  • How to make your strumming patterns sound better ✅ Check out Lauren’s Guitar Strumming Course: laurenbateman.mykajabi.com/of... - In this guitar strumming lesson, I’m going to go over cool ways to make your strumming patterns sound better when you play them. This lesson will be focused on strumming dynamics and strumming accents as a way of making the same exact guitar strumming pattern sounding better and cooler than the original.
    The number one questions I get asked by students is, "Why does my strumming sound bad?" "Why does your guitar always sound better than mine?"
    I will be sharing a couple of simple tips but also showing you many strumming pattern examples as ideas to expand your rhythm guitar playing. Students often ask me why my strumming patterns sound better than theirs even when they are playing the same exact thing.
    We are going to go over that in this guitar strumming lesson. I don’t know if I would consider this a beginner guitar strumming lesson, but maybe more of a late beginner guitar strumming lesson. So if you just got started with playing the guitar, this lesson may not be the best lesson on guitar strumming patterns. I recommend you watch the beginner guitar strumming patterns video instead: • EASY Beginner Guitar S...

      Ms. Lauren,
      In your style of strumming, the lightness sound like the intro to the song "San Francisco" by Scott Mckenzie. It's a very smooth strum. Btw, love learning from you, even if just on video. Would love to take actual lessons. I'm a paralyzed Disabled Veteran trying to get back out there, taking up music and playing along the way. Currently starting at Guitar Center this week but I seem to respond better taking lessons or even school from females. Myself, a girl playing guitar is freaking HOT! LOL! Thank you for your time and hope my message gets to you,,,

      I'm 60, yeah I hate that number like bad. But I grew up with a headset on since I was 8 years old in the very late 60s. So much love music, just never had the discipline to play. I'm going to try this video alone, just try to get some strumming going and get my fingers working. My goal has been 10 minutes a day, quite reasonable, and I haven't even been able to do that. Oh well maybe inspiration this time will work

    I’ve been looking at guitar instructors for the last few years and trust me Lauren Bateman is the only one that is certified to teach and I guarantee success! She is the best! No if Ann’s or butts. And thank you from the bottom of my heart sweetie! For being a real guitar Teacher. For some reason the guy instructors all they wanna do is sing badly.

      Hey Roh,.She's simply a for-real lady. Ya gotta love that! Or you're beyond repair. JMO. Best guitar teacher out there, me thinks. A tip: Record yourself, play it back, and just listen. You'll hear what other folks hear. Might not be what you thought it was? That happened to me. So I fixed it.

    15:32 first saw a guitar at age 5 it was so big I couldn't reach the strings . I took lessons when I was 12 or 13 but was more interested in working on my go-kart. I learned all those chords though. All through school and the Marine corps I still didn't practice didn't have a guitar. Add three great boys and a great wife but still no guitar. I was at work one day helping Mr Cho do some home improvements at a house. There was nothing in the house it was all piled up in the garage but in a closet in the kitchen there was a guitar, I asked Mr cho if I could have it and he said yes all them chords came back to me after I got it tuned up but could never play any songs I didn't know how thanks to you Lauren you gave me new purpose I know I have two guitars😅❤🎉 thank you

      Hey Marion. Lauren's a natural teacher. Her unselfish contributions of her talents to us old folks (I'm older than you, I bet?) is invaluable. She's way better than diamonds, IMO.

    Lauren…. You’re a natural !! I’ve been playing guitar over 50 years using the same old strumming patterns. I’ve always wanted to add more techniques and here in this video, you’ve magically taught them all - Relaxing wrist
    Accents
    Karate Chops (!)
    Crescendo
    I’m so eager to put all these to practice 👍♥️👍

      Hi Lily. "Natural" nails it! One never imagined that somebody would arrive here (this planet) with so much teaching talent, but she did. Thank your God! If you have one? I've learned so much from this lady that I just joined youtube. Not quite good enough yet to start playing & singing there, but I will soon. Assuming I live that long? LOL
      I'll be 80 next month. Yikes! If I can just keep my fingers and voice working for a little while longer. Reck'n we'll see? Merry Christmas.

    Hey Lauren. I don't know if you've read my posting about buying your strumming course next month, but I will. A lot of us old folks will be getting a 5.9% increase in our total monthly income, starting that month. Yippee! Beats no increase all to hell.
    And It will be totally cool having you available to teach me (and my little buddy) at any time of my choosing and more importantly, eliminate those pesky ads that routinely interrupt your "free" lessons via youtube. I've learned over too many years that they're ain't no free! Right? (You don't need to answer that. LOL)
    Finally, I'm an old am broadcast radio station manager and DJ, and I got my fill of ads about 50 years ago. Cuz I had to make them. Dang!

    Thanks.. I appreciate the way you use your voice to help orient the strum pattern. So many internet teachers either can't or don't sing along. I find it extremely helpful to hear the tones and the sound of the melody as you work on mechanics.... it helps me feel more musical less mechanical... if that makes any sense. subscribed!

    Thank you so so much for your strumming lessons. I first started playing the guitar in 2007. I don't really play allot. Through the years since 2007. I'd only pick it up here and there. Allot of it has to and has been mostly not have the opportunity or place to play. I've mostly only have had electric guitars. Everything I have learned over the years has been on CZcams. I've never really got to work much on my strumming. I've watch allot of video on it and even figured I just try and learn a song to see if it would help. I'd say 70 to 80 percent of it is me of course of not really beable to practice. The other 30 percent is not havening a acoustic a place to play and finding lessons I click with. But about 2 weeks ago someone gave me a acoustic guitar. Then about a week ago I came across your video lessons. I practice every thing I've seen of yours so far at lease 20 to 30 minutes a day. You have help me come along ways on my strumming. Please please never stop your videos. I appreciate all your lessons. You simplify it so easily to follow along with and make it so interesting. Again thank you so so much.

    I too have a science background. My degree is in Chemistry, which didn't help me at all playing the guitar. I love music and always dreamed of being able to play songs I love. After years of trying and failing, I have made so much more progress in the few weeks I have been playing guitar in your course. Thanks for a great course. And yes you are a great teacher, Keep it up.

    Hi Lauren, I have never played a guitar in my life but always had the desire to learn. 2 years ago I took a Guitar for Vets crs for 3 months and was more confused at the end then when I started! I came across your page on CZcams and have learned and made more progress in 2 weeks then I did in that whole G4V crs. Although I appreciated their time and effort, not all teachers are created. Equal, I love the way you teach, how simple you help a novice pick it up. I watch your video everyday and practice at least 30min a day, feel very confident I will soon be able to play my 1st ever love song to my wife on our 47 anniversary, just 6 months away. God bless you dear for sharing your gift with the world!

    @cvetnojsad Před rokem +3

    Hi Lauren! I'm very happy I have just now found you! I've been so many years playing guitar without being able to do that, but just for my fun, and this is also the reason why more than once I gave up playing and even gave away my guitar!
    Recently I learnt my first serious Strumming pattern (WAW! 😃), but, you're right, I fear to go out from that pattern while I'm playing a Song, even though I feel like making some small chance according to my feeling, to my mood.
    It must require much expertise to combine the two things, mustn't it?
    Thank you so much!
    I'll follow you. Bye! ☺️
