Simple trick to play never-ending runs without having to stop

[@Guitarman01]

Lessons are challenging, so please keep them coming. I'm on the Arpeggio Artistry course and it's amazing.

I love these looping licks…Paul Gilbert has a bunch of them and you hear all the pro’s using them…great stuff👍

Good information, thanks for posting this video! 🎉

[@mikehill666]

Always a pleasure. Thank you for all your tips and secrets.

I've got the chops. However, every time I get in a rut or plateau you always come through. Glad I've stayed subbed all these years. 🤘

Awesome lesson, thank you!

I miss the no hands guitar stand. That's cool 😎 . Oh by the way you have gotten better!!! Always enjoy watching you.

[@StewTheTrue]

Nice! Dude is asking the right questions.

[@stephengreen9663]

I must be honhest here. I've looked at a few of ur videos. And all seems so complex. But this was probably the best one I have ever watched and used on you tube. It finally has made me actually practice. It sounds good and isn't that hard to learn bravo .thanks so much you've helped me no end.

Go back to the others after some time. Sometimes it doesn’t hit first time but many goldmines here

It's great to see a Elon Pitt teaching guitar!

Didn't know Elon could shred.

He's ok, but have you seen Mark Wahlberg's younger brother? He makes it look easy...

[@mikechuttoo]

Powerful lesson💪

[@roderickgful]

Listen to John Scofield’s LP “A Go Go”! He leaves space, it’s more musical. Builds tension, etc

[@BK-lx5mo]

Playing for 30 years: best advice is practice FOCUS. Jazz improv folks do this from day one: think about what’s NEXT, not what you’re currently playing. Think of it like a good conversation-you want to say something interesting to keep the other person’s attention. You want to listen to them to have a thoughtful reply. Performing, especially improvising, is no different. The trick is absolute focus, where we can mentally silence all distractions. I’m not talking about a dog barking outside, I’m talking about intrusive thoughts. “Oops I missed a note; I need to finish practicing and get ready for a date; how will I pay to get my car fixed to make it to the next gig.” That’s the stuff that breaks focus juuuust long enough to trip you up. Think of the last time it felt like you were in the ‘zone’ musically, ideas were flowing freely-the goal is THAT, but all the time. I have a technique where if I occupy the part of my brain that allows the random thoughts, I can reclaim focus. I picture a geometric shape spinning-something simple-and it just enough to keep my focus on playing, and more importantly, what I’m going to play next. Sounds silly, but it works.

[@wavewithus4081]

@BK-lx5mo can you elaborate? When you feel like you're not focused or easily distracted, you visualize a geometric shape while also thinking of the 'whats next' notes? Is it more an anchoring technique where you always think of geometric shapes when you're in the zone so that when you're not in the zone you 'trick' your mind into the zone by thinking of the shape? Or is it more than when you feel annoyed due to being unfocused, that visualing the shape helps you calm down? I'm curious how purposely thinking of a visual shape and expending energy that way, would help in actually becoming focused? I mean, it'd seem counteractive to the mindset needed to be 'in the moment/zone', but if it works for you there must be some advantage somewhere? Maybe you can elaborate a bit on this thing that works for you? I'm curious.

This has been one of my favorite Eddie Van Halen techniques, he used it a lot in solos like the first solo in I'm the one! You are a great teacher by the way!

Thanks, Man👍

[@GetchaPull]

A big big thank you. This is brilliant!

[@rustammansurov8198]

I liked your guitar stand. where can i get one?

[@davidlawson7786]

Really cool lick Claus, it’s funny cause we have similar approaches to our playing. I swear I’ve been using very similar licks in my playing lately as well. I need to get better at my alternate picking, it does become like auto-pilot after practicing perfectly. Thank you for your videos. I really like your teaching style, very intuitive.👍cheers from Chicago!

[@musicforheadphones2731]

you gotta breath bro. Even Yngwie took breaths.

I've been trying to figure out ways that Rob Marcello does these ridiculously long runs.

[@RonjuVlog]

great class sir

[@arnelgumera5001]

more is more ❤️

[@rogerdaly6326]

Endless runs is like listening to someone on a typewriter. You gotta balance it out with spaces & some bends otherwise it sounds like noodling. Think of the way people speak. Sometimes fast when we're excited telling something. Then silence as we wait or listen to a response. Then like a bend when we emphasize a word (Exaacttly !).

[@tjn0110]

What is the name of the stand holding the guitar up? I've always thought I could probably play better if the guitar was supported like that, ie. improved mobility with no weight on shoulders.

[@Waberduggi]

Top, Thank you very much

[@ParaBellum2024]

It's very impressive, and amazing to watch and hear, but becomes boring after a while. The best solos may include some playing of this style, but will also be far more heavily biased towards a simple melodic idea.

[@randywhite1422]

Where did you get that hands free stand very cool love to have one!And great lesson as always

[@nikthefix8918]

Let's bear in mind that all the really cool stuff happens when good shedders stop and 'breath'. What you do in the speed gaps is all important. Vai, McLaughlin, DiMeola - all turbo players who don't go long on full throttle without taking a breath and doing something magical at that natural pause. You can shred and be lyrical. It ain't 'Guitar Hero'.

[@small_ed]

I love this guy...my biggest problem with these exercises however is controlling my "flying pinky"...

[@drexlspivey5828]

Always fancied a powder blue Strat, I've got a candy apple red one which is gorgeous, but yep powder blue next

[@johndsouzaguitartoday3075]

Thank you 😊

[@RobTackettCovers]

I have trouble remembering scale modes, meaning I have trouble matching the name with the actual mode...online it says there are 7, and there is this great video from Rob Chapman from a bit back, that he shows if you just play the notes in a major scale but start on a different note in the scale, as an example, if you start on the second note in a C major scale, which would be a D, then go up to a D using only the notes in a C major scale, then that is one of the 7 different scale modes ...also in using a major scale, if you play a triad using only the notes in the major scale, the 1 4 and 5 chords are major chords, the 2, 3, and 6, chords are minor chords, and the 7 chord is a diminished chord...but there is no augmented triads using that...to get an augmented chord, simply play a major chord with the 5th raised a half step, and you get an augmented chord...but it gets kind of infinite after that, because then there are adds...like a C7 is adding the flatted 7th to that major chord, which sounds what they call "bluesy"...or a Cmaj7, which is adding the major 7th to the triad, which is used in the two chords they go back and forth on in the verses in Daisy Jane from America...starts on the 4 chord add major 7th, then resolves to the 1 chord add major 7th...or you could add the 9th, leave out the 7th, or play a chord with the 7th and the 9th, or leave out the 7th and add the 9th, as an example, and if your playing the 7th and the 9th, now you have 5 notes in the chord, so consequently there are 5 inversions of the chord...meaning if you start on the root, that is one inversion, start on the 3rd, that's the second inversion, start on the 5th, that's the 3rd inversion, start on the 7th, that's the 4th inversion, start on the 9th, that's the 5th inversion...then in all that, there are open chords, and closed chords...open chords skip an interval, then resume...just different methods to get a desired musical effect...went off there on a little theory...cool loop concept...going to have to give that a go...thanks Clause...hope you and yours are doing great!

[@guitarmastery]

This video will clear that up completely: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on7YnHejarpjn7c

[@allboutthemojo]

Very cool lesson 👍 Does anyone know if this is similar to playing over a chord tone? Or are you just playing this run for example over a G minor chord? No theory knowledge here so I'm just trying to figure out how to practice it over a chord or tone playing on the looper.

[@guitarmastery]

Mark out the chord notes within the scale. Start and end your lines from and on them and it will sound great. You don't need more that a few to make it work.

[@allboutthemojo]

[@jaydeephilipcelestra78]

What is your pedal effects in this video?

[@bitcoinman9202]

Nice Claus, I like listening to neo classical sound but i don't really like to play it. I like to play more atonal stuff mixed with dorian/diminished/altered scales. I can take this and modify it for that type of theme.

[@meshuggener667]

great video! new guy here but certainly will come back. just one question please: WHAT MODEL IS THIS GUITAR?? seems nice..

[@MOAB-UT]

Cool.

[@vonwynn7447]

Is it in phrygian mode Claus?

[@Klaxet]

Would be nice to see how did you connect it up and down not just one lick on one string. I mean would be helpful to see the tabs of the intro you played.... at least one bar.

[@poisonapple1991]

I thought he had a supernatural ability to keep his guitar still. Then I realised it's on a stand..

[@oldguyjammin9732]

Sure, why not? Yngwie' been doing this (and not much else) for the last 30 years. Okay, finished the video, I get it - I'll try it! Thanks \m/

The D# sb an Eb since he's playing part of what appears to be the C-minor scale.

[@jasonalexander5253]

Yes, you are correct, but he is playing the Gminor scale for these examples which also has an Eb.

[@guitarmastery]

G harmonic minor with a Gb diminshed arpeggio superimposed on top of it.

[@mobeus84]

Also if you're only learning guitar to impress someone by all means learn this stuff if you want to be a musician and write music there are so many other things to worry about than to play as fast as you can

[@Masssshysteria]

Guitar ID anyone 😅

[@Drefromthebay84]

that was ridiculously complicated,it's called turn arounds,it's common in music,it can be ridiculously simple or complicated but all it is a fill that let's you double back and repeat a lick,it's a fill that changes the direction of accesseding and descending patterns,in order to make a loop you can't have a beginning and an end,even numbered note groups sounds like this,so what you need to do is add a fill that ends up in odd note groups like 3, 5 ,7 that will give the sound a repeating loop,just try it,if you play 3 notes on 4/4 time it sounds unfinished,but this means if you continue to play in this group it continues to cross over the bars giving that sound of continuous.

[@guitarmastery]

Nice point but not quite what the video was about!

[@eriklessons]

Great lesson. Thank you.

[@deanc.5984]

Beginners, Intermediates..STAY AWAY, NOT 4YOU.😅😔😭

[@ardennenwijzer2583]

Practice for 5 minutes only. Hurt a lot in left hand.

[@guitarmastery]

Where does it hurt?

[@ardennenwijzer2583]

@@guitarmastery Thanks for your reply Claus. In my wrist and lower arm. The cause could be that I'm a beginner (playing for 9 months now) and I'm used to play patterns with 2 notes per string. When i hit a 3th note on the same string, I use slides (even chromatic). So never really practice with 3 notes per string (is this only common for shredding technicques?). Also, most of the time I never use my pinky but the ringfinger to hit the the note 2 frets further. So my wrist is more twisted to the left. I can see your wrist is more parallel with the neck. I hope you understand what I mean. I'm not a native English speaker. I hope you can give me some advise. I play about 1hrs a day. Weekend up to 3-4 hrs a day. So I'm making a huge progress but afraid to get bad habits. FYI, your lessons are amazing! I learned so much from you. Certainly from your deep insights & motivational lessons.

[@static-and-rust]

So basically fill in the beautiful, natural moments of silence between your phrases with garbage filler notes. Does this sound like good advice? What if BB King had done this?

[@HeadbangoO]

You have to mix many different approaches. Stuttering between every phrases can be just as annoying.
