Talking takes time ;)

[@Forgiven156]

guitarmastery those pep talks have helped me on guitar!

[@iarreolav]

Thank you

[@sirskeleton2957]

Omg thanks lmfao

[@adrian3137]

Claus you are a gem, never stop teaching music!

[@FirstLast-nn2bj]

great lesson!

[@bryanwchambers9734]

I've been doing a similar exercise for several years now and I can tell you that this increases your sense of rhythm in everything that you will play on the guitar. A variation would be to play with a swing feel and other time signatures as well.

[@BrianVallotton]

You are an excellent teacher. As good as any I have ever seen. God bless your work!

[@rickhaywood9118]

Hey Claus! After playing for about 500 hrs I finally feel like i had a breakthrough with rhythm. I was searching high and low for someone like you. I guess I am ready to jam along with a drum track really soon. I mean I can already but I am not good yet. everything you teach just helps me get better. Thanks 🙏

[@san.daniele1365]

This deserves way more attention! I randomly clicked through the video (I know, worst thing you can do in an instructional video) and just by watching a couple of seconds here and there it gave me a very clear idea about how to train rhythm and having fun doing it. Thanks so much.

[@Moderatelydisagreeable]

I finally understand what guitarists are doing with their faces. Great exercise. Really easy to understand. Just like sports you don’t just practice plays you also practice the simple movements. Thanks.

[@musicjohn1]

Great instructor. I purchased his Rhythm course and it rocks!

[@edwarvallejose.9510]

Hey there ! It really helps you? would you mind tell us how it helps?

[@iarreolav]

Thats pretty cool

[@Tony-om1vg]

This video is invaluable…is this video included in the purchased rhythm course?

[@SuSu9Once]

This is actually so genius!!! Thank you for such an amazing lesson!!

[@alnunezeo]

that opening pep talk really resonated with me!

[@WaynesWorld69]

This is so brilliant. Wish I had this in the 80's.

[@jasonex9857]

Best teacher on KZbin.. Your passion is unmatched

[@-LutzMarten-]

Really, really helpful and nicely explained. The ideas and structure in your lessons of using the advantages of our brain and to UNDERSTAND how our brain works is phenomenal. Every other teacher is just "teaching" how you play this lick and that chord. But your videos in general and of yourse THIS one here is the way to master your brain...Thanks for that. Very motivating. Not just for playing Guitar...in many cases it is also transferable in life

[@rogeralleyne9257]

Very simple but powerful lesson!!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@JimiHendrixEX]

Your lesson are inspirational. What times we live when we can learn with People like you. After many teachers you are one that do it with enthusiasm

[@samuelsamu633]

Thankyou teacher I find out the clear way God bless you 💖🙏

[@Taguit]

Thank you sir. These small little lessons like this help me out more than you could imagine. Just to know I’m on the right path is great!

[@matthewhawkey6272]

Awesome video, rhythm I’ve definitely struggled with. It’s the consistency is my problem. No problems playing my gigs I’m the sole guitarist in a 3 piece, always pushing to be better. Thanks again for the tips👌

[@SheThriveswithGod]

Just invested in your rhythm exercise! Can’t wait to grow and master my 🎸thank you!!

[@guitarmastery]

Welcome on board Riffany! (Slight spelling mistake, but I had to leave it. It was too good)

[@SheThriveswithGod]

guitarmastery LOL! Right! Hmmm Riffany!! I think I like it! Ha! Thanks! I’ve been practicing daily! Looking forward to explosive growth! Thanks again!

[@c-live-vids7616]

I love this guy...some of the best lessons. I bought Steve Stine's membership, who is also good...this guy is right on par

[@Aresmusic.official]

Your videos are definitely something else. Just can't get enough! 🙌

[@Forgiven156]

Thanks Claus for all the great videos

[@zyzz7592]

If here is any beginner guitarist. I’m not a master or anything Just trynna deliver an advise (or a message as you call it ) from an intermediate player where ever you are skill wise just keep on practicing rhythm with metronome or just simple track, that’s the most important aspects of guitar playing cuz I just don’t want anyone struggle like me, I thought playing fast is great playing but it’s worst thing you can do as a guitarist ( especially as beginner ) it’s gonna be boring but trust me it’s worth the most in becoming a good player

[@guitarmastery]

Thank you for the advice Jodie! Truly helpful.

[@bigkeezo]

👍

[@BlakeriffinHalstead]

same thing happened to me, i agree with you

[@claymore9359]

I started playing about 8 months ago and one thing I feel I’m really lacking is my rhythm playing. Can’t wait to start using this exercise

[@Gullsz]

I found playing rhythm games on a Alesis drum machine really helped my rhythm guitar. Also, playing to a metronome and making the metronome groove rather than your guitar groove. As if you are playing the metronome rather then it playing you.

[@lelandgaunt7130]

😂🤣 that's what you're really lacking after only 8 months huh? Not laughing at you, just the innocent comment.

[@belladonichaze3213]

Ive been doing the same thing on my own, good to know, its actually a valid exercise

[@noahrubio2939]

What he says about the foot tap at 540 was so funny. I love this guy.

[@labverita]

ahahahah I really appreciate the way you teach. I'm having a lot of fun while learning. Thank you

great

[@shilohk38]

Best video I have seen for this.

[@Halenrocks5150]

Agree!!!

[@jasonmiller517]

Immediate breakthrough! I can't wait to see how this will improve my rhythm playing. Thank you!

[@janjansen7983]

how is your rhythm playing now?

[@BlakeriffinHalstead]

amazing lesson and enthusiasm

[@SheThriveswithGod]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Finally something I can break down and understand. I also don’t mind investing especially if the product is worth it! Thanks again!! Here’s to intentional practicing!! 🎉

[@adolfohuet3974]

I am doing your origin course and it is very good for learning rhythm, everything you showed today is already easy and it wasn't like that before starting the course.

[@drewtraub9586]

Inspiring lesson 😊

[@karimnoun6970]

Thanks for the video ! how do you get this tone ? What pedal do you use please

[@laymanlawman3848]

Great lesson sir. Thank you .

[@carsonking2186]

Never seen a person play a guitar on a stand before

[@brianhasenkam8607]

I bought one after seeing Claus use it - and it REALLY helps your back!!

[@lukew7531]

🤣

[@mcqueenlightyear158]

Hetfield uses one also.

[@ramanghimire4454]

I am not sure about getting mastery in guitar,,, but your way of presentation will surely gonna have so much impact if I need to do some🤭🤭🤭 impressive

[@brian76541]

This is gonna help me a lot thank you!!

[@kinandlo]

Your videos are just simply amazing! thanks

[@georgeorwell7850]

Can you do this with your picking as well? to practice fast syncopated note divisions like such players as SRV? thanks Klaus

[@AL-nh3tn]

Thanks, this was helpful 😎 You're very thorough and you made it easy to understand.

[@guitarmastery]

I am glad Aiden!

[@livingfreelyinspired7400]

You saved me man.

[@spaceangel4594]

Another practical, honest lesson,thanks!

[@guitarmastery]

Thank you!

[@denismorissette7318]

Perfect video for old people who are trying hard to learn guitar and who are just clueless.

[@Tony-om1vg]

This video is awesome…is it a part of your purchased course that you are selling?

[@daemonshullet8083]

During playing along with a song, do I need to count 1and 2 and..... Along or develop the feeling with my foot

[@atticusfinch6038]

glad lars from heavy weights found his calling

[@garryleach8517]

Thanks great lesson have you ever considered switching to deccafe.

[@guitarmastery]

Not yet!

[@denismorissette7318]

I’m good 57 and have just have a good few years ago. This video is hilarious!

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Seriously..please send a link to purchase that guitar stand..I need one thanks

[@leetf]

Great advice

[@pupurrolatino]

Nice Sr! This is a great idea! but with the guitar you are strumming up and down. Hoe could i implement it on the bass guitar ? And how it would like to play the sustaining the for long notes like half notes?? Thanks for your videos!

[@jonahbarrett9463]

love his attitude!!!

[@bigkeezo]

Signed up 👍

[@calvinbrownie]

legend underrated

[@jjcarter6539]

I want to buy your kind of coffee lol

[@scottspielman8910]

How do you approach the challenge of strumming with varied patterns on which/how many strings you play? Is there any kind of anchor/reference point to help? You did that great video on the strumming/picking challenge, where you switch between free hand and PC bone anchored which is great when going from strumming->picking individual strings. I'm asking about a rhythm kind of like strumming all strings down -> strumming up and down on just D and G string -> strumming just B string kind of thing.

[@andrewwebb624]

Man oh man this is what I needed because buddy my rhythm is so shit it's not even funny, my "counting" is basically me finding the whole notes and faking everything else.

[@waterolife]

Inspired Claus!! Well done

[@aliplaysgtr]

Excellent video

[@markmcease2417]

Just beginning with rhythm but can someone explain why the 2 + 4 are on up strums with the triplets. I thought 16 notes you play 1e+a…. Why do you skip the a part? Is this a different time signature? Don’t you always want your 1,2,3,4 on the down strum?

[@ningunrecords]

strumming hand training would be better name, dont forget about us left hand players haha. great vid!

[@samroyproductions3476]

An other lefty in the group haha

[@psteeg3551]

it's not the strumming technique per se, but mostly the timing of your strums and your left-hand-mutes. In combination. that's why he says you can also just use your hands and clap rhythms, as long as you focus on correct timing

[@stevenxx21]

Thanks very instructive even for a french guy

[@නාගසේන]

THANKS MR.

[@raimahossain2174]

QUESTION: Upon buying and properly utilizing the course "Fretboard Freedom" can one play and improvise anything they want flawlessly (yk the way Claus plays without having to think and it sounds right every time)?

[@williamwhite7041]

Raima Hossain I have fretboard freedom. Very good course and takes a lot of practice, but he breaks it down really well. As far as flawlessly? He gives you the road map and it’s up to you on how dedicated you are and how much you practice. It definitely helped me open up the fretboard. He teaches how you can link different scales used in improvising. I would think to play like him would take principles taught in that course plus years and years of practice and further learning. I do recommend the course.

[@hugosvalamrk4218]

Is this good for playing in a band? Should be right?

[@oneeyemonster3262]

I dont use a metrodone. I do use drum machine VST with different drumming style. The drumming grooves and patterns different even a particular style.. such as alternative rock. metal verse rock or blues.ect The reason is when I play the blues or 3/4....there's a SWING feel to it. I also play the drums ( it helps but not require).. Like you say....I can only focus on one thing at a time..The various drum groove it's so Im not thinking about drumming patterns and just feeling the groove. It takes time to get use to it...At first my mind would go blank or I couldnt come up with riffs when I switch music style....Plus I enjoy writing cool riffs or different chord progressions. I like playing rhythm as much as I do lead..as long as the has more than 3 chords in it.lmao Sometimes , I just select a random drum groove.. and ReCORD..Im not thinking about writing a song..I'll go back and listen to the recording...if I like something....I'll work around it. Other times music will just flow out of me....sometimes lots...other times NOT. When in NOT...I do the different excersize.

[@michaelglass9604]

Decaf bro!

[@MustangDesudiroz]

Great vid

[@THEPHYSICALSPIRIT]

Claus, You are a great teacher (Duh). But seriously most people don't realize the advantage of having your videos available. This did not even remotely exist when I started playing. Thanks. Multiple Guitar Mastery course owner.

[@onlyrocknrollbutilikeit4129]

Who else hears Midnight Rambler by The Rolling Stones at 6:50?

[@hectorheath]

What are those guitar stands called ?

[@keithmillar7817]

Nice one e anda Claus.You're the master. tvm

[@shikharupadhyay3671]

How do i practice on other beats? Like 4/4 or 6/8 ?

[@jimmybob2485]

Are you Arnold Schwarzenegger 1:43

[@anthonyjohnson4734]

Excellent

[@johncola1634]

when’s the video actuall start

[@MrDubstepDog]

Didn't know Murr from Impractical Jokers also were a guitarist!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Politely disagree with the title. Best rhythm exercises you will ever do? No, the VERY best rhythm exercises you will ever do. I started doing this on the piano, and for no reason I stopped. Time to start my savings account.

[@marcuxmonarch6858]

I want whatever coffee he had lol

[@tanzimshahriar]

You scared me when you walked away and the guitar stayed there at 8:42

[@keithjohnson5190]

I liked your video. One reason why I stopped to watch it is because you were not holding the guitar, I didn't know they had anything like that? I did like your way of teaching and telling how it is. Thanks.

[@awsesomeman110]

Where is his guitar strap though

[@sourpatchkid20]

365x50 = 18,250 .....ehhhh close enough

[@medooo7xghmdd336]

Great 🎶😘🌹🤩👍

[@jamesgould6336]

You're funny - that helps learning

[@Liberty-bc3su]

You're excellent... Just make your vids shorter and titles shorter, more precise and useful... You will increase views. I'd love to see more practical exercises, played slowly. Thank you.

[@MrProthall]

Literally gave you exercises for the next few months of practice. What more do you want, lol. Oh I know, you want predigested stuff you can just pause and do, instead of thinking about it yourself for 5 minutes.

[@bigkeezo]

Would you mind ending each of your videos by saying, "Get to the Choppa!"

[@rajattyagi206]

You speak so much....not good
