Discover the Rock-Solid Basics of Rhythm &
Strumming So You Won’t Suffer from the
“Guitar Starts & Stops”, Each Time You Try to Play a Song
Jay Quigley
“My strumming has dramatically improved. The chords are much smoother and sound much more musical. My timing has improved and I have a lot more strumming patterns in the arsenal. I now have the confidence to play in front of others. I would highly recommend Lauren's Expressive Rhythm & Strumming Course.”
It’s One Thing to Learn Some Basic Chords… It’s
Another Thing Entirely to Play “In Time” With Strumming Patterns That Sound Good
Dear Fellow Guitar Enthusiast,
Picture this…
Your family spends the weekend camping, and you have the time of your life, providing some fun campfire entertainment with your guitar and a family sing-a-long.
“Wow, grandma! You really CAN play the guitar!”
How much fun will that be?
The problem is…
Without a solid sense of musical rhythm, your strumming falls apart.
The #1 question I get asked by students when they hear me play guitar is…
“Why does your guitar always sound better than mine?”
The simple truth is, it all begins with rhythm and strumming.
Unfortunately, many beginners get so frustrated by the challenge of conquering rhythm and strumming that they give up.
If only they’d stick with it a little more and apply my 3-step process…
They’d be playing with confidence and enjoying the fun of providing the campfire entertainment.
If you want to avoid the “guitar stutters” and play songs around the campfire so people can sing along… without confusing them or embarrassing yourself by having to stop and start over and over again…
Then you’ll want to grab your copy of the “Expressive Rhythm & Strumming” course I’m offering you on this page.
After 10+ years of teaching thousands of guitar students (online and in person), I’ve figured out how to shortcut the entire process for you.
That's exactly why I created Expressive Rhythm & Strumming...
Because I want to help you, within a relatively short time, learn to add real emotion to your guitar playing in a step-by-step manner.
I want you to feel good and impress others with your playing abilities with those annoying guitar starts and stops.
But most of all....
I want you to have fun with your guitar!
So if you finally want to learn the secrets behind what makes a rhythm guitar player sound OK versus great....
This is a program that will help you learn...
Percussive Rhythms
Learn how to make your guitar sound like a drum when you're playing alone and how to recreate those cool accented rhythms you here in rock and pop music alike.
Expressive Dynamics
How to change up the volume of your playing and how to play the same strumming pattern in multiple ways to change the feel or energy of the songs you're playing.
LOTS of Strumming Patterns
There will be no shortage of strumming patterns. It's the only way to develop real rhythmic freedom and get your strumming hand to have a mind of it's own.
Right now you're struggling with...
Playing the same strumming patterns over and over again for an entire song.
Maybe you're still a beginner and looking for ways to expand your playing beyond the basics.
Or perhaps you're someone who has been learning guitar for a few months or years but feel like you have hit a plateau and desperately want to hear your guitar truly sing.
Imagine If...
You could get more freedom in your strumming hand and feel good about your guitar playing.
When you strummed your guitar it actually sounded great.
You could play an entire song from beginning to end without thinking...and someone actually complimented you on your playing.
So...why am I sharing this right now?
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 finally decided to take some 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 feel like my guitar playing sounded horrible. Hearing friends playing their guitar and wondering why they sounded so much better than me even though we were playing the same thing. And the frustration of not knowing where to go 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 and the skills necessary to have fun with your guitar as soon as possible...so you can start impressing your family with your tunes.
And my students seem to agree with my approach…
Rick Baird
"This course taught me a lot about how to basically "get into" the songs I was playing. Instead of the normal strumming patterns I had learned, I was now improvising by using the lessons learned in the course. I was actually throwing strumming patterns into songs, without even thinking about it. If you're looking to spice up your playing, I highly recommend the Expressive Rhythm & Strumming. Thanks to Lauren Bateman and her team for providing older players a chance to learn and improve their guitar experience."
