Just the right song for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Nice Weekend!! Thanks Lauren!!

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for watching!

[@aurokrishnaa617]

Didn't skip a second there 😮
I think I've found you, my master ❤️😮

[@LaurenBateman]

Awww thank you very much.

[@jeramiedutcher6720]

That triple explanation. I think the lesson was lost on me 20 years ago and I do 16 instead of 12 for a song I like. It never felt right, like I was taking too long. Now I know why.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@timomarra3315]

Really good lesson, Lauren!

[@LaurenBateman]

Saturday morning lessons with Lauren singing are my favorite. And such a great song too. Thanks as always.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thank you for watching!

[@johnkelly2382]

Thanks Lauren, this is one of my favourite songs and is from my era too (71 year old). A great lesson I will be learning.

[@LaurenBateman]

You're very welcome! I know you can do it :D

[@ryanmcdonald2027]

Hey Lauren I know another great fun but also simple little 1960's pop song that everyone could have a crack at playing which only has 4 chords in it, the song is called "I Love You" By Cliff Richard And The Shadows which only has 4 chords in it, A major, D major, E major and B Dominant 7 (or B major as i like to play cause it's easier) and is in the original key of A major like the original record and can be played on the guitar without a capo :) it is also perfect for the ukulele if you transpose the music and play chords from the key of G major and play chords G major, C major, D major and A7 (A dominant 7) chords and then slap a capo on the second fret of your ukulele you will be able to strum and play along to the original hit record from the radio ! :)

[@LaurenBateman]

Ryan thanks for the suggestion. I love those good 3 and 4 chord pop tunes.

[@timothymoran2010]

I find b barre cord to be the hardest chord to play with no capo so I always play a b7 barre chord instead. Basically same thing but easier

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Lauren, I see that you play a Crafter guitar. How well do you like it and any suggestions for a 57 year old male?

[@LaurenBateman]

Love my Crafter!!! Best advice is to be consistent and take your time. Don’t be in a rush and go slow. Start simple. You can always make things harder.

Hi Lauren, what happened to the B 7 cord for the word together hardest cord I ever learned.🐺

[@LaurenBateman]

The B7 chord is there. Unless my editor forgot and left it out and I didn't catch it.

[@aurokrishnaa617]

i tried to play this and it turned out to sound beautiful! thank you.
But I don't know how to play the last part " So happy together........so how is the weather.....so happy together.....so how is the weather...." what chords should I play there? Can someone help me with this?

[@LaurenBateman]

It’s B and E back and forth

[@aurokrishnaa617]

@@LaurenBateman thank you very much sensei! 🥹

[@Bigman-zo2lv]

I’ve seen many Times the fingertip needs to touch the string above To mute it ! Then seen it not done many times ! Confusing !!! How do I know When to use my finger tip and when not to !? Thanks primarily solos and riffs

[@LaurenBateman]

Depends on the chord you are playing. It’s less critical on electric than acoustic, but very important when playing power chords.

[@Bigman-zo2lv]
