    I am 53. Just purchased my first guitar 3 weeks ago. Honestly, I haven't found something so entertaining and frustrating at the same time. Maybe ever. I did this exercise and literally couldn't move my ring finger at all. After a week, it hasn't gotten easy, but I can do it pretty well. Awesome exercise! Watching a new connection form between my brain and finger was the coolest thing!!!

    I am 59 yo and have been trying to learn for several years. I have had 3 teachers over 6-7 years, and paid a lot of $, but none of them taught me the exercises and techniques Lauren taught in the first video and this one.
    I have never been able to make the chord changes quickly or smoothly enough to actually play any songs. So, I paused my learning many times because I did not progress.
    I don't remember how I found Lauren's first video, about a week ago, but these two lessons are by far the most important I have ever had. I am finally making progress. These fundamental exercises are challenging and enjoyable.
    Maybe I can actually learn to play and not keep stopping and starting 😊
    Thank you Lauren. You are the first, and only teacher, including dozens of popular online teachers, to slow down, break it down, identify the most difficult challenges and barriers, then teach in a clear way that I can actually follow. Thank you.

    That ring finger part is tough. Also I could really feel that in my forearm muscles afterwards

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  3 роки тому +5

      Yea it's a toughy. Try and keep that forearm relaxed. Breathe through it. Never force it.

    Thank you for this amazing video!! I was an amazing guitar player 20 years ago, it's been a long and sometimes frustrating journey trying to reteach myself this skill, but I'm determined! Your videos are my favorite, this exercise has already been so helpful. The C to G transition gets me everytime!! I do feel a lot of pain in my left wrist and some tension in my shoulder when I do this. I have been watching videos about proper hand positioning which is obviously the problem. I have to yet to find my solution. Thanks Lauren for your wonderful instruction!

    • @LaurenBateman

      Are you using a guitar strap and pointing your guitar neck upwards? That can help with proper wrist ergonomics.

    Thanks for this set of wonderful tips. I am doing these exercises each day. One question do you have any thoughts about thumb movement/stability/positioning during chord changes? I am trying keep my thumb under control but it difficult.

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  3 роки тому +2

      Depends on the chord honestly. I wrap it over the top something to mute strings and sometimes it's on the back of the guitar. Particularly for barre chords and power chords.

    Thanks Lauren!! I need these basics, or I'll never learn to play song that actually sounds like a song!!

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  3 роки тому +4

      It's all about the basics. When you learn a song it's just putting a bunch of those basics together like a puzzle piece
