[@bevo65]

I’ve been following Claus for years. And to this day, I always feel like I’m walking in on a private practice session. 😆

[@stevenlennon12]

u have great feel. u seem to make it seem obtainable

[@theanalogkid4171]

This is exactly what I need! Please more lessons on improvising over chord progressions Claus!

[@thomasmartinscott]

The thing that helped me more than anything was playing with a Looper, which is basically doing exactly what you're saying. It gives you a form or a structure to play within and become melodic.

[@duanemartin7742]

Yes!

[@rcareviews3138]

I watch these videos when they come out. I may not be practicing what he’s talking about at the moment but the videos help me stay in the mindset of getting better faster

[@ZitherBeast]

For any beginner out there watching this, do not dismiss this. Take this advice and run with it. This was a great little tutorial video.

[@StratEdgy]

I just found your channel in the last week. I truly dig it! I appreciate your enthusiasm and your can do attitude. Thanks for the good stuff!!!

[@martinopinto6323]

And his courses are super effective too!

[@lazvt8469]

found him last eve...and now THIS. Great stuff.....

[@JimLarranaga5k]

This is a great reminder that it's all about the groove. To improve your guitar chops, practice grooving. Thanks!

[@jerrylo3235]

Wow! Great exercise, immediately included to daily practicing routine - it gives so much fun that can' t stop playing..

[@kenkelly382]

Really awesome lesson Claus. Exactly what I needed as everyone knows timing is everything. This is a game changer.

[@praveenk1284]

An awesome lesson! Thank you so much.

[@yinyangthang]

Excellent teacher.

[@TheOrigamiPeople]

Great ,love your energy

[@fradoline]

This one video has just made the biggest gain I have experienced since I learned about scales. Thank you for showing us how to start improving on playing solos. I’m definitely stealing the first example you played. I can’t believe how much this made me feel like I am playing music for the first time. Thank you,once again.

[@mtthwpierce]

Thank you I've been playing for a long time but I taught myself so sometimes we can miss these things and not progress or takes longer than it should

[@erikgeiser8226]

Wow, one of the best solo lessons ever…thanks!

[@boytjiejoolz]

Every time I tune in I get a little better. Thank you, you make a difference

[@weallliveintrees]

Great lesson, extremely helpful information. About 30 years ago (when I was young and foolish), I was trying to teach myself things like 'Eugene's Trick Bag' from 'tab' yet I hadn't the first clue as how to 'rock out' and improvise a solo 'on the spot'. Talk about running before you can walk! So once again Thanks!

[@blainetrain2299]

Fantastic advice and great lesson. Thanks as always.

[@jonathanpeters8381]

thanks for another great lesson

“ if you can’t do this, you don’t have it yet!” Priceless…❤

[@bmoraga01]

Great lesson and great tone! Thanks for posting.

[@fadge4105]

Your lessons are gold dust Klaus.

[@squirelova1815]

First time I've seen Claus "headbang" but a good teacher does what is necessary.

[@miguelgateira4070]

I'm self-taught, I know some basic chords and the rest I explore. I confess that it took me some time to reach a satisfactory level, however it gives me pleasure to see that this intuition leads me to reach practical results such as those explained in this video. Thank you for the content of your videos in an uncomplicated and informal way. Videos like these make people like me believe it's possible.

[@SC04R1]

Wow!!! What an amazing eye opener!!! Thank you Claus!! Cant wait to try this!!

[@expocon1]

Very nice! Thank you.

[@steveboxing]

[@fortuitousthings8606]

[@adbraham]

You cracked it what I was trying to figure out for so long ... and a fantastic analogy to the rhythm of drum set. Wow 👍

[@sandyreece3004]

Excellent I like your course's as well

[@Jack0trades]

Good God, man. This is amazing! Just what I needed - thank you!

[@kristianmalinovic50]

Amazing, Thank you !

[@guitarmastery]

You're very welcome 😊

[@rtroiani]

[@JimiHendrixEX]

GREAT Lesson / Idea !!! Thanks. .

[@HighStakesDanny]

I agree with this! Great lesson!

[@spidgeb3292]

Your videos are immensely helpful. Excellent instruction, as always. Thank you for your commitment to improving guitar players' skills.

[@wjmildfelt9369]

Claus great tracing lots of comments lauding your teaching abilities not to mention your great guitar playing my first time seeing you on Utune have been playing wish washy guitar for 60 plus years and still play plain old c g f but I think with your explanation and practice method I could pick up real soloing beyond ghost riders in the sky San Antonio Rise sleepwalk pipeline I've been playing all those one note at a time by ear and leaving out a helluva lot that I think I can learn with 5 7 and the pentatonic thank you I'll search you up on you tube again!!!!!I think it probably be fun to jam with you although I'm still mostly Marty Stuart country

[@mondenouveau8736]

I´m a new sub and this is another great teaching. Claus you rock man!

[@taylorerickson3142]

Great lesson and exercise to incorporate rhythm into the solo. Love it

[@gnfnroses5470]

Hello from Croatia Zagreb Thanks for great video and lesson .

[@stephenwainwright8820]

Brilliant u know the score made my day thanks very much

[@drdave971]

Excellent lesson

[@arpeggioblues5924]

I've spent 3 years working on about 30 of your programs.. still working thru some, they are awesome.. Something just happened 2 weeks ago, I was playing a backing track, and my playing just went up against the chords as I hear them.. automatically went to the right notes.. this is because of YOUR training videos. Oh and my house mates hate it when I practice in front of the TV.. lol.. that's funny.

[@llorenzo385]

what programs do you have?

[@llorenzo385]

any suggestions please

[@arpeggioblues5924]

@@llorenzo385 These are the courses I bought: if you haven't studied with Claus, you're missing out what goes on in your mind when you attempt to master the guitar. It's how we think and learn and get distracted. That helped more than you can imagine.

Great lesson. Thanks,

[@linusinw.pa.linusinw.pa.5143]

He gave some great stuff on that video. Thank you!

[@AMC.Adam.music.Channel]

Great exercise/lesson to highlight the importance of rhythm within a musical idea or phrase and how it can transform guitarists who can master it as tool from being good to being great. The idea that a music piece got to be complex to sound awesome and cool is so dangerous to someone mind set because as you nicely demonstrated 4 notes and 1 chord piece of music sounds pretty cool too.

[@steveb4400]

I love it. I just tried it and it I feel it so much better. Thanks Claus!

[@davidmcfadden1763]

Such a great little exercise to bust out of a rut! Thank you, sir! Love from Canada!

[@TheBluesLab]

Great idea, very good lesson, truly useful advice and concept. Claus should make this exercise into a whole thick book of exercises: from very simple and easy to... the sky is the limit. Claus talks about how a guitarist should always move in complete harmony and synchronicity between the rhythm and the place in the chord progression he is in. This is, on the one hand, such an obvious fundament that it feels like it doesn't need to be repeated, and on the other hand, I'm sure most guitarists don't practice this enough and with enough intensity.

[@sgtrock6213]

Thank you klause.....as always...inspiring instruction...

[@edwinmalang2748]

I’m so happy to discover your youtube channel. I’m learning a lot thanks so much.👍

[@happypuertorican]

I just made a playlist and named it Klaus guitar mastery just for you my friend. Lol I don’t want to forget. I will check your website.

[@EvaluateAssimilate]

It's great to see you uploading a little more frequently again on here. For a while, it was as if I had a friend who stopped coming to the party. Glad you're back! Thanks as always and my very best 🤘

[@user-uf3ms1bp2t]

Best lessons on YT.

[@cuteasxtreme]

I like how you said you were gonna assume we know the a minor pentatonic but then described it anyway. This lesson is gonna help a lot of people

[@carlmacchio3369]

Excellent lesson!!

[@langstarjarain2622]

Thanks Sir, great idea

[@stevenw4549]

You always make good sense. Thanks. Great job.

[@tarotworldprojectdiscovert7449]

Yes, it works immediately, following you while you explain I start to sound like Jimmi Hendrix. :) Thanks.

[@rodrigofaillace2316]

Didn't know Brad Pitt was into guitar lessons! Great job!! Love your channel!

[@dougulman6700]

Just watched the vid from this channel today and this is the second, really appreciate you and your approach! As the first video is changing my practicing and within an hour was able to nail a solo that has held me hostage for a long while!!

[@hectorrascon9884]

Great lesson,thank you Claus!!

[@maxvega2931]

Freaking, awesome lesson. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

It's actually a lot of fun to put on a drum track (with fills); really helps a lot when following your rhythm technique.. eventually it becomes an unconscious instinct.. (record it, it's fun to see where the 'bad' parts are..heh). Recording a practice section can give a lot of personal feedback).

[@jaygarcia5982]

Great lesson as always,those sweep picking videos are still kicking my ass

Love your videos is this the charvel burgandy mist guitar

[@guitarmastery]

Yes. Gorgeous…

[@richardhunt809]

This is so important. People often get carried away with speed picking and sweep picking but their playing has no real connection to the rest of the music and it just becomes a tuneless, rhythmless, blizzard of notes.
