I picked up my husband's guitar yesterday and randomly came across your videos. And now I can play a song. You take all the frustration out and keep the fun.
Lauren you were the first TH-cam guitar teacher I learned from 3yrs ago. Iv since graduated to some more technical stuff but my foundation is all Bateman. Thanks again
I don’t usually leave comments but this this was one of the best videos that I have ever used for learning guitar. I am currently taking classes and just trying to learn a little extra on the side for fun but the way you slow things down and show the charts the whole time is phenomenal!!! Thank you so much!!
I'm a 60 year old beginner, i have your beginner course. This song is what i aspire to and this video will help me greatly. I love your ways and find them most helpful. I also only have one arm which makes things a bit more difficult, so your easy chords are a great help. I have watched Dirk Thomson and have my chords worked out. My biggest problem is i can't play and sing, i go to pieces when i try.
I have barely held a guitar and this video gave me the motivation to start learning. I keep coming back to it. I now practice every day for hours. Thank you!
I have two items to thank Lauren Bateman for: I can now make my cord changes fast enough to keep up with this video and the complement from my wonderful wife of twenty years made. She recognized the song I was playing. 🙂
Thank you for this video, Laura. I started to play many years ago in high school, but never made it to a solid intermediate level before life happened. I'm 60 now and my wife and I are setting up a music room in our home (she plays drums and I also started keyboards recently), so watching lessons like you showed here is a big help to bring up the level of my guitar playing.
I'll be 55 on the 22nd of April and have always wanted to learn to play the guitar. So as an early bday present to myself I purchased a nice electric Strat A Like that arrived yesterday. Rather than bouncing around from different ebooks and YT videos, Ive been looking to find a structured type course and landed here. After watching this video, I really think I've found the perfect teacher for me so looking forward to taking your courses! I'm a huge Skynyrd fan and this was great to see the way you broke it down!
Thanks Lauren! I'm checking out your crash course now and I'm really enjoying it. I really like the way you explain things and your enthusiasm for teaching definitely comes across in your videos. I think it's safe to say that you're gonna have a new student I your 7 level system very soon!
Thank you for the lesson. I'm going on 40 yrs old, and I have always wanted to play the guitar. I just learned Robert Johnson, " Where did you sleep last night" and now I hope to master this song. I honestly think I understand a woman better than a man. Lol, but thank you, and I'll be following right behind you Jimmy
I LOVE this song...but i am 45 years old and just started to learn playing guitar a month ago....i looked it up and thought yea maybe in a year or two :)....you version is very nicely broken down and still sounds close enough to the original..i love it...i m gonna practice anc practice till im fast enough! Thanks alot! Sub earned
Hi Lauren, Just found this video and love that you specialise in teaching seniors. At 61 as you specialise at teaching seniors I wish you were UK based and were near me. I just got my first guitar and found a tutor close by but is on holiday until mid October and I'm itching to start. Nothing like a bit of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Best wishes, Mark
Awesome tutorial! I just bought my first guitar at 29 years old. I know nothing of chords or how to read music but this tutorial give me hope. Thank you!
Hey Lauren, this video is just what I needed to get myself going on the guitar again. After trying to teach myself for a couple of years I plateaued out and stopped making progress, got discouraged and sold my guitar. I always intended to get back into it, but life got in the way and I never did. That was about 45 years ago. Now I'm one of those 70 somethings that you talk about in the video. I only wish I could have had this kind of instruction back then! But maybe there's still hope for me. Thanks for the great instruction, you make it so easy to follow. Cheers (PS-I got my old Takamine that I sold in 1978 back and also have a nice De Armond/Guild electric--so no excuses now)
There will always be hope for you! It's never too late. I'm really glad to hear that you got back into it and I hope that my lessons would be helpful :D You can do it!
You are a wonderful teacher! I am a beginner older adult and you explain guitar very easy i have learning difficulty and thanks for the easy lessons. You amazing at your job!
Almost 3 months in, learning only online. Learned some chords and whatnot but started feeling a bit stuck (not a lot of time to practice.) This was a helpful tutorial. Something I'll be praciticing. Will be checking out more of your videos.
I'm no pro but i would suggest House of the rising sun. Full of useful, common chords and helps your pick hand with the one string/one note at a time pattern.
Videos like yours are great for keeping people my level in the foundations and still yet interesting. I am happy playing some songs as close as possible instead of being frustrated with the exactness of my inspirations’ pro-level complexities. Thanks for sharing this!! Subbed. ❤ I’m your typical 55yo customer. Self taught lefty playing friends guitars upside down at first (18-22yo). Acquired my 1st.. a Tele knockoff and restrung it lefty for me. A friend who played showed me barred E, A and open D, C shapes and simple finger exercises. Bought several books. (Unfortunately, I’m a huge Alex Lifeson fan) So, gave up eventually ~ 25yo. Rekindled interest and bought a lefty Mexican Strat circa 1994 and still have it today, along with/ a 65W Marshall. Always picked it up (then with OLGA on internet) but have eventually stopped/started, etc. feeling plateaued. Lessons like yours help me stay with it and keep it fresh.
Thank You Miss Lauren I have Purchased a new Guitar as I hit Retirement age about 69. I am Really interested in learning the Fingerstyle Guitar Pickin, and I grew up on Southern Rock, Marshall Tucker Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Simple Man was always one of my Favs. If you could do a beginner Fingerstyle Video sometime it would be much Appreciated by me and maybe others. Thanks Much for Your Work, tis a Blessing. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@LaurenBateman Lauren, with your programme, I’m slowly but surely becoming a guitarist. I’m no Gordon Lightfoot but I know I’m on the right track ….thanks to all your courses. Thank you!
Enjoy the video me I'm 71 years old have a bunch of guitars have a bunch of banjos and never picked app once but I like to I'm getting a little too old so I'm going to try it So thank you and I'll be watching more have a good day
I've been imitating Tony Iommi & Trey Anastasio for so long, I ain't so gud at carrying a whole song. Suddenly I respect my old rythm guitarist a lot more! TY LB, it's actually quite fun to be a noob after mastering other guitar stuff so long ago. HF all. The guitar WILL reward you, we promise! ❤🎉
I'm only 55, but the video was a great help. LOL. I've been plucking each string for this song for years, but never was able to strum it like that. Look forward to doing it that way. thank you!!
Oh no Jesse sorry about that! The video is from 4 years ago so a little different than how I film now. Will add it to the video TY! th-cam.com/video/8DGmxESVlBw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MGwJU-vizl3yxrVN
Thank you so much for this video. Just played the whole song and it’s a really awesome feeling for me. Keep going !!! You tutorial are really great !!!
Hi Laura I am not a native English speaker. I enjoy watching your videos.Too bad I don't have a guitar teacher like you. Taking part in such a course must be fun. John Czech republic:-)
You have a very soulful voice! Dripping with emotion screaming to come out. Bet you could do some killer covers of Metallica or Alice In Chains. Great job
This song really puts me in a sad place (mother issues im sure 😂). Anyway.. i love how you simplified this. In my mind im crushing it because i know those chords well but going from C to G is difficult for me. Btw.. ive been going all over youtube for beginners and this person is my favorite by a mile. Really good teaching and communication
Hi Lauren. What about Townes Van Zandt's "Poncho and Lefty". The b minor that people teach on YT makes it difficult for beginner to master. Wonder of you have a shortcut. Its a great tune to play otherwise.
I havent played for 10 plus years because someone stole my guitar. This program plus the boredom of unwanted retirement Ive decided to bleed and peel to callus and start playing again. Easy beginner rife to rebuild cant wait to hitvupper levels again. Thanks
i'm in Level 2 of your course, I'll try a challenge with the easy intro and perhaps the chord progression (slow!) with this Am chord! It's a lovely song, and this strumming pattern works very well! Ba Ba Bam..Ba Ba Bam... robert, from Italy

You can do it! Just take your time and keep on practicing :D
Fun fact about Ronnie, he never wrote down lyrics, they were all in his head when he brought them to the band
Never knew that!
This is very true.
He also wrote a lot of stuff while fish with the others playing at hell house
True about most great artists
Hmmm 🤔. I'm gonna say they were in his heart ❤️
I have barely held a guitar and this video gave me the motivation to start learning. I keep coming back to it. I now practice every day for hours. Thank you!
same!!
That's awesome! Keep it up :D
Me too
Keep practicing. Great tune to start on !
I'm getting my first ever guitar today, an electric. This video along with some others on YT, really helped me. Life is much more joyful now.
you are actually the only yt'er who teaches songs slowly and for actual beginners. First Bad Moon Rising and now Simple Man, thank you
You're so welcome !
I agree! Your tutorials are awesome!
