I just began my guitar journey (on an electric), and your video lessons, Miss Bateman, are by far the easiest to understand and follow along! Thank you for everything! You are truly the BEST ❤
I am new to learning guitar and you are the first person I watched and I thank you. I am glad you said it wasn’t wrong to use other fingers because I found that when I do an A chord and put my 3rd finger on 2nd string,1st finger on 3rd string and 2nd finger on 4th string and when I change to D chord I only have to lift 2nd finger and put it on 1st string and slide hand til 3rd finger is in 3rd fret . Much easier to change
I have a guitar for some years now and never lurned to play. Now you showed me how. I have tried but couldn't find someone to teach me. You have unlocked it. Thanks a lot ❤
A really nice song for beginners is " Every Rose Has It's Thorn " by Poison. Alternating between the G major and C add9. A couple other chords and Voila! Beautiful song and easy. Love your videos. Thanks

Good day Lauren! A question on behalf of every English speaking person living in Russia: we're not allowed to enter your website, is there another way to buy your courses? Warm greetings from Moscow from a Dutchman.
Thanks for donating those lessons. They are a great help to those who fought for freedom. You don't know how much you really helped each one participating in that program. Thank again and God bless.
Thank you so much!! You’re a great teacher! I’m so glad that I have found you, because I want to honor the memory of my father and learn to play guitar. ☺️❤️🩹
Excellent presentation Lauren, just wondering, since you mentioned Lefties .. how do you approach left-hand players as total beginner...do you recommend them to try playing right hand at the very start? Ger the guitar man in claregalway Galway Ireland.
Hi Lauren, thank you so much for all the content in your channel. It is great for beginners like me. You’re gifted to teaching! Thank you for making it easy and enjoyable to learn. As soon as I have spare funds, I’d like to buy your on line course.
Hi Lauren when you play G C D with 4 fingers, you can also move fingers 1+ 2 from C down 1 string that is an F Cord. Also if you put same fingers on the Em strings, Yes you have Em.
The problem with the F-Chord isn’t the Chord. The real problem are the teachers who told his/her students that barre-Chords are so difficult to learn. Nearly every teacher told me this. And the result is a self fulfilling prophecy: it’s hard to learn … Cordial greetings from Schwerin, Germany Sandra
I love your videos. I am an older beginner working with an instructor via face time but I augment my learning with many of your videos. This video is exactly the chords we are currently working on and this video helps me tremendously. Thank you!!!
I couldn't get the introduction for dust in the wind with others Technics since touching these classes I am improving and getting better acquiring speed and sound even in the acoustic nylon strings ....thanks
Yes you've donnit again! Great tips, especially the F-(ing)chord shortcut to Fmaj7 is very usable, thanks! I just wondered; classic guitars seem to have a broad neck compared to modern (rounded case) guitars. Is there a similar difference with electric guitars? Do they come too in two different sizes? My wife bought a guitar especially for small hands, and it turns out to have the same small neck/fretboard as my electric guitar, which regularly gives me troubles for being too small... It's an (ordinairy) Gretsch Electromatic guitar, but now I wonder how ordinairy it is...?
Thanks for watching! There are different sizes of guitar that will suit or fit the user. It can be the same fret size of an electric or bigger. It will depend on your preference.
You can play Am with fingers 2/3/4 then slide out one fret and put down first finger barred and that’s your F . I use my middle finger layed across D,g,b, and my A is perfect occasionally mutes A string I play my C just like G moving down first and ring finger to A, D
Yes , as a matter of fact if you are new to guitar , learning on an electric is way easier and will build your finger strength and dexterity much faster. Then later when you switch to an acoustic guitar you will find it much easier once you build up callous.
A C major chord only has 3 notes. C, E and G. or Root 3rd and 5th as intervals. A Cadd or Cadd9 is a C major chord CEG that you add another note to it. In this case a D note. so a Cadd 9 is made up of CEGD. you're adding a D to the nores of a C major chord. It functions the same or serves the same purpose as a C major chord. Just a little more color too it.
I'll add to RNAMusic's reply. The Cadd9 can also be played with only 3 fingers if it fits the song better. Since the "regular" C Major includes the open high E string already, you can keep it open and just add the D note. This makes for a simpler transition from a regular D chord to a C, such as you might find in the Eagles song "Take It Easy" or in Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence." The open E gives it a different sound from the 4-finger Cadd9. Experiment with the song and play which sounds better. I play "Let It Be" in the key of G and will use both regular C major and the 3-finger Cadd9 in it.
In music notation, particularly in guitar chord notation, the term "add" indicates the addition of a specific note to a chord. For example, in the Cadd chord, the "add" typically means that an additional note is added to the basic C major chord. In the case of a Cadd chord, the added note is usually a major 7th (B note). So, instead of just playing the basic C major chord (C-E-G), you would add the B note to create a Cadd chord (C-E-G-B).
Ive been playing 3 and a half years and it obviously makes sense to learn open chords and sometimes easy versions of those. However barre chords are really something that are worth spending time get to grips with. If you do that you can play virtually any chord with 3 shapes, it also gets you more familiar with the fretboard. I obviously appreciate you're focusing on maybe a specific demographic but for those who want to expand, barre chords are worth exploring. Some songs can even be played by playing on shape just in different frets. Always love the videos though Lauren
@@LaurenBateman no problem, I wasn't trying to rain on your parade or anything, but I just thought getting later stage beginner/ approaching intermediate players, the effort, for those interested, is well worth it, and barre chords are definitely easier further away from the nut 👍

Agreed. First song I learned last May. Goes down a storm 😊
Great video Lauren as always. As you mentioned as a beginner I am finding it harder to properly and quickly transition from chord to chord.
You can do it!
@@LaurenBatemanany recommendations on a video you have created to help with chord transitioning?
