Left hand speed: How to develop it automatically

I like this guys work ethic based approach. No magic tricks or secrets, just real talk and useful instruction.

This has to be the most beautiful strat I have ever seen.

That is by far the greatest and most simple form of technique lesson I've seen! Totally makes sense and I know it will work. Impulses from the brain to fingers. Way easier than lugging a guitar around! Thanks you! Clause Levin.

The kind of advise you get from most YouTube guitar teachers: "You should really get know where your notes are on the neck." The kind of advice you get from Claus: "Listen to your chords, now play your scale. Does it sound good? Yes? Great! If not, move up 1 fret or down 1 fret and you'll be closer to the note you want." This is why I love Claus' videos and I can't wait to actually watch this one! XD

Claus, i want to thank you for all of your lessons. You have the best teaching method i have come across. I learn so much valuable information from you. My playing and practice sessions have never been better. Thank you..thank you! You are awesome!!

Awesome advise and techniques! I really appreciate the way you teach and the experience you have. I save the time I used to waste practicing the wrong way and now I get results so fast that it stays fun which keeps me excited to practice every day. I'm actually getting better! THANKS!

When I started playing drums I used to play rhythm with my hands/fingers all the time and it had a humongous impact on my playing. The idea of using your thumb as a fretboard is just brilliant. Will definitely try it out. Thanks!

Of all the courses i have a love yours the best, I wish I had found you 5 years ago. I’m doing fretboard mastery now and I’ve increased to where I can see the notes at a glance, although above the 12th fret I’m still working on. Thanks... I not only learn but you make me laugh, with you!!! Merrill

OK, so I am not crazy. Air guitar counts. Thank you Claus.

After 35 years of playing I am not quite as good as you but decent. This is the best guitar training method I have ever heard. In a few years of this I may be able to take a step closer to your playing. Thank You!! 🤘😁👍

Great lesson to remember that playing guitar is not just the headbanging and guitar position, but playing for real with my fingers, even when not having a guitar!!! thanks man! greetings from Chile!!!

I invented this 20 years ago. I'am not sure it helped me in playing but I'm definitely more crazy.

Claus, Thanks so much for sharing this. I've been following you for a while and you've really helped me. I really mean this when I say that you have my kind of OCD! I loved your discussion about obsessively practicing the same idea until you master a small piece than move on to build on the mastered piece. A couple more tips for taking this idea to the next level: You can build your groove / time while listening to music in the car. Take a page from drummers and practice heel toe with your left foot in time with the music. Heel on downbeat, toe on backbeat. This has the added benefit of teaching you how the part you are listening to fits with the time. You'll quickly see where the pattern is on the beat or off it. A huge deal! You'll probably end up with better time than your drummer! Another tip is for heavy computer users (me), reverse the buttons on your mouse and learn to mouse left (weak) handed. It builds all kinds of fine motor skills and seems to unstick a part of your brain. Finally, if you are a bass player, do this with your right hand fingers all the time (should work for finger picking or hybrid picking too). Start with a steady stream of 16th notes. Lead with a different finger and tap your foot in time. First one to 10 million reps gets to start over! For added fun, put accents on different parts of the 16th note patterns while keeping time with your feet. This is the perfect solution to boring meetings! Thanks Claus!

One of the nicest Fenders I've ever seen. One of the nicest clean sounds I've ever seen. And one of the best guitar teachers I've ever seen.

everytime i get impatient with alternate speed picking i watch another video of yours and i get the same advice that i need to hear......MORE PRACTISE!!!! lol i continue to watch your video to keep me reminded!

Claus, you truly are awesome for everything you share with us all. You're amazing at it as well, so I don't know how anyone wouldn't take your advice seriously. I thank you sir! The guitar was just a hobby until I saw your videos, and now it truly is an obsession!! Lol

I love your unique approach. Thanks Claus
