    In this lessons video, I am going to be going over 4 of the easier chords you should learn on guitar as a beginner player. Now these absolute beginner guitar chords use only two fingers. And the great thing about learning these 4 chords is that they are very commonly used in songs together.
    If you learn these 4 easy acoustic guitar chords: the easy C chord, the easy G chord, the easy D chord and the E minor chord, then you will be able to play thousands of songs.
    I will also show you how to use a capo with these 4 absolute beginner guitar chords to play even more songs. These easy acoustic guitar chords are great for beginner and older players alike. Good luck!

    You helped me out so much. I got a guitar last year and looked up other videos for beginners but only showed the three finger method for every note and it ended up causing me a lot of pain. After numerous failed attempts at trying to learn, my guitar pretty much became a decoration for almost a year. Yesterday, I decided to give it another shot and that's when I came across this video. Your methods actually got me to play notes and now I can finally learn. What I love is that you actually repeat all the steps to keep it fresh. Thank you for making me feel confident enough to continue.

    You are an amazing teacher and make it so easy to understand with your patients.

    To all beginners, Lauren should be your go to!!!!Lauren, all I have to say is thank you for being so amazing! I told my husband that I wanted to learn how to play guitar and he surprised me with an early Christmas present a week ago. I went into this not knowing anything and watching a few videos before finding you. Those videos are nothing in comparison to your teaching. I started with the video of becoming familiar with strumming and moving your fret fingers. Now I am learning chords! 💗

    I think out of the three videos I've seen today from you Lauren, this one was the most helpful. Two things stand out to me. First, you showed an Easy D, which I was looking for to play. The second was how you mentioned the transition between Easy G and Easy D, which I didn't know before. The sequence of chords G Em C Em also is helpful so I can get used to playing. I have in my head now about how to get better playing Amazing Grace, which I hear is a great song to play at the beginner's level. I wrote down on paper the chords so that I can begin to memorize them. This video is really, really good, so thanks for the time and effort you put into it.

Probably will never pick up another guitar. I'm 6'6" about 250 lbs and my poor wrist is what I landed on when I fell. Good Luck with your playing. It is fun.

    Hi Lauren, I'm an 84 year old guy who is determined to learn guitar, at least enough to strum a few chords to popular songs. Your teaching method and close ups make it the most effective teaching technique I have found on line and in person lessons. I wish you were in South Florida. My biggest problem so far is muting strings due to the heel of my hand touching the strings and I'm finding it difficult to overcome no matter where I move my thumb. Any suggestions? BTW, the icing on the cake is that you're also the prettiest guitar instructor I have ever seen.

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Larry, hello! I actually just landed in Miami today for a conference. That's a very common problem you have and unfortunately, there are many possible reasons for this. Most likely it is your wrist placement. I will try to explain this as best as possible. What I want you to do is to drop your fretting hand down to the side and then bring it up to your guitar around the neck. This is the most natural position for you to hold your guitar. You also want to make sure that the body of your guitar is straight up and down not lying at an angle on your stomach.

    • @larrygoodson7182
      @larrygoodson7182 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@LaurenBateman Lauren, Thanks so much for your reply. Wish I knew you were in Miami or I would have driven down from Delray just to say hello in person. In any case, I'm concentrating on keeping the guitar angled neck up and even bought a wide strap that helps me do that while standing and even sitting, but I guess it just needs more concentration and practice time. This is not going t o be an easy task but I know it's worth it if i can stay the course.

    Hi Lauren, I am an absolute beginner. I keep the tuner on my guitar and when Im practicing these chords im watching the tuner all the time to see if the chords im playing are right if you know what I mean? It is getting me frustrated though because most of the time Im not playing them right as different notes come up on the tuner. Sorry to everyone if I sound daft here and this is not what I should be doing at all. Im attempting to teach myself through youtube!

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes because when you play chords you are playing multiple notes and strings. I doesn't work that way. Only one string at a time.
