Understand arpeggios in soloing completely

[@leerobbo92]

I love this. Everyone teaches you the scales, but when you're self-teaching no one tells you the purpose of certain notes and what they're good for. The whole tension description makes so much sense!

[@neiefnet]

Struggling with the same problem. Learning to play songs on the guitar is pretty easy. However, once a little bit of music theory kicks in...

[@amostexcellentdude751]

CSP the struggle is real

[@leerobbo92]

CSP Yup, properly understanding keys and constructing chords outside of the regular major and minor chords just kill me off. You're not alone.

[@echoblann4141]

I found that taking just a very, very brief look at the science beneath the music helped me understand and also visualize what it is all about. Only a brief look mind you. I recommend it to anybody interested. It doesn't complicate things at all it is really revealing to just look at frequencies and how the root - 4th - 5th notes tessellate which is why you get perfect consonance. It also helped me understand exactly what an Octave is - middle 'A' = 440Hz, one Octave higher = 880Hz and then 1760Hz and so on. One Octave lower than middle 'A' would then be 220Hz. Lower Octave = 110Hz. Enlightening. You could mic up just about anything around the house, fling it thru a Wah Wah peddle, kick it with your foot and tune it to middle 'A' 440Hz using your software and then make a composition out of pure noise LOL!

This guy is a star. Hilarious facial expressions, great humour, great teacher, down to earth and totally wacky. Love him, love him, love him.

[@dennisneo1608]

I've been playing guitar 29 years, and Claus is causing me to re-imagine my instrument. This man is the best guitar teacher I've seen. Why doesn't Claus have 300,000 subs????

[@anintatej]

dennis neo because one needs to have some modicum of brains to understand most of his stuff, which seems to be pretty rare resource in these times.

[@dougg1259]

This guy is the best guitar teacher I've ever listened to or seen on KZbin , he actually knows what he's doing and talking about and very informative and great player how can anyone not like this guy he's a great guitar instructor !!!

[@aricwilliams4168]

my new favorite teacher on KZbin

[@bestboy897]

man its like u were born to spread knowledge, your teaching style is so unique and fun

[@GuitarIngenuity]

There is no doubt that this is one of the most important and well conducted guitar lessons that I've seen. My utmost respect and thank you very much.

[@CapitanTavish]

Man you don't even understand how much time I searched for this, I asked so many teacher for exactly this , I tried to figured out this, you changed my life you don't even know it, you made me sound better at trumpet, guitar, bass and even piano, just thank you, people I asked how to improvising in jazz, blues watched me as an alien, the only say "yea play correct scale" you just made all brighter and all resolved

[@harlequingurls879]

you're soo entertaining. it's a brilliant teaching technique honestly

[@tommymontroy7108]

I love the energy in all your videos. Nothing looks like a 'task' or 'chore', you always make it look fun and interesting. Thanks so much for your videos and excitement about playing the guitar Claus. You're awesome!!!

[@TheMeJustMe75]

When I was learning guitar my teacher only allowed me to use the major and minor pentatonic scales when soloing. After that he opened my solo's to full scales. My solos went from bland to sounding more melodic and full. Now 20 years later, Modes finally made sense to me and solos have gotten even better. Breaking out of the box shape arpeggios also helped.

[@RME76048]

I've watched a lot of basic guitar lesson videos, and I have to say that this one made the most sense. It is very lucid and brings together some of the key points about resolving tension in a scale. Very helpful!

[@danielmayhew4321]

I can't thank you enough for your lessons. They have helped me immensely.

[@willyohohable]

Claus...you are born to teach! Your unique style never fails to amaze me. Thank you very much for all your help.

[@tinobickel]

Never had so much fun with a theoretical explanation. Very vividly explained. Thanks man.

[@jkdsteve]

These might simply be the best videos I've seen explaining these concepts and your style is direct and with humor...which always helps.I cannot emphasize how great this is...now I should go practice! Thank you.

[@Khyron9]

This single video is one of the best guitar lessons I have seen on youtube. Worth sharing and rewatching. Thanks a ton man!

[@GoddamnAxl]

OH MY GOD this guy is a genius in countless aspects.

[@markhurt6844]

His The Ultimate Alternate Picking course changed everything for me.

[@superzombie6024]

you explain what is normally very tough for me, very feasible. this was soooo helpful, insightful and drizzled with a bunch of wonderful tasty riffs that are truly inspiring!!!

[@mikekopf1173]

Claus, you have such a great way of expressing what music is made of. It is so much more than technique and you give us an emotional understanding too. Thank you.

[@FINNDUSTRY]

Man ur really good.. I am a beginner learner, been watching many KZbin tutorial clips.. must say u r the best, man

[@spdhegde]

This is the best lesson about arpeggios on the internet! Kudos. Thanks for the lesson good Sir :)

[@yuguitar93]

I love your teaching style! You explained well what are tension and release. Thank you!

[@saddle8bag]

"To get to a better place...we need a worse place." So funny, but true and memorable.

[@bigoogie3737]

This guy's awesome. I love the Joe Bonamassa lick lessons! This is fantastic too. He does such a great job of breaking down seemingly difficult things and explaining how to take it a little bit at a time.

[@greghill2545]

awesome dude. I do this by ear but seeing it laid out and described makes it so much more clear.

[@anonymousa6070]

Your teaching style is Unique and I love it

[@spivvo]

I think you just explained the fundamentals of music in ten minutes..... brilliant. Highly informative and entertaining :)

[@devinikram]

Great lesson. And the faces. lol. Thanks man, funny and informative.

[@HELLnnan]

"RELIEF AND TENSION". Man, that really answered my answers about what to use. I guess that is how things "should" be thought. Nice!

[@bram3205]

I love the fact he does this on a squier

[@brucelk19]

Bram Leferink I know people r brand snobs cuz I swear squiers aren’t bad granted I haven’t played a ton of better guitars but I have played worse

[@echoblann4141]

Completely. I'd rather have an unusual, even unique guitar with an original sound that's great to play. As long as it has a great sound a great action and intonation I think. I don't know why people go straight for the Strat or Les Paul with out thinking beyond how it looks on Clapton, Hendrix or Page. Those people most often play and sound as predictable as their tastes. Oh wait ... Is that reverse snobbery now?? Oops!

[@brucelk19]

Chris Campbell facts..

[@markhurt6844]

Yeah that is a sweet strat, check the scalloped neck. Great for Claus’ style.

[@fullboreraw]

I can't stop smiling at this lesson and it's really a great presentation of the idea - great job!

[@mykimikimiky]

thank GOD I found this video. having that thougth from the day one I picked my guitar ... decontructing melody over a chord ! thank Claus. from the bottom of my music soul :)

[@wardibuntar3971]

Finally someone who really knows how to break it down, emphasize and help me understand to play solos... it really makes me think about why i get "weird or out of tune" when playing to a song...

[@avigobindlall7342]

This one of the best explainations I have ever seen

[@jeremirussell6739]

hey clause I find your lessons completely awesome and I think you are hilarious keep them coming I look forward to the next time I see you on here peace out brother.

[@thesoccerlegion1]

His face is so funny when he's messing around. 😂 quality lesson

[@AudioMasterRTrib]

You are amazing. I'm so glad i found you ,and your method of guitar theory.

[@mjhealy3714]

Great video, Claus. What a cliffhanger, though! So much tension... need relief! :D Looking forward to the next one.

[@fisherohvf-men623]

as always, good stuff Claus!

[@puppyy780]

Great stuff as always! You've given me a lot of things to use in my playing and improve vastly! Oh...and that guitar is gorgeous.

[@polyphony250]

Wow best lesson I've seen online yet. I'll use this to teach my kids :-)

[@Mictesting2233]

You are a great teacher and learning is full of fun

[@niekvlessert]

Great stuff; keep up the speed in explaining it and entertaining at the same time.

[@jacobdrumm9206]

Love the way you explain things brother! Keep em coming!

[@Hsandov8175]

Great lesson Klaus!! Awesome insight into the experience of playing guitar 👍🏼

[@glenlouttit6323]

your passion for teaching comes through.

[@MarcelaImlaufova]

Thanks for this! I believe any lesson should be fun, and yours is FUN!

[@sambatal]

Great video. And i liked the little melody show off at the end :)

[@johnbird3722]

I agree with an earlier comment. Everyone teaches you the triads, arpeggios and scales, but the role that each note plays is so important!

[@olivermartin5611]

Love your expressions and gestures.

[@arpeggioblues5924]

Claus, you are a lot of fun to work with .. Thank you.. you make this fun.. and you make me laugh

[@moseseseseses]

If nobody else likes this I love it I love the way he dramatizes things I love the way he explains things in a very dramatic way I really get off on all this energy he has and it seems like he just so micro analyzes everything he has ever learned on guitar and he must give hours of thought on how he can convey it to others in a way that is practical and yet understanding. but you have a little bit amusing too wlboy I I wish I had this guy's energy he is so full of energy

[@alastairtilley3585]

CLAUS! This is incredible!!

[@9wegorz]

Thank you for opening mind for unlimited options! It is really great and your acting is so much fun! ;)

[@birdmanbl]

Brilliant teaching Claus!! And hillarious too....

[@יהוה-ג2ט]

Awesome video! Im looking forward to checking out a bunch more.

[@CodyHa420]

you sir, are an amazing teacher.. you answered 15 year old questions that I didn't even know how to ask lol

[@UrbanOttosson]

Epic lesson, extremely well explained as well as entertaining, thanks a lot

[@FingerstyleVideos]

Brilliant, world class music educator here.

[@himalayanbowls]

Great practical examples. Theory in action is really helpful.

[@mattgilstrap7295]

This is an extremely good guitar lesson.

[@rubenbaca9529]

Love your teaching style man

[@YONIthebassist]

Please make a video about the subject of *how to connect arpeggio lines in a chord progression *

[@jeremykopatz4760]

I just stumbled upon your video and I love your approach. Instant Sub from me! Thank you!!

[@locatefastballchange]

Dramatize is good. It got to me, I was laughing as it sunk in. Thank you!

[@israelunterman]

Best arpeggio lesson I learned

[@wahidsatar4329]

You are really a Very Good Trainer...I like it

[@TheSweetsOfSin]

Try this good exercise: Play Ravel's Bolero Melody (part1) and play it over various jam tracks. An eye opener...

[@clintenaragona6271]

We do love coming home from our trip. Well explained

[@KimSimonsJr]

so good. love the emotional narrative. thank you !

[@carltaylor4942]

Love it! This really works for me! Thanks Claus.

[@1999C2996]

@1:31 and @4:02 you sound like every one of my solo attempts!! 😂

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

"Ohhh yeah!!" "Ahh haaa!" so funny. Great lesson and it's obvious you love teaching this!

[@peacedragon333]

Dig your teaching style!

[@anintatej]

Haha, this was production worthy of Academy Award :)

[@avedonfivestar3808]

Hi Claus. When i go to your website, what is the program and system that you have come up with that teaches you to use the arpeggios as you show in this video. To solo over chord to chord and to go from chord note to chord note. Plus i never found the other vid that was part two of this vid, i could not find it in the link. Thanks Clause you are a pleasure to watch play and teach. I love it when someone who try's to show me something is so passionate about what there showing me. Cheers.

[@Raruufu]

I cried laughing at 4:00. Great teacher and very entertaining to watch and listen to!

[@pamn.5487]

Awesome lesson! Cant wait for thd next one!!!

[@Jake-vn9cq]

"sounds kind of jazzy......because it is"

[@Jay-lr3me]

Jake Vivian that made me laugh too 😂 love it

[@clevername4781]

Same 3 years later.lmao

[@stefanholbek2449]

Claus is simply different than so many other great teachers out there ... you learn a lot from them ... yes ... but HIS ENTHUSIASM and as good as "theatrical skills" when something is "right" or "wrong" ... I mean ... you can SEE when a note may belong in the scale but not in the ear! You can SEE when something is "nice" or "tough" or whatever. Others may just babble along ... which makes the process of learning booooooring! Claus makes it fun! ;O)

[@gabrielvazquez8324]

i love the drama way to understand it ! Thanks!

[@MrHaydrian]

Super lesson Claus. Thankyou.

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

the wizard of shred

[@stevedoingstuff3960]

Great lesson! You were kind of reminding me of Stevie T with those faces, hahah!

[@Matheus222]

Amazing explanation for someone who knows the piano and guitar, but I need to ask: In the chords, when "going somewhere" do I have to end on the root note for the chord, like C major = C note? Or Is it between the 3 notes for the C chord. Like can I finnish on the secound note that is played on the piano for C Major when I am "going somewhere"? Make sense?

[@bobbyjroberts]

MAKE & POST MORE VIDEOS!!!!! THANKS!!!!

[@Krissist]

That's one great lesson ! Thank you !

[@MrDC1001]

Great vid. Anybody know where he got his guitar stand or what they're called?

[@YONIthebassist]

Man you are the best you helped me so much with your tips

[@peterrentas3555]
