For those that say he talks way too much, remember, he is an educator. A master guitarist. He is trying to teach from different angles to reach as many guitarists as possible. He is INTENSE. One of the best, if not the best guitar teacher online. The knowledge he's passing down is rich and thick in these FREE lessons. Not watered down like others. Pay attention! Don't let your mind wander. Dig down! I get the feeling that those who claim he talks too much have never been formally trained. Where the teacher is respected, and revered. That EVERY WORD is valuable and important. I promise, the problem isn't with him. If you find it boring, watch the videos over and over until you get it! LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.
So absolutely right!!! Claus, you are an inspiration. And you can’t know but you changed my whole life.Thank you soooooo so much! Keep on producing!!!! Love it!!!
Well said. Good teachers should definitely show you how to execute techniques but being able to articulate it in words that can provide students with understanding is priceless.
Dude you spend so much time making videos like this for our benefit. We really appreciate you man. Also I like the metaphors and analogies you use from time to time. It makes it easier to understand the guitar 🎸
You're a great guitar player but most of all you're an incredible teacher. I think that last thing is very rare in the community. Thanks for all your videos and work!
I always thought Claus just rambled about the obvious but the other day I watched a video where he mentioned accenting and wow what a difference it made in my playing almost immediately. I have focused on making my pick strokes sound even up and down but the accenting really took my speed and accuracy to a new level. Thanks Claus!
Troy gets really detailed about technique and it's great if you can pull it off, but Claus gives instruction that you can incorporate into your playing. Claus: Meets me where I am. Troy: Learn to play it like this. Both are great though.
I get more from his explanation of what you need to think than watching excercise videos. It all makes sense on what I need to do because alt picking always kicks my a$$. i want to just get better and whatever I been doing hasn't work. Making 3 notes a phrase and articulating each phrase..Lightbulb and Bingo. Thanks dude. Excercises are not where it's at for me. This might be the first lesson i actually spend money on
Very good video... You are so right I would paracrkse the the things Im not good at but add a bunch of other stuff in with that practise because it sound repetitive and this has slowed my progress... I like that you get straight to the point and drive the piont home with examples.
It's far easier to learn to play licks very fast and develop technique than it is to play over different changes, improvising, while outlining the chords and finding all the notes for the melody you are creating in your head, without making mistakes, even playing only 8th notes. Don't forget to work your mind along with it.
I used to be in the 99 percent of those who practiced something for a little bit then moved on, not anymore, I completely focus on one technique at a time..
Claus, your vids are always great and useful and really gave me a new sight of learning. But by practicing daily and focussing and making everything as recommended ... there are days where nothing seems to work ... what about those days? (sometimes it feels like I'm walking back instead of forward ...)
Your development is exponential but in the short term it fluctuates. If you where to measure your progress and skill on a monthly basis you wouldn't see those plateaus. It's the daily and weekly ups and downs that gives you the illusion that you're not developing and moving forward. The cure is simple: Stop thinking about whether you developed since yesterday or last week. Just keep on practicing like nothing happened. When nothing seems to work, keep practicing. Silence the child on the backseat that keeps saying "Are we there yet?" - Know that every single repetition you do makes a difference. I can't not make a difference. No matter how it feels in the moment.
I love your videos. Our brains work the same way. I am a beginner, but can relate 100% with everything you say. That’s just how my brain works. Most teachers would teach new students a couple of basic chords, and then teach them a song or 2 using those basic chords, so that they feel like they are making progress, and it is fun. I am that exception that takes the long way round. I just focus on skills everyday. I am just over 2 months into playing, and I can’t play a song yet. But I do many exercises everyday. I break everything up into smalls steps. I practise chords, and chord changes. I strum when I do that, and experiment on my own strumming rhythms. I also do the spider walk everyday, and this also lets me focus on picking. Oh, another thing I just did on my own, was to try and do this without looking. When learning something new, obviously I have to look, but I try to switch to not looking as soon as I can. I should add, I also don’t want to make too many mistakes, so I won’t force myself into making mistakes (expecting too much of myself). I also do just left hand exercises, just sitting by the TV and just picking. And here I also play around, and to adjacent strings, and skipping strings. I try to build that neuroplasticity. Some people might call it muscle memory. And I just repeat. It took me 2 months just to get my hands, fingers, and muscles stronger. And I still have a long way to go. But this is similar in any “sport”, you have to exercise your muscles. Luckily I have a long background in sport, and have that mindset already. Thank you for your awesome videos. I really enjoy the way you think and do things.
I also practise finger picking daily. I only started this about 3 weeks ago ? I found some basic Travis picking exercises, and added them to my daily exercises. And it is mind-blowing how the brain works. I will pick up the guitar and think, i'm going to struggle cause I'm new. But if you repeat the same exercise everyday, somehow your fingers and brain go on "auto pilot", and you surprise yourself. Repeat repeat repeat. Everyday.
Would be nice to see some economy/directional picking love. heh. Do you have any courses based in that method? I'm still on the fence if I should spend time to outside pick to do fast runs. Is it necessary, or is it just an effect?
@@samroyproductions3476 Ya, as someone who's self-taught because of being poor as a kid, I've always economy picked because it was logical. If you've watched Marshall Harrison, a virtuoso here on RUclips, he is adamantly against outside picking and mocks it w/e the topic is brought up. So do a few others like Tom Hess and the teachers he trained. They also push directional/economy picking here on RUclips, as well.
Hello. your videos are really excellent, it's a shame they're only in english. I am French and my English is very bad ... I would like to follow your method :(
This is why I’m a strict economy player now. People claim you can’t get the rhythmic clarity with economy picking, but that’s only when you’re not great at it. Practice economy picking well enough and people can’t hear the difference. There’s literally no downside to it at the higher level, and it completely removes the outside string picking issue.
Whenever I get a bell notification for guitar mastery I always hope it’s “guy with pink guitar that shows useful stuff right away” and not “guy that talks WAY too much and has about 3% actual useful content.” You should separate the channels.

I bought the course a half year ago and other courses, too. This is the absolute most fundamental and very best of all. I love it.
Great to hear!
This is a life lesson in itself. Stop wasting time. Period.
I needed to hear this. You're one of the best guitar instructors online. Thanks!
Glad to help!

Same here 👍
You are making such a good point. This advise is golden, honestly. Keep up the good work!
Great advice Claus, I will concentrate staying in the difficulty zones more constantly.
Never paid much attention to this channel. This was a huge mistake!Great stuff 👍
Brilliant! Glad I found you Claus. You and Troy Grady are a gift to guitarists!!!!!!
Troy gets really detailed about technique and it's great if you can pull it off, but Claus gives instruction that you can incorporate into your playing. Claus: Meets me where I am. Troy: Learn to play it like this. Both are great though.

Lieber Klaus, herzlichen Dank für den tollen Tipp!
This is make sense... Thank for sharing this video... I appreciate it.... Thank u..
Absolutely great tuturial Sir.
Thank you teacher i share your clip because it useful to my student too
Appreciate your Ideas And techniques always. Love from India.❤
Thanks so much 😊
What guitar brand is that you are playing. Nice use of a standing stage stand.
It's a FAST guitar www.fastguitars.com

@@guitarmastery Thank you very much, Claus! I'm gonna buy a dummy for the child and keep on practicing!
Thanks for the tips. Just curious, where do you get one of those guitar stands? And what are they called, I can't seem to find one. They're so cool.
iirc he posted a link in the comment section of the previous video
Right here: www.thomann.de/intl/km_14760.htm
@@guitarmastery Thanks, man. Best price, too. So it's called an electric guitar performer stand. hmm. Cool beans.
I've seen a lot of teachers but I swear not like you.. keep going dude!!
Thanks, will do!
Wow Claus this is such an interesting video I love it.😃👍
LOGIC RULES! 😃
I am sure this video is going to change my playing
All killer no filler
0:02 yo…that way of accommodating the Thrust Rod…smartest idea ever!

Personally I just use economy picking instead of outside string Shift

Claus, which one of your courses actually implements these progressive exercises?
Ingenious is on this topic
Practice is the only key to this
I mean he got perfect tone
Wish i could have it
Thais guitar tone ia amazing
Really? Sounds incredibly shrill/thin to me.
Give sweep picking tutorial i always get struck in upstroke please help me out😇😇
100 percent awesome advise.
Listen to this Man !!!
bravo Claus
Buy a Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster and a wall of Marshalls
If u I knew u in 1985 I would have been a god
I’d like to be better at combining legato with alternate picking. That’s quite hard for me.
Hey can you tell me What name is your support guitare that you use and where can i cheap it and how match
Hello. your videos are really excellent, it's a shame they're only in english. I am French and my English is very bad ... I would like to follow your method :(
This was very aggressive. I have a lot more respect for this channel
👍👍👍 amazing
Is that hole for the truss rod? Damn
If Brad Pit were to teach guitar ..
Ok,se puede practicar 6 notas en dis cuerdas,pero lo mas lento posible,y asi descubrir y corregir falencias.
Ypu just explained why I have tendonitis
Why does my pick get caught in the strings
Lack of control. Comes with repetition.
@@guitarmastery lack comes from repartition?
❤
Thank you
And many people want to be able playing fast in a short way
Ironically, this video is 10x longer than it needed to be
ok, but if you learn a song or a specific lick, it wont make sens to add more notes to practice.
So why not just use economy picking to avoid the outside string shift?
This is why I’m a strict economy player now. People claim you can’t get the rhythmic clarity with economy picking, but that’s only when you’re not great at it. Practice economy picking well enough and people can’t hear the difference. There’s literally no downside to it at the higher level, and it completely removes the outside string picking issue.
Because when You play really fast, You are not be able to mix alternate picking with economy picking in the same fast music line.
I sometimes do when it's effective.
He is Brad Pitt Guitarist version😄😄
Hey, just one time let's upload a video of you just playing whatever it is you like to play.
He does..
@@timothyleard where?
Sorry, I thought you meant in his lessons, some people complain he talks too much and doesn't play LoL sorry bro 👍
Super
Brad Pitt with a guitar
How come Angelina Jolie left a guy like brad Pitt ! Great actor and master of guitar
I don't use pick
More talk than lesson guitar..Do you practise speech or guitar?

But you have to play it 100,000 times to get it burned into your muscle memory??!!!??????
