I've been learning to play touch-style guitar from the great Markus Reuter (Stick Men, Crimson ProjeKCt) for the last 3 months. In this video, I share musical highlights and tips from the last couple of months. Follow us for updates throughout this year!
Markus teaches remote 1-on-1 lessons for any & all "touch" instruments (Chapman Stick, Warr Guitar, Touch Guitar, etc.) and two-handed tapping technique for standard guitar as well (you can reach him here: info@markusreuter.com)

he found the reverb, boys. He's set for life.
That grandfather exercise sounds like something Tony Levin would be playing on a KC album
The swell stuff really reminded me of Fripp + Eno especially around 6:10
The grandfather exercise sounds like something from Super Metroid. Closest to "Mini Boss Confrontation" I would say. I'm a fan of the sound of it.
ok now I REALLY want an 8 string 🤣
Dude! You've been playing this thing for 3 months and have already inspired me with new approaches to melody and harmony and I've been learning the Saxophone, piano, and guitar for decades 😄👍 Great video as always!! Thanks for the insight :)
Exactly! Shawn's progress has been insane!
I've recently started with piano. As a music noob, It took me ages to memorize chords and scales, but Shawn has them down so soon.
The difference, I realized, was that Shawn practices *intelligently.* I focused on these fundamentals too late. Even tho it's a completely different instrument, looking at these videos have inspired me to start looking at the keys more efficiently too.
Such a wonderful thing to be a spectator of this project, love it !
Thanks, Shawn, for posting this up. I'm using your videos with Markus to learn my touchstyle guitar (a Krappy Guitars model).
You do an awesome job explaining how you practiced in your switching to left handed drumming video. I'd love to see some more detail on how you practiced the exercises you've been working on rather than what you've been practicing. For instance, in the example of familiarizing yourself with major intervals and triads, what did that look like in the practice room? Did you use slow tempos, build to target speeds, 10 minutes on and 5 off, or maybe some notes on challenges you faced or your headspace when practicing?
How did you implement the exercises you're talking about in the vid?
Great questions, hope he does a follow-up that answers all of that!

I'd love to see a run-down of your signal chain. That tone in the drone improv is super pretty
I am glad your progress videos include music theory I am finally learning anyway. I went looking for this one, because I hadn't seen anything on the touch guitar since the 1st month. As a guitarist, I would love to be able to get a touch guitar.
Adam Neely learn drums when
Rather personally I'm hoping he would do a miniseries on learning to sing with his mum.
I've been following your progress on the touch guitar, and I've been watching all your awesome other videos since I discovered your channel a few weeks ago! And today I spotted in this video that you are using my fingering editor! it feels good to have a role in your journey :D Cheers from Italy!
Oh cool! Someone in the touch guitar community shared the site with me. Great stuff, love it!
@@ShawnCrowder the new version has tuning presets, I know nothing about this instrument but I could easily add a preset to set up the diagrams in the correct tuning and number of strings in one click if you can point me to where I can find the most common tunings for this instrument, I think it would be a useful addition to the app.
@@GiuseppeMottaJay I sent you a message on Guitar Scientist.
Listening to you play reminds me of stuff like Devin Townsends ambient jams and Chords of Orion. I highly recommend looking up ambient guitar stuff like that if this kind of musical artistry intrigues you. Chords of Orion has a facinating youtube channel dedicated to it in particular.
Also bravo on the progress so far!
Man that intro sounds amazing
A concept I try to apply to my practice: "Let the right thing do itself."
A tip to the quintuplet list is rapsodi-19 by andreas sjøen, that song deserves more appreciation
I don't think I've ever been this early to a shawn crowder video, great to see this insane progress!
That thing looks like a beast to learn! Thanks for explaining each exercise, really cool to get insight into your process of learning something new that's outside of your comfort zone
Great stuff, Shawn. You're nailing these exercises. I've learned a lot from you as you explore the instrument. 🤘🔥
Good job on your progress
that's some speedy improvement
Will you ever do an update on your Japanese? Really curious to know how it’s going 3 years on
Will you be using this instrument while playing in sun gazer?
Are you going to perform/record with the touch guitar anytime soon?
The Grandfather sounds like King Crimson
Interesting! Never heard of a touch guitar. What's the difference between a touch guitar and a stick guitar?
Less attack on the touch guitar and the bass strings aren’t reversed. Plus it has a body
Are the Markus podcasts on spotify?
Thanks for asking. Not yet. They will be in a few weeks. For now you can find them for free download on Bandcamp: markusreuterpodcast.bandcamp.com
@@markusreuter very cool Markus you are awesome
Sounds like Grandfather lives in a Mario dungeon.
Whats the tuning of this guitar🤔
touch guitar jam with your buddies when?
Not to diminish the awesomeness of this, but when is he gonna return to Japanese?
It's not Inspector Gadget, it's RAINING BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
FROM A LACERATED SKY
BLEEDING ITS HORROR
CREATING MY STRUCTURE NOW I SHALL REIGN IN BLOOD
Careful at about the 11:50 ish mark your ‘s’ sound was a bit loud so may drop the high end a little there
Around 14:57 as well
