I love your physiological look at playing and studying and practicing, it really makes sense, even if some of your listeners like other teacher's better,by just adding/ using your philosophy it just puts it all together much better and you can learn much quicker... Thank you
Engraining paths....most intelligent, true, and proven ways to expand. You explained alot and put a lot of fragmented pieces together. Thank you sir. Creating new "go-to" licks and phrases is so important.
You are legend Claus. I thank every piece of advice from your videos here or your courses. It is incredible how some key elements are kept "secret" or hidden from a lot of instructors - reason (1) they will not talk about "that", will not unveil things completely. or reason (2) they are just not aware how they do certain things, they are "natural", thus they cannot communicate about something they don't exactly understand from a logic point of view. You fit neither category: you DO KNOW what you are talking about and you DO TALK about it. Thanks again for such vital information you keep bringing to us. I owe you a lot.
Such a perfect description, the city map. Its like , when someone is in the car with you, and you are talking. Sometimes you end up going the wrong way, because the car knows where it wants to go (lol). Its automatically driving to work, and you wanted to go to the store. The paths are ingrained.
Thank you for all your UA-cam lessons. I am much older man. I have played guitar for several years. I consider myself on the low end on an intermediate player. But trying to learn your method. It seems like this is what I have been missing, along with my teeth and hearing. Thanks, you are great teacher.
I needed some confirmation on this idea. I hadn't put it into better words than your analogy of the city, which was on-point, but I had the same ambition of seeing the "maps" instantaneously, at least until I saw this video. Great video and thank you!
You're so right about "Every brain works similar to that way" because eventually every beginner ends up sliding in between different positions when they are practising vertical shapes. There is something convenient about that 2 - 3 position range. Not to mention not skipping 6 strings to play as much as a couple of intervals makes the melody sound more stable and palatable.
I wanted to move with my guitar progress today, and I have subscribed alot of channels like yours, yet i was looking on my list and thinking.."where was that guy..." you are the best.
Learning scales on one String is the best way to start hearing how the intervals / Distance between two notes become almost instantly recognizable .. I move in all Directions .. I love to ascend a scale while my hand is decending from the Bridge towards the Nut .. It gets some puzzled looks on the Guitar players in the Audiece
I played for years and years getting nowhere never hearing anything about music theory not even alternate picking nobody would mention any of it, then one day on you tube I found the penatonic scale, dedicated and in love with my new ibanez I practice like five hours a day wasn't long before I had alternate picking and minor penatonic down its great however I am absolutely at a crossroads can you please make a video on practicing rythem maybe strumming pattern exercises
You should learn to find your way around the fretboard by _playing songs_ where you have to find your way around the fretboard. The best way to learn everything IMO is if you have a _song_ for each thing where that thing is needed and used. Or at least a lick or melody, something you need to express. Maybe even a gig. That's how people learn all languages, and it should be how to learn the language of guitar playing. You repeat things you hear. Nobody learns to speak a language by practicing the alphabet, it makes no sense. And it makes no sense in music either, IMO.
This is advice that I only really acted upon about a year after starting guitar and it's helped absolutely massively. The analogy about learning languages by practicing the alphabet puts it well into perspective.

changed my life, thank you. I love the analogy of the city.
This makes the most sense I have ever encountered in any video. Thanks, GREAT ADVICE!

Best lesson I’ve seen about breaking out of the box / learning the fretboard
This concept of paths is so powerful.
Just wow! The amount of thought you put into articulating is incredible!
These are little gems you instill on people. I really appreciate Claus it helps a lot !

Wow ! Just wow ! This makes for some " ah ha " moments ... Great stuff ... Thank you !!! I'm really liking your channel !!!

Great advice, that's exactly how I feel, I don't know what to do next. Thanks!
Makes TOTAL sense!!!
You may also try to HEAR interval distance as a way to learn Music. Seeing is helpful but ultimately musicianship is about sound.

Great video and thank you!
Thank you so much, this idea is such a fresh take on guitar

Amazing perspective.
Just what i needed, thank you Claus! 🥳🔥
I had no idea that Brad Pit was such a good guitarist. This video was great, thanks!
I came to this realization sometime ago myself. Like they always "its not the destination, it's the journey".
Thank you guitar Arnold Schwarzenegger
I'm new to your channel. I'm also really enjoying the way you teach. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Look for the pure Triads in the scale and use the Arpeggio's of these traids as Scales !!
Awesome concept and great explanation.....THANK YOU!!!
Great Info as always !!

That and Fretboard Freedom!

Nice intro !
Introduction to Intellectual Guitar Science
Professor:
Claus Levin
How many guitars you got?
All roads lead to Rome
Me playing guitar: All roads lead to the root note
super
As a taxi driver and guitar player my mind is blown 🤯
But if I can imagine the whole fret board then I can see my options.
👍🏻👍🏻
