    I've watched you become a better guitar player, Claus. It's fun to watch someone that was already an excellent guitar player become even better. It's a reminder that practice makes perfect.

    This might be the single biggest issue I've had in the nearly 40 years of playing guitar. Going to practice this today. This video opened my eyes to why I have such an issue with my picking accuracy. Brilliant.

      Agreed Joe- 30 years of playing and i still struggle with synchronizing. Frustrating

    • @JosephChavez
      @JosephChavez 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@andrewkratz226 Exactly. I keep playing that ascending triplet/sextet run from "Spanish Fly" and my hand starts cramping up and my picking hand just goes wild. Not just on that lick, but now I understand it's all about synchronizing.

  • @robertcarey3383
    @robertcarey3383 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Once I saw an interview by Phil X and they asked him what he practiced, and his reply was getting his left hand to talk to his right hand. At the end of the day that's all there is. These videos are a great help in trying to achieve that.

    Nicely put, thank you. "You can fire off” … Exactly. One may consider burst mode, as with a firearm 3-rounds with each trigger pull; to the fretboard, you can choose any number of notes to fire off, 3-note triplets, sextuplets or odd number groupings.

    Seeing the first minute of this video, I thought that this would be nothing new, because I've seen videos and courses about this before. I haven't really thought about the difference between tremolo picking and alternate picking, and the little reminder of accenting notes did it for me. It will make things easier!

    Yes I would say synchronization of pick and fret hands are necessary for control and fluidity. I believe legato traing of the frethand is just as important as picking technique. I also believe that you can only play as fast as your brain can create melodic sequence and phrases so your soloing sounds intelligent and not just a blister of notes. I have learned to pay more attention to hand synchronization and creating melodic phrases rather than see how fast my hands can move!!

    "Take a big marker, and write 'control' across your wall." xD xD
    Damn I am loving your vibe. I am a young woman who used to have major control issues that manifested in the form of an eating disorder. It was quite harmful to my body, so of course the primary goal was to heal that. But in healing and developing a healthier relationship with my body and mental health, I sort of disowned the parts of myself that really enjoyed being so in control. I embraced a much more flexible and soft way of being, that is more stereotypically feminine I guess. I silenced the "fighter" in me in a lot of ways, and when you started throwing punches in a guitar lesson, at first I laughed but then I got super into it. I have a massive capacity for control (barely eating and working out for hours is pretty difficult), but I was never encouraged to harness that ability and direct it towards something healthy and beautiful. I think the people around me a) viewed it as just an aspect of my mental health problems and b) felt insecure that I had stronger will power than they did. I am really excited about this. I am excited about someone describing intense control as something positive. It helps me appreciate that part of my personality and not see it as something inherently "disordered". I am in a much better place with my physical and mental health now, and I feel ready to reintegrate this lost part of myself. I just started learning guitar a couple months ago for the sheer purpose of making music. I never expected all of the other benefits it would bring to my life. Thank you :)

  • @lone-wolf-1
    @lone-wolf-1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I primarily wanted, as an old fart beginner, to just be able to play some slow but nice notes and some chords (just for me, no audience). And as I like a slow blues a lot and having stiff short ol‘ fingers, this mindset as a musically "untalented" person helped me to even start learning playing guitar on my own and to not easily give up.
    But later I imposed myself to learn to play fast and even very fast. Even though I don't want to use it constantly, despite the horrible sound when I attempt it….🤪😅
    Why?
    There are two benefits for me:
    If the coordination of both hands have learned to work fast and therefore also more precise , I get a lot of "time" to build in some refinement and feeling in my slow played notes and sequences!
    And second benefit: I'll get more precise with my timing for each slow note. (I have BIG problems with timing! )
    Those subtile things make a HUGE difference, if I sound just ok'ish or pretty much spot on and can communicate feel !
    But to achieve that goal I need to practice more…😊
    Just my 2 (Euro)cents….
    Thank you Claus, for your lessons and motivation!!👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼

    I did a million iterations of the 3 note per string over a month and now it is indeed way easier. Now I'm insanely skilled compared to what I was. I found I am disproportionately good at one position and string compared to other players though and I lack the ability to move my left hand from one place on the fretboard to another freely and now I'm putting work into normalizing position shifting and string shifting and then I hope I will have more time to think what I want to play.

    This is a psychological concept called chaining. That is where muscles trigger other muscles while by passing the brain processing. It is the base of what we call muscle memory. The brain can interfere if you think about a chain of events in the middle. In martial arts it is called too many minds. To be honest though shredding is boring. Clapton and Hendrix never really shredded. It is like the difference between Neil Pert and Ringo Starr. Pert is an instrumentalist and Ringo is an artist.

  • @siggyretburns7523
    @siggyretburns7523 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I figured just plan out alt pix and sweeps to minimize jumping over strings before you even start practicing. Cuz even then you might decide to change the pattern (same note, different fret/string) to accommodate a more comfortable pick sequence. If it sounds good and is easier than other ways, practice it that way. But only that way.
    I found that trying other patterns after youve already practiced it one way totally sets you back. It throws the picking all off.
    Establish how youre going to play the lick 1st, and only practice it that way. Practicing 2 ways without getting good at it 1 way only doubles your waste of time.
    At least thats how I do it, now..

    @rexxengineering8333 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Claus: Great video. I do see and have realized the benefits of using accents when practicing fast alternate picking. I also know you have talked about how important it is to control picking depth. When going fast, it's necessary to pick shallow. I try to feel like I am only barely grazing the string, picking only the thickness of the string itself, though I'm not sure that's even possible. But in any case, it needs to be consistent depth. Every pick stroke, whether up or down, needs to be the same shallow depth. How does one learn this??? Try to pick shallow and hope the brain figures it out? It doesn't seem to be working for me. When practicing, I can see the relationship between shallow picking depth and speed. But I can't get consistent depth. I miss some notes completely (I actually miss the string). Other times, I accidentally pick too deep and the pick gets caught. My playing almost sounds worse when I pick this way than when I pick deeper (though I realize this is slowing me down). What is the practice formula to get consistent shallow picking depth? Does practicing at slower tempos and only focus on depth help? In general, it doesn't seem that practicing slowly ever helps one develop speed. Perhaps this is an exception to that principle?

    • @guitarmastery
      @guitarmastery  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      "Does practicing at slower tempos and only focus on depth help?" It doesn't help, it is the only way! Practice this with total focus and a metronome 30 minutes a day and then spend hours in front of the TV or TH-cam picking accurately with small movements.
