    you are the only person who made a video with this specific need in mind! it's exactly what i needed in my guitar journey and i can't thank you enough! i just couldn't figure out what was wrong with my sound, i've got rhythm and numerous strumming patterns, and i'm like why don't i sound like good players, other than i'm newish! it was this, holding the pick too tight, for fear of losing grip and not angling it enough, thank you Lauren!

Back then I had a music book and learned chord that way. My bf just bought me a mini Martin and I am so happy and obsessed and excited and can’t stop playing. Thank you for all the songs and strumming techniques!!

    Superb lesson, it's all about putting your own feeling and emotion into a song, not just random strumming of chords, similar to singing a song not just saying the words
