I have loved the music of Elvis because of the American greatness and I grew up playing records of Elvis! The kids of Elvis fans are now enjoying Elvis and the greatest people in the biz say the best compliment you’re ever going to get will be your music (lessons) being played for a new generation of people.
HeyI will spare you a 10 page novel, Long story short, youngest daughter wants me to play this song at her wedding next August. It is now mid November 2021. In the middle of the night thought of this. And thought I would check it out, it is a lot like I figured it would be. But it has a little more to it. Pretty much piece of cake so to speak. However concerned about singing the song as well as playing it. And good job learning it and the night before the video. That can be difficult I’m sure. Great job! Thank you for being a good teacher and a good person. You’re a good example in this world. Thank you so much stay well enjoy your loved ones. Jim
What a wonderful thing to do for your daughter. My recommendation would be to really get the picking pattern down. Then I would try standing up and walking around while trying to do the picking pattern. Once you can do that, you should be able to sing and play at the same time. Oftentimes many of my students can hum and play at the same time but not sing and play at the same time.
Do you even have to finger the strings on the Em chord in the verse? You’d be fingering the 5th and 4th string, however only playing the 6th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st string. Thanks and great lesson
Thank you Lauren! This beautiful song is always popular with the audience. Whenever I perform it with our band I ask people to join in and they really enjoy singing along. 😊
I just love how peppy you are and you just keep it simple. My playing advances exponentially every time I watch one of your videos. Thank Lauren Bateman!!!
Mostly teachers won't compromise on their musical skills. But U maintained in original scale struggled with ur voice, just for students to understand in its original scale. Ur compromise shows how concerned are U about ur students. Empathy is the best trait of an unparalleled teacher. And Im seeing it in abundance in U dear Lauren. Thank U so much.
It's great to see & hear that you can actually screw up too. LOL As an old Elvis song impersonator (45 years ago!) I'm curious about your run in regarding copyrights, cuz I'm going to play & sing this song too, as soon as I can learn it your way. I doubt anyone will try to "get blood out of a turnup," but one never knows these days. Cheers. Perfect time of the year for to share your awesome gifts with us. Thank you, Lauren.
Hi. Lauren. As always a great lesson. Now I can talk about it finished with Billy Gibbons on his new album. Love the guy. Known him for 40 years. I am now 76 and am retiring. Going to sell 157 guitars from the 1940s to the 80s . Lauren you are a joy for beginners. I am in Toronto Canada and worked with Bryan Adams, Guess Who and Rush. Also Robbie Robertson from The Band before he left Toronto. I will continue pushing you to my friends and fans to your site to get you to 100k min fans. Wished I had someone like you in 1954 sure would have made my learning curve easier. I hope people appreciate how talented you are. Good luck and great success.
She's pretty awesome I've been watching her for a while now and I've seen others who are trying to teach people how to play and i can tell you she's the easiest person to follow. Just thought I'd drop a comment about her..
I like that you don't edit out or redo your mistakes. It makes me feel better knowing that even someone as good as yourself also makes mistakes sometimes.
I love your teaching methods. I used to play guitar 45 years ago unfortunately I developed an illness that prevented me from playing. I forgot most of what I had learned, but I'm going to start again with your lessons. I hope I can get back into playing the guitar. I do love it so. Thank you for your channel. Samson.
This is really appreciated i was wondering how this song was played and how it's picked Lauren i really think you are one of the best teachers for playing the acustic guitar and i was wondering if you could show it sometimes in an electric guitar hook up to the amp i no you can make it talk to you thanks for everything for sure.. ( Paul )
Hey, I added a comment from a different channel not sure if it works or not. Long story short checked out your video and great job! Thank you so much. Youngest daughter wants this song played at her wedding next August. A little nervous about it, because May have to sing it as well. Thanks for being a real person a good teacher as well as a good person. The world is a better place with people like yourself keep it up. And thanks again. Jim
Such a great song!! Elvis was so much better singing ballads than the more rock n roll stuff. This looks a little complicated as I've not got into finger picking yet! Maybe this is a good one to start with. One thing why do you guys say K po (capo) it's cap o. To make the K sound it would need an "e" either after the "a" or the "o", after all you don't pronounce "cap" as "cape" do you 😉. Anyway Lauren another great lesson 👍 x
I played this song at my lesson with Brian May this past Friday. I impressed Brian. He asked me if I would play that song at a recital on June 15th.I said Yes. I will play it and Brian will sing.
I felt in love 🥰 with the guitars of course 💕 💓 💛 😍. Thanks for taking the time to explain in details. Me being French appreciate the fact that you take the time .
@@LaurenBateman thank you and my mistake here , I was refering to the 3rd string when barreing the F chord since you dont pluck the 5th and 4th sring when plucking the arpeggioSorry got my directions backward
Lovely Lauren .Lovely as you.Could you pl tell me , as I'm going to buy my ,second guitar,What Amp would you recommend for C×40 Semi Acoustic guitar by Yamaha? Would appreciate!Marshall ,Fender etc.
Its okay to make a mistake, don’t worry it’s cool because your not fake your real and your perfect timing is that main Ingredient of the song, the show must go on!
yes. And my husband cant believe now. That i know how to do fingerstyle.hihi he said maybe soon im much better than himyou"re guitar lessin is very helpful@@LaurenBateman
Really beautiful , thanks . Some parts of this sound a bit like "Everybody Hurts" by REM . a song that I've always liked. Do you have a lesson on "Everybody Hurts" ?
Hey good day, thought I was subscribed on both channels. However just made this one subscribe. It's all goofy. Anyways just to let you know, thank you for your thoughtful opinion and advice. Appreciate it very much. Will attempt to follow that. And I'm sure with that could succeed for the most part. I am an artist Blaksmith etc. etc., and own worst critic. So music has been that way as well. Sometimes we get less critical upon ourselves as we realize all the other imperfections with things around us. And each song or creative piece of something or other we do, is in it's own moment of creativity at that time and place. They are not mass produced and such. Anyways, sorry about the 10 page novel! Could almost have it published . Thanks again keep up the great work look forward to more of your good stuff. Stay well enjoy your loved ones and have a beautiful day. Jim
Sometimes you are so funny 😂 🤣 😂 you make me laugh in the way that you are so quick witted when you hit the wrong chord. All in all you play guitar Great!!!!!!!!! I just was watch this not trying to play it yet since I am an old new old beginner with your Amazing teaching!!!! Wooohooo!!!!!
Unfortunately, I don't understand everything because I'm not 100% fit in English. (I'm from Germany). But a nice and great girl makes it very, very beautiful. Very nice, keep it up.
sister i have some problem in my left hand pinky finger ( accidental ) , so i can not learn using that finger. will you help me by suggesting me that should i learn guitar or not? because i really want to but i dont know i am able or not! (i am righty )
Do you no where i could buy a decent acoustic guitar or electric one with an amp and cord reasonable it don't have to be no less Paul brand lol my dad played a Martin it was so sweet sound but again it don't have to be a Martin or Gibson just a nice one better than the one I've got my strings are so high off the deck it's hard to get a cool note out so i was just wondering if you knew where i could pickup one at a really good price????.
Why can't I find a single comment here without your reply, seriously I'm going through all your videos to find one comment, that one comment without your reply 😂, thanks for your valuable work and spreading positivity 💪

My pleasure!!
Lauren, when playing the F chord is it fair to just barre and hold down the 4th string? since you are not plucking the other 2?
If you are not plucking bottom two strings you don't need to Barre
@@LaurenBateman thank you and my mistake here , I was refering to the 3rd string when barreing the F chord since you dont pluck the 5th and 4th sring when plucking the arpeggioSorry got my directions backward
Omgosh you are such an Awesome Guitar Teacher and you play guitar and sing beautifully!!!
Thank you! 😃
Love this song finger picking! I am learning plucking. Tnx

@@LaurenBateman Thank you for making such a clear and easy to learn video.
Is there any reason to chord the em being you never play the 2strings that are fretted? Do you strum the chord at some point ?
I always like to play a chord even if I'm not playing the fretted fingers.

Rest and watch them again later 😃
thanks i now know two versions of this song that I can play

Lady ,the very first thing you should have done is to present of what your interpretation would SOUND like. Otherwise people go to other lessons. And do not sing -for your strike false note (ex. 6:20 - and in other places).
Andrew, the best thing you should have done is said, thank you. Very rude of you. There are many other teachers on TH-cam who I think will fit your requirements.
