Huge practicing mistake - And we all do it

[@Soloist1983]

Might be one of the best teachers on KZbin, very holistic, brings in the often discarded psychological elements as well as the physical, mechanical, and theoretical

[@derickmcgoona7519]

Brandon Semik absutely agree 100%🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

[@wadewatson2751]

Agreed

[@Textra1]

I have to say that your lessions here on KZbin have helped me no end. I've been playing for 30 years and while I consider myself a good player, there were barriers I never figured out how to break through, particularly alternate picking at speed. Since I started watching your vids I've progressed more in the last year than I had in the previous 10 years. Now I'm practicing smart instead of hard and I feel like I've unlocked a whole new level.

[@damienthorne861]

Yep! Absolutely true. Me too. Guitar mastery is an appropriate title. This guy is the best. Period.

Thanks Elon how is the Hyperloop thing going

[@dwatsonjohnson]

Thanks for the free lesson on your website!! Its worth its weight in gold!

[@davidedelstein6526]

Your lessons are like no on else's. They are absolutely changing the way I play, and I've been playing (at a mediocre level) all my life. I'm getting somewhere for the first time in years.

[@ianmusicstein]

I love the way you explain things. Thanks for the great videos and insights!

[@kalamartintanegra]

Thanks Claus, I learn a lot with your lessons. You talk about subjects that anyone talk: brain work, learning process and motivation, and this is awesome. Great Claus!

[@shamonoise]

Thank you. I think it makes sense . And also practicing in a stress mode is really exhausting.

[@tom434911]

You are an amazing teacher!

[@carluptake5937]

Great videos Claus!

[@govindoburdwan]

U r so dam right.......This advise is gold !!

[@ebluz]

Actually, this philosophy is more all encompassing than you might imagine... many elite runners who can race at 4:30 to 5:00 per mile pace, will do most of their training runs at around 5:30 to 6:00, only a very small percentage of their total mileage is at race pace.... I have been guilty of making this mistake on guitar for years!

Thanks, great lesson

[@JadScout]

[@ericthehighlander]

Yeah I noticed when I don't put a lot of tension on myself i do better. I just relax my muscles and make less mistakes.

[@foryou1324]

If so, why are so many players suggest practicing bursts to increase speed? I really understand your point, but I've also tried it (maybe not long enough, or the right way) and it didn't really do much.

[@melodyofdestiny]

I'd say burts of speed do challenge you comfortably, Practicing fast runs for many bars doesn't my sense when you dont get it right, I think that's his point. I made very good experience with bursts aswell.

[@bobbietim1693]

Thanx good lesson,

[@alexroyal3623]

i've just realised. This guy reminds me of WackyJacky

What you mean is correct, but eventually EVERY emotional state must be taught to contribute a voice.

[@jasoncavitt2043]

I think these two conflicting schools of thought---practicing for speed versus practicing for accuracy---are _not_ mutually exclusive. In language schools, both fluency _and_ accuracy are practiced separately in order to develop different aspects of language production. Why shouldn't this more balanced approach apply to learning music? Do both, I say, as long as you keep them separate in your mind as you plot out your practice program. Eventually, one should become a fluent and accurate player as both aspects begin to reinforce and fuse into one another.

These lessons have improved, but it comes off as too much "selling" of a product. I think he needs to "scale" back the sales pitch.

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

true! :D

[@ziplock7286]

What a joke, 6-min of nothing!

[@paulallenscard8553]

Zip Lock Maybe you should stop trying to understand so hard and relax a little, and then, in this new state of learning, your dumbass brain will be able to work again.

[@aeksinsang932]

It’s the right philosophy to achieve good playing. The nothing describes what goes on in your head
