Very good fingers movement. Thank Lauren, I am really love this lesson

[billhorton]

Lauren I have watched every major guitar teacher on YouTube. I have learned something from every one. Your teaching style/method is by far the best for an older beginner. I'm 3 weeks in and have learned my chords, am playing a few songs, and have my fingers tough enough to practice a couple of hours a day. You rock!

You have a very unique style of teaching and I can see how you are setting people up with learning good habits in the way they first learn these basic open chords. It's so much easier to expand on the basics once they are learned correctly as opposed to correct someone that has learned incorrectly. I run across so many students that have learned something although technically correct most of the time it doesn't allow anyone to expand easily. An example would be I start off teaching to form an E maj & G maj using the middle ring pinky which leaves the index free. When that way is solid the I show that they ' could' do them using the index middle & ring fingers if they so desired. Now that my student knows BOTH forms I eventually move on to principals of barr chords it feels more natural because they are are used to doing the form of the chord with those three fingers already, all they need to do is slide the E maj up the neck and Barr it off with the index. It's like they learned two for the practice of one ! I've had students that have come up to me thanking me for approaching it that way. But then again I approach throwing difficult "stuff" at them just a little past what I feel they can handle then when I dial it back just a bit it's perceived to be much easier from a psychological point of view. I REALLY appreciate your unique style and I'm taking notes on how to break things down into their simplest step by step forms. Well geezwhat I'm also trying to say I really admire your teaching methods Lauren. Please Xcuse the rambling today, I'm basically a highly caffienated teenager that has a crush on his teacher * blushes 😍🎶🎶🎶 - Michael your #I fan
