- We all get impressed by the speed. The speed is not everything about your playing, but it kills... And the problem is that it also kills if you don't approach it in the proper way. The biggest mistake is to try playing fast too early. How to avoid it then? Watch my video and see how you can speed up scales!
Practice slowly... Practice slowly... Practice slowly...

This is so good of you. You are sparing those new students ,who follow your expert instructions, years of waisted energy and heartbreak.
Whatever one does repeatedly becomes a habit. Impatience , born of desire, is a very bad habit. It’s much better to suffer the mental pain of learning ,patiently, the proven ways to play clearly than to suffer the physical pain of years of playing with inadequate playing technique. Working hard but wrong ,will not help. It will trap you in a cage of bad habits.
You young people, who have a passion for this instrument, do not squander this opportunity to take Thu Le’s instruction.
You really are a precious gem Thu. I sincerely thank you.
Great playing. Love your music. - Mads - Bassist in CJFC.
Tuyệt vời quá cô ơi. Con chỉ mong trong 1 tương lai không xa, lại được thấy bộ ba Lê Thu- Hùng Phong-Tuấn Khang đứng trên cùng 1 sân khấu. Con nhớ ngày xưa hồi còn bé tý, được nghe cô chú biểu diễn Tình ca du mục trong show guitar bắc nam, đó là điều chưa từng phai mờ. Mong cô cùng gia đình giữ sức khỏe, an toàn giữa mùa dịch. Con hy vọng nếu cô có thời gian, cô có thể biểu diễn bài Đường chúng ta đi và Bài ca hy vọng chuyển soạn. Con cảm ơn cô nhiều
Very good lesson… i don’t discipline, sometimes i practice, sometimes i don’t,, but when i want to learn new score that i loves but faster than i could play, this video reminds me to back practice the basic 😂
And i can’t do strech as long as you.. some parts like in Bella Ciao with longer strech challenging me to practice harder..
Thank you Thu Le.. 🤗🤗🤗
Increasing the speed is a journey. Practice slowly, slowly. Thank you so much for this very helpful lesson.
I haven't been following you very ling on IG or here on YT...but every time my 4 year old daughter hears your guitar or your voice she comes running in to watch the video and says, "Hey that's my friend." It's adorable. Thanks for doing what you do
Another effective video by Thu Le inspires me to be patient and focus on being more mindful in executing guitar technique. Her valuable advice in starting slow is vital in making progress with scale playing. Only a slow approach will allow the mind to refine and articulate the precise attack that produces the needed efficiency for quick and accurate scale playing. Thu Le is a great player as well as a very effective teacher of this magnificent art form.
Thanks Michael!
Dear Thu Le, Every time I'm watching one of your 'lessons' videos (9th one now), I find myself grinning widely. I believe I am telling myself, "Ya, makes sense, I can do this" (In TIME) ...practice slowly...practice slowly... Thank you so much for your dedication to all of us! Ciao for now, have a great week. Linda
Very well, I understood, Thanks for the video, I will practice it. I love yours videos, I have learned a lot. Have a nice day.
Beautiful teaching.......... 💐🌺🙏🏻
I know in 2024, she might not look this commentary but has an amazing technique to reach a really good tempo and clean sound. I play flamenco, but I love this; I take this as my daily routine. Beautiful playing from Thu. Thank you.
Thanks Lance, nice to hear!!!
@@ThuleguitaristTeacher I'm not a pro master like you, I quit 2 years ago after playing 2 decades without good results just working now in a regular job, but I retake myself 1 week ago because the love to music and instrument and to see a master get you more energy thank you again.
I am a French boy who try to play classic guitar but I am not too young... But I hear you and I listen you lesson. It's a great pleasure. Thank you for your help
Glad to hear...thanks!
" Very Special Lesson this ( vdc ) Istructional on Guitar Fast/tempo Technic Player Concept ". .. Many Thank Mrs. Thu Le for the your Job on Teacheing Guitar Lesson. .. So' Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍✌👌👏👋
Thanks, it helps a lot. Your lesson is easy to understand and clear cut.👍
Thank you again for this wonderful tutorial. I know it takes a lot of time in making this videos. This show how committed you are to help people like myself that are guitar aficionados.
I started to play guitar at 48 y/o and it is difficult, but not impossible, to achieve a little of greatness.
Again thank you for all you are doing.
Excellent lesson Thu Le. There is no way around it. You HAVE to start slowly. NO ONE gets fast overnight. These are great exercises when using a pick as well. Best lesson I've ever seen for learning to play faster. Thank you Thu Le!
I cant focus on guitar with such a gorgeous teacher!
Thu Le is very patient. Practicing the dotted eighth with 16th is an excellent technique. Scales are the best way to increase strength, agility and speed while studying harmony theory. I attached all the modes and keys of the Major, Harmonic Minor and Sarasangi in movable Do solfeggi in my Composition 101 textbook, 21st Harmony.
Gracias por su tiempo para enseñarnos.
Me encanta esa vos.🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Muchas gracias Thu, por la clase de hoy !!! 👍
Great channel, Miss Le!
I need more "Only Classical" guitar channels here on TH-cam!
Yours is one! Great work!
Keep it flowing! 👍💪
This video got me up to speed on that long fast scale in capricho arabe. I really appreciate it. Thank you thu le.
You are very welcome Joshua!
Very instructive video; now I am reminded that it takes so much discipline to be as accomplished as you are.
Great advice from a true master
Thu Le, you have such a charming way you share your knowledge and insights. I could listen to you all day, teaching or playing! Best to you, Jon
I hope yo next video Thu.
Very insteresting about the technique.
Have a nice Sunday ,Thu Le.
Un gran saludo desde Trujillo - Perú.
One of my favorite scale. Good for your left fingers.
Love your velvety voice! It relaxes and calms me down. It's nice to have a teacher like you, even only virtually! Thank you very much!👍❤️
Good lesson that is very clear and easy to comprehend. What was the introductory piece of music? I ve heard it before. Maybe it was in one of Scott Tennant s books
Thu Le did tell me where the musical introduction came from. It is at the end of Fantasia by Legnani. I m sure this will be of interest to some.
You're such a calm and kind teacher! You've motivated me to dust off my metronome! : )
*Addendum: And, actually use it in my warm ups and playing. : )
thank you for this guitar practice and the methods about how study and keep new abilities
Una lección llena de luz. Gracias
Thanks miss Thu Le. Well explained principles and valuable expererience shared. Definitely need proficiency of precision and flexibility before speed.
Thu Le, a melhor, 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Obrigada Joaosilva!
Escuchar, ver, sentir las vibraciones de estas cuerdas, evoca la reflexión de Galeano "¿Para qué sirve la utopía? Para hacernos caminar", sí, aunque sea a pasos casi imperceptibles.
Muchas gracias Jose!
wow, a great teacher and beautiful!
Wow....thís intro is virtuosity. More than admiration I have huge respect because behind this amazing skill, there is dedication and many many hours of practice. And patience.
Many many thanks
Спасибо, очень хороший урок. 👍
I've always tried to run before I could walk. so now I'm going to slow it right down & add your long note short note & reverse it ..thankyou so much 💯💫
Thanks and glad you enjoy the tutorials!
So lucky to have you teaching us thank you Thu Le :)
Thanks, you are welcome!!
Great!
So beautiful teacher. It's a pleasure follow your videos
Awesome lesson, awesome intro, and awesome style! Thanks for the lesson and for the music!
Glad you liked it!
Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin, Al di meola, Jesse Cook, Johannes Linstead, Yngwie Malmsteen, all guitar speed demons that I've tried for many many years to emulate - to no avail. Every point made by Thu is right on point. Speed will come with time and years of practice, but even then the outcome may not yield the desired results. Progress will be made when we come to terms with our own limits, never in comparison with others.
Very true
Al di meola is a picker .. he doesn't use his fingers and with a pick it's relatively easier to reach speed faster than with fingers.
Go to your luthier and adjust your specs. Widen your nut width and string spacing.
Bom dia, Professora!

Thank you Miguel!!
Voilà ce qu'il me manquait. Je cherchais justement à acquérir de la vitesse, et tu tombes à point nommé. Je travaille le prélude No2 de Villalobos et bien sûr, je désespère lorsqu'il s'agit de jouer la petite gamme en quadruple croches. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo et ta générosité. Quand j'avais 20 ans, j'ai eu un professeur (le seul que j'ai eu de toute ma vie) qui un jour m'a dit : "un musicien qui ne partage pas ses connaissances, est en fait un pauvre musicien qui n'en connait pas tant que ça... ". je crois qu'elle avait raison. Encore merci pour ton partage. Daniel (France) PS : est ce que tu parles le français ?
Thanks you Daniel and no, I do not speak French!

amazing
Thank you very much Thu for this excellent video on scales speed. I see your thumb is traveling as you ascend and descend strings. How are you thinking about the Thumb and related stability and noise reduction?
Exercício maravilhoso, demais!!!
Muito Muito Bom, Grande Conteudo
