I think imo your legato lesson series would be perfect if you explain and demo to students about what is 'half-roll' and 'full-roll' legato.. so they would know/understand the technique alot better. Just my suggestion/opinion. Anyway great legato lesson though! Thanks Bernth!😎😊🎸🤘🤘🤘Hails and salutes from Singapore!
Love this workout!! I've spent a lot of time with it. Here's something that really helped me: if you're stuck for a while at a certain level, it's probably the pull-offs. In this workout, you exercise hammer-ons and pull-offs equally, but most people find the pull-offs harder and more difficult to speed up. If that's you (it was me), then you might want to dedicate more practice time to just the pull-offs. Try this: set a metronome to just below the speed you are stuck at, and *only* practice the pull-off run from the exercise, over and over. Do this for five minutes, gradually pushing the speed up. Then come back to the video. Doing this really helped me break through plateaus.
I picked up my guitar after a few years of not playing or practicing and your videos had made me improve at a super fast rate! I appreciate every-single workout and lesson you post. I feel like I’m actually controlling my fingers like never before lol. I will be subbing on your patreon soon too! Lots of appreciation for the work you put!
Guten Morgen, Lehrer. It's me again, sorry for not having introduced myself before. My full name is Bryan Stephen Wilhelm, I'm a vocalist, guitarist and composer indigo, who performs gothic, technical death and progressive metal and wishes a band since child. I do many other things but this is our space to play magic in guitar. 🎸🎶🌌🤘🏻 Your exercises to solve my dancing pinkie finger are working and now it's behaving better! Can't wait to be really fast! ⚡ Greetings from Costa Rica... although I'm German-Costa Rican hihihi. 🇩🇪+🇨🇷
That clap at the beginning and "legato!" makes me pumped every time. Legato is my weakest lead technique and for the past week or so I have used this exercise and I can really feel the improvement already. From being stuck at around 70bpm I can now reach 100bpm convincingly and 110bpm with some sloppiness. My focus is now to reach 120bpm and after that play it as clean as possible. Thanks for this!
@@armanj4514 Sure. I'm doing this exercise three times a day. I'm reaching 120bpm every time and I notice I don't tire as easily anymore in my fretting hand. I play both exercises convincingly clean on 110bpm. I'm still not able to play it cleanly at 120, but I'm working on it. The results I've had in 3 weeks has been beyond expectations so I highly recommend this exercise.
My final update on this is that after about 4 and a half weeks I can play the exercise all the way through cleanly. I'm still keeping it in my daily warm up routine, but I can safely say that this exercise is legit and you see daily improvements.
Thank you so much for this video. As an intermediate who's avoided legato for so long, this is a perfect kickstarter. Been doing it everyday for 5 days now and my fretting hand is already cleaner than before
Day 1, 90bpm just about, lose it on 100bpm Day 2, 100bpm, needs a bit more work but can be done, and 90 a lot more fluently. Will push for 110 over next few days Day 3, same as day 2 Day 4, managed to get to 100bpm fairly fluently, 110bpm max, will try to clean up Day 5, same as day 4 Day 6, 100bpm still good, pushed for both 110 and 120, but lost it, seems within my grasp though Day 7, Took a break cause holiday, litte rough, so hopefully only a few days to get back to where I was though, comfortable up till 90 though Day 8, I've lost a lot of motivation since holidays, been big gaps between practice, need to stay motivated, and get through each day as it comes, I'll improve so long as I stick to it, 100bpm really rough Day 9, !00bpm still rough, previous tempos more consistent now though at least Day 10, felt a lot more comfortable at 100, and kind of got 110bpm, pushed onto 120 even though I lost it to really push myself Day 11, same as day 10 Day 12, Feeling a little rough after going back to school, so a little hard, but did my best, 100bpm max for today
Started 12/12/21 This is an awesome exercise, fun as well. I'm using the 5 min alternate picking workout and now combined with Legato exercise as part of my workouts. 70 first day, but was able to get to 90 today, and sloppy 100. Ill do it for a month straight . I'll post result after 30.
@@SamuelBravo I'm still doing the 5 min Alt picking syncro daily and the 5 min Legato. I am able to do 120BPM every note, and starting to hit some of 130. It really works , I am doing better on speed for a lot of licks. Its just gradual, so I guess measuring by month is good for me. Legato is really a good workout but stuck at 80 and can do a little bit of 90 but I get tripped up . Are you doing some of the workouts?
Hello Bernth, you are AMAZING! You are truly talented and generous hearted. I cant thank you enough. Playing since 1985, now I begin learning how to play. I appreciate all the effort you put into all of these great learning experiences. - from Israel.
I like that challenge format of the video. Once i started to play along the mistakes started to appear kkkkk and then the real challenge begun in my head
Hi, da ich ja weiß dass du Österreicher bist, schreib ich mal auf Deutsch ;) Heute hab ich die 120 BPM geschafft und bin dir einfach nur dankbar für deinen regelmäßigen Content! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
day 1: 50 (barely 60) day 2: 70 (almost 80) (yeah, worked out 3 hours tday) day 3: 80 clean MONTH 10: 110bpm clean. Can't thank bernth enough, this with other workouts as complements improved my skills a looot, can now shred solos I never thought I could. My guitar level is skyrocketing since I decided to work my guitar for real.
Day 1 - January 24th - 60BPM Done Day 2 - January 25th - 70BPM (pattern 1) Day 3 - January 26th - 70BPM Day 4 - January 29th - 70BPM Day 5 - January 31st - 80BPM (pattern 1) Day 6 - February 1st - Can do 80BPM but it's a bit sloppy, will continue to work on it Days 7,8 & 9 - February 2nd/ 3rd/5th - did the exercise but forgot to comment speed:( Day 10 - 80BPM, still sloppy, hands are really tired
28 July 2020.. Havent started yet.. I'll edit once I've started Love this guy! Your videos help me improve so so much everyday, i always watch your videos and play along with you. You are AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the awesome workout, first stucked at 50 bpm and after 2 hours of practice, I finally reached 90bpm but little sloppy. 90 is the limit for me at the moment, I can feel my hand burning when I try 100bpm(push it) part.
that means you are pressing way too hard. it took me 5 minutes to get it to 120bpm, just like in the video. if your touch is light enough there is no burning and it goes quite easy.
Been playing for 15 years, in a gigging and recording band and everything and I decided to break out of the bluesy pentatonicy box I dug myself into.. first day and I’m topping out at 70… more tomorrow!
Day 1 barely 30 bpm Day 2 getting good 30 bpm Day 3 finally getting clean 30 bpm Day 4 up to 50 pretty clean, and dirty first pattern in 60, no second Day 5 getting a cleaner 60 BPM both patterns
I was in the same boat. Practice the triplets at a comfortable bpm. Then turn the bpm to somewhere uncomfortable, then go back to the bpm u we’re working on and you’ll see improvement.
October 24 - 80 BPM October 25 - 90 BPM October 30 - 100 BPM November 10 - wow 11 days went by quick. Falling apart at 110 BPM November 13 - Clean at 100 BPM, sloppy at 110 BPM November 18 - 110 BPM
Day 1: 100bpm Day 2: 100bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 3: 100bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 4: 100bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 5: 100bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 6: 100bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 7: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 8: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 9: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 10: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 11: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 12: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 13: 110bpm and 120bpm (pattern 1 only)
Day 1: 70 Bpm Day 2: 80 Bpm Day 3: 80 Bpm I cant do well my pinky hurts idk why day 4: 90 Bpm clean + 100 Bpm sucks at pattern 2 Day 5 100 Bpm but still sucks at pattern 2 Day6: 100 bpm pt1
Ok I admit it. I quit. But I am back to try again. There is so much burn I hat to take a break half way through. Maybe Bernth has an uber beginner channel.
We’ll see how this goes lol 07/28/23 - 40 BPM 08/01/23 - 60 BPM 08/02/23 - Still 60 BPM 08/06/23 - 70 BPM 08/07/23 - Still 70 BPM 08/08/23 - 80 BPM, 70 is still a little sloppy 08/09/23 - 90 BPM barely lol 08/10/23 - 90 BPM 08/11/23 - 90 bpm 08/12/23 - 90 BPM 08/13/23 - at this point if I could just get past 90 BPM it would be amazing lol 08/14/23 - 100 barely, the triplet pattern on 90 is still very sloppy. Happy I made it to 100bpm though! 08/15/23 - 100 BPM 08/16/23 - 100 bpm 08/18/23 - 90 BPM I feel as though I got worse lol 08/19/23 - 100 BPM 08/21/23 - 100 BPM 08/22/23 - 110 BPM, a little sloppy though 08/23/23 - Still a sloppy 110 BPM 08/24/23 - 110 still barely 08/26/23 - sloppy joe 110 bpm 08/27/23 - less sloppy 110 08/28/23 - 110 08/30/23 - 110
Just when I was thinking that my alternate picking and sweeping were ok but that I can't play legato to save my life 😀 90 bpm easy, 100 bpm ok... After that lot of problems
It's 3rd day since I"ve been doing this and few other pentatonic licks and my left hand is kind of jammed right now is it because of too much practicing or anything else ?? Somebody enlighten me .
I was in the same place as gig man. I’ve been practicing legato for about a year. Your hand gets used to the stretching but it takes a while. Just keep practicing with this video and your hand will be used to it in about a month. Practice other scales with legato too. Like the MODES. Practice these three note per string scales with alternate picking as well. Happy practicing
This is a bit late to your comment but for your next exercise in trying for speed (for example 160) try half time then double it. Its a way of working towards a higher bpm while engraining that muscle memory at the same time
Pre disclaimer- been playing for 17 years , I’m currently 28 , but always self taught, many of this “techniques” I notice that I’ve been sort of applying and or developing them instinctively in some sort of way here and there , when composing solos or learning covers. Even tho I have never studied guitar in the way of : doing exercises. I do have been playing around 4 hours a day for the last 17 years And up to 7 hours a day on gigs season , wich here in Spain is from June to October. My progres here was: 1st day: up to 100bpm 2nd day: same 3rd day: 110bpm 4th and 5th day also 110 6th day a solid 120 7th day , surprisingly 130 8th ,9th,10th day stuck at 130 too 11th day , a quite chunky 140 12th day a clean 140 Stayed there for 6 more days trying to jump to 150 18th day , a very dirty , but all the notes played 150 19th day similar 20th day very acceptable 150 21th day same 22th clean 150 6 days trying it on 5 different scales at 130 And rehearsing this same one at 150 Day 28 , i can play 6 different scales at 140 and this one at 150 , all across the guitar. Day 29 same Day 30 got the other ones up to 150 , but a few of them need some cleaning up. Day 31 just a little improvement Day 32 got them all clean Day 33 trying to use this techinique improvising over backing tracks , while recording me. Ray 34: it’s amazing to hear the recordings and think it is me , but they need cleansing up. Using it with taste is very different from scale up scale down 35,36,37 similar. Day 38. I’m playing some pretty fast 150bpm legato solos while improvising , and it sounds clean , precise and smooth. I’ll keep practicing, but I consider skill aquired. -to all the guitarist out there , that have been playing for many years , self taught , and get depressed with , all this children , playing this techniques , like fats legato , sweep picking, hybrid picking , and make you think “you wasted so much time being lazy not practicing “ Not true , you have spent thousands of hours learning how to write tasteful music in the guitar , finding your sound , gaining experience , learning to play with other musicians , acquiring taste. But also developing a lot of strength in your hands , after so many years of playing. It took me a bit over. A month to learn how to play legato at 150bpm (because it’s doubled , the real speed you are playing blacks at is 300) Do you think a young guitar student , with 1 year of experience can achieve a 150bpm clean legato , in many different scales , all across the guitar neck , in just a little over a month? Nope , his fingers and his wrist will hurt after each 10 minutes of practice Go for it you older guitarists. They’ve got nothing on us!
Good statement, it is hard to find motivation when you've been self taught most of your life and get stuck at a certain point. I think Berth is a real good teacher when comes about breaking through this condition. I also tried this class and my results are very similar, i am not 100% satisfied with almost 200bpm playing triplets (wich is the fastest i can go playing almost full clear with high distortion when im completely warmed up. I am not capable of just grabbing the guitar and hitting this speed), but this improved hugely my left hand motion. Consistency is everything even if you can practice only 1 or 2 hours daily. Do it with honesty and dedication and we'll get there :)
Really appreciate this comment. I’m self-taught and playing on/off (mostly on) for 20 years. Never learned to shred, still play pretty slow, and only recently decided to give in and start working on speed drills with a metronome. Eager to give this a go and see how many of my wasted years will actually pay off 😀
Wow. The empathy and perspective in that statement really triggered me in a good way. So many online "teachers" make it seem like you wasted your entire life not following their structured courses while in reality, you've been developing your skills every time you picked up the guitar. Bernth's stuff helps take it to the next level and I love how Bernth also showed himself applying more and more structure over the years. It's the reality of how you develop yourself over time. You wouldn't even be doing this exercise if you hadn't played quite a bit already.
Day 1: 60bpm Day 2: 70bpm Day 3: 80bpm Day 4: 80 bpm Day 5: 90 bpm Day 6: 90 bpm Day 7: 100bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 8: 100bpm (pattern 1 only) Day 9: 100bpm (both patterns)
@@365daysgone I dont know what to tell u bro, thats how long i was practising for. I practised with the slower tempos for 5 minutes and then tried to increase the speed for 10 minutes. The lick itself is short and quite easy so its not that hard to progress
Share today's practice results below! ⬇️ My brand new 30 day legato online course is finally available here: www.patreon.com/bernth 🤘

Day 1, 90bpm just about, lose it on 100bpm
Day 2, 100bpm, needs a bit more work but can be done, and 90 a lot more fluently. Will push for 110 over next few days
Day 3, same as day 2
Day 4, managed to get to 100bpm fairly fluently, 110bpm max, will try to clean up
Day 5, same as day 4
Day 6, 100bpm still good, pushed for both 110 and 120, but lost it, seems within my grasp though
Day 7, Took a break cause holiday, litte rough, so hopefully only a few days to get back to where I was though, comfortable up till 90 though
Day 8, I've lost a lot of motivation since holidays, been big gaps between practice, need to stay motivated, and get through each day as it comes, I'll improve so long as I stick to it, 100bpm really rough
Day 9, !00bpm still rough, previous tempos more consistent now though at least
Day 10, felt a lot more comfortable at 100, and kind of got 110bpm, pushed onto 120 even though I lost it to really push myself
Day 11, same as day 10
Day 12, Feeling a little rough after going back to school, so a little hard, but did my best, 100bpm max for today

Eres genial!!!!!!
March 24th, 2024: 60 BPM
Managed 100bpm today, I'll try 110bpm tomorrow
Can you give suggestion regarding the guitar action for legato ?
Now I'm on day alot later and I'm on 75 ish, somewhere in between 80 and 70.
Melhor canal de ligados
Day 1: barely made it through 70bpm
Day 2: Got stuck in 100bpm
Day 3: I could do the whole note one for 100bpm but not the triplets
I'll try this... but I'm not sure I can do it or not because my left ring finger is permanently damaged
Sunday oct. 16th get thru it ok but thumb is cramped to death by 110bpm.
Day1: 30bpm
Day2: 50bpm
Day3 :50bpm
Day4 :50bpm
Day5: 50npm
Day2: 50bpm
Day3: 50bpm
Day 1 8/13 80bpm
Day 2 8/14 70bpm I'm getting worse?
Day 3 8/15 70bpm Not getting worse, getting honest. Cramp and burn in only about 3 minutes.
Ok I admit it. I quit. But I am back to try again. There is so much burn I hat to take a break half way through. Maybe Bernth has an uber beginner channel.
Day 1- 80 bpm
5:18
Day 1: 120 Bpm (Pattern 1 only)
100! 6/17/22
Why hybrid pick while ascending? Is that really more efficient?
When coming back up, I am supposed to switch from picking downward to upward right?
We’ll see how this goes lol
07/28/23 - 40 BPM
08/01/23 - 60 BPM
08/02/23 - Still 60 BPM
08/06/23 - 70 BPM
08/07/23 - Still 70 BPM
08/08/23 - 80 BPM, 70 is still a little sloppy
08/09/23 - 90 BPM barely lol
08/10/23 - 90 BPM
08/11/23 - 90 bpm
08/12/23 - 90 BPM
08/13/23 - at this point if I could just get past 90 BPM it would be amazing lol
08/14/23 - 100 barely, the triplet pattern on 90 is still very sloppy. Happy I made it to 100bpm though!
08/15/23 - 100 BPM
08/16/23 - 100 bpm
08/18/23 - 90 BPM I feel as though I got worse lol
08/19/23 - 100 BPM
08/21/23 - 100 BPM
08/22/23 - 110 BPM, a little sloppy though
08/23/23 - Still a sloppy 110 BPM
08/24/23 - 110 still barely
08/26/23 - sloppy joe 110 bpm
08/27/23 - less sloppy 110

Just when I was thinking that my alternate picking and sweeping were ok but that I can't play legato to save my life 😀
90 bpm easy, 100 bpm ok... After that lot of problems
120 bpm ok for the first this morning😎... Now I need to work on endurance... My left hand is so sore at the of these runs
almost there
110bpm is still my best
120bpm is almost good, I am getting there
are you hybrid picking? looks like a finger pick or two in there
It's 3rd day since I"ve been doing this and few other pentatonic licks and my left hand is kind of jammed right now is it because of too much practicing or anything else ?? Somebody enlighten me .
I was in the same place as gig man. I’ve been practicing legato for about a year. Your hand gets used to the stretching but it takes a while.
Just keep practicing with this video and your hand will be used to it in about a month. Practice other scales with legato too. Like the MODES.
Practice these three note per string scales with alternate picking as well.
Happy practicing

The only problem of my legato is that I always hit the string below so it sounds not clean. Do have any tips for it?
What is that particular Ibanez model?
day 5 struggling in the fast part of 80bpm!!
110bpm was the limit to my comfort, barely made it to 120bpm, great exercise, you can feel the burn
This is a bit late to your comment but for your next exercise in trying for speed (for example 160) try half time then double it. Its a way of working towards a higher bpm while engraining that muscle memory at the same time
@@ApacheX11 It's never too late. Always share hints!! I just started, day two, 110bmp, now reading this, so I will try your hint. Thanks!

Pre disclaimer- been playing for 17 years , I’m currently 28 , but always self taught, many of this “techniques” I notice that I’ve been sort of applying and or developing them instinctively in some sort of way here and there , when composing solos or learning covers.
Even tho I have never studied guitar in the way of : doing exercises.
I do have been playing around 4 hours a day for the last 17 years
And up to 7 hours a day on gigs season , wich here in Spain is from June to October.
My progres here was:
1st day: up to 100bpm
2nd day: same
3rd day: 110bpm
4th and 5th day also 110
6th day a solid 120
7th day , surprisingly 130
8th ,9th,10th day stuck at 130 too
11th day , a quite chunky 140
12th day a clean 140
Stayed there for 6 more days trying to jump to 150
18th day , a very dirty , but all the notes played 150
19th day similar
20th day very acceptable 150
21th day same
22th clean 150
6 days trying it on 5 different scales at 130
And rehearsing this same one at 150
Day 28 , i can play 6 different scales at 140 and this one at 150 , all across the guitar.
Day 29 same
Day 30 got the other ones up to 150 , but a few of them need some cleaning up.
Day 31 just a little improvement
Day 32 got them all clean
Day 33 trying to use this techinique improvising over backing tracks , while recording me.
Ray 34: it’s amazing to hear the recordings and think it is me , but they need cleansing up.
Using it with taste is very different from scale up scale down
35,36,37 similar.
Day 38. I’m playing some pretty fast 150bpm legato solos while improvising , and it sounds clean , precise and smooth.
I’ll keep practicing, but I consider skill aquired.
-to all the guitarist out there , that have been playing for many years , self taught , and get depressed with , all this children , playing this techniques , like fats legato , sweep picking, hybrid picking , and make you think “you wasted so much time being lazy not practicing “
Not true , you have spent thousands of hours learning how to write tasteful music in the guitar , finding your sound , gaining experience , learning to play with other musicians , acquiring taste. But also developing a lot of strength in your hands , after so many years of playing.
It took me a bit over. A month to learn how to play legato at 150bpm (because it’s doubled , the real speed you are playing blacks at is 300)
Do you think a young guitar student , with 1 year of experience can achieve a 150bpm clean legato , in many different scales , all across the guitar neck , in just a little over a month?
Nope , his fingers and his wrist will hurt after each 10 minutes of practice
Go for it you older guitarists.
They’ve got nothing on us!
Everything you said is so try, and inspiring
Good statement, it is hard to find motivation when you've been self taught most of your life and get stuck at a certain point. I think Berth is a real good teacher when comes about breaking through this condition. I also tried this class and my results are very similar, i am not 100% satisfied with almost 200bpm playing triplets (wich is the fastest i can go playing almost full clear with high distortion when im completely warmed up. I am not capable of just grabbing the guitar and hitting this speed), but this improved hugely my left hand motion. Consistency is everything even if you can practice only 1 or 2 hours daily. Do it with honesty and dedication and we'll get there :)
Really appreciate this comment. I’m self-taught and playing on/off (mostly on) for 20 years. Never learned to shred, still play pretty slow, and only recently decided to give in and start working on speed drills with a metronome. Eager to give this a go and see how many of my wasted years will actually pay off 😀
bro, you are an absolute frickin humanoid. Rspect
Wow. The empathy and perspective in that statement really triggered me in a good way. So many online "teachers" make it seem like you wasted your entire life not following their structured courses while in reality, you've been developing your skills every time you picked up the guitar. Bernth's stuff helps take it to the next level and I love how Bernth also showed himself applying more and more structure over the years. It's the reality of how you develop yourself over time. You wouldn't even be doing this exercise if you hadn't played quite a bit already.
Enjoying these 30 day workouts uve been doing. Never seen myself improve so fast in my life lol.

Thats some great progress, and just in 9 days!
@@365daysgone Its been a while so im not quite sure, but about 10-15 minutes a day
@@365daysgone I dont know what to tell u bro, thats how long i was practising for. I practised with the slower tempos for 5 minutes and then tried to increase the speed for 10 minutes. The lick itself is short and quite easy so its not that hard to progress
