I've had a stroke & forgotten how to play many of the guitar chords I used to play as a professional musician. Her lessons have helped me begin to remember how to do my life's passion again. I'm almost confident enough to ask one of my dear friends to help me with more advanced lessons. I can't thank Lauren enough.

[kaneater]

It's only 8th day after purchasing a guitar, and I reached to this level of learning chords, it's all because of you only.. Thank you Lauren.

[donaldmoore]

Lauren, I've been trying to play the guitar since I was in the fifth grade. I'm 68 years old now and because of you, I'm finally learning more than Mary had a little lamb with one finger...Thank You!!

[theofungi]

3 years later, and you're still helping the beginners. No one does it better.
Thank you.

[OldCT]

OMG- I learned 4 chords today and I'm able to move between them in less then 20 minutes. Thank you soooo much. Lauren

I bought a guitar a 5 months ago, and i was still struggling with cords after all the practice, but after i saw ur videos i knew i was doing it wrong, thank you Lauren u are really an amazing teacher 💜

[davidhinz]

Wow! This is amazing. I have been struggling with full chord changes. You are right, these simplified chord changes are doable and definitely build up your confidence. I can do this! Keep them coming!

[charlesnazare]

Lauren, you have a special and unique way of breaking down the steps to learning guitar music and songs. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for music with all of us!

[robkilpat]

I must say that you are my first "Go to" for lessons, Lauren. Thank you for putting these lessons up for us. You are a considerate and talented guitar teacher.

Absolute newb to any instrument. Picked up an acoustic guitar to challenge myself and pass the time. Having never played any other instrument, I'm now stringing together 3 chords with the assistance of Lauren's tutorials. I love the pace she goes at and the repetition.

[Lemon_Lime]

I attempted to play around a year ago but I could figure out how to play basic chords, and recently I sand a song Infront of 200+ people in my school year (year 10) and got confidence to try to learn this guitar again :)) thanks for all the help!

[danielleharty]

I am a 34 year old married mom of 3 kids and have had my dad's quitar for years without knowing how to play. I found your videos and am now very confident that I can easily learn how to play guitar in 2022!! I also have ADHD and dyslexia and have found it hard in the past to learn instruments so thank you so much for your great lessons !

[xanderguyer]

I know there's a lot of repetition and simplification, but that's JUST what I need. I have small hands for an adult, and it's my first day playing guitar. This actually helped me figure out how to transition chords!

[janiedawes]

Lauren I moved to this one after your “First Lesson I will ever need” after making notes for string and fret practice which I continue to do with every sit down session. I love REPEATED INSTRUCTIONS! Much better than scrolling back. Thank you so much for taking time in your videos instead of rushing like you’re on a time limit!

[codygraham]

Fantastic lesson, thank you for taking your time to share, made all the difference to me.

@Lauren Bateman As a 46 yrar old beginner starting lessons in the new year, you've given the most satisfaction from a single watch than many other vids. Was already familiar with first 2 chords but the clip experience was the cherry on top. Be watching a few more times and other vids. Thank you.
