This is honestly one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen regarding practice habits, and it really applies to every instrument. I have not ever consciously thought about this concept, but I've noticed sudden "explosions" in my progress occasionally, and I never understood why sometimes I improve extremely quickly, and then go through a period of not improving much at all. I was astounded to notice that when I was just combining different things I already knew, my progress was accelerated. This confirms exactly what you've explained here. As a bonus, my weakest area right now is arpeggios, so I'm going to follow this exact exercise now! Absolutely brilliant, I'm subscribing!
Claus, I've been playing Guitar seriously now for 5 years and I taught myself from watching UA-cam videos. However, since I discovered your tutorials, I've decided to only watch your videos going forward. Because your teaching is very simple and easy to understand for me. Also, once I secure this new job, I will have the extra finances to share a little more, and I will figure out how to donate some your way. Because you're way too good of a teacher not to be getting paid from everyone that benefits from your instruction. I'm a teacher as well of an artform and get paid for it, and so should you. So... Thank you for what you do for aspiring guitarist like me Sir.
Ok, this shit made me subscribe. Best guitar class I've ever had the privilege to attend. I was stuck, now I feel liberated. Thank you for your teaching, your boots, and your motorcycle.
why would anyone talk down to a man like this? he is an amazing player and he is trying to help other guitar players. did you hear me he is trying to help others. help and you are saying you can't jamwith this method. i think he is the best tacher I've ever witnessed. he is great and my hat's off to you sir for your helping of other musicians
I mostly agree with you, Christian, but he is of course not doing this purely to "help" other musicians. He's mentioned different products he offers (likely not free or at least on his own site which = better chance of your money going his way) at least twice. this is a commercial. Most of the guitar videos on youtube are. Start listening for words like "secret" and phrases like "quickly" or "in just x time" or "this is the one thing you need." He's selling his "Nucleus" program. That is why some people don't feel afraid to criticize the video even though he smiles while he delivers his sales pitch.
Omg your so brilliant and creative, you explain your method of attacking the fretboard, is sooo refreshing, it's been 10 yrs since taking classical guitar at my community college, and I have learned more from you in the last 3 months than when I was in college, thank you so much, I'll be watching you're classes. .....
This is exactly the type of video I try and seek out as often as possible. The theory of practicing is so much more useful in the long run than any particular exercises.
i got first guitar lesson in 2008, and quit and started again many times. even after i learned all theory, but still can't play any song. this is the most beautiful guitar lesson video i've ever seen. my baby hang on my guitar so i can't exercise but tomorrow morning before he wake up, i'll start again very quietly. Thanx
I have some of Clause's courses and he is an amazing player and an incredibly high energy teacher. Claus ROCKS and so can you. Just a warning to those who are new to this Chanel. IF you're NOT CAREFUL... YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING. Have fun and ROCK ON CLAUS. Thanks for the lesson!
This concept is so simple yet essential. This is how you build your own solos. Every lick you learn and practice is another interchangeable tool in your toolbox that you can use to construct solos and songs. Awesome stuff, thanks!!!
EXCELLENT Video!!!!! A friend of mine who is no longer with us, used to always say... "the thought is the cause of it all!! All we have to do is think! Thank you sir... for your rich insight.😎
This guy and Troy Grady are the best guitar teachers on UA-cam. They break shit down into a science so you can be efficient at guitar with theory!!! I’m a drummer as well and the same rules apply!!!
A very good, helpful, clear, tutorial. This also endorses the more knowledge of actual scales a player has then the more quickly they can appreciate such advice as this. Major scale and then learn to play it, flat 3rd, flat 5th, flat 5th, etc, then learn pentatonic majors, minors, understand chord structures, it all comes together well even if finger speed is not fast. The wonderful late Ross Hannaford of Australia's Daddy Cool, in for example, Come Back Again, plays little and plays slow, the less he plays, the more you want!
This is a great video lesson!!! I watched Gary Clark Jr. do this & it was amazing how he was using 1 lick but varying the speed and note placement & getting a lot of different sounds!!!🙏🙏🙏
I went for three years like this thus I've become 4096 times better than I was at the beginning. While this might sound like I'm living the dream, by now no one understands neither what I play nor what I'm talking about. They say it all sounds like indistinguishable noise, but what do they know, right? Undskyld fjollerierne, Claus, jeg kunne ikke lade være - tak for alle de gode inputs. Jeg finder dine tanker utroligt spændende :)
Hi, master !! Many thanks, the best lesson I found at YT. It's challenging but super shown. And encouraging words are beneficial !!! I will practice your lessons, your technique is famous.
Wonderful will never ended.. I got a good teacher today with very clear explanation' let me follow you from now can't waiting to be off So i can hit My Guitar like a fool..
Great video for connecting familiar patterns for creating meaningful runs. Honest practice/work/repetition really pays off with it ( i know...obvious), but if you get after it, it'll pay off REALLY well.
Extremely helpful thank you very much I will definitely be watching this video over and over again I been wondering how to expand upon a arpeggio sweep patern and use it in my playing and this is just what I needed very simple yet informative. I love it, thanks a bunch!
When the pitch started in the beginning I was like "hmmmmmm whats he gonna sell", but you made ot through with the content because you're absolutely right about what you say in this video! Thank you very much my friend! You just basically gave me a begginers course on sweep picking
Came back to this from some time and this sort of lesson advice about building from what u got down is a very good thing even if it takes a bit of work in practice… you get a lot back in playing in a more focused way
Hey bro I'm kinda of a beginner been playing guitar only for 7 months I do know how to play some of the hard stuff a lil bit... but I wanna ask you should I practice this exercise in this vid Even tho am a beginner or should I stick to simple stuff first?
While I find this lesson very valuable and I very thankful, one thing that confused the hell out of me and will confuse millions like me is that at one point you said "play the 12th fret on the b-string". The rest of the time you would say the 13th fret. It is the 13th fret, not the 12th but that one mistake will confuse so many less experienced players to frustration. Others, not so much. Thanks for the insight, advice, knowledge and very clearly, your mastery of the instrument to help others out. Hugely appreciated.
For me. I like doing this technique on a 3string diminished pattern, that help me to get better from day to the next day. It feel like a litte bit bored.. But if u do every day and keep practice. It will make u play perfect.. Im newbie lol.. Love this tutorial and explanation
Really cool and lots of fun. Finally just started attacking the whole arpeggio concept and this feels like a way to make it fun and get it solid in muscle memory
Hes the only British guy I can understand. Great tutorial, very detailed. Does anyone know what Charvel model he’s using on this video? Keep teaching and someday some of us will get to where you’re at now. Thank you
experienced this when learning the piano. my skill sky rocketed as soon as i stopped learning songs. i am now learning guitar and for some reason totally ignored that. thanks for pointing this out.
Valid points - we need to fully extract the benefit of scales, exercises, licks and apply it by expanding on what we have learned. Many make the mistake of bouncing around too much or moving through material too fast without true understanding.

Apreciate that.
U cute

Thanks it was getting really annoying.
I love to hear the excitement in your voice as you teach the lesson. I try to do that, but I’ve only taught friends and children. Great lesson!

So Raymond you work for free?? Ofcourse he does that wake up. But he gives and takes fair deal right
Who's making anyone buy? Your an idiot.
So what? It's not interfering with the lesson at all
I am doing this exercise only for the last three weeks and I am amazed how fast I am improving. Thank you Claus!

Holy cow that was awesome! Thank you very much for all your help.
One of your best videos! Thank you
This kind of tutorial is important for us, a self taught. Nice tutorial
That was the most calming, mesmerizing lesson i've ever watched. I totally get it.
Finally UA-cam recommended you. I was actively trying to remember your name because I’m love your teaching style.
Excellent, it's a very organic way to expand the building blocks already established and to develop new blocks found
You are BRILIANT teacher. Amazing lesson,no doubt.
I have some of Clause's courses and he is an amazing player and an incredibly high energy teacher. Claus ROCKS and so can you. Just a warning to those who are new to this Chanel. IF you're NOT CAREFUL... YOU MAY LEARN SOMETHING. Have fun and ROCK ON CLAUS. Thanks for the lesson!
This man's so skillful and he's great at teaching as well!!!
Unfortunately 0 × 2= 0
But infinity x 0 = zero but takes forever to count and figure out.
You stole my response. Haha!
0 + 2 = 2
2 > 0
I’ll take that ...
But that zero is your fault, so do something about it or at the very least stop complaining about it.

Cool stuff. Definitely gonna use this.

Thank You this is very helpful...
That first(edit) tapping part is so nice and clean
best advice ive ever had
Amazing teacher
subbed 8) great video, can't wait to arrive at home and practise on my guitar
I can only play one note on guitar. Does this mean in 3 months, I'll be able to play two?
Sure
Mathematically that is correct.
Not quite. In 3 months you'll be able to play one note on 2 different guitars.
that was a good one.
Only if you follow his directions and play the 2 notes repeatedly over 10,000 times
Criticisms are often stated by incompetent individuals!! Ignore it!! You're awesome! Keep it up!!
Amazing😊
