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!
What's Included
70+ video lessons
Using terms that are easy to understand, I’ll only introduce music theory concepts when you need them. And you can stop and go back or replay the video as many times as you want.

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!
I FELT LIKE I WAS FLOUNDERING AND READY TO QUIT UNTIL I FOUND LAUREN'S VIDEOS
I’m a late learner. I had a gifted guitar lying around for 20 years that I never touched. In Nov of 2020, I went online and tried to learn a bit through various videos. I even signed up to learn with a different online guitar course. I felt like I was really floundering and ready to quit until I found Lauren’s videos. I took an introductory course and learned more in that than I had in the 3 months I was in the other program. I canceled my prior plan and signed up for anything Lauren had! Her way of teaching is so organized and easy to understand. Every lesson logically leads to the next. And Lauren is just so genuine and reachable.
Her 7 Level guitar system is the place where you learn all the foundations. Then she offers many other courses to take your playing to the next level. What also made the difference for me was the online community and support offered there. I have learned a lot from their tips and advice and made lifelong friends. If you’re looking for an awesome teacher and tons of support and inspiration, this is the course to join!

8 Ways To Know If You’re Ready To Make Significant Progress With Guitar...

You’re just getting started. As an absolute beginner, you might not even be confident that you’re holding your guitar properly. Don’t worry, I’ll show you everything you need to know.
#2
You’ve tried learning the guitar for months (or even years), but haven’t had much success and are about to give up on your dream. I believe everybody has the ability to play the guitar in their own special and unique way. You, too!
#3
You care about setting a solid foundation for your guitar practice that you can build upon. When you’ve mastered the fundamentals, you’ll be able to tackle more advanced techniques with ease.
#4
You’re willing to put in at least 15 minutes 3-5 times a week to learn and play. Because you know that every bit of energy you invest is a strategic and meaningful step forward. And it will be!
#5
You’re already investing time and energy practicing the guitar, but without a clear plan to follow, you haven’t seen much progress. I’ll set you up with a proper routine and goals to ensure that you steadily improve.
#6
You’re excited about a fun, easy way to learn chords, strumming, and picking on your guitar. I’ll show you the simplest possible way to learn the fundamentals of the guitar. And easier versions of tricky bar chords.
#7
You’ve had a bad experience with a teacher. Maybe they were too impatient, had no structure, or insisted you spend hours learning music theory. My focus is on you having fun playing your guitar as soon as possible.
#8
You feel confident getting the course because you know you have 30 days to test out my system. If you’ve worked through the intro classes and first level, and STILL don’t see any progress with your guitar, I will give you your money back.
If you caught yourself nodding your head to at least 4 of the 8 points above, then I absolutely can't wait to meet you inside the 7 Level Guitar System.
I tried some other courses but they were too complicated.
I started playing just about three years ago when I turned 60. I had no musical experience at all. I looked around online and I found Lauren's website. I tried some other ones but they were a bit too complicated. Lauren's was perfect because it was like a second-grade teacher. She broke it down and the 7-Level course is what got me to where I am now. I owe her a lot of thanks because it's exactly what I needed. She broke it down, made it simple and I'm really enjoying this journey. The more I less, the less I know, but I’m still having fun!

What our students are saying
I had previously taken another online (beginner) course and it made big jumps in the learning curve, which was frustrating.
The 7 Level course met all of my expectations. It followed a very doable pace & kept my interest going. I committed myself to practice 1-2 hrs per day & had a goal of getting through the course in 3 months. Even though I have completed the course I am far from being proficient in all areas but will continue to practice & go over the basics.
It has given me a base to go further than I have before. Sometimes I think I have not progressed but my husband seems impressed by some of my playing. I had previously taken another online (beginner) course and it made big jumps in the learning curve, which was frustrating. And there was nowhere to ask questions and get answers.
This step-by-step approach and all of the support you offer is invaluable. I would feel confident recommending this course to anyone who would like to further their guitar-playing skills.
– Peggy Little
The Community is very encouraging and makes sure you do not ever feel alone or isolated.
Lauren's personality and teaching style is very comfortable. She makes you feel like she is sitting in person with you; talking you through the lessons in a very easily understandable and friendly manner. The lessons are very easy to follow. It is set up to allow you to go at your own pace; which is much better than the in-person lessons. This self-paced approach is a very good way to give someone all the time they need to learn the concepts being explained.
The Fellowship of the Strings Community is also a brilliant means to not let the people be left in a learning isolation. Many would give up when they face their "embrace the suck moments" without our Community's constant presence and support. The Community is very encouraging and makes sure you do not ever feel alone or isolated, plus you get to meet a lot of other great guitar enthusiasts. The monthly Q&A, "Lauren pop-ups", newsletter, Song Circles, emails on songs, etc. provide additional learning opportunities beyond the basic 7 Level Course. I am so very glad I found Lauren!!!

The investment you’ll make is nothing compared to what you get out of it.
If you're thinking about joining the 7 Level program, I would say go for it. Coming from someone who knew absolutely nothing about playing a guitar, at age 62, I decided to do it. And it was the best investment ever. I'm amazed at what I did not know. I didn't even know what a chord was. And a year and a half later, I can play songs. I know what chords are. I'm learning about hammer-ons and things that like.
The investment you’ll make is nothing compared to what you get out of it. I highly recommend it!
– Sandra Sexton
It’s only been three months but my strumming and chord changes are very much improved.
When I turned 60, I wanted to take guitar lessons. I signed up for classes at a well-known music store. Four instructors, two music schools and two years later, I didn’t feel I had learned much. I decided to try to learn on my own with YouTube. I came across some videos by Lauren Bateman. After watching a few videos and seeing what I liked, I signed up for Lauren’s online classes. She is a great instructor, very patient and very concise. It’s only been three months but my strumming and chord changes are very much improved.
