Claus, your videos have have inspired me beyond words. I suddenly see the thing I've wanted my entire life as a possibility instead of a dream I don't have the talent for. I have improved more in the past 2 months than ever before. Thank you. You are an amazing teacher.
I just want to thank you for putting these excellent lessons! Literally every time I am in a rut and watch one of your videos I am motivated to pick up my axe again..all those mindset lessons are a perfect stepping stone into the world of selfsufficient guitar progress..thank you!
Really glad I saw someone suggest your channel; so far it seems like you've got some great insight into guitar as well as life! Impressed new subscriber! :)
You know what inspires me? You do! your persona on video is very exiting. you're very animated, and for me that's a good thing. now then, this is an area I need work on. my left hand isn't as fast as my right. I can play in sink, but depending on the sequences, top speeds change. good stuff.
Claus thank you, once again you adress a topic that is most relevant to me now... and you have done that before. I don't know how you do it, but please continue to do so haha. Thanks for the great content, and what a lovely guitar by the way
This is so true. With everyday 3-4 hours practice, it took me almost six months to play the second-half of the 'Hail to The King' solo on acoustic up to speed. You need to keep repeating it while doing it correctly until you're sick of it and then you do it again.
I can practice for a hour and increase my speed like crazy, to the point where most people would call it "shred," then the next day, when I start, it's like I'm starting all over again and it takes my entire practice session to get back where I left off. Apparently there is supposed to be some point where this "two steps forward, two steps back" doesn't happen any more. After 25+ years of playing, I haven't found it yet. lol
Listening to Audiobooks with your headphones on as you play the boring mode shapes over, and over, and over... then realizing that after four or five books you have less than fifty hours. It takes 10,000.
Now that I've finished your Cequentia bundle once (simplest of ways), using about 1-2hrs (almost) every evening past four weeks while watching Netflix, I've got some really substantial results. It's nice to see and experience how the things you speak about, actually transforms to real life results.
Thank you for this! Any suggestions for Right hand development? My problem is reverse. May be do a video on that? Not sure if you have already covered it \m/
I remember thinking that I needed to move my right hand faster to play fast. When I found out I hsd to make smaller more accurate movements. I was so relieved. Ha ! Ha !
the toughest part is I can make big leaps and then plateau and it is hard to keep working past that plateau. Then I try to increase too quickly. One riff I have been working on for a year. I doubled my speed in about 3 weeks. From there I only increased about 10% over the next 5 months and probably only 5% more in the next 6 months.
Try to increase the speed a bit like 10-20 bpm and manage to do one single repetition, rest, do it again and so on. That's what helped me with my palm muting, I couldn't go over 90% of the song tempo and then I started trying to achieve to go 100% even only doing one perfect take it made by 90% speed to start increase. I'm now on 97% and doing 102% as speed bump/burst. Probably your body needs a new stimulus that's where the speed bump kicks in, it will force your body to adapt. Keep doing the slower tempo as well to make it clean.
It would take you roughly 30 years to play one lick 100 times per day to get to one million times. If you start at 25 years old you would be 55 by the time you reached your goal. I think I'll opt for playing slower with a million times more feeling.
I don't come here for guitar.. I come here for life lessons and motivation !
yeahh,,he did it well,,

In about ten seconds, you made more sense about this topic than I've heard in hours of other tutorials. Thank you so much!
I always come back here for him to remember me I need to practice
In case you're wondering, this is fact - I proved it to myself 2 years ago. It works.
I just want to thank you for putting these excellent lessons!

You rock, Claus

I watched so many videos from this guy and all he says in the free videos is “do it a million times” wow.. thanks for the help. Truly wise words
Great as usual... Can't wait for the next video on this subject... .
You are massively honest and helpful. Thanks for inspiration.
Claus Levin- Truth Teller Extraordinaire!!! Hooray for teachers like you man!

Any tips that helped?

Passionnant je progresse à la guitare et mon anglais en fait autant great !

Claus, tell us the pickups in that fine Strat!!?? The tone is grandiose!!
TheShredfester I have the same question.
I believe they are Seymour Duncan SHR-1n humbuckers.

i like this guys videos
make video on how to make new solos like sir steve Vai stuff it would be helpful 😅😅😅
I have two of Claus' courses and they are excellent!
Your channel is cool shit, mate!
Hell yeah
What guitar stand do you?
Nice 🤘🎸
what was your Fender again?
it sound good / better than most Fender there is...
@ 100 BPM on a 4 note run, it would take 6 hours to complete 10k reps and 641 hours to complete 1M reps. :( ... I feel defeated.
do you guys know of any great backing tracks?
Oddly enough the record for consecutive foul shots is 5221 in just over 7 hours. He quit because he got tired....
Do you count notes or triplets?
Is this the love child of Elon Musk and Leo from Frog Leap Studios?
If Arnold and brad Pitt fused into one you get this guy! 😂 great vid btw 🤙🏼
Arnold, Brad, and Yngwie.
Lewis Fletcher Arnold Brad Yngwie Elon
anyone else seeing a resemblance to Brad Pitt?
Vaguely
so , youre saying Elon Musk looks like Brad Pit
If it was possible for Elon Musk and Brad Pitt to have a baby together, it could look like this dude when he's grown up... 😉
More like the love child of Brad Pitt and Arnold Schwarzenegger. GET TO THE CHOPPA!
100 baby!! 😁

realise that the more you practice, the faster you can play, and the faster you can do your repetitions. Exponential growth curve
30reps a min=1800hr takes 555hrs to reach a million reps
You are right, even just playing 1 note per sec would cut that to 275 hrs. 2 notes per sec to 135hr for a million reps
Claus, we play basketball on the "court" not the "playing field" LOL
I thought basketball was a yugio card
I play lefty lol

Rick Williamson what’s up bro? 😂
