This video is the first guitar lesson for absolute beginners. Even if you've been popping around YouTube for a while, you might find some helpful tips in this video. Most first guitar lessons on YouTube start you too far along in the process. The goal of your first guitar lesson is to build confidence and give you a solid foundation.
That's why in my first guitar lessons for absolute beginners I show you exactly what I teach most of my students in their first guitar lessons with me. 1. How to navigate the strings 2. How to navigate the frets 3. How to builds chords and 4. How to put them together and strum them to start learning songs.
You will be learning about the left hand, the right hand, chords, strumming and so much more.
After my first guitar lesson for absolute beginners, you will have the tools needed to learn hundreds of songs. Some of those songs can be found on my website at: www.laurenbateman.com/beginner-guitar-songs
But here is a list of a few of the songs you can learn with my special beginner guitar chords:
Bryan, Luke - Drink A Beer
Chapman, Tracy - Talking About A Revolution
Clapton, Eric - Wonderful Tonight
Cranberries, The - Zombie
Lynard Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See
Osborne, Joan - What If God Was One Of Us
Pink - A Million Dreams
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
Rucker, Darius - Wagon Wheel
Sheeran, Ed - Perfect

As a 76 year old, I finally have dug in and started enjoying learning guitar. Your kind and gentle approach makes it so easy to stay motivated, and I'm sure the little bits of progress I am making are providing a solid foundation for continued improvement. This makes learning fun! Well done and thank you.

Lauren I am 63 and taking up guitar for the first time. With a plethora of "experts" on Youtube and having gone through a ton of them, you are by far THE BEST! Your style, your speed with us, your patience, your repetition and your attitude are over and above everyone else. Just sayin! Keep it up and I think by Christmas if I can get over finger tip pain, I may just get the hang of it. Thank you!

Lauren Bateman is far and away the most thorough, patient and sincere professor of guitar I have as yet encountered. Thank you so much for your selfless effort and exceptional attitude. Please continue in good health. Michigan USA.

New beginner at age 70. Your exercises are helpful. Find I have to go slower with spider exercise and picking. All so new and enjoying it. I practice about half hour a day. Sometimes a bit less. Hardest part for me is getting fingers into position and will stick with it. You are easy to understand and patient.

Hi Lauren. I tried to begin playing guitar a couple years ago but then hurt my left hand and gave up. Since I recently found your channel, I am back at it . Thank you for simplifying things for us older guys who just want to make some music in spite of our wear and tear. Keep up your excellent work. God bless, Chris.

Playing the guitar has been always a goal of mine. I had tried to look into tutorials on YT for a while but have always founds myself getting frustrated right away. Your method and way of teaching is absolutely helpful and I’m so glad I found you. Thank you.

I've been playing guitar/bass for quite a while but I just bought my sister a guitar and I've been looking for digestible, easy-to-follow, beginner demo's. This is by far the most patient and simplistic I've come across, excellent for 1st timers! 👌
