[@leeedward6804]

Haters will hate but know that you are loved and appreciated for all you do and share. You are awesome, Chris! Thank you and keep rocking!

[@leeedward6804]

Sorry for not spelling your name correctly Kris

[@KristoferDahl]

Thanks so much for the support Lee ❤️❤️❤️

[@al6377]

I follow you for more than a decade already and so glad that you are back doing awesome videos. Superb!

[@KristoferDahl]

More to come! Did you see todays vid?

[@TheBestGuitaristForReal]

I can't understand why people would go out of their way to hate😅

[@KristoferDahl]

Agreed, that energy can be so much better spent wlesewhere!

[@KYSMO]

Love your content, Kris! Glad to see you're still uploading. :)

[@KristoferDahl]

Big thanks bro 👊❤️

[@rescd4]

awesome info. Thank You.....working on this now

[@KristoferDahl]

Cheers 👊

[@scotpetri7630]

My bro. You are an extraordinary player and teacher as well. I've been playing close to 40 years now and have learned several insights from you in the past 8 years since I began following you. Haters can go pound sand. People who tend to over criticize usually don't like themselves very much so instead of going inward to work on themselves they lash out on others instead. Keep shredding my bro!! 😊

[@KristoferDahl]

Scot your FB lives are also an inspiration bro ❤️❤️❤️

[@mtheg7220]

Do net let your voice go unheard. Your advice might not be ideal or applicable for everyone, but for those that can benefit from your experience it is very valuable. So please, keep sharing and keep playing! 🎸

[@KristoferDahl]

Thanks a million bro for the support 👊❤️

[@jlfcopter]

Great content Kris. I am 68 and don't play anymore, but I would haved loved to have had your advise back in the day 😃

[@KristoferDahl]

Thanks, its very encouraging 🙏❤️👊

[@EdDanaGuitar]

I'm 64, still play and still learn from Kristofer...

[@KristoferDahl]

❤️👊 lets age [virtually] together

[@Punk_rayado]

There's so much hate nowdays, all over internet. In your UG times guitar lessons, guitar playing was so much fun... But now looks like there's two teams fighting for universal truth. I glad to see you again, with tons of lessons and advices. Now I'm not a kid anymore, time goes on without mercy... but you always be one of my first guitar teachers to me Kris... I represent Dahl's dojo!! Hahah

[@KristoferDahl]

I think the UG mods filtered out the hate comments 😅

[@tommythomas7944]

Keep doing what u do. Thanks

[@thijs199]

I always used to do things with stretching my hand. Got pretty severe carpale tunnel syndrome. So turned my guitar technique all the way over, started ''from scratch'' with that relaxed hand posture, never regretted it. I don't even want to do stretch things no more. Carpale tunnel syndrome is basically away and I don't get numb hands no more. But also changed my job, so not sure whether it's all due to the new hand posture

[@KristoferDahl]

Same here, I try to avoid stretching and rarely practice anything very stretchy

[@richardroyster6631]

thanks good advice

[@kimhall9755]

Thanks😊

[@KristoferDahl]

cheers Kim!

[@Zazmiz]

I'd be interested in how you developed your picking speed in 2nps licks.

[@KristoferDahl]

Great topic request, thanks! 👊

[@ShredTraining]

Welcome to the Internet.

[@KristoferDahl]

Thank you, I think I like it

[@ShredTraining]

@@KristoferDahl just remember that no matter what you say or do, someone will be offended.

[@mofomartianp]

@@ShredTraining And as you grow older and wiser, you will relish the fact that some people are always offended, and purposefully irritate them.

[@KristoferDahl]

Thanks for the wisdom 😁

[@KristoferDahl]

Sounds wise 🤣

[@EdDanaGuitar]

I have followed you for at least 10 years. More. The best advise you ever gave for me was, "You will practice this all day, then all night, and you will then have it."

[@KristoferDahl]

Awesome! Do you remember which video ghat was from?

[@EdDanaGuitar]

@@KristoferDahl One of your first two and three note speed picking videos..

[@jojimerc7396]

Paul Gilbert teach this same concept in one of his guitar instructional videos for rock guitarist.

[@KristoferDahl]

Cool, maybe Rock Discipline 2?

[@NoBSMusicReviews]

Well, I'm kinda relieved. I was just wondering if my predominant 'lead' left hand position was 'right' or not (clearly, I think too much). Turns out that I naturally developed a technique similar to yours, when I was a teen, almost 50 years ago. Most of your vibrato, and mine, clearly comes from the wrist, not the rest of the arm - you can see it right on your video. Sure there's some arm motion, but it's mostly the wrist. And, of course you are right - you must be flexible, and able to flow from one hand posture to another to optimize the biomechanics for efficiency and efficacy..

[@motorbikeray]

@KristoferDahl, which specific video of yours are you referring to that got all the hate? You have me really curious to watch it.

[@dietersdawgs]

So what, it doesn't mean anything....I have a small following of what I call " my five or six loyal viewers " ( 508 subscribers ) and what I think or feel are my best videos are always the ones that get the fewest likes and harshest criticism. As long as someone is getting something out of it, it's good work I say. Often times it's just knee jerk reactions. If criticism is thoughtful and not mean spirited, it's useful.

[@myturningpoint]

There's no muscles in your fingers, your fingers are controlled by the muscle group in your forearm. Your fingers contain only tendons. the 'control' and movement you're describing (very well and thank you) has nothing to do with muscles as finger muscles don't exist.

[@KristoferDahl]

Ok, thanks for enlightening us 🙏👊

[@volkankesici]

He talks about nothing for minutes. I gave up at 8th minute.

[@KristoferDahl]

8 minutes is still pretty good 👍

[@scotpetri7630]

Speak for yourself. I've been playing guitar for 40 years and still learn insights from other players. Sorry if you're bored go watch TIC TOC 😆
