Night Moves Guitar Lesson with Percussive Strumming!

Hey everyone! Lauren Batman here, and today we're diving into an incredible song, Bob Seger's "Night Moves." In this lesson, I'll break down some fun strumming patterns, including a special "hopping" rhythm that adds an awesome vibe to your playing. We’ll cover all the chords you need—like G, F major 7, C, and even that tricky B minor. I’ll also show you how to add syncopation and a cool percussive "karate chop" to really bring the song to life. If you’re looking to level up your guitar skills step by step, this lesson is for you. Grab your guitar, and let’s get started!

About 15 months ago I bought a nice guitar and Lauren's course. Put a minimum of 10 minutes a day in. Tonight I played in front of a small crowd with a friend. Four songs and wasn't nervous a bit. Stick with it, guys. It's a true joy.

Great lesson, Lauren. I've found this one of the more difficult songs to get the syncopation correct; it really makes a difference. Thanks.

[iamRobinV]

This song is perfect for practicing chord changes. Thanks Lauren! 😊😊😊

[stevehiggins]

This lesson is so good. It uncomplicates a very complex song. Thank you Lauren, this is amazing

[jeffeldredge]

One of the very first songs I ever learned. I have loved this since he wrote it. Bob is the man.

[SegerSyanide]

Bob is my cousin, and I look forward to learning his music! Thank you for this lesson!

[LMacNeill]

I'm finally -- FINALLY -- getting to the point where I can actually see myself playing something like this. Your easy lesson makes it seem plausible, at least.

[EvanCarmichael]

This breakdown of “Night Moves” makes those complex strumming patterns so much easier to tackle. Thank you for sharing, Lauren! - Lipika - Team Evan Carmichael

Your videos are the best! Your instruction nails it where so many fall short. Your visuals of the strumming patterns helps so much and the way you lead into the chord changes makes so much sense. I’m subscribed to your channel now and I’d even take zoom lessons from you if you offered them!

[stevetorrez]

Great video, Lauren! It sounds just like the song. Love your guitar! 🎸
