    Seeing the first minute of this video, I thought that this would be nothing new, because I've seen videos and courses about this before. I haven't really thought about the difference between tremolo picking and alternate picking, and the little reminder of accenting notes did it for me. It will make things easier!

    "Take a big marker, and write 'control' across your wall." xD xD
    Damn I am loving your vibe. I am a young woman who used to have major control issues that manifested in the form of an eating disorder. It was quite harmful to my body, so of course the primary goal was to heal that. But in healing and developing a healthier relationship with my body and mental health, I sort of disowned the parts of myself that really enjoyed being so in control. I embraced a much more flexible and soft way of being, that is more stereotypically feminine I guess. I silenced the "fighter" in me in a lot of ways, and when you started throwing punches in a guitar lesson, at first I laughed but then I got super into it. I have a massive capacity for control (barely eating and working out for hours is pretty difficult), but I was never encouraged to harness that ability and direct it towards something healthy and beautiful. I think the people around me a) viewed it as just an aspect of my mental health problems and b) felt insecure that I had stronger will power than they did. I am really excited about this. I am excited about someone describing intense control as something positive. It helps me appreciate that part of my personality and not see it as something inherently "disordered". I am in a much better place with my physical and mental health now, and I feel ready to reintegrate this lost part of myself. I just started learning guitar a couple months ago for the sheer purpose of making music. I never expected all of the other benefits it would bring to my life. Thank you :)

    Nicely put, thank you. "You can fire off” … Exactly. One may consider burst mode, as with a firearm 3-rounds with each trigger pull; to the fretboard, you can choose any number of notes to fire off, 3-note triplets, sextuplets or odd number groupings.

  • @rickschneider3887
    @rickschneider3887 3 місяці тому

    Yes I would say synchronization of pick and fret hands are necessary for control and fluidity. I believe legato traing of the frethand is just as important as picking technique. I also believe that you can only play as fast as your brain can create melodic sequence and phrases so your soloing sounds intelligent and not just a blister of notes. I have learned to pay more attention to hand synchronization and creating melodic phrases rather than see how fast my hands can move!!

  • @nvmcomrade
    @nvmcomrade 3 роки тому +1

    I did a million iterations of the 3 note per string over a month and now it is indeed way easier. Now I'm insanely skilled compared to what I was. I found I am disproportionately good at one position and string compared to other players though and I lack the ability to move my left hand from one place on the fretboard to another freely and now I'm putting work into normalizing position shifting and string shifting and then I hope I will have more time to think what I want to play.

  • @lone-wolf-1
    @lone-wolf-1 2 роки тому +1

    I primarily wanted, as an old fart beginner, to just be able to play some slow but nice notes and some chords (just for me, no audience). And as I like a slow blues a lot and having stiff short ol‘ fingers, this mindset as a musically "untalented" person helped me to even start learning playing guitar on my own and to not easily give up.
    But later I imposed myself to learn to play fast and even very fast. Even though I don't want to use it constantly, despite the horrible sound when I attempt it….🤪😅
    Why?
    There are two benefits for me:
    If the coordination of both hands have learned to work fast and therefore also more precise , I get a lot of "time" to build in some refinement and feeling in my slow played notes and sequences!
    And second benefit: I'll get more precise with my timing for each slow note. (I have BIG problems with timing! )
    Those subtile things make a HUGE difference, if I sound just ok'ish or pretty much spot on and can communicate feel !
    But to achieve that goal I need to practice more…😊
    Just my 2 (Euro)cents….
    Thank you Claus, for your lessons and motivation!!👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼

  • @siggyretburns7523
    @siggyretburns7523 3 роки тому

    I figured just plan out alt pix and sweeps to minimize jumping over strings before you even start practicing. Cuz even then you might decide to change the pattern (same note, different fret/string) to accommodate a more comfortable pick sequence. If it sounds good and is easier than other ways, practice it that way. But only that way.
    I found that trying other patterns after youve already practiced it one way totally sets you back. It throws the picking all off.
    Establish how youre going to play the lick 1st, and only practice it that way. Practicing 2 ways without getting good at it 1 way only doubles your waste of time.
    At least thats how I do it, now..

    @rexxengineering8333 9 місяців тому

    Claus: Great video. I do see and have realized the benefits of using accents when practicing fast alternate picking. I also know you have talked about how important it is to control picking depth. When going fast, it's necessary to pick shallow. I try to feel like I am only barely grazing the string, picking only the thickness of the string itself, though I'm not sure that's even possible. But in any case, it needs to be consistent depth. Every pick stroke, whether up or down, needs to be the same shallow depth. How does one learn this??? Try to pick shallow and hope the brain figures it out? It doesn't seem to be working for me. When practicing, I can see the relationship between shallow picking depth and speed. But I can't get consistent depth. I miss some notes completely (I actually miss the string). Other times, I accidentally pick too deep and the pick gets caught. My playing almost sounds worse when I pick this way than when I pick deeper (though I realize this is slowing me down). What is the practice formula to get consistent shallow picking depth? Does practicing at slower tempos and only focus on depth help? In general, it doesn't seem that practicing slowly ever helps one develop speed. Perhaps this is an exception to that principle?

    • @guitarmastery
      @guitarmastery  8 місяців тому +1

      "Does practicing at slower tempos and only focus on depth help?" It doesn't help, it is the only way! Practice this with total focus and a metronome 30 minutes a day and then spend hours in front of the TV or UA-cam picking accurately with small movements.

    I don't see it on your list of training videos on your website. If It is a program, where is it
    outlined on the website? I am an intermediate player, but I feel I need to focus on alternate picking, and building speed before I learn anything else, but I'm not sure, you are the teacher. I guess what I am trying to say is, where do I start?

    • @jaredt3985
      @jaredt3985 3 роки тому

      I got the link through email, being subscribed to his mailing list.
      Honestly for what it costs, I would say the course is a really good deal.
      And not for the exercises and licks. I mean they’re probably good, don’t get me wrong, but everyone has licks and exercises in their course.
      Claus specialty is explaining the psychology and methodology behind whatever it is he’s focusing on. I have a couple of his other courses, and they’re awesome.
      I’ve yet to find another teacher, online anyways, with the same approach.
      It’s been very effective for me personally.
      The only other course I would recommend for picking speed is Roy Ziv’s speed course. It is very well done, and helped me increase my speed tremendously.

      @jaredt3985 3 роки тому

      @emanuel botelho I don’t think you could go wrong with either personally, so here’s my advice:
      Buy this one, since Claus’ courses get locked for long periods of time, you won’t be able to buy it shortly.
      Roy’s course is always available and I often see it discounted throughout the year.
      They’re both excellent teachers with different views, which is a good thing for us players so we can get different perspectives from amazing players.
