So many guitar skills to learn so little time - The solution

[@ronfigg1]

I've been watching you for a long time and you are a great teacher. Your lessons apply to more than just guitar. I've been playing 26 years and you've made me a better guitar player! Thank you!

Ron Figg ,same here

[@MrPoilleke]

I just watched a gary moore interview and he told the same, focus on one pattern at a time, good work mister

[@jackiedixon5076]

Thanks Claus. Love your channel.

[@slob259]

Brilliant......you must walk before you can run, so simple but so true. I'm guilty of "kind of learning " something and then going off in a different direction, but really going nowhere. Thanks Claus!

[@ianwheeler8764]

Quote of the month "There are the vital few and the trivial many." Clause is not only an awesome guitar player but a philosopher too! :-)

[@eliasahenkan1701]

if there was a love button I would love ur comment

[@mikefetterman6782]

You have a good git of gab, and explanation. The Hot Rails high output pick ups sound great.

[@bestboy897]

I love you claus you're such a genius guitar teacher

[@ComedyCuts-x8v]

I bought the fretboard freedom course and two weeks into in, it has transformed my playing fundamentally. I believe anything Claus says.

This guy is Good!!

[@eliasahenkan1701]

Yh.. simply gud

[@cinnamongirl5410]

A year ago i was learning guitar, and liked it. But one song really bothered me, and i wanted to play it so bad, but could never get the sound right.. over and over. I kept tuning the guitar down, down, down to try and imitate what i was hearing in that song... like an idiot realized, it wasn't the guitar i was loving, it was bass. So i started all over, with bass and never looked back. ... Still i watch your videos as they apply to learning some of the best tips out there for anyone who loves the instrument.

[@tommymontroy7108]

Great video Claus. I really enjoy all your videos; very animated, great personality, and always good stuff.

[@ruditopoderoso]

This guy is so good explaining things

[@dlgm161]

Superb! The vital few - stop learning time-wasting scales, chords and licks and obsess on Claus's alternate picking lessons - his free Ingenium course. After 40 years at last I am on the right track!!

[@lukeli8750]

Great video lessons! Very expirational. In the church of guitar, you are the best priest! Thanks man.

[@aether2025]

Love your methods - everything is starting to click for me so I'll be buying one of your courses. 👌

[@ScratchStrings]

U explain really well n logical.i subscribed.

[@Wardell43]

I've been playing for 51 years. I can pretty much play like Hendrix or whoever. But the point is I still try to learn something everyday. If I'm awake, one of my amps is on and I flip to KZbin or Ultimate Guitar and do my homework. I try not to just play one style of music or just my favorite bands. I also write music even though it often goes nowhere. In the end, it's not about playing like others, but finding yourself.

[@Mikemcjr]

Thanks claus

[@liamwillis9496]

I bought this course, it's worth the money already!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Claus this is good advice. For me, I look for patterns in songs. For example, most metal uses the same rhythm gallops and power chords and then I drill down to what my weak points are for each song and work on that. So far I have learned 50 songs in less than a year and a dozen chords and scales. Now guitar is fun!

ClausLevin n'a rien découvert ici. Il énonce un principe bien connu des pédagogues avertis pour, à la lumière de sa propre expérience, de ses propres impasses, de la pratique et des conseils des plus grands, décrire parfaitement et dénoncer à juste titre le défaut majeur de nombre guitaristes (pas seulement) amateurs : l'éparpillement stérile entre de multiples objectifs et la volonté illusoire de prétendre ainsi tout maîtriser. Il importe en effet de s'assigner un objectif bien défini et de s'y tenir ou de s'imposer un exercice fondamental et le pratiquer "obsessionnellement" pour le dominer et ensuite l'exécuter machinalement dans sa trame originelle comme dans ses variations. Ainsi de l'exemple qu'il donne. On ne pas faire l'économie de la répétition inlassable des exercices, d'un exercice immuable pratiqué régulièrement avant de faire jouer aussi et après les principes de variation et de progressivité dans la difficulté. Ce faisant, on acquiert des compétences qui nous permettront de nous fixer d'autres objectifs et de nous imposer d'autres exercices sans jamais renoncer à cet exercice élémentaire, fondamental parce que fondateur... et personnel (on commence par reproduire ceux des autres avant d'un forger un qui nous soit propre). Bref "à courir plusieurs lièvres à la fois..., on risque de revenir bredouille...!" C'est un peu l'équivalent français de la comparaison de Clauslevin avec le chasseur focalisé sur une et seule cible..., seule façon de pouvoir l'atteindre. Un grand merci à ClausLevin pour, avec humilité, en tirant les leçons de ses propres erreurs, qui sont celles du plus grand nombre, et de l'observation attentive des meilleurs dont il synthétise l’enseignement, rappeler, avec la passion qui l'anime, un principe de la pédagogie d'autant plus essentiel et formateur que les néophytes, face à la prolifération de l'offre (cette multiplicité de vidéos à caractère pédagogique mais aussi de témoignages des plus grands), se dispersent dans d'innombrables directions à la poursuite tout à la fois, en même temps et donc impossible d'objectifs également innombrables dans la reproduction des exercices des uns et des autres, l'imitation - jusqu'à copie conforme - de leurs modèles. Il faut choisir et choisir, c 'est renoncer. Encore faut-il que le choix soit judicieux et s'y tenir ensuite.

Aspiring guitarist would do well to absorb what this man is trying to convey, whether you buy his product or not.

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Claus is truly the "Wizard of Shred"

[@KombuchaPants]

Would you review the guitar stand you use in the videos?

[@wadewatson2751]

They started very young 8 to 12 yrs. old, and the feel for the guitar was ingrained at an early age. Applies to any other instrument, sport. This is NEVER mentioned.

[@yourguitarist]

great video... as always. Question... how do you stand and play without a guitar strap? Do you have a video where you talk about that? Looks like a cool stand or something. thanks! :)

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Lou Lombardi, are you kidding? It's a stand,they have been around for ever dude....

[@craigcharlton6830]

Levitation. I almost have that down. If I just had one more guitar I think I'd nail it.

[@yourguitarist]

I'm not kidding... it looks cool... would like to know about it. The only other thing that i saw like that was something that Alex lifeson used back in the 70s for acoustic guitar... as I recall.... it was a modified cymbal stand. But Claus' set up looks different.

[@MattStormage]

he has mentioned the paul gilbert video a couple of times now, does anyone know which video is this

[@yessir4787]

Paul Gilbert Intense Rock.

[@nayrbsworld3048]

Anthelopie? Lol sorry but that cracked me up. Very funny clause. It's ant- te- lope. You don't pronounce the e at the end

[@wesleyAlan9179]

[@JohnProph]

Aspirational!

[@MattagastTheGreen]

You rock man; but has anyone told you that you look like someone Deep Fake'd Elon Musks face on Lars from the movie Heavy Weights? Am I right?
