At what time you go to sleep if you can wake up in 4:30 xd?
Hey brother please do a video on scammers. There's ppl doing scams in your name with your pics on TH-cam and telegram. There are other subs asking also that have been approached by the scammers. Please . Some one not having delt with scammers before will fall for it . A short video is all we are asking for. Scammers need to be stopped. I messaged you on messanger on Facebook. With pics . Oh yah the other scammer I delt with was someone acting like Dave mustain. I said send me a pic if it's you and I got a pic of Tom Hanks. Hahah .
Hello Bernth.
Please tell us about the white pick you are holding. What pick is that?
@@noelalvaris3374 I'd also like to know. It looks like an Earnie ball prodigy pick though
Can you play master of puppets
meanwhile i stay up until 4:30am trying to understand the phrygian scale
You're doing it backwards.
So true bruh
😂 right? Geez..I understand it now after several years.
Play Aminor scale keeping the root of E on your licks..bam...instant Marty loll
Sounds pretty self-disciplined to me.
This man really is out to be the best guitarist in the world. Cheers, bernth!
Edit: I said Bernth's "out to be" the best guitarist. Never called him the best. Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Ichika Nito and Tim Henson are all fantastic guitarist but let's not compare and make a mess of everything.
The current "god" in my opinion
Yup
@@symphonicdualityband okay I agree this guy can pick the guitar fast but to me he has not got any style of his own, he's a hack and he thinks picking fast makes it good, no not for me ,he can go take a flying leap for all I care because if someone wants to play a guitar, make whatever Noise We want to make as long as they're happy with it that is their prerogative this guy just pisses me off because he thinks you have to be shredding every time, it's ridiculous I think he's a bit of an idiot
@@tactrix1h differente genres and playstyles, I don't think is good to compare them
Best at altetnate picking, yes.
Bernth, dude, I need you to see this. THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY GUITAR PLAYING LIFE! I am no where near where you are right now but I am so driven to get there. Waking up at 0430 every day and putting in a solid 1 to 1 and a half hours every day for the last 3 weeks has gotten me so much further in my playing. Thank you for this video. I'm a lifetime subscriber and will join the patreon soon.
how is it now ?
Some people wake up early to work out. This legend wakes up early to shred guitar. Rock on man! 🤘
This is work xD
@@matija3791 he means excercising
@@tr0in these are exercises ;)
You are wrong on one thing Luke, Bernth doesn't just shred guitar. He goes past complete annihilation. All the way to completely vaporization.
“I want to be able to effortlessly play anything that I can dream up.” -a true musician
On a serious note, you are exceptionally motivational
The patreon community is motivational too like personal we actually support each others progress it's so great
He is! Great videos!
My favorite part of playing at oh my God o'clock . Everyone is asleep . The quiet compliments the sound of my guitar ... I am the only person on Earth that wants to rock at 8 o'clock in the morning . If I wasn't , I would be preparing for a morning jam session now , wouldn't I .
The fact that you have been able to consistently hold a 14-hour daily work schedule is truly incredible! The skill you have is well deserved!
Man, I have downloaded all your Patreon exercises, practices, workouts everything, I even have a partition called Bernth, but this workout really got me, specifically workout 2 I couldn't stop playing for almost 4 hours. Man, you are my hero
So glad I joined patreon, I'm on day 4 of the hand synchronization course and already hitting my runs alot cleaner,you have a great teaching technique
I am up at 4 am every morning and love to practice quietly while I watch the sunrise! Bernth, your discipline is exceptional. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Peace from Costa Rica
I'm not a metal player, but man I'm amazed at your skills. I've been playing rock mostly for 25years, since in was maybe 10. Recently I decided I wanted to try the acoustic, and fingerpicking specifically. Since I rarely sleep more thsn a couple hours, I starting practicing a couple weeks ago 3 hours a night when everyone's sleeping. I got to level I thought I'd never reach after only a couple weeks. Hard work pays off.
Your commitment to the instrument and getting better is absolutely amazing.
I've leveled up so much watching your videos. You are the best teacher and one of the most kick ass guitarists ever! Thanks man! 🤘😁🤘
Ooh Vienna... Love that song. I dig your self control and dedicated mindset. Your channel has become more than just guitar techniques and exercises. It's food for the soul. Peace and much love brother
Your playing is so tight and impressive. It almost seems fun to practice all these scales and technical exercises! Will surely have a look at your courses later on
subbed. love your dedication man! rock on!
This was amazingly inspiring and helpful! To have this compartmentalized! TRAMENDOUSLY inspiring!
You always inspired me to take the excercises seriously!!!! Thank you for this and also for giving me experience to playing my guitar as I want, exactly!! In fact, I'm going to start my routine early today!☺
I'm passing by to thank you for your work!! It's amazing what you do guitarists here.
I haven't subscribed to your patreon yet, I hope to do so soon, but your content here on the channel has helped me develop my technique, for example this video, which I'll have to rewatch more than once to absorb everything.
Thank you very much!!
Hugs from Brazil
This is really motivating. Thanks!!!
Hard work with well deserved results. There's a reason Bernth is so accomplished
Man’s already a G.O.A.T and it’s very inspiring to see him reaching for new heights!
Does GOAT mean something different now?
@@willyjameshuff Greatest of all time
Nooice, grats on leveling up. 🤘
Superhuman is an understatement, @Bernth. You're God-like! It's so inspiring!
1:33 Bro turned on Mozart mode on a guitar.
Nice video, very helpful and fun to watch. I really like your content man. I started playing guitar like 9 months and your channel helped me a lot.
I love your dedication! Practice makes perfect!
Perfect practice makes perfect.
Practices makes permanent.
Justinguitar?
Awesome playing! Thank you sir!
Mad respect dude! You are a legend!
Dude, you rock!! Thanks for the tips.
Video title is admirable, great effort man! 🙌🙏🤙
Good Lord Berth. That's the fastest accurate playing I've seen in a long time. Jason Richardson might want to take notice.
Shawn Lane would be proud
Amazing stuff!
Bernth, you're very much an inspiration. I am waking up at 5:30 and going to bed at 22:00, and I found that especially after quitting alcohol 2 years ago, my mind sometimes goes on to have the life of its own when I want to sleep, especially when I'm on a work trip that is across multiple time zones. My company sponsors a sleep/meditation app that I don't want to mention the name of coz might be perceived as an ad but it has LeBron James and Optimus Prime telling you sleep stories. I never finish a sleep story. Also, I will be in Wienna in September, can I see you gigging somewhere?
Thank you for all these practices I wanna be able to shred near your level one day dude
Thank you for helping me push myself practice more
I’ve been enjoying my guitar so much lately
Thank you dude!!
This isn't exactly the type of music I want to learn or play, but that doesn't mean it's not impressive or that I wouldn't benefit from learning this. Recently (after starting to watch your videos) I've been feeling like I'm worse than I felt before. Mainly because you point out the mistakes that I see myself doing. So currently I'm working on playing easier lines cleaner and faster.
I'm not exactly a metal guitarist either, but I find that Bernth's advice an exercises really help your overall technique, which can then translate to any genre. I also remember feeling like I was playing worse when I first started watching the videos: I think because Bernth really puts technique under the microscope and makes you look at the way you play, it takes a while to digest and adjust. For example, for a while no way I held the pick felt right! But once I was able to adjust I could really start to see the benefits. Something like thinking about escape angles will obviously make you need to play slower at first to think about it, but once you can build back up to your normal speed it will be so much cleaner.
Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Pretty sure Bernth has sold his soul for these chops 😈 🎸
Nah I heard selling your soul does not require you to have all that hard work discipline and dedication to achieve success.. What a stupid decision, all the greatest success in the world is never worth your soul.. it's funny though if your being sarcastic..
How's your back after practicing for a couple of hours? Do you do back and neck stretches before and after?
I noticed that our thoughts about the technique and the game converge, and I've only been playing for two years ;) so I'm on the right track)) thank you!!
Awesome! I have not even been playing but I want to buy this!
You and Marty Friedman are the two guitarrists that inspire me to keep going
its funny because you inspired me to get up at 430am to practice but i do 30minutes fasted cardio first, before guitar practice
Your hard core bro
Wish i could get away with that much practice
Ill think of ya when i get up at 4:30 every morning to go work
You beat me I start at 5am until 9am 6 days a week. Been doing that for almost a year now. My favourite time, no distractions. One of those hours is spent on your excellent exercises.
That's some legendary dedication.
this is really inspiring, God bless you.
Now that's dedication!
You encourage me to play my guitar the hardest thing I know is eruption, I love your videos!
dude i've been looking EXTENSIVELY for motivation practice at SIX am. not 4.30 but babysteps. glad i found dis and the fact you share a similar mentality with clear explanations. that's studying like a MASTER.
awsome channel my dude i just sub !!
The morning run you run after you play guitar???? That’s brilliant dude
aint no shortcut.......love your videos \m/..
Crazy dedication
as a dentist, I can say your smile rocks! I like how you included the brushing in the video lol
but seriously you rock dude
this changed my life thx
Respect man! It is about muscle memory. The same you can practise with singing. Greetings from the netherlands!
hi bernth, im sturggling with this question for a lot of years now: when im playing fast notes in the "upper" area of the neck (fret 1-8 or so) i have to place my hand parallel to the fretboard (so the area between thumb and indexfinger does not touch the neck). only by doing so i have enough stretch to reach all notes. with this handposition, i cant really do bendings or put in some emotions like vibrato.
When im playing in the higher area of the neck or notes that are closer together, i will always have the area between thumb and index finger resting on the neck, so i have "maximum" control over the notes.
is it "normal" to have some kind of transition between those position? i'd never play blues licks with my hand parallel to the fretboard and im not able to shred in the first five frets with my hand "grabbing" the neck.
hi bernth, nochmal auf deutsch falls ich es auf englisch zu schlecht beschreibe :D
Shredden z.B. im fünften Bund klappt eigentlich nur, wenn ich die Hand in einer relativ neutralen Position zum Griffbrett halte (Daumen als stützte und die anderen Finger parallel zum Griffbrett). Wenn ich allerdings was mit mehr Gefühl spielen will, kann ich das unmöglich mit dieser Haltung machen. Ich muss dann immer den Hals "packen", sodass der weiche Bereich zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger den hals umschließen. Wechselst du da auch hin und her oder hast du dich auf die "neutrale" Position trainiert?
viele Grüße!
One thing first: are you sure you are counting the frets starting at 1 being the widest in between frets bars/markers? Lowest pitch on your string is fret 1 and increasing pitch increments frets numbers ending where you are describing. Over the body of the guitar. Frets end usually between 20 and 24, for instance most acoustics have 20, most electrics have 22 or 24. Some even have the wacky 23. I got my first Strat in 1993, 21 frets, and my baby. I love all of my guitars equally, but her more equally.
Tks sir! I will do this tomorow
you are a source of inspiration for all guitar players
This dude is just amazing
I've been getting up at that time for 6months and its changed my life. You can do so much shit before anyone has NEED of you, no distractions, no phone calls , no emails, no one telling u that they need to do something
This is a great video for everyone to watch. Not just guitarists. I have never slept well and for years(decades...) it used to really frustrate me. For the past few years, when I wake early(or cant sleep) Ill go work on designs(graphic design) - either current projects or give myself a hard project to work on. Today Iv been up since 4:30 (its almost 7am) and Iv got three projects mostly finished(from start) and learnt a new technique. The "10000 hour" theory requires lots of early starts I feel.
Hey BERNTH, does the pick you use really make much of a difference? I have never had an 'expensive' guitar pick, usually just using whatever is around (mostly match picks), just curious if is worth buying those angled picks.
Pick type makes a huge difference! Try different picks and see what works best for you, and remember that different pick materials and different stiffness/thickness profiles will be better or worse depending on the type of picking you are doing (shredding vs strumming for example).
That's the biggest issue with any type off hobby. From Music to Sports. Many people don't understand that hours of daily study is needed. I’m an old Alpine Slalom Competitor. I skied for 9 years before I started high level racing.
I can learn guitar faster than many because of 50 years of Violin.
It still takes daily practice. Daily Spider exercises, scales, practice practice practice. Plus theory.
Well done Bernth. You are a fantastic example of Professionalism.
Pretty amazing 🤘
Meu chapa, isso é insano!
"4:30 a.m."
A new-school guy with old-school ideas and work ethics....Friggin awesome !!
I loved the reference to The Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask, excellent video, thank you very much and greetings from Mexico 🎭🖤😎🤘🏻👌🏻
uff gracias, por la motivacion siempre
i love u so much bro, thanks very much
That is nothing short of amazing. You are so good. I have a hard time playing 4 beats per minute! Hahahahah
Your sleeves are dope.
You're a great guitar player. Chears from Perú.
Ce gars a une technique de folie...quel boulot!
lol 😂 I’m going back to guitar after 20yrs rusty and thinking how to practice haha I can’t wake up this early. Good to see it worked well with u! Is that more on steady wrist movement /mild quick back n forth twist, right?
Level up ~ Right on! Totally in the vortex eh' UFC training for guitar. Fight!
Hey Bernth I was wondering, I'm am an absolute beginner and wanted to know if your Patreon has any lessons for people like me? I only know a few chords and I am still having trouble just switching between them so I'm really new to this. I would like to join your Patreon but idk because your lessons seem like the are for people much more advanced then me. Where you reply or not it's ok I appreciate you taking time just to read my comment, I love your music your are an amazingly skilled guitarist and now that I have been playing and realize how hard this is and I only watch your video in awe with nothing but respect for you. Thank you for the free content you have provided, it is very much appreciated. Your the best!!!
Brother Bernth, this inspires me to take my leads to the next level, so thank you!
I tend to fly by the seat if my pants for much of my soloing. But if I’m to be brutally honest with myself, I sometimes use ‘being creative on the fly’ as an excuse to not dig in deeper with precision, if that makes sense.
Big respect
Bring your fresh dreams to the fretboard
awesome playing my friend! what guitar pick is that? it looks interesting :D
Great stuff. Congrats. Do you ever get injured? RSI etc.
HOWDY! I have a question for your wonderful community. I'm buying my second electric guitar. I started with a squire strat, but I'm starting to get into a start playing metal because I finally have the skills to limp through the songs I enjoy. The strat with the single humbucker just doesn't get the chugs that I'm looking for. So I've been looking at SG style guitars instead. I think the double humbucker setup will be better in the low ends and will help me achieve the right tone to get a proper chug.
I've narrowed my choices down to two guitars but am having trouble making a decision fearing I will buy the wrong one. Would you rather a schecter omega-6 or an epiphone classic worn p-90. Would love some input for guitars @ around the 500 mark.
thank you for sharing your lifetime 🤟🎸🤟❤
I work a day job. I started doing this and i play everyday now. Waking up earlier is a great way to start the way also
*why do you don’t rest your hand on bridge or somewhere near? How do u master floating hand picking and no mistakes?*
This is probobly the defintion of dedication
What a great guy.
Can you please make some lessons on the 2 scale you played in the beginning
What guitar pick you using?
Cool video big fan
I had a pretty good practise routine, with the exception that it was the last thing before sleeping. I'm a night person, so often it's staying awake until 04:30 :D I rarely have to be at work before noon though. Practising before sleeping has the benefit that my brain kind of makes it work while I sleep and the next day it goes better.
I've been crazy busy for the last year so my practising isn't what it used to be, but I would like to get back to it, because I enjoy it so much. I don't often even have a goal in it, I just like to play. Daily practise is a very good thing if you want to improve.
This guy is the BEAST
You're obviously insane. And fn great .so, props, scarecrow
I'm usually up at 4:30 am everyday anyway due to back pain so I may as well start practicing at that hour haha thanks Bernth haha
wanna see your ideas and execution in fusion improvisation song so much.
very nice!!!!
Woah, ur technique is amazing! I'm usually just getting home from work at 9pm, make dinner & prep for the next day. I tend to do my practice from 10pm-midnight or 11pm -1am, sleep and get up at 8am. Similar routine but backwards! 😂 Night owl VS Early bird!
kudos!
