Sounds silly but I wanted to play this song so much even though I'm just a beginner who started three weeks ago. You made so easy to understand that after two days I can almost play the entire thing. There is no way of me describing how grateful I am. Thank you so so much!!! ❤
Ive been trying to get this song right for I dont know how many years...always playing 'simpified (open) chords' that never sounded right. Always intimidated by these chords. Never realised it needed a capo! Youve helped me see the light and I am no longer afraid of these chords. I can play it and Im loving it !!!!thanks sooooo much !!
I’ve been playing the guitar for 6 weeks now and this is by far best teaching of the Wonderwall strumming pattern. Thanks very much , you’re a brilliant at what you do.
I love your videos. I picked my guitar back up just a few weeks ago, and already I can see improvement. Your teaching style is wonderful and easy to follow. :)
I am 52 years old from the UK I have been trying to learn acoustic guitar from online videos (Some better some much worse) I love THIS wonderwall video it takes it pretty slowly and builds up and presenter has great attitude I had almost given up on this song but thanks to this video I'm inspired again and slowly getting back om track Thanks so much your efforts are much appreciated
I used to play VERY BASIC stuff and only about 2 songs total when I was about 12 ish years old. I am now 27 , and I'm teaching myself how to play all over again , and it's been a while and it's been stressful , But I've watched a lot of videos trying to teach me how to play , and YOURS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT STUCK OUT ! I've been sticking with it and you have helped me come so far ! Especially with learning this beautiful song . My husband also really loves that I have a new aspiration in progress !! So Thank you so much ! 🫵🏼👌🏼🤘🏼
Hey Lauren, your way of teaching is simply impeccable. I've been trying to get the rhythm right for the past few days. Today, I looked at this tutorial and in just a few moments I was able to hit it correctly. The breakdown coupled with the tips on adding an extra up/down strum really did the trick. Thank you for the efforts you put in and making us look cool.
Thank you for teaching this. I've been working on it for a while and this lesson has helped pull it together for me. Thanks too for not dumbing it down - it's tricky but so satisfying when it sounds right.
You have a real gift for simplification, Lauren - I watched a ton of Wonderwall lessons from other great teachers (hello Justin/Marty/Andy! etc) and nailed the chords easily, as you say - but it was only when I caught your vid that the penny suddenly dropped about this song suddenly becoming a LOT easier when you realise that many of the chord changes in that iconic intro actually happen on the UP-strums, not something that comes instinctively to a lot of beginner guitarists...🤦♂🎸
I have watched every wonderwall video trying to get the strumming pattern. Yours was the only one that went through it slow enough. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Lauren, i would like to thank you for your enthusiasm what you are putting into your work . I started to play on a guitar for a very first time in my life 2 months ago (im 34 years old ) and i accidentally bumps into this video and i was like okey i have to learn thís song no matter of cost . (i was thinking that it is not a good idea to start learning this as a beginner ) nevertheless after 14 days of practicing 2 hours a day -no excuses : i,m able to play almost whole thing . And it is so rewarding . Thank you very much and have a great day Kind Regards from Czech Republic
What I immediately liked about this tutorial is that you call it an 'intermediate' song, as opposed to 'easy' or 'beginner' song which is what practically every other tutor on TH-cam refers to it as ... so I feel less bad that I struggle with the strumming rhythm a lot! Mind you it is basically day one for me (more or less).
Honestly your channel deserves more subscribers...great lesson...love how you repeat many times the concept...also great energy while you are singing...instantly subscribed and liked ! ty from Italy
Hi, as beginner basically was determined learn this song but obviously strumming patterns I found very tough, checked around TH-cam and with way you explain I finally got it, awesome teaching 🎶👌👌🤘🤘
Wow Lauren, just stumbled on your channel, loving it. Ive been practicing this strum for over an hour, now I have a nosebleed and I’ve forgotten my own name!!
Been trying to get this rhythm for ages and tried a few UTube guitarists. You are definitely the best and I am now strumming to the tunes. (Albeit slowly) Thanks :)
So I'm just starting n liked ur 1st video I saw on how to play gutair Sunday night but turned out I gotta tune the gutair. Saw u did wonderwall while looking how to tune with a tuner. My anniversary is September 25th plan to know that song by then. I'm 52 n have been doin the rv life for 3 yrs with my husband. Working in the mountains of Montana this summer n planning to stay. Always by a fire n I want to learn gutair
Brilliant tutorial thanks Lauren. It’s sounding better every time I improve the strum from watching this once or twice…😃 You are great fun to learn with. Your playing expressions are fantastic and you can sing.
Thank you so much for your great videos Lauren, would it be possible to request a video on that provides a beginners guide on how to play and sing at the same time?
@@LaurenBateman So important as you stressed that you do the strumming seperate and to get to the level where it comes naturally, then and only then get the chords matched in. Thank you 🥰
I'm breaking this tune down bit by bit. I've saved this video so that I can do just that. I want to learn this one, I'm going to make it happen... The first time I practiced through the strumming I said the same thing... "Holy Crap"!💩 I'm seeing strumming patterns in my head...🎵🎶 Thanks Teach...🍎
As a beginner I love your breakdown of this classic 👍 I’m probably jumping the gun here a bit but I’m gonna take it on bit by bit and nail it even if it’s the last thing I do I don’t care how long it takes 🤣
This is too difficult for me at the moment. But maybe, one day 🎵, I will be able to learn it. This is the easiest lesson I have found to follow. Thanks for sharing 😃
I’m so happy you’ve confirmed it’s not just me that can’t do both concurrently. I can sing some notes and play some chords but it goes very wrong when I try both. I feel like a child learning to balance. So I’m Gona stop trying until I can play them without trying.
Between Lauren, Justin and Andy, I am making pretty good progress on this classic tune. Thanks guys! X Lauren really helped me with the chord change timing. Justin helps with nailing the strumming pattern and Andy is just great to listen to because I love his northern accent.
Is this amazing Wonderwall song good for beginners like me who have been playing guitar for a year? You are very good at explaining any song every single detail
Hi Padella, depends on your skills after a year. Most of my students could probably attempt this if they have completed my 7 Level Beginner Course and my Intermediate strumming course. Or at least understand what 16th notes are.
"Holy crap!?" Language Lauren! Lol That weird timing is natural to those of us from the North of England! Lol Again, another awesome lesson, thank you.
Thank you, Benn for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
What makes me laugh is so many people on youtube say Wonderwall is a beginner song. Thank you lauren for not pulling any punches and saying its an intermediate song.
i am going to be playing this for a talent show i won't be singing i don't think any recommendations that you may have? such as shortening it in different places
Hi Lauren, great video as always. I am a real beginner and trying to learn this song. Not sure what strumming pattern to follow. On Ultimate Guitar Tabs it appears the strumming pattern is DDD -- DUDUD-- D-- DUDUD-- D -DU -U - UDUDU . Which one would you recommend to follow?
@@LaurenBateman For a beginner, please? I know Em from 'Horse With No Name'. There I did not strum 1st and 2nd string on 2nd fret. Is that the difference between Em7 and Em?🤔
Ma'am i wanted to ask something. In the chorus is the E minor different than Em7? Basically i play E minor placing my index and middle finger on 5th and 4th string. But i saw your fingers playing E minor exactly like Em7. Can you please explain the finger movement here? Love from Bangladesh.
I found I've got a huge problem, I'm stumming phonetically with the song lyrics and not the music, I remember lyrics very easily and play to them is there a trick to fix this or just training and practice rhythmic strumming to songs??

No joke, was about to give up on this song until you explained the strumming pattern in a way that I can actually understand, thank you!
Woo hoo! Glad it helped.
It’s totally different strum pattern than “Talk Tonight”
Im liking this lesson
Checked out a dozen teachers on TH-cam.
Lauren, you are the best!
Great personality combined with a great teaching concept.
Love it!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Glad to help!! The capo makes a big difference.
Lauren, you are amazing, first time someone spent time teaching us (beginners) this weird/awesome strumming, thank you so much!!!
Hey Andrea, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.
I’ve been playing the guitar for 6 weeks now and this is by far best teaching of the Wonderwall strumming pattern. Thanks very much , you’re a brilliant at what you do.

Rock on! Thanks awesome!
Thanks for such a good and detailed lesson. It's taken a while but pretty much got it now.
Glad they are helpful! Thanks for watching!
11:04 cracked me up big time. hahaha. But you're 100% correct. NO WAY! This is a great tutorial and I got the strumming pattern down thanks to this.
But with enough practice you could 😀
Love your channel your teaching methods and relatability thanks so much!!
Glad you like them!

finally the correct strumming pattern. I watched 4 tutorials to learn this
You're welcome!!
impressed that you play Gretsch guitars !
Well George Harrison player Gretsch and one of my favorites Brandi Carlile plays Greatsch too.
This is awsome 🏅
Thanks for watching!
Great lesson
Thank you
What makes me laugh is so many people on youtube say Wonderwall is a beginner song. Thank you lauren for not pulling any punches and saying its an intermediate song.
With this strumming pattern. No way it's a beginner song. Happy to be honest.
Well presented = Thank you!
Thanks Jack, truly appreciate it!
i am going to be playing this for a talent show i won't be singing i don't think any recommendations that you may have? such as shortening it in different places
I usually don't play the interlude but I don't to much shortening myself live

Hi Lauren, great video as always. I am a real beginner and trying to learn this song. Not sure what strumming pattern to follow. On Ultimate Guitar Tabs it appears the strumming pattern is DDD -- DUDUD-- D-- DUDUD-- D -DU -U - UDUDU . Which one would you recommend to follow?
Whatever I teach in this video is what I recommend. There probably is a bit of improv in the song as well.
@@LaurenBateman Thank you
That thingamy chord is 2nd fret g string(e) 4th frett a and d strings it blends in without a capo xx x
One more question. For the a7sus4 after the walk down do you play the dduudu 2x or 4x?
Not sure if the top of my head. Try it both ways and see which one sounds right. That will help you start to trust your ear
Love it❤
Glad to know!
For the cadd9/em7/g/em, are you also using an em7 or a regular em?
Em7
1st vid to fully explain the parts after the intro😊
Thanks for watching!
If a person has a couple buddies one can tackle the percussive strum, one can tackle the core strum and the singer can go on auto pilot.
Yeah, great to play with friends
Fabulous
Thanks!
If I use the metradone to practice the strum - what speed would I use.
Whatever speed works for you. Ultimately you want to get as fast as 100-120
Waw,New,Yep,Long and knew
🤔 Interesting and 😊 fun
😎
Can you explain the difference (chorus) between Em7 and Em?
Em is root flat 3rd and 5th. Em7 is root flat 3rd 5th and flat 7th
@@LaurenBateman For a beginner, please? I know Em from 'Horse With No Name'. There I did not strum 1st and 2nd string on 2nd fret. Is that the difference between Em7 and Em?🤔
Hey Lauren. It’s obvious you put your heart and soul into making this video. You break it all down wonderfully!I Bravo and many, many thanks!!!
Could you do on for a beginner?
This song is hard to capture the essence at the beginner level. 😞
@@LaurenBatemancan you use the old fateful strumming pattern of down down up up down?
Thank you for teaching 2 weeks on guitar with an age of 31😅 but still want to learn..
You can do it!

Same chords for the entire song.

It really is practice
i like the strumming here more than other vids, but man its hard
You got this!
am now a star but also exhausted. Thx
Ha ha ha. If you can do this song, then you deserve a gold star for sure.
im thinking its near impossible to count strums it just happens it sounds good
Thanks for watching!
stuck like glue, also known as buster chords?
Buster chords. Interesting. First time hearing that. That's for sharing.
What does "sus" stand for? It's easier to remember what it means in practical means than just to remember "sus" without the meaning to it.
Sus stands for suspended. Great question. 😊 So sus2 means suspend a 2nd over the chord while sus4 means suspend a 4th over the chord.
Wonderwall:
Em, G add 9,Dsus4,
Yep
Wow
Just wondering whye every online teacher teaches a different strumming pattern?
I've counted at least 5 different ones so far
Depends on what they are hearing or feeling. My guess is that Oasis also uses 4 or 5 different strumming patterns when they play live.
I’m scared!! 😮😮 I think I’m good, then get confused!
Don't be! Just take your time, keep on practicing and will definitely get it :D
