You are the best teacher in the whole CZcams channel.
Love from India.
Watched this after setting down my guitar in frustration. Maybe the inspiration I needed to get over the hump. Nice vid!
You have always been my favorite guitar channel I just wanna say thank you. We both have the same desire to just be a complete master of the instrument. Guitar is truly a gift to humans I feel not everyone understands but we do 🤘🙏
Wow, thank you!
I been playing guitar a long time, and that helped clear some things up. Great lesson 🤘
he's back! man you single handily have had the biggest impact on my guitar playing journey. Thank you so much for all that you do
Thanks!
Thank you for these reminders! Very helpful.
Great Video! So many skills to learn, so little time. Thanks for helping to streamline learning to play.
Love your lessons and the couple of courses I’ve already done… cheers Claus!
Awesome, thank you!
Yep you are an awesome guitar teacher I've been playing for many years and I know many different techniques but the way you go about explaining things just totally clicks with me. I learn more with you than I have with others by far thanks for doing what you do.
Really in-depth look at the roots of all our problems. Thanks, i got a lot out of this
Your an excellent instructor,I must say I do like your playing style,approach. Keep up all your great work my man.
Excellent information. You’re a great communicator
I appreciate that!
God used YOU so much in my life to help better my skill level on this wonderful instrument. I wanted to shred like a master since I was 13 years old and had no idea how to get there. You speak well and so I listened. In 2 years of believing what have said I have to push the brakes now. ⚡️ thank you so much bro I love you. Be blessed always
So happy to hear that
Yep. I’m with this guy. This was an extremely helpful teaching video.
Lol Even if BB king could alternate pick I serious doubt he would be shredding. Seriously.. Shredding isn't the end all to beat all. These guys shred like all get out, yet none of them will be referred to as King of anything! It's not about technic and scales as it is as much as feel. That's the difference between BB and these guys. You can feel what he play. I don't care how fast someone can play nor does the average listener or if that was chromatic 3rds..lol. Gotta give em something they can feel.. Be yourself there is no correct way.. Anyway you can get the notes out clean with good phrasing is the right way!
@@lent7156 While i agree with you to some extent, let me ask you something. Would you rather have 2 ppl that can both play with extremely good feel, but have one be able to do all these techniques that can be integrated into any lick and make a player sound overall more interesting and even more musical or just the guy who can ONLY play with feel?
@@adriankovacs4133 Yes
It amazes me how guitar lessons and wisdom resonates with life lessons... loved your explanations.
Brilliant video!!! It took me 30 years to begin to understand these ideas and then another 10 to really start to put them into practice (I’m forever a students of guitar).
Good breakdown of mindhacks for the guitar player and other musicians.
Gratzi!
Great video. Thank you!
Great Info !!!!!!! Thank you!!!
I've been a student of Claus for 3 years and I still laugh when he makes the fart noises
This was a great lesson! 👍
Thank you, that was such a game changer.
This makes so much sense. And if you are clear about what you are practicing, then you can eventually move effortlessly between phrasing with shred integrated into it.
Thank god BB King stayed away from all the shredding and became one of a kind lol….cool video again Claus 👍..cheers from Odense 😉
By simply his free content on CZcams Claus Levin has taught me to improvise which, until July 2021 (first time I watch a video on his channel) I thought I could never accomplish. I believed I was an intermediate frozen forever at the level I could only memorize little by little a tab. Now on whatever backing track I download I can play along without ever stopping for 10, 15 or 20 minutes, and that soon, without any preparation. I had never believed I could do this, and I credit 100% Claus Levin for making this possible. Thank you so much Claus.
I've been following and using Claus' programs for 2.5 years now.. My ear is sharper, my playing has increased over 1000%, no lie; His approach includes how you consciously use your brain-power and processing to actually master each tiny piece, then stitch them together effectively, and before you know it, you're jamming in the zone. Composing in the zone.. I am so grateful I ran into his site over 2 years ago.. (yeah, I did buy most of the programs he has, but man, they are worth more than what I paid, for what I learned about my playing, my growth towards as much mastery as I can.. IT WORKS! you and how you think about your playing is the only thing that drives you further.. think sucess with out waverig, and you master it.
Thank you sir!
I’m a beginner and I find these tips useful. 🍻
Subbed.
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
Accuracy breeds speed.
"People with talent make the worst teachers..." so true. That's why I'm a kickass teacher.
Amazing colour on that guitar
Most way epic excellence broja!!
Great lesson dude
Glad you liked it!
Great video👌
You are such a master teacher it should be a golden rule to set at your feet and listen to what you have to say.
Thanks Anthony...
@@guitarmastery you are very welcome bro you’re an incredible teacher
U realy are a master !!! Thanks
Oh my god, Magical Klaus uploaded!
Breaking it down without an overly long explanation … fluid picking movement not choppy. Economy of motion.
My brain doesn’t work. That’s my problem.
Never thought of this but my speed is never increasing for a reason... now NOW I see.
strange to see you without guitar stand. more relaxed though..
Musicians!
Learn tunes schedule practice time use a metronome take lessons and suggestions such as this post as this teacher is excellent for improving your ability with your instrument. Try to remember, Rome was not built in a day.
Is there a subscription available to access the courses? I don't have the $ to buy them all individually.
I think it should be obvious to any of us that speed = smaller movements and thus we should practice in smaller movements. Unfortunately, it doesn't come intuitively to everyone.
Bro, you straight up look like a German Brad Pitt..
BB Kings style had zero to do with speed. It was based on talking. With big spaces, small phrases.
Exactly
Funny told, but a real story.
I am a not "that fast" player, but I enjoy playing....... and that is probably the most common key.😉
Thnx for promo the way we should do this training....I will be trying again. 😁👍🏻
So basically, practice does NOT make perfect. PERFECT PRACTICE makes perfect.
In this area you're absolutely right!
So what is the number one biggest mistake people make when practicing ?
No plan and no real focus.
Great stuff. What model and colour is your Charvel?

Thank you for the good lecture.
I'm a foreigner, so I refer to the caption below to watch your lecture. So I ask for two things.
Leave the space empty for subtitles.
Your hands and guitar are covered in the caption.
And please speak a little slowly to increase the accuracy of the subtitles.
Thank you.
Hi baba. Depending on what device you are using to watch the video, you can grab the subtitles and place them elsewhere on the screen. Try to click over the subtitles to grab them and release (drop) them a little upper on the screen. It may help you watching Claus hands.
Thanks for the insight! Didn't know that...

주말잘보내세요 ㅋ
You are really a motivated and good explaination teacher!! But i fucked up 😫😫
This WILL come naturally with speed.
🤟🏻
If BB was a fast shredder, he would probably not be as popular today. But if you want to be fast, do what Claus says.
So what about teachers that tell you not to worry about how you sound as a beginner? just learn the basics, and eventually your playing will clean itself up. Or should precision be paramount from the start? Just a curious beginner.
Hi Karen. Your technique will definitely not clean itself up. But, in the beginning it can be a good idea not to have too high standards for every single detail of what you are doing so that you can start playing something that sounds like music. Once you can play songs and know a scale shape or two, it's time to level up your commitment and start practicing with a focus on accuracy.
Not everyone wants to be a shredder, or just play fast. The BB King comment was very misplaced.
That comment about BB king was so wrong ……☮️
It was just an example. Not a comment on his playing.
@@guitarmastery To me not a good example 🤭☮️❤️no disrespect “
Any suggestions for us fingerpickers ?
Focus on perfection. Practice at a tempo where you can get everything right. Most of the time...
So... what exactly is the biggest mistake? Not focusing on a single thing that's being practiced?
I am subscribed to dozens of guitar teachers and have been here on CZcams for years but tonight is the first time this channel showed up for me to watch. I curious as to why that is, you have lots of subscribers. Are you banging someone at googles girlfriends and they are hiding you?:) Anyway just want to say I’ve watched two of your videos so far an I’m really impressed, perfect for where I am in my learning process. I liked, I subscribed and I thank you.
No one wants to be a shredder. It stands for something unwanted. It evokes imagery of misunderstood underdog genius person although without the genius. In search of numbing the non existent aesthetic loss of the spirit, a quest comparable to pursuing a figure skating career without seeing the unmarked water gone frozen, right beneath them, awaiting a landing never finalized. Devour the things we can’t explain, put them on paper and sign it with your soul. BB King’s enlightened.
Makes a world feel comfort and sanity.
Shredding doesn’t heal the world .
Doesn’t make you rich.
Don’t get you far with the ladies.
That said, good technique And eloquent sensibility and a heart on your sleeve: Hell yeah.
It must be in the right order.
Otherwise good video!

But.... Why didn't u turn off the delay? 🤔 Good lesson though. BB was not interested in playing fast at all, and that's quite alright.
No of course not! It was not a comment on his playing technique. Just an example.
So he's saying just play quieter? I don't get it
Emulate the picking movements you would have when playing fast. Robotic. Simple. Even. Accurate.
@@guitarmastery as opposed to what?
Really in the last year of using this and many other tutorials has elevated my approach to the guitar. Always inspired by these cats.Then there's Tim Henson,a once in a lifetime talent.Its his approach. He IS changing the way we play too.Lester Polfus,Johnny jimi Hendrix ",Van Halen,and now Tim Henson.Change the guitar completely.
You lost me at the BB King bit.
BB King said far more with just one note than a shredder says with his thousands.
Yeah, that remark about B. B. King was absurd. While we’re at it, let’s figure out why Ron Carter could never tap like Victor Wooten, or why Beethoven couldn’t manage to play the blues ….
Hello. Thank you for your content. Your channel is very interesting. Your playing is cool. I just want to let you know that my Motherlland is beeng in pain from russian occupation agressor. Russian murderers is destroying whole cities, killing civil citizens, kids. I think this information needs to be extends across the world. Thank you fo understanding. Kharkiv. Ukraine.
It breaks my heart to watch it happen. So unreal that you have to go through this.
Glory to Ukraine
BB King didn't need to play fast
Because his guitar playing was
An expression of the human voice.
Duh. So..... You obviously aren't
A singer so your playing must
Be an instrumental expression.
Figure out which one you are.
Most guitarists aren't singers
So....... Instrumental expression.
Watch the video again. There was no mention of BB King needing to play fast. You missed the point.
@@guitarmastery the implication
Was that, and I think you said," he
Never improved". He didn't have
To. Go ahead ahead play a thousand
Notes a second. That's not the
Main ingredient to what we call
Music. A guitar is not a Rubik's
Cube.
Really admire your enthusiasm, but that has to be the worst sounding amp/guitar I have come across, fella.
You talk and talk and talk please can you actually show something I don’t get it
How do you practice alternate picking again???
I want to see
