Extreme Guitar Speed In 3 Simple Steps - Guitar mastery lesson

[Marc-rnr]

The best guitar teacher on YouTube..what a passion this guy has...hands down

[chrisdaviesguitar]

I like the way Claus speaks clearly and succinctly without being condescending. Excellent teacher.

[RBMasih]

Claus, your explanation of the system of step by step practice is amazing. Your enthusiasm and commitment to make us better is much appreciated. Thank you.

"Stop Making Mistakes - otherwise, you are practicing making mistakes!" The video is worth it if only for this one thing.... but a great video!

[phillipallen]

What he says about making mistakes is astonishingly correct. I studied classical piano for years, and my professor gave me the exact same instruction: no matter what you practice, do it with the absolutely correct tempo and without mistakes, no matter how slowly you must go, even a snail's pace. Don't concern yourself with speed yet. Just make absolutely sure your tempo and notes are both perfectly accurate. This is because you're actually "recording" that sequence of notes into your brain so that it becomes automatic, exactly as he says in this video. Once you've got your "brain recording" down perfectly, then you can increase your speed to whatever you wish and your tempo and notes will still be perfectly accurate. This worked for piano; it works for any instrument. Great video; truly masterful instruction and advice. Thank you kindly.

This video, and taking it to heart, and putting it into practice, has been the single most helpful thing for me in my progress. The formula: create loopable exercise, play it slow enough to play it perfectly, and then play it while watching TV for hours. Play it at whatever tempo you can while making zero mistakes, do it a lot, and then occasionally do metronome work to try to increase speed. A simple and effective formula, Claus. Thanx, man. I am Shredward Scissorhands now! A true shredi knight!

If being a guitarist doesn't work out for you you can always become a Metronome-impressionator.

Brilliant advice!

Another practice tip that helps me - I always get a TON more practice time in when I unplug the guitar and take it to the most used part(s) of the house. I find I pick it up much more frequently than I otherwise would, even if only for 5-10 minutes at a time sometimes. But all the short durations add up, and I believe many shorter practice sessions are more effective than infrequent marathon sessions.

You are great, you have a great talent for teaching, don't stop making videos, you are helpful for every guitarrist who's got passion for learning but without money for paying classes, keep doing this!

I first heard Clause mention this loopable segment technique in his video about gaining speed through legato and super legato. It was then that I recieved the secret to speed that I had never been able to glean in all my years of playing guitar.

This is the secret that other guitar teachers must know but are keeping to themselves

Thank you Clause.

I've been playing for fifteen years, tried this for half an hour, and already a noticeable difference, feel like an idiot, awesome lesson!

[davidconnelly]

I thought that Troy Grady had killed the online guitar teaching genre with his incredible guitar tuition videos and I thought that it couldn't get any better. However, this might just be the best guitar tutorial I've ever seen. What a genius idea and I love the passion. Just brilliant!

I want to learn how to levitate a guitar after taking metamphetamine.

[SteveWilliams-uhsz]

This is the best guitar teacher on YouTube by far..Keep up the great work.

[fffrtyrty]

Sensible, passionate and simply put. A superior piece of work.

[BomShiva]

That's the ONLY way to attain speed in the fastest possible time.
Hit the nail on the head, as usual.
Nice one Claus.
Keep 'em coming!

[swampdog]

This is golden! No quick fix no bullshit this works

[carlbamburg]

As a lifelong guitar player, this is wonderfully practical advice..
People HAVE to understand that focus, repetition and patience is the key to learning.. The formula is SO simple, yet people want everything right here, right now..

[slowhand]

I like your attitude. You're really inspiring and convincing.
