, then i stumble on L YT clips, and that was the door opner for me. Somehow the way L does her teaching have made me in to some , whom now can jam, i and thats something i love. Just let the chords flow and find a rythm to them. Fingerpick and or strum. I can do this song now, yes ofc i miss both in tempo, chords and strings, but i can i do it. Lauren you are fantastic,
I've been watching your videos for 2 weeks now. And have progressed a lot. I just realized you reply/check almost all comments and I think that is so awesome. Great channel ❤
I appreciate so much your easy laidback attitude! It may not be exactly how the original was played but every one sings along and it takes the stress away. If it sounds good it’s right enough lol
Hi Lauren always love watching your tutoring videos being a amateur acoustic guitar player you seem to be able to explain how to play each song in a complete and precise manner. Only one thing I would like is could you play the complete song through at the start of the tutorial I feel this can help as I may not be familiar with the songs name, many thanx 👍Gerry
I start and stop and start and stop with beginning learning guitar ....but You always start me going again when I see your videos ....Thankyou Lauren and Godbless....keep it going, youre helping so many people ....your genuine teaching methods nail it ....honestly ! ....if I can add a suggestion please play all the song at the end of a song :) so we play along with you ....Thanks again !
The 1st song I learned to play on guitar! (Way back in 81) Very nice! The way I transitioned from E-minor to B-Minor was to use my two little fingers (pinkie and ring) for the E-Minor and just slide back and down while adding my middle finger and barring. Great lesson! Subscribing.
Hi Lauren, I’m registered blind, I’m 59 and learned guitar at school. When I say learned I was taught a few chords and picked up the rest over tge years. I have messed about with the guitar all my life. Only playing on my own. I really like the way you explain the chord progressions, it really makes sense in an unpatronising way. Thank you, I think I’m ok on guitar but when it comes to learning new things on guitar I need things explained in a non visual way. Not sure if you have been taught how to teach blind students but you are a natural. Thank you very much indeed. Andrew
Love your simple and clear method of teaching guitar. Would love to see a lesson on Harry Belafonte's evergreen 'Jamaican Farewell' with calypso strum style plus the catchy licks.
It is better to be able to walk properly before to be able to fly like an eagle, this tutorial is just fine for any beginners. Can't be too meticulous, otherwise will take the fun out of playing guitar.
could you tell me more about the guitar your playing..? I just brought a524ceV ...and I have a 562 12 string..Taylor makes great guitars....you need that GM7...lol Its 1 of those 1st tunes I learned in the late 80s...thanks for the lesson
Thank you, Ryan for the recommendation. 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
The actual chords: Intro: G (always with open B string) - GM7 - C - Am - D - G. Verses: G - GM7 - C - Am - D G - GM7 - C - Am - C - G After verse preceeding chorus, end with (C-G) then straight into intro. Chorus: G (G/C) - G (G/C) G - Em - Bm - Am - D7 G - G7 - C - A7 - Am - D - G Repeat intro then next verses.
Hey girl So check it out. This is like my all time favorite song. The record way to play the G chord is using the middle ring and pinky. It does sound so much better but I learned my G chord using my Index finger and I just can’t break that habit mostly because my pinky finger is so bad and useless after 5 years still thus why I struggle with barre chords. My pinky never goes where it needs. Any advice on my pinky or playing that Gmaj7 chord? Thank you for being so awesome. Ryan 😊
I do my G the same. But, don't ignore the pinky. The more you use it the better it gets. I have a great pinky exercise coming out in the near future. Be on the lookout for that.
Is a nice job but you missed one very important chord I call it the money cord to the song. You're coming off of the G on the main riff hit a Gmaj7. Easy chord with just a finger shift and try to mute the A string Try it sometime. Listen to how it almost sounds like the album as you go from that cheated at Gmaj7
@@LaurenBateman you never know what kind of mood Don Henley's going to be in LOL. I just didn't know if you knew it was a G major 7 or not though I was just curious. Cuz just to me that is what gives it that lying eyes sound right there is when you hit that one especially. Keep with the great lessons. Good positive comments at a lot of stuff that's a good sign.
I watch another guitar channel and he's currently in some copyright trouble for doing an Eagles song tutorial. Thought it worth mentioning as a warning.
He probably got a copyright strike. That's pretty common on RU-vid. I did get flagged for copyright on this song. Could be upgraded. Who knows. Though being a teacher on RU-vid.
@@LaurenBateman I think it's unbelievably petty of these mega stars and mega rich stars to hunt down You Tube channels. In some way, shape or form, it's a fan base involved on this side, so they're basically shitting on fans.
Hi Dusty, I have some great tracking worksheets in my guitar course. Tracking your work is so important. It's a very overlooked part of the process. Check it out: www.laurenbatemanguitar.com/courseyt
Lauren Bateman, I know you are saying this is for Beginners, But of course, the listener, does not hear this version. I think, that you would be wiser to show your viewers, the other finger movements to get somewhat nearer the sound (Only Saying mate)
