Saturday morning with the wisdom of Lauren! Perfect start to the weekend! ☕️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Thanks for the strumming reminder. You are always on the ball for us old arthritis ridden folks. Thanks so much for your help. Great teaching.

do not apologize for your accent, it is charming

Thank you for this. I will be using this in my daily routine.

Hi am very enjoying your lessons thank you teacher

You're the best teacher at RU-vid. Thanks!

It's so important to teach the progression of the pattern! Thank you

Great lesson once again Lauren.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I just started learning to Play Sugar Sugar By The Archies The strumming pattern is tricky ! There is a cool little riff too ! (the riff is optional ) And the chord progression is tricky too !There are 2 patterns one a little simpler than the other ! The more difficult pattern sounds much better , but according to videos I viewed all the teachers said it took them time to master the technique ! Have you ever attempted to play the song ?

As always, great.

Thank you so much...this is so helpfull ❤❤👋😊💋

This will be a game changer for getting good at Stand by me thanks

Your clear instructions make learning strumming feel like a breeze. Keep up the great work, inspiring beginners to pick up their guitars and play with confidence! -Macy (Team Evan)

It's a moody morning featuring the EM chord. Thanks for the lesson, Lauren. My strumming and timing are less than stellar. I thought I was great. Then I listened to a recording of myself lol.

Thank you Lauren❤

Excellent, thank you

Wow... this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

You really cover the basics and fundamentals well, and I absorb all this as if I were brand new. I've been playing a long, long time (and occasionally sound pretty decent), but admit to some bad habits. I'm very happy to have found your channel! ❤😊

Thanks, I needed this. I still panic a little on the upstrums.

As a 65 yr old beginner i loved this lesson couldn't keep up with the chord changes but loved it anyway. definitely something to aspire too as a short term goal . my aim would be to accomplish this in 3 months time. Making the chords is not the problem its the changes in time to the beats have added this lesson to my daily practice schedule hope you don't mind ,and i am not breaking any copyright laws.

"On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings..." 🙂 Om the 100 bpm exercise, I kept expecting the Em to turn into whatever that 2nd chord in _Horse With No Name_ is... D-something over 9 or whatever it is -- I know you've done a lesson on it..

Each beginner must to watch this video man!

I need to relax just like you said, using the .50 Dunlop pick. Adding this workout to my practice routine starting today.

Thanks for another great reminder, and lesson especially on using the metronome.

A brilliant video which will now be part of my warm up. Thank you. Paul Lucas.

thanks Lauren useful reminder daily practice will = improvement

Excellent lesson! Thank you!

You're a rock star figuratively and literally! I do find the exercise difficult in being consistent about it, but have been practicing on it and improving. I find it easier to do 3/4 time though, for some reason.

Thankyou very much ❤️ this is what I am looking for.

Thanks I really like this I really need help in this area also like the way you present and teach the lesson Awesome Rock On🎯🎸

perfect teaching

As always an excellent tute. I leant the two strumming patterns I know using the metronome as you described, varying the tempo. However this exercise is excellent because it covers multiple patterns. So I'll definitely be adding it to my daily routine after the finger stretches. Thanks Lauren

Great strumming lesson! Thanks

Love,this lesson,like,👍 👌 💛

Thank you, your lessons are always helpful.

My sturmming problem perfectly solve thank you very much.

She ain't my woman, but can't imagine my life without her teachings. Holy hsit she just made my life so much easier. Thank you soooo much❤

Great video

Hi Lauren, I just bought into the strumming and faster better chords courses. They do look good. I had lessons a few years ago but never got enuff dexterity and speed but I did learn where a lot of chords are and have a bunch of songs all tabbed out to work on so definitely not a waste. What drew me in aside from your teaching style is who could possibly not be interested in lessons from a teacher with a g5420t hangin on the wall. First guitar I ever bought was an electromatic 5420. You ever play it? Looks like it has dynas the pickups I'd like. As far as music I mainly like its country country rock an bluegrass. You do any molly tuttle like crooked tree or the super fast olympia washington. Well ill get started in the morning....

You are a wonderful teacher and I am learning a LOT watching your videos. I am a older, older learner. Wish I would have started years ago but that's water under the bridge. As a older learner the metronome is difficult to hear when strumming and watching video. Drum machine works a lot better for me, plus it feels more real if you know what I mean. Its just a suggestion from me too you. Either way works, right?!

That final 4 chord exercise would make a superb TikTok loop, I would probably play it 100 times in a row....

Great lesson thanks

Very nice Explain

🙃 great lesson

Stumming pattern practice 👍 like😊❤

Master Stumming,like,like

Great workòut ì have almosr got level 2 BUT is there another video where Lauren explains how to upstrum? Sounds easy but to a complete beginner like me i am sure it is more than keeping your wrist relaxed..

I don’t request many songs-Will you please do “With or Without You” by U2? I have been practicing your humming while I play songs now-I can feel this is going to help because I’m less focused on strumming. I’m determined to sing while playing. It’s frustrating know songs over 6 years-and can’t sing one.

I had to laugh when you said "That sounds great!" Haha! Not here, it didn't, but I am a real beginner. This was a great lesson. I'll be setting my metronome to a slower speed to go through that chord progression exercise again. 😆

Thanks Lauren great information. My one question as a newbie. Is it necessary to use a pick or can I use my thumb. Again thanks

I really enjoy your teaching method and videos. I have tried to strum a pattern to imitate a Harley motorcycle rhythm (lubbaity, lubbity, lubbity). Do you have any patterns or suggestions how to approach it? Thanks, Charlie Joe Weir

I'll start using this as my practice routine. My question is moving my 3rd finger 1st going from G/D works well but I'm faster moving my 1st 2 fingers 1st from D/G works. It's the same D/C / C/D. Is this ok or is it best to learn 2b consistent by moving 3rd finger always 1st? Just want to learn the right way the 1st time. Enjoying your 7 level system. Thanks.

Thanks again for this tutorial....but I have a question... I allready play some piano, and started about 3 months ago with guitar....but I really dislike using a pick....is it possible to play almost all sings without a pick....or is a pick absolutely necessary?

I am confused and can't catch an answer. When you do strumming do you start over with every chord change even if you can't get the full measure? I don't recall any video that explains that. Or I am just missing it in a video of yours. 🤔

❤

Excellent. But how hard I try my rhythm goes wrong when I try to play with any one signing. Plz suggest how to solve it.

My fret hand doesn't want to cooperate..do those things to spread the fingers with help?❤

.. thanks.. thanks.. thanks.. 🙏🙏🙏 i have a question for you, I would appreciate it if you could help me.. 🤔 - I can't quite tune the 'G' string on both my steel string guitar and nylon string guitar, I can't get the tone I want, do you think that's normal ?.. 😕😟 (I have a lot of problems, especially with nylon wire.. 😮‍💨) (actually, I'm tuning my guitar exactly, but the tone coming out of the 'G' string is not pleasant to my ear, I don't like it..) . is the problem on the wires ?., , on the guitar ?., or do I have it ?.. .. .

Im still working on 8th rythem notes. But getting better

Hi Lauren, I’m trying to take advantage of you Memorial Sale 52 percent off, but unfortunately my payment will not go though l have the funds but not having it, please advise, I’m in the UK, is there another way l can pay, like a payment line of something like that. It maybe because I’m Uk and I’m sending to the states.
