I dunno why you don't have way more subscribers than you do. I started playing a month ago after a decade of being away from guitar and your videos along with other sources have served as a constant inspiration for me. Thank you.
I appreciate you soo much Claus.. I guess I did this sub consciously on other fields.. and did this in the beginning of my guitar journey... but because of self doubt, I never allowed myself to tap into that since then.. Thanks for helping me stay conscious.
Claus, I've been going through your Ingenium course, bringing each exercise to mastery before moving on, and I'm really liking it. The first exercise alone has already made picking simple licks sound so much more in time and consistent, not to mention that my right hand has fully lost it's carpel-tunnel pain, or the new found ability to play triplets!! However I've been stuck on exercise 2 for a while. Focusing on the accent is alright, as is hitting the 15th fret on the b-string at the start of each triplet, the problem is that I've always found moving down the neck harder than moving up the neck because taking the finger off the string at the right time also comes into play. The accented 15th fret with my 4th finger is alright, but when moving down to the 13th and 12th on the non-accented parts my hands sometimes aren't in sync and I often cut them off or play them as dead notes rather than being able to ring them out. If you have already made a video addressing this I'd love it if you could point it out to me because I haven't found it, otherwise do you think you could address the reasoning and solution to it in a future video? Really looking forward to moving onto lesson 3 though.
Welcome back.. we all missed ya.. ;) I have to say, this is one of your best pep-talks yet. I used to work out at the gym, and that push, I remember. I never thought about applying that (consciously) to practice. I'll find I get to that 'okay I'm tired', put it down, take a break.. But, when I push, like practicing with a metronome that will increase BPM thru each loop (speed train), I can push that speed limit until it all just falls apart, then I know I got to that barrier, and pushed thru.. Did this for one week, and I was able to increase that speed. I went from 100bpm to 170bpm; just on one 8 bar sequence; 16th notes; over and over.. increased speed by 1%, didn't take long. I like the weight training insight.. Thank you.
I often think your metaphors are cheesy but I think you hit this one on the nose and can relate to every aspect. Ive been grinding since Chris Cornells passing so just turned 2 years and the results are really starting to show.. Great lesson man...
Great videos 👍 this is one of those rare channels . This guy tells it how it is. Gotta spend 10s of hours just running basic stuff and eventually that basic stuff sound amazing
Thanks as always claus. I often wonder how successful your students are. Would love to see some of them play. It would be exciting to see people that put every piece of advice and guidance you give.
Hey maybe I'm a moron, but I looked up legato. At the end of the first paragraph on Wikipedia they use a word ; rearticulate. Never heard this word used in the context of music. Can anyone answer, for sure, is this a thing or a mistake? Thanks
I follow all your thoughts when it comes of practicing. I’ve been improving a lot like 50% of my alternate picking. But why is it everytime i do fast alternate picking run i just stop everytime i make a mistake. I know you have video before that teaching how to avoid those habbit but it seems like it’s so difficult for me. Anyway, you are the best teacher in youtube so far. Greeting’s from Nordborg ALS. 🤘🤘🤘
Rock on.... Practice playing a whole bunch of different notes on one string and using your alternate picking like a metronome for your fingers the faster you alternate pick hit the notes at the same speed but cleanly and after a while you will be able to just blend this into every string without ever having the stop your mistakes will actually sound cool sometimes.
Mohammed Ali once said "I don't count the sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting because they're the only ones that count. That's what makes you a champion."
Great advices Claus!!👍🏼👍🏼 BUT: I’m wearing the selfput “guitar-sucker idiot crown” on my head😂😂😂 (with some pride, I have to say… it's not given to everyone to be such an idiot on guitar like ME!!🤣☺️)
I've never seen such a valuable guitar lesson that contained no playing! Subscribed!
Every video you upload always inspries me to play and better myself. I am at work and I want to leave and just pick up my guitar and play.
Your philosophy has actually helped me improve on the electric soo much, cheers dude.
very inspiring, you light the path of my guitar playing journey ! a huge thanks...
This is the only channel that hits the root of the guitar players mind! The psychology is always on point! Thank you!

Hey Claus, I'm trying to access the free course, created an account, but it still says it's locked. is there something that I'm not doing?
I think I got it, Claus, had to use the email link instead of the actual course page links.

You should be the next James Bond Villain. With the whole guitar shtick and everything.
That would be awesome 😂😂😂

best analogies
And does👉 TIMING also have to do with musical 🎵 phrasing skills etc ??? 😨
Just hit the notification bell :)
Just watched a similar video to this by Tom Quayle, the common themes are intensity and obsession
Great advices Claus!!👍🏼👍🏼

You to us is more guitar psychiatrist much like what sports teams employ...we get mental tips and inspiration do take the next step:)
This is not a guitar channel..........its a self help one
Amazing
Very enthusiastic and inspiring but is there any science behind this?
Do you even read anything
@@armandpelagius1768 Mostly Audio books.
I'd like to see Claus demonstrate a little more conviction in his beliefs.
I don't understand 🤭🤭🤭
What is the thing that you don't understand
