good job! I am practicing to improve on Universal Mind, but after goinf from 112 to 120 in one month I am now stuck, hopefully I will not keep losing motivation
@@domenicopellegrino2963 I actually passed 200 BPM on day 27, but it required me to correct my picking technique. I was holding the pick with my finger tips earlier but now I play with a closed fist with the pick slightly angled. It helped tremendously. :)
I prefer these videos that you put out - the sharing of perspectives with ways you can approach your instrument in a more disciplined way - that really inspire you to dissect your own playing and find what makes you tick. From there, *obsess* about it in every single way! Thanks for everything, and especially for all of your freebies over the years 👊🤘
I've been working on legato recently. I usually get inspired for a week or two and practice it, rarely make any progress and give up. I've got to the point where I've been working on it daily for the last 8 weeks and I'm seeing some real progress with it.
Hello Claus. I love how you directly speak about this hard but simple truth. I share your philosophy for about 2 years now and it was the Best and most efficient Time in my guitar playing. Currently im in the middle of tremolo training for about half year in a project called 'Black metal' and im moving forward every single Day. This is the most motivating aspect even if will take another x months to finally nail this one song. Love you, man.
100% right. I started doing this and the results are definitely showing. Not to mention many times you think you've mastered something but as you keep going you realize that theres little things within the piece that start to sound just a little better at a time then they did the day before
You my friend, get it. If you want to be a badass..listen to this guy. I love that you teach people how to play AND think. The only thing holding us back in life is OUR WAY OF THINKING. I. LOVE. THIS. GUY.
I've been playing for 3 weeks and I must say, this is definitely true. Even if practicing techniques feel boring, the amount of progress you make is definitely rewarding. My goal is to become an improvisor on guitar. And though practicing techniques at this level feel like a huge deal, I'm ready to take the pain to reach my goal.
this is a great idea. if you struggle at sections of songs, find the technics of each part and just repeat those. i learn songs faster when i just repeat sections over and over. it would be beneficial and fun also to do a mashup of sections of your favorite songs and practice till its second nature.
Yes I agree and am guilty of hitting plateaus cause yu have time to play what's intriguing and forget about the mastering of certain riffs ,chords ,etc.thus yu just don't roll Forward with progress, instead yu can only do it perfectly occasionally. This opens my eyes and is very nice to hear a guy clearly explain the problem.
Are there tabs for the licks you played in the beginning? Also, thank you for the lessons. I've been watching your videos for a long time, It's helped me out a lot.
The fire in my heart is rising again after hearing your speech please help to improve more.. Im in the stage of knowing the 5basic pentatonic And i can play them already in key of c backing track and i'm stack in it and i dont know what to do next to improve.
I would learn the C pentatonic (minor?) across the whole fretboard. Make sure you know which note is which. Which are the root notes? Which are the 5ths, the 7ths etc. Then just by shifting the whole pattern up or down the fretboard, you can now improvise a solo in any minor key you like.
I hate metronome.. Doing one string for 20 minutes at some bpm.. I just want to be better at Alternate This is very hard Feel like i cant do it I m stuck
Everyone is stuck because it seems to take forever. Go download the free course on alternate picking called INGENIUM. The link is right below most of the videos on this channel.
I like the comparison to footbal. And obviously you're really talking about football. (kick the ball with this or that side of your foot) but musically all I can say is that I will never match your abilities. But doesn't making music mean writing good songs rather than being a technical virtuoso?
However much you practice or train thing is if there is feeling in your playing, if you're actually saying something with your guitar. And I don't think this comes with practice. It just exists or not.
Build the skills so you can express yourself without thinking about the mechanics of playing at all. That's the purpose of practicing. Know your craft. Then make art. No craft no art.
@@guitarmastery I don't disagree, but I am just talking about players like bb King, to whom your idea of practicing certainly doesn't apply, and whose feeling in playing the guitar was just a gift from nature. Now take a player who can play with the speed of light and shred all night long, and then take bb king's vibrato. I surely know who/what I prefer.
Love you Claus. You do speak a truth many don't want to hear. However there is usually a reward after listening to your life-coaching, and it didn't happen here. I just freely spent 11 mins watching an advertisement. I'm already inspired and practice at a project level. I watch the videos for something to add to my project. I did not need 11 mins of encouragement for something I already do, but I sit through these for some exercise or tidbit that aligns with the video title. Is there some way you can possibly indicate in the title so we don't waste our time... It may not be valuable to you or anyone else on these comments, but 11 mins of my life is extremely valuable and I want to be able to click on your videos with confidence.
I am convinced that there is no better guitar teacher on the planet than you. Thanks for the non-stop knowledge and inspiration.
Remember what he said though, don't let your inspiration guide you alone, make the main driver of force discipline and intelligent planning.

100% true.
Currently practicing a difficult challenge that I could barely play at 100 bpm at the start. Three weeks later I'm at 160 bpm.

Thanks for your advices, it really motivate me to practice more strategically when I watch your videos !
The videos you’ve been posting lately have really been resonating with what I’ve been struggling with. I enjoy your no nonsense attitude.

This is great and exactly what I needed atm. Thank you

You are the best teacher on youtube. My alterlnate picking imroved very much since i see your videos.

You are so darn inspirational!
U always inspire me to try harder
Thx, Claus. I learn from you the most
That's actually great advice and very true
These videos always make me pick up my guitar

Sounds like muscle memory. Makes sense.
Thanks bunches for your time and insite.!
Claus, you are the best. That is all.

Great Advice, thanks allot!
I started at 10 BPM and after two weeks of training I finished at 100 BPM. This method is a complete miracle :-)
youre fucking good bro
You're not just a gutair teacher you're a real teacher you understand the mind super cool you help me so much thanks !!!
Wow man this is such awesome video I love it.😃👍
Fuck. Realised he makes so good points that remind me of me. Shit. Not much guitar playing in this but still very interesting.
The one and only way to get to the next level
This is completely true.
Are there tabs for the licks you played in the beginning? Also, thank you for the lessons. I've been watching your videos for a long time, It's helped me out a lot.
Yeah, this guy makes yoda look like an idiot!! By far the best teacher on TH-cam!!
The fire in my heart is rising again after hearing your speech please help to improve more..

Actually this is very little to do with alternate picking per se and everything to do with the difference between playing around and discipline
I hate metronome..
Doing one string for 20 minutes at some bpm..
I just want to be better at Alternate
This is very hard
Feel like i cant do it
I m stuck

Almost like he's talking solely about technique here but might be just me man idk
So that's why I could never progress.
I really just wanted to have fun without all the work.
Thank you sir.very fine.good teaching.i am from kerala.
Exelente 👍🙏🤝

Kicking the football is a penalty, but it's not a penalty to kick a soccer ball 🤣
the only way to stop this guy is pause the video
I spent 3 hrs today just on accenting..
ok...i´ve got to admit it...I´m starting to feel pretty bad for the amount of advice I´m getting from this guy and for free...
