Might be one of the best teachers on CZcams, very holistic, brings in the often discarded psychological elements as well as the physical, mechanical, and theoretical
I have to say that your lessions here on CZcams 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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

What you mean is correct, but eventually EVERY emotional state must be taught to contribute a voice.
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.
true! :D
What a joke, 6-min of nothing!

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