Claus you are a gem, never stop teaching music!

I've been doing a similar exercise for several years now and I can tell you that this increases your sense of rhythm in everything that you will play on the guitar. A variation would be to play with a swing feel and other time signatures as well.

You are an excellent teacher. As good as any I have ever seen. God bless your work!

Never seen a person play a guitar on a stand before

Thank you sir. These small little lessons like this help me out more than you could imagine. Just to know I’m on the right path is great!

Hey Claus! After playing for about 500 hrs I finally feel like i had a breakthrough with rhythm. I was searching high and low for someone like you. I guess I am ready to jam along with a drum track really soon. I mean I can already but I am not good yet. everything you teach just helps me get better. Thanks 🙏

This deserves way more attention! I randomly clicked through the video (I know, worst thing you can do in an instructional video) and just by watching a couple of seconds here and there it gave me a very clear idea about how to train rhythm and having fun doing it. Thanks so much.

Really, really helpful and nicely explained. The ideas and structure in your lessons of using the advantages of our brain and to UNDERSTAND how our brain works is phenomenal. Every other teacher is just "teaching" how you play this lick and that chord. But your videos in general and of yourse THIS one here is the way to master your brain...Thanks for that. Very motivating. Not just for playing Guitar...in many cases it is also transferable in life

What he says about the foot tap at 540 was so funny. I love this guy.

that opening pep talk really resonated with me!

Your videos are just simply amazing! thanks

Your lesson are inspirational. What times we live when we can learn with People like you. After many teachers you are one that do it with enthusiasm

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Finally something I can break down and understand. I also don’t mind investing especially if the product is worth it! Thanks again!! Here’s to intentional practicing!! 🎉

I am doing your origin course and it is very good for learning rhythm, everything you showed today is already easy and it wasn't like that before starting the course.

Your videos are definitely something else. Just can't get enough! 🙌

great lesson!

Awesome video, rhythm I’ve definitely struggled with. It’s the consistency is my problem. No problems playing my gigs I’m the sole guitarist in a 3 piece, always pushing to be better. Thanks again for the tips👌

Ive been doing the same thing on my own, good to know, its actually a valid exercise

ahahahah I really appreciate the way you teach. I'm having a lot of fun while learning. Thank you

Thanks, this was helpful 😎 You're very thorough and you made it easy to understand.

This is actually so genius!!! Thank you for such an amazing lesson!!

This is gonna help me a lot thank you!!

I love this guy...some of the best lessons. I bought Steve Stine's membership, who is also good...this guy is right on par

Very simple but powerful lesson!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Claus for all the great videos

If here is any beginner guitarist. I’m not a master or anything Just trynna deliver an advise (or a message as you call it ) from an intermediate player where ever you are skill wise just keep on practicing rhythm with metronome or just simple track, that’s the most important aspects of guitar playing cuz I just don’t want anyone struggle like me, I thought playing fast is great playing but it’s worst thing you can do as a guitarist ( especially as beginner ) it’s gonna be boring but trust me it’s worth the most in becoming a good player

Thankyou teacher I find out the clear way God bless you 💖🙏

Great lesson sir. Thank you .

love his attitude!!!

I finally understand what guitarists are doing with their faces. Great exercise. Really easy to understand. Just like sports you don’t just practice plays you also practice the simple movements. Thanks.

Inspired Claus!! Well done

amazing lesson and enthusiasm

Best teacher on KZfaq.. Your passion is unmatched

Just invested in your rhythm exercise! Can’t wait to grow and master my 🎸thank you!!

THANKS MR.

This is so brilliant. Wish I had this in the 80's.

Immediate breakthrough! I can't wait to see how this will improve my rhythm playing. Thank you!

Great advice

Another practical, honest lesson,thanks!

I want to buy your kind of coffee lol

glad lars from heavy weights found his calling

Great instructor. I purchased his Rhythm course and it rocks!

Inspiring lesson 😊

I am not sure about getting mastery in guitar,,, but your way of presentation will surely gonna have so much impact if I need to do some🤭🤭🤭 impressive

Excellent video

I started playing about 8 months ago and one thing I feel I’m really lacking is my rhythm playing. Can’t wait to start using this exercise

How do you approach the challenge of strumming with varied patterns on which/how many strings you play? Is there any kind of anchor/reference point to help? You did that great video on the strumming/picking challenge, where you switch between free hand and PC bone anchored which is great when going from strumming->picking individual strings. I'm asking about a rhythm kind of like strumming all strings down -> strumming up and down on just D and G string -> strumming just B string kind of thing.

Nice Sr! This is a great idea! but with the guitar you are strumming up and down. Hoe could i implement it on the bass guitar ? And how it would like to play the sustaining the for long notes like half notes?? Thanks for your videos!

Great vid

Nice one e anda Claus.You're the master. tvm

Excellent

Thanks very instructive even for a french guy

Best video I have seen for this.

Can you do this with your picking as well? to practice fast syncopated note divisions like such players as SRV? thanks Klaus

Perfect video for old people who are trying hard to learn guitar and who are just clueless.

Thanks for the video ! how do you get this tone ? What pedal do you use please

I’m good 57 and have just have a good few years ago. This video is hilarious!

This video is awesome…is it a part of your purchased course that you are selling?

Is this good for playing in a band? Should be right?

During playing along with a song, do I need to count 1and 2 and..... Along or develop the feeling with my foot

Signed up 👍

How do i practice on other beats? Like 4/4 or 6/8 ?

Great 🎶😘🌹🤩👍

Thanks great lesson have you ever considered switching to deccafe.

Seriously..please send a link to purchase that guitar stand..I need one thanks

Man oh man this is what I needed because buddy my rhythm is so shit it's not even funny, my "counting" is basically me finding the whole notes and faking everything else.

QUESTION: Upon buying and properly utilizing the course "Fretboard Freedom" can one play and improvise anything they want flawlessly (yk the way Claus plays without having to think and it sounds right every time)?

You saved me man.

strumming hand training would be better name, dont forget about us left hand players haha. great vid!

legend underrated

What are those guitar stands called ?

Are you Arnold Schwarzenegger 1:43

I dont use a metrodone. I do use drum machine VST with different drumming style. The drumming grooves and patterns different even a particular style.. such as alternative rock. metal verse rock or blues.ect The reason is when I play the blues or 3/4....there's a SWING feel to it. I also play the drums ( it helps but not require).. Like you say....I can only focus on one thing at a time..The various drum groove it's so Im not thinking about drumming patterns and just feeling the groove. It takes time to get use to it...At first my mind would go blank or I couldnt come up with riffs when I switch music style....Plus I enjoy writing cool riffs or different chord progressions. I like playing rhythm as much as I do lead..as long as the has more than 3 chords in it.lmao Sometimes , I just select a random drum groove.. and ReCORD..Im not thinking about writing a song..I'll go back and listen to the recording...if I like something....I'll work around it. Other times music will just flow out of me....sometimes lots...other times NOT. When in NOT...I do the different excersize.

I want whatever coffee he had lol

Claus, You are a great teacher (Duh). But seriously most people don't realize the advantage of having your videos available. This did not even remotely exist when I started playing. Thanks. Multiple Guitar Mastery course owner.

Just beginning with rhythm but can someone explain why the 2 + 4 are on up strums with the triplets. I thought 16 notes you play 1e+a…. Why do you skip the a part? Is this a different time signature? Don’t you always want your 1,2,3,4 on the down strum?

Who else hears Midnight Rambler by The Rolling Stones at 6:50?

Decaf bro!

when’s the video actuall start

Didn't know Murr from Impractical Jokers also were a guitarist!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You scared me when you walked away and the guitar stayed there at 8:42

You're funny - that helps learning

Where is his guitar strap though

365x50 = 18,250 .....ehhhh close enough

Actually this lessson is just simple if you just use your ear

I liked your video. One reason why I stopped to watch it is because you were not holding the guitar, I didn't know they had anything like that? I did like your way of teaching and telling how it is. Thanks.

You're excellent... Just make your vids shorter and titles shorter, more precise and useful... You will increase views. I'd love to see more practical exercises, played slowly. Thank you.

I thot he ll never show the exercises

The Elon Musk of guitar playing :)

Intro a bit long!

he talks until 5:50 just jump to there.

Politely disagree with the title. Best rhythm exercises you will ever do? No, the VERY best rhythm exercises you will ever do. I started doing this on the piano, and for no reason I stopped. Time to start my savings account.

Would you mind ending each of your videos by saying, "Get to the Choppa!"

You speak so much....not good
