  3. I LOVE John Denver and this was one of his best! All I need now is a capo and I can play this, so until I get one I can still practice playing the regular open chords. Great lesson Lauren, it is thrilling to learn these songs I grew up with and still popular today; you make it so easy to learn! TWO THUMBS UP God bless! (BTW even w a cold your voice sounds great!)

  7. Hi Lauren! I'm a member and am enjoying myself completely! One suggestion. I may be alone on this but when you're teaching these beginner songs and their related strumming patterns, I would find it helpful if, before you begin singing, you would demonstrate the strumming pattern a time or two without the vocals. Once you begin singing I find it difficult to "listen through you" to pick up the strumming pattern. Maybe it's a "me problem" but I'd find that change very helpful. Thanks for listening!

  11. I love John Denver, Lauren. Taught myself to play chords on an inexpensive guitar, then bought a Takamine acoustic in 1975. One of my first song books was John Denver and I still have it and my Takamine. Love this, Country Roads, Annie’s Song and Grandma’s Feather Bed (never released a single, but so much fun)!

  13. Congrats on your success 😃.I got a little mixed up hoping to see you do Rocky mountain way by Joe Walsh. Now that would be a something I would be interested in seeing. But great lesson. You are developing your teaching skills to perfection. Nice to see you singing to your lessons 😊

  14. I really like your videos. Even if the song isn't on my list, your energy and style make them worth watching. One thing I wonder is how it's accepted to change the names of the notes when using a capo. The chord shape is what you say, but it's different from the actual notes and chords.
