      That barre F-chrod is heck for me (made me leave the guitar 17 years ago) but where I have issue is string two as I can't get my first finger to ring it out on any of my three guitars (all have various width of nuts 41/42/43 and 1 is a 24in scale model). I have tried all sorts of positions to even hurting myself but that string, and my first finger are not on speaking terms.

    This is one song that i find haunting and always like listening to.
    Transposing it from a Piano to Guitar is not easy to keep the essence of the song.
    Thanks for teaching us this one Lauren, this will be a tricky one to play well.

    I have been trying to find a simpiler way to play this,I have seen 3 other players and I just couldn't get it,but I got it better with you,your rhythm was a touch too fast on the verse but I got the switch on the bridge to chorus,but I can do it now,I gotta go to work on this cause I love this song,I feel like this sometimes, like I'm the only one that knows what's going on🤔🌷⚘💓🌹💓🌷🥰 Thank you...Mrs.Bateman..

  • @aalb1970
    @aalb1970 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great tutorial. The song is pretty straight forward. The only thing I find challenging is to connect the F barre chord with the next chord. There's always a slight pause when I lift the barre and fret the next chord.

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, that can be difficult. To maintain timing, you may need to drop a strum or two until the chord transition catches up.

    For the fingerpicking pattern, I thought it is easier to slide my second finger from the second fret to the third fret and use my thumb to play the lick. Anyone who has a problem with playing the lick can try this instead

    Would using TAB sheet music suffice for Finger Style playing as well or is there a difference? I'm leaning toward TAB style playing is more for lead guitar playing using an electric guitar. Can you explain the difference to me?

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like tab better as it tells you which strings to play. Staff is the traditional way of readig music.
