Most teachers assume so much and rush by parts so fast they are hard to understand. I love and appreciate your explaining tricky parts several times to make sure we can get it. The extra tips at the end are very good and help us to have some flair! Thanks for being such a patient, caring, and excellent teacher!!
I am a retired individual who received a guitar last Christmas.I have learned a lot from your videos. You are very patient with people like me(beginners).Thank you. Bac
Love your teaching I’m telling others about your videos we old folks need someone with patience hard to teach a old dog new tricks but learning God bless
I could write several paragraphs on this lesson but keeping it short - I think this is the best lesson on this great song on the WEB. Do not skip the bonus section, it enhances the song big time and is not difficult.
my great teacher Lauren thank you so much.Love so much your channel .Im so excited to be weekend always and vacation in school so that I will be with you most of the time .
I just recently found your channel and bought my first guitar. I have been taking piano lessons for the past 10 years and got my first music lesson 67 years ago on an accordion. One of the first tunes I learned was The Skater's Waltz. At the time, I was told waltz time was 3/4 time. I never saw 6/8 time until many years later when I fell in love with traditional Irish music, where I was told that 6/8 time was "jig" time. I really enjoy your videos. Will be signing up for your beginner's course next week. Thanks for all the hard work. Sorry, I guess time has passed me by. I just saw another video on this song and that guy also said it was in waltz time. I just need to get with the times :)
I've played for about 30years and quite just started back a few months ago you sure had gave my mind a good kick start thank you girl your the greatest
Thanks Lauren, great lesson, I'm an old geezer with a lovely Gibson, I can get my fingers around this lovely song, I had the privilege of seeing Lenoard in Greece many years ago xx
Hi Lauren thanks for this lesson. So clear and well explained. Now I have no excuses thank you. I listened to a few guys who, to be fair have been most excellent but there's no little 'foggy' areas with your lesson so most excellent. Cheers
I love all your lessons. So easy to understand. I'm getting the hang of things. I find so far the finger picking songs are easier for me so far. Strumming still needs practicing along with holdbthe pick and keep it from moving. I find myself Strumming to hard.
This lesson made a huge difference in the sound of this song going from how I was playing it to how it sounds. If I can figure out how to record on Garage Band I will post the the new version here. Would like to post my old version for comparison but don't want to play it like that again. This lesson is not complex but makes a huge improvement.
May I make a suggestion? Please refer to the stings by their number. The skinny E string is the 1st string. The 6th string , as you know is also an E. It doesn't help when you refer to the strings, as the top one or the bottom one. You have a lovely voice and believe it or not, it is a big is a great tool for teaching. Thank you so very much. I shall continue to follow you because yo speak clearly and I can tell you really want your viewers to learn . Thank you
Such a terrific lesson ~ very easy to follow and with wonderful detail. The tab and picking pattern inserts help a lot. And the bonus embellishments - very nice. You are a very good teacher. Thank you so much!
You are A Wonderful Teacher Which comes first the Intro or the verse. What is and Intro. What is the difference from a Intro and a verse. What are they. (Oh,Am A Begginer sorry)
Waw I was listen to Hallelujah a little while ago It's Beautiful! I Was trying it on my Recorder waitout music notes and it went well,waw! A Little girl was singing while I was playing the WORD'S are so Thouching,Yap!,waw! Your Picture pop out this morning With the The Word's Halleluya,Yes!Waw! Let's Learn it! Yes! I was going to write and ask for "Halleluys but there you were already With Halleluya,Waw!Yes! Let's go learn It! Waw!Amen! Love you Guitar Teacher Laura Baitman,Ha!🧑😁😀😃😄
Medium Guitar Palmer Finger don't fate in 6fret sooo I place it in 5fret. The CaboI is in the way my finger don't fit sooo I but the Cabo in the 5th fret.
Hi Lauren, I really love to watch your channel, now I used to watch everyday . Really make me hot more strength in learning guitar although I am not a good player . Thx 🙏🏻 BTW you got a sweet voice and you are very gentle 🎸🎶🎵🎧🤩
Hello Lauren. I am new to your video instruction, and I am old to playing guitar. On again off again for many, many years. This is an enjoyable lesson, and detailed very well. My thanks for your instruction. I was curious, would you ever consider a video instruction on the song "Maria" from Westside story? Again, my thanks.
Hi Lauren, fabulous lesson. 👏🏻👍🏼 You’re a great teacher. Loving your style of teaching. Only started learning to play the guitar year and a half ago and this is one of the songs I want to learn, so big thanks for the very clear instructions and of course taking the time to make those videos. Much much appreciated. You rock! 🎸 Greetings from 🇬🇧
Hi Lauren, I am a beginner. At your 3:40 time mark, I see you have EM11 chord holding down the 4th and 5th strings but when picking you don't pick the 4th and 5th strings so why have the EM11 chord? Or, I just saw it wrong. Thank you.
Great lesson Lauren, thank you very much. Leonard Cohen is my all time favourite and that's a great rendition. Just subscribed - would love to see you do more LC songs. Thanks so much
Hey Lauren Another awesome lesson. Thank you. One question. Why is the Em7 not played with just the ist finger on the A string second fret. That said it seems to me it doesn't matter either way because the low E is open and the only GB and high E are picked. So if we aren't strumming Em7 at some point why play it that way? Thanks Gary
Hi Lauren, can you please share a link to the chords on your website. I can’t find them. Thank you, I’m doing your finger picking course and loving it!
Hello Lauren, am a bit confused with the Em 7 shape, do we keep the 3rd and last fingers glued together on the 1st and 2nd string or is it just the 2nd string? Thank you 😊
Great lesson. Where was the B7 chord? Did I miss it? I play this song in C. But I’ll play around with it in G. Thanks for the hammer on tips. They always add flavour if used correctly. Cheers Brent
when I learn a picking pattern I learn using the string numbers & not the fingers (If Im understanding how u r teaching) so it confuses me a bit. Kinda turns my head around a bit. So I have to write down the string numbers instead so when I read music notation I can continue doing the way it is written. grr. Thank u for the song. I do have a different pattern by Leonard Cohen from a book "100 Most Beautiful songs ever for guitar picking". I do like your version also.
@@LaurenBateman I started with classical guitar years ago & slack key guitar so I guess I had a bit of a solid learning background . Had to stop the guitar due to work but now I have time to revisit some of those things I had learned. Thank u again for your videos and response. Your videos help to nudge me along in my musical journey which will always B a life time of learning . No matter what information is out there on music there is always something to learn.
Hello Lauren I just want to share this with you..I've always love the guitar, but never learn how to play it, so my wife just bought me a guitar and told me to learn how to play it, I have bought stuff to learn, and I was looking for help and how to learn, I dont know nothing at all, I fou d your channel and it looks like is a great help, can you please help me , I want to learn how to play guitar, do you have any lessons for beginners, please can you help me? Thank you so much God bless you....
Whys the black bandage on your right pinky? I went to a bone doctor about my little pinky and he said come back for therapy...omg I told him I'm not going to do that and just started using my pinky less on guitar and it got better one its own lol love you and God bless.
Hi Spike, yes this is a little more beginner intermediate. Do you best. I do recommend Johnny cash Hurt for an easier finger picking song: th-cam.com/video/OyKjfCijTXw/w-d-xo.html&vl=en
Hi Lauren. Need help. For the E minor chord, if I'm playing the 6th string,then 32123 I'm not actually playing the 4th and 5th strings , so they are open. Why form an E minor chord?

Which comes first the Intro or the verse.
What is and Intro.
What is the difference from a Intro and a verse.
What are they.
(Oh,Am A Begginer sorry)
It's different sections of the songs. Intro starts the song. Verse is lyrics that are different. Chorus is lyrics that repeat.
Crystal teaching, thanks a lot...
You're most welcome

That said it seems to me it doesn't matter either way because the low E is open and the only GB and high E are picked. So if we aren't strumming Em7 at some point why play it that way?

Hello Lauren, am a bit confused with the Em 7 shape, do we keep the 3rd and last fingers glued together on the 1st and 2nd string or is it just the 2nd string?
Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching! For Em7, yes you are correct 3rd and 4th finger stays together on the 1st and 2nd string.
Could you please do a tutorial for Candle In The Wind by Elton John.
Awesome recommendation, i'll try adding it to my list
Great lesson. Where was the B7 chord? Did I miss it?
I play this song in C. But I’ll play around with it in G. Thanks for the hammer on tips. They always add flavour if used correctly. Cheers Brent
