5 False Beliefs Keeping You From Enjoying Guitar
Focusing on these essential elements as a beginner has produced the fastest results for my students
You’ll be able to:
- Change chords quicker and smoother, so your guitar playing sounds more musical.
- Move your fingers more nimbly, which makes playing easier and more effortless.

So Who Am I & Why Should You Choose Me To Teach You Guitar?
Hi, I’m Lauren Bateman! You and I have a lot in common…
We’re both passionate about music. We both always wanted to learn the guitar (it’s such a fun instrument!). And we both don’t have a formal music education (mine was in Biology and Archaeology actually). After 10 years of dabbling in the guitar, I decided to take real lessons so that I could actually get good. And I did!!
While I may own and operate three music schools and have taught thousands of students to play guitar over the years… I still remember very well what it was like to struggle through every practice session, the trial and error of randomly jumping from parts of one song to the next. And the frustration of not knowing what lesson I should study next while feeling like I should be a lot further along.
That’s why I teach the guitar in a non-traditional style. I don’t start with boring music theory or terminology. No need for mumbo jumbo that you don’t understand or need. Instead, I focus on the fundamentals – these are the skills you need to have fun with your guitar as soon as possible…so you can start impressing your family nd friends with your tunes! And my students seem to agree with my approach…

That's Why I Created The 7-Level Guitar System
After a decade of studying what worked and what didn’t for my students, I developed a simple step-by-step system that focuses on the absolute of guitar.
You’ll learn how to play the guitar even if you’ve never touched an instrument before.
This system provides a solid foundation that you can build upon endlessly to level up your guitar skills. The program is structured into 7 levels that teach what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it.
Each level builds upon the skills you’ve mastered in the last one, so you don’t have to worry about what’s coming next. Once you complete in one level and achieved those goals, you graduate to the next.
It’s a simple, straightforward plan.
There’s no skipping around or learning things in the wrong order, which leaves you frustrated, trying to figure out things that are too hard for you.
With the 7-Level Guitar System, you’ll never feel overwhelmed or like you’re in over your head. You’ll progress steadily, accomplishing goals at each level, giving you the confidence and motivation to continue.
The system is completely self-paced, so you can practice at your own speed on your schedule. There’s no pressure, but you also won’t get bored, I promise!

Chord & Chord Changes
Chords are the very foundation for playing along to songs and sounding good on your guitar. From the Em & G chords all the way to 12 Bar Blues, you’ll master them all step by step. And instead of fumbling between muted chords and not sounding musical, you’ll be able to switch between chords faster and play much clearer. Your chord changes will be smoother, better sounding, and easier than ever before.
Finger Dexterity & Picking
In the beginning, it can feel like your fingers just don’t want to move or seem to have a mind of their own. We’ll develop your muscle memory with easy Pick Control and Spider Exercises. Over time, your hands will become faster and more nimble. You’ll notice that you can move around your guitar with more control and change chords faster.
Rhythm & Strumming
Eventually, you don’t want to play the same one or two strumming patterns over and over again that are out of sync with your music. You’ll learn simple strumming patterns that sound great and improve your rhythm. With the basics covered, you can apply fun strumming patterns to any songs you learn to sound more like a guitar player.
You’ll learn all of these wonderful things PLUS much more inside of the 7-Level Guitar System!

What our students are saying
“Overall Lauren’s teaching style is by far the best I’ve found for beginner lefty of righty!”
As a left-handed player I had some apprehensions about learning from a right - handed player. After watching a few of Lauren's instructional videos I became aware that left or right makes no difference rather the distinction is the fretting hand and the strumming hand. The chord charts are also easy to follow since your fingers are numbered the same no matter left or right.
- Lisa Ahlquist
“I started the course about four months ago and cannot get over how far I have come.”
I’ve wanted to learn guitar since I was a teenager, but I never believed I had the talent or the coordination to do it. Now 61, I thought it couldn’t hurt to at least try, so I purchased an inexpensive guitar and started looking at YouTube videos. Many were too fast-paced for me to follow or didn’t show me how to form the chords being played.
Happily, I came upon a video by Lauren Bateman. The course is beautifully organized and designed to take you, at your own pace, from absolute beginner to intermediate player.
Everything from choosing a guitar and pick to working in a logical progression to create chords, strum, and pick is laid out in a clear format with ample support, encouragement, and recognition of the difficulties faced at each stage as you develop strength, dexterity, stamina, and self-confidence.
- Daryl Holmes
“After trying roughly 20 to 25 courses I found yours.”
- Dennis Baus
“You take everything step by step and that's just what I need.”
Hi Lauren, I just wanted to take a minute to say Thank You. In the short time I have been in your course I have learned more than all the time I spent in the other course I tried. I was enrolled in _ _ for about a year, but their teaching method just didn't resonate with me. I ended after a year in about the same spot I began. Struggling, no increased speed, no smooth chord changes, so it got real boring, real fast. You take everything step by step and that's just what I need. What a difference!! You'r an awesome teacher!! Thanks again!
- Dave Chinn
“I can say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
I’m a 53 year old lawyer with three teenagers. I have no music background and no “natural talent”, but I love music. I look forward to my weekly lessons because it’s a total change from the rest of my life. After a year, I’m playing the Stones, Eagles and Buffet with enough skill to earn compliments from my wife and kids, difficult critics to say the least.
- George M.
“Lauren can help you turn that dream into reality.”
Most importantly, I love HOW Lauren teaches. The knowledge she so expertly shares combined with her down-to-earth, conversational style takes any guitar-related topic and puts the student in a learning comfort zone. This is serious, results-oriented learning…but it also puts a smile on your face as you're learning.
– Carolyn Z.
