I really like the way Lauren teaches guitar basics as well as the more advanced. It is slow and easy to catch on. Great place to learn.

[scottlytton]

oh my lordy! i finally get the turnaround thing!!!! it makes it so you dont have to stop and start something else. Sorta just leads ya there so you can continue making music!! Boy am I jazzed now. Thank you so much Lauren, I often thin youre born to play guitar but more often I think youre born to teach it.

[johnputt]

Terrific lesson. I just started playing after a long hiatus, This is my biggest YouTube video attempt yet. I won't quit till I play it and the turnaround reasonably well. Thank you...I hope I won't wear YouTube out by repeatedly replaying this great tutorial.

[VinylNostalgia]

You're an amazing teacher Lauren. Easy to understand for a 71 year old beginner. Thanks...

[SimpilotA]

[SimpilotA]

[sergejustejustr]

I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New year.

Good morning Lauren. I’m watching your lesson at the same time that I’m making my coffee and getting a quick bite before going out to my volunteer work. What I love about your lessons is that even if I feel they are a bit beyond me, you communicate the constant drumbeat of, “You can do this!” So even if I’m not fully following all of the details, before your lesson is halfway through you have given me the feeling that if I just pay attention, sit down and focus…Yes! I can do this! Thank you so much for your delightful and encouraging lessons. Have a great day. You’ve certainly started mine off in the right direction.

[albertmontes]

This was great a lot of info on patterns on 12 bar. Excellent lesson Thank you 👍

[dalekrasnow]

excellent, I never dreamed I could do this, but totally get it after watching your instructions !! thank you.

[charlesfellows]

Just happened across your video this is probably one of the clearest explanations of the 12 bar blues videos I've seen great job!

[DanSIlvernail]

I learned to do this with single picking per note but this one is a really good alternate picking exercise!

[abbeyzondo]

What a great lesson. Now I'm enjoying learning how to play my guitar.Thank you!!

[tombeckett]

Mind blown...! you just opened up the whole damn fretboard pretty much... OMG. Once I memorise that pattern and I already know the notes on the top 2 strings. This gonna be my new party trick. Thank you so much. Very cool simple lesson.

[DoodleBugLisa]

Great video, so well taught! Why am I fooling around with all these male teachers, when there’s is fantastic woman teaching us how to play? Truth is, I did want to sign up with you, but I’ll have to save for it during these difficult times.

[ryanmcdonald]

oh i see now ! yes ! i can see the pattern ! as long as the very first note of each riff actually starts on either an A note, a D note or an E note then that is all that matters isn't it ? a ha yes i get it now ! lol cool :) thanks heaps lauren ! lol :) This is PERFECT for my lead guitar riff and lead guitar turnaround that i want to practice so that i can play the 60's song called "Rock And Roll Music" by the Beatles lol :) I will then learn an A major scale and an A Minor scale and learn A major, D major and E major Arpegios so that i can make up my own lead guitar solo for this song lol :)

[hanapen]

Super nice.. thanks for the clear explanation

[seanhoude]

A good friend of mine loves Chicago Blues. He just tells me 1-4-5, the key, and whether there's a turnaround. Then I can play along without knowing anything else about the song. Can jam for hours doing just that. It's amazing how many songs can be played using the same shape!

[davidmartin]

Great lesson and explanation! I get the turn around, wish you had also shown how to easily walk out (end) the progression so it sounded complete rather than just a fingering lesson.
