Must See First Acoustic Guitar Lesson for Beginners

Lesson 2
Plz share the link

Hi Lauren, many thanks for your tuition, you have good clear diction and you make the subject easier to understand. This is really great for old timers like me at 73. I applaud you, thanks once again.

Should I have watched this two years ago when I picked up the guitar. Also you should teach us how to harmonically tune...I already know but not many do

Lol yo soo good 👍

I need you HERE . .

I love your teaching but it confuses me that the strings seem to be opposite from the way you are playing them… you are showing on the top string and go down but the illustration shows the opposite… just confusing to me

Thanks!

Started my lessons but why my thumb can reach up when I try to place well other figures on the cords??

Another thing please can you share again on how to tune acoustic guitar please ,simplest method, because when I tune and try to play the cord I will show but then the last sound will change into a different cord

I just started the 7 step course and i must say it,s worth the price.Laura has to be the most laid back on line teacher going.With that kind of demeanor it makes learning fun.I don't feel rushed and can enjoy what i am practicing with her pdf. In fact i plan on getting her fingerpicking course as well.

Finger exercises why can't I get a sound from the string? Hopefully it's not a stupid question lol

Lauren, I have a comment about the timing you were talking about. Instead of doing four strums, what I found helpful in the beginning was strumming once and using the rest of the count to build the next chord. I have a metronome app on my phone so I can speed up slowly. Just a thought.

I am so thankful to have found your page. I’m 53 and have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. Fear of not being very good and be laughed at held me back. Hopefully starting April 2024 the current chapter in my life will close with me being a warrior after a cancer diagnosis, surgery and months of chemo and radiation. I got my guitar a few weeks ago for my birthday and it came with a couple of group lessons. These lessons made my greatest fears that prevented me from trying seem mild. I’ve been following along albeit slowly with you and while I’m not breaking records I can play C and Em, it’s a process, and your kind delivery is so encouraging as you meet people like me where they are. I don’t want to play for anyone and my goals are really just to not regret never trying and I would like to just enjoy the journey. Thank you for your what you do. After my second paid for lesson I felt so defeated and was ready to sell the guitar. I still own it and more importantly I am utilising what you are sharing every day. Again thank you.

This is great. I am a beginner and I think I can learn a lot from you. Question, why is the diagram showing the six string opposite from the guitar? I am placing all you lessons on my computer so I don’t miss a lesson. Thank you so much. Robert from Texas

Hi Laura, congratulations for your award in Business and thank you for this free guittar lessons. I am not sure where to strike. Is it on the string where my other finger presses down or its all the 6 strings?

Thank you!

Brilliant teacher, wish I had the Internet many years ago - this one video alone is so helpful 🎸

You are an incredibly amazing teacher. With an excellent approach and pedagogy.

Fantastic teacher with excellent capabilities 👍👍👍👍

Wish I had the money I am impressed with her style

Hey! I like your teaching style...do you teach electric guitar or mostly acoustic?

I didn’t see where to get the PDF

You have a lot of patience. Appreciate it

Loved this!!!

Fantastic! Just starting to learn and enjoying these videos

Hi Lauren, just watched your finger exercise, you could call it the spider pentatonic 😉 from your first lesson must see.

You are amazing, God bless you, thank you for your patience, thank you for teaching us, thank you for the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤❤

Brilliant teacher i am a complete beginner 64 with several health pronblems but thi❤s approach has given me hope that i can learn to play....

hi Lauren you are the guitar teacher i ever know

Quick question: If chords are named based on the first note played, why is the 2-finger "C" chord a "C" and not an "E" ? Just wondering. Great lesson. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this lesson! I have one quick question though. When I am holding down the stings on the fretting board, It does not make a clear sound like yours in the video. Is there something wrong with my guitar?

There are lots of people out there teaching guitar. Lauren is by far the best. She takes a great deal of time to show and explain.

THE only teacher I watch - FANTASTIC!

I put "1st lesson on acoustic guitar" in the search bar and the first video up has a woman wearing a Captain America shirt. I'm in lol

My fingers hurt when pressing the strings and I feel like I can't get my fingers correctly positioned 😢

I thank you some of the teaching skills you are teaching for me as a beginner a old one at. that. Thank you.

Hi Lauren! It's Ruth whose guitar instructor is Brian May. I fractured my upper left arm a month ago so I'm unable to play my guitar now. Hopefully my arm heals fast. It's hard for me to see my guitar sitting there. Brian May did something awesome for me. He knew I took piano when I was a little girl and I regret to this day quiting. Brian texted me 3 days ago and said there is a free Keyboard for me at Studio Arts. I was so touched. I can still play music right hand only but I'm having fun.

Waiting impatiently for my gutar to be delivered this arvo. Cant wait. Excited 64 yr young.

❤

Thanks

Thanks

Had a bit of difficulty after wrist and elbow surgery (gonna be fretting with scar tissue at a certain point!), but I have a meeting this weekend to have a luthier do set ups on my parlor guitar and my electric guitar (gonna wait and do bass later-- was so bored, and I wanna start on the one that will give me the best foundation of knowledge, AND I just want to have fun!) I said when I was ready, I'd be looking into Lauren because she just seems amazing, explains things well, is patient, and just seems to understand us older students better.

How important are learning all the scales, fretboard, etc before doing chords?

If you are left handed, can you learn playing also do you have to reverse the string positions on the guitar? Pls answer. Thanx.

Hello Lauren, thankyou for your video it's so good. I've learnt more in 2 days than 2 months. ❤
