This is honestly one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen regarding practice habits, and it really applies to every instrument. I have not ever consciously thought about this concept, but I've noticed sudden "explosions" in my progress occasionally, and I never understood why sometimes I improve extremely quickly, and then go through a period of not improving much at all. I was astounded to notice that when I was just combining different things I already knew, my progress was accelerated. This confirms exactly what you've explained here. As a bonus, my weakest area right now is arpeggios, so I'm going to follow this exact exercise now! Absolutely brilliant, I'm subscribing!

[@LifeLongBruhGamer]

i'm noticing the "explosions" in my progress but i don't really know what is causing it exactly.

[@christianlaulunen2957]

why would anyone talk down to a man like this? he is an amazing player and he is trying to help other guitar players. did you hear me he is trying to help others. help and you are saying you can't jamwith this method. i think he is the best tacher I've ever witnessed. he is great and my hat's off to you sir for your helping of other musicians

[@JamesAllenJr]

Hat's off ditto

[@raymondmagdallon9033]

I mostly agree with you, Christian, but he is of course not doing this purely to "help" other musicians. He's mentioned different products he offers (likely not free or at least on his own site which = better chance of your money going his way) at least twice. this is a commercial. Most of the guitar videos on youtube are. Start listening for words like "secret" and phrases like "quickly" or "in just x time" or "this is the one thing you need." He's selling his "Nucleus" program. That is why some people don't feel afraid to criticize the video even though he smiles while he delivers his sales pitch.

[@RobKL2008]

So Raymond you work for free?? Ofcourse he does that wake up. But he gives and takes fair deal right

[@calebproductions5970]

[@redbrown7355]

Claus, I've been playing Guitar seriously now for 5 years and I taught myself from watching KZbin videos. However, since I discovered your tutorials, I've decided to only watch your videos going forward. Because your teaching is very simple and easy to understand for me. Also, once I secure this new job, I will have the extra finances to share a little more, and I will figure out how to donate some your way. Because you're way too good of a teacher not to be getting paid from everyone that benefits from your instruction. I'm a teacher as well of an artform and get paid for it, and so should you. So... Thank you for what you do for aspiring guitarist like me Sir.

[@Justme-wo8sr]

I love to hear the excitement in your voice as you teach the lesson. I try to do that, but I’ve only taught friends and children. Great lesson!

[@CarcPazu]

Ok, this shit made me subscribe. Best guitar class I've ever had the privilege to attend. I was stuck, now I feel liberated. Thank you for your teaching, your boots, and your motorcycle.

[@RBMasih]

I am doing this exercise only for the last three weeks and I am amazed how fast I am improving. Thank you Claus!

[@charlieb8735]

This is exactly the type of video I try and seek out as often as possible. The theory of practicing is so much more useful in the long run than any particular exercises.

[@troybowman221]

I have some of Clause's courses and he is an amazing player and an incredibly high energy teacher. Claus ROCKS and so can you. Just a warning to those who are new to this Chanel. IF you're NOT CAREFUL... YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING. Have fun and ROCK ON CLAUS. Thanks for the lesson!

[@martintroy]

That was the most calming, mesmerizing lesson i've ever watched. I totally get it.

[@mikkeljrgensen3850]

I went for three years like this thus I've become 4096 times better than I was at the beginning. While this might sound like I'm living the dream, by now no one understands neither what I play nor what I'm talking about. They say it all sounds like indistinguishable noise, but what do they know, right? Undskyld fjollerierne, Claus, jeg kunne ikke lade være - tak for alle de gode inputs. Jeg finder dine tanker utroligt spændende :)

[@jamesnabors5240]

Omg your so brilliant and creative, you explain your method of attacking the fretboard, is sooo refreshing, it's been 10 yrs since taking classical guitar at my community college, and I have learned more from you in the last 3 months than when I was in college, thank you so much, I'll be watching you're classes. .....

i got first guitar lesson in 2008, and quit and started again many times. even after i learned all theory, but still can't play any song. this is the most beautiful guitar lesson video i've ever seen. my baby hang on my guitar so i can't exercise but tomorrow morning before he wake up, i'll start again very quietly.

This concept is so simple yet essential. This is how you build your own solos. Every lick you learn and practice is another interchangeable tool in your toolbox that you can use to construct solos and songs. Awesome stuff, thanks!!!

[@sweetpotato3237]

Really made simple! You are a good teacher!

[@jjsmith475]

While I find this lesson very valuable and I very thankful, one thing that confused the hell out of me and will confuse millions like me is that at one point you said "play the 12th fret on the b-string". The rest of the time you would say the 13th fret. It is the 13th fret, not the 12th but that one mistake will confuse so many less experienced players to frustration. Others, not so much. Thanks for the insight, advice, knowledge and very clearly, your mastery of the instrument to help others out. Hugely appreciated.

[@summerbreezeau]

A very good, helpful, clear, tutorial. This also endorses the more knowledge of actual scales a player has then the more quickly they can appreciate such advice as this. Major scale and then learn to play it, flat 3rd, flat 5th, flat 5th, etc, then learn pentatonic majors, minors, understand chord structures, it all comes together well even if finger speed is not fast. The wonderful late Ross Hannaford of Australia's Daddy Cool, in for example, Come Back Again, plays little and plays slow, the less he plays, the more you want!

[@mzkpr015]

best guitar lesson ive ever saw .. thanks alot

[@SteveGuitar]

Simple question: At 5:49, when you go from 12 to 14 on the G string and release that, how do you prevent the open G string from ringing out? I’ve got a Charvel like yours on a clean tone, and the moment I move from that G string back up to the B string, the open G rings out annoyingly. Thanks! And great lesson!!!

[@DR-nh6oo]

I can only imagine it is through right hand palm or left hand finger muting, am trying to work that one out with little luck, I can’t see how it is done in this vid, maybe I just need a better guitar, lol.

[@vyger6336]

@@DR-nh6oo If your're strngs are too high , I think these type of runs would be next to impossible.... for me anyway LOL

[@DR-nh6oo]

vyger63 I think you may have hit that nail, it is a new guitar, am just getting ready buy new strings, sounds like I should see the luthier, cheers.

[@EvaluateAssimilate]

Notice that the right hand "tracks* the left as it moves to a new string. Usually, anything below the fretting hand is muted by the left, conversely, anything above the fretted string is muted with the right. When practicing something like this, rest your right hand in a position that will completely mute the D, A and E strings, and ensure that the G string rings true. As you strike the G string and proceed to the B, allow your right hand to subtly track the left which will now mute the G string as you strike the B, and so on. If you mute the G string before striking the B, you'll end up with gaps between each note. You'll therefore need to ensure that you don't mute too early before striking the following string. The "tracking" movements of the right hand don't need to be excessive, but emphasize them at first to feel the principle and then refine the movements as you develop.

[@litzoween]

This is a fucking GREAT video! I am already spreading this across the fretboard like crazy! Top Shelf! I am glad I ran into this!

For me. I like doing this technique on a 3string diminished pattern, that help me to get better from day to the next day. It feel like a litte bit bored.. But if u do every day and keep practice. It will make u play perfect.. Im newbie lol.. Love this tutorial and explanation

[@JimHill666]

Very cool. Keep it simple in the pattern, but it's really the right hand efficiency that is making it happen. Any practices to keep the open strings from ringing out?
