Welcome To The Fellowship! 

The Fellowship of the Strings was officially founded in 2020 when Lauren Bateman decided to create a unique community for her students to bond and learn in a positive and encouraging environment during the pandemic. In 2021, students fondly named the group The Fellowship of the Strings. Below, you will find resources to help you along your journey.

If you ever need help with your membership or your courses, you can always email the support team at [email protected]

Guitar Books:

Everyone keeps asking me if they can get copies of my amazing chord charts. I have already discussed book options with my team but until then, I have put together a list of great books I have used with students over the years. I highly recommend the Hal Leonard Campfire Songbook as I have YouTube lessons for many of the songs in that book. You can easily write my strumming recommendations into the book.
