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.

How To Navigate Inside The Community:
Lauren's Product Recommendations:
Guitars:
These are some guitars I have played over the years as well as some my students have absolutely loved.

I also highly recommend checking out Zager Guitars. They have some great EZ Play guitar which many of my students have raved about. The customer service is great too: https://bit.ly/3R8sW7W - This is a no return policy for outside of the US.
Guitar Accessories & Amps:
A couple of amp recommendations as well as recommendations on cables, tuners, capos and strings.

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.
