I’ve been following you for over 5 years, and have applied the knowledge you provide and my level of playing has improved tremendously. I have a strict practice routine everyday. And you are right it’s not what your practice it’s how you practice. Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos!!🤘
100% agree
Love you..

You are an excellent teacher. I love how you talk about your own struggles, what you’ve done to tackle your struggles and demonstrate the results for all to see and hear which clearly show that what you are saying is not BS because the results speak volumes for themselves. I’ve played guitar for nearly 25 years and considered myself good and I’ve been told I’m good by everyone who has seen and heard me play. But , I never realized just how much I don’t know until I started watching your posts for the past year . Arpeggio sweeps of course being my favorite cus I just love the way they sound . And thanks to the advice you share ,,, I’m shredding the hell out of my arpeggio sweeps faster than I EVER thought I could and I absolutely love the way it feels as they just flow through my fingers. You’re the real deal bro🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸
I've played for 25 years and discovered your videos maybe last week. I only learned from tab so having the exercises actually explained was very helpful. Thank you.
When I stumble across sweep picking techniques by other people I'm always amazed on the approach of those. It's true for you too. I got a completely different sweeping motion, pick handeling, muting techniques with both hands and I even include string skipping in regular sweeps.
I started out sweep picking with no lessons, nobody could teach me this and the internet weren't a big thing at the time...at least for me, so I came up with very unique techniques for this by trial and error, teaching it to myself. Always a pleasure to see the same result with very different approaches from very different people. Amazing video, keep it up 💜
Learning guitar in my late thirties and these videos have been SUPER helpful. Thank you for all that you do!
I’m a new Patreon member and so pleased with all the lessons and advice! I’ve been stuck in a rut for years and really appreciate the work you’ve done in these lessons for us ! Practising this stuff will really move me to the next level! Thanks Bernth!
Welcome to our community!! 🙂
I will definitely subscribe to the GOLD VIP level one in the next couple of days
I am very new to this and know nothing yet about guitar and I already bought my first Ibanez JS 😅
I am really hoping that between Bernth help & lessons and hard work practicing i will improve my guitar skill techniques
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT
LOVE from an Algerian 🇩🇿 FAN
Thank you sir for this video I think I've learned it's very helpful to beginner like me God bless you
You are amazing, thanks for the awesome tips Bernth! You make taking on such a complicated instrument so much easier to understand!
Bernth, I just wanted to say that while I enjoy the style of music you play, it is not the style I want to learn.
But the beauty of your channel is that your tips always include TONS of stuff that is useful to all players, no matter the style they prefer.
thank you!
did I somehow miss the random German word?
Great tips, thank you. Also, something that has worked for me is to take a moment at the end of the practice to have fun with some music I've already learnt. That makes me feel the progress better and keeps me motivated to continue practicing.
I’ve been subbed for a few months now . I’m also a part of your Patreon so thank you for that making that nice and affordable it’s much appreciated. I actually was having this thought today about improvisation and I’m glad this one came up in the algorithm it’s working!🤘 everything you went over is exactly what I was going over in my head all day today and it’s making a lot of sense so thank you. I know this feedback is pleasing to hear so cheers🤘🤘
I've been playing guitar for 19 years and this was such a good reminder to practice this precision.
I started to play electric guitar last month, and I feel extremely lucky that I found your channel. After I complete the very basic concepts, I'll definitely join the patreon community. Thank you for inspiring me.
I've been playing guitar for 7 years. Have been stuck for about 4 years. No progress, confused by medocre/hard riffs, almost lost interest, telling this isnt for me. Started watching your videos 2 months ago, implemented all the stuffs you taught, my skills skyrocketed. Thank you mate!
Bernth, the tips that you are sharing here are so crucial to getting to that next level. Keep up the great work - happy shredding!
I find it hard to stay inspired sometimes. I feel if I can’t play guitar for 4 or so days my learning regresses about 3 months but this very unique approach to improvement has me going again! Thank you 🙏🏼
I think it's Metheny who says "If I miss one day of playing I can tell. If I miss two days the band can tell. If I miss three days the audience can tell."
Speaking for myself, I rarely miss a day. It's important to keep it going. It's a lifestyle.
Just make a commitment to play 10 minutes EVERY day. And when that 10 minutes elapses you'll be warming up, making things work nicely, and ultimately keep on playing for a good while longer.
If it's family commitments like young kids, get up an hour before everyone to have your own private time. That works!
I'm all in! Been watching your videos for awhile now and definitely appreciate the pace and breakdowns of the lessons
I like that Bernth circles back on subjects like this as he grows and gets better. He's had like two others on this subject before, but each video, the content gets better and the reminder is well warranted.
I only started playing guitar a few weeks ago. I study alone. Of the educational videos on TH-cam, your teaching style was the best. :)
I love your lessons. Always fun to play along to. Thank you for all you do
Subbed... I've been playing for over 15 yrs and ur exercises still help me a lot. Something I couldn't play before I can now play ... Thx for your exercises
I really appreciate you teaching us so many important things that no one else bothers to, filling in the gaps in our minds is a really good as we learn new things
Thank you Bernth, you're a good teacher.
I use some of your excercises even though I play jazz guitar; most of them are too advanced for me, but I tried the "spider" and my fingering and speed have improved after only a few days.
I was one of those doing the spider wrong all these years!
I love your video editing, I can see you put a lot of work into your videos.
A protip from my practice: struggle with a tricky part from a cover/something you composed? Make it into an excercise: record the backing track, transcribe the part in MIDI and program it in your DAW in increasing tempos. Of course it won't replace your technique excercises but it's still fun to master something that actually makes sense and which you can use right away
Some pros only practice actual music that they need to play, no exercises that are not part of their repertoire.
I feel this is a pretty good time saver.
@@jfo3000 definitely! There's no time for exercises when you need to master a 2 hour set in a handful of rehearsals.
Blue steel strings duh those other ones are for pussies
@@jfo3000 no
HOW THE HELL do you manage to upload the perfect solution video the exact time i begin to struggle with the topic you explain?!? Thanks for the upload man, amazing work as always. I really haven't found a better guitar teacher than you.
I tried the straight hand technique and it made navigating the fretboard a lot easier I'll be checking out more of your vids
By trying the first exercise in this video, I just realized my ring finger is dead 😅. It barely responds while trying to move it. Been doing this exercise for some time now, in the wrong way. I taught I had it under my belt, now I`m reconsidering. This is challenging, but only with challenges we grow! Thank you!
I was taught the wrong way this exercise is actually good and difficult.
After one week of this exercise my ring finger moves!
Your channel says it all bro. You know what we are struggling into.
U do what i need to learn for improve, and being displined again. Very thanks.
Awesome. Arthritic mastery is my new goal. This is my new daily morning workout. I have to play guitar early in the day so my hands will not be stiff and painful throughout. The importance of this is IMMENSE!
Dude, you're a god.
I have improved more by watching your videos and practicing the way you teach in a month than in years of just fucking around on the guitar. (starting to actually use a metronome helped too, admittedly lol)
Thanks man
I like this dude's attitude. He's a true teacher as well as an expert musician
Dude your skill level is impressive. I just started learning to play guitar and wow I had no idea how hard it would be. Everything feels so foreign and out of place. I’m enjoying it and planning on sticking to it. I appreciate your videos they do an awesome job breaking things down.
Joining this AWESOME community is the best thing I have done for my playing guitar. Thank you.
Same. I recommend the patreon
I am 53 years old and FULL ON METAL. I've played since I was 12 and I am now making great gains on my guitar.
ive just come across your site, and wow, that is mind blowing. Thank you for the intro.
Great video and tutorial I think the spider techniques are definitely the most helpful for shredding and learning speed on guitar
Great tips! I'm not really into metal guitar, but I'm glad I found your channel. I'll definitely will be applying these into my practice :)
You're awesome man, thanks for all the hard work
Wow I love your channel. I believe that I have an amazing guitar teacher, however from time to time I do struggle with an issue and your channel is helpful
Thank you for sharing this with me.l am hoping you have this on DVD cause l would love to have this
Best online course until the next one. Respect.
Excellent elegant exercises. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Just what I needed. Great lesson mate.
Super Tipps, wie immer! Kannst du auch mal ein Follow Along Video nur mit Chords machen? Also z.B. A7, E7, D7 usw :P
THANK YOU i needed that improv one
Bernth vc é incrivel gostaria de ver uma mini video aula de guitarra vc é sensacional
this was fun, and for a beginner gives me some great ideas about the next steps, subbed!
Thanks for this video, really great tips and exercises😄
Overlapping the notes so simple so smart thank you for the upload brother
dude your videos are so helpful i havent played since hs when i was in a band just started again a couple months ago after 13 years and ive already got better than i was at certain things thank u so much for the amazing content
Damn! I've been doing the chromatic exercise wrong all along! Well, maybe not wrong but the easier way of doing it. And the improvisation bit was spot on with my situation. Thanks! New subscriber here and i think i will stay. XD
this is the best guitar Chanel I’ve seen in my 10 years of playing guitar
Amazing video, such a great teacher you are! Would love it more if you slow more down and the exercises cause sometimes this beginner can't really follow or catch up.
Been playing for 20 years and never heard of that first one. The spider practice routine. That’s awesome.
I've been stuck at the same skill level for YEARS. I've spent that time focused on writing music, but not developing my guitar technique. The music I wrote was ok. I'm happy with it. But I want to write better music. I'm now realizing that when it comes to writing music, I'm limited by my guitar skill level. Your channel has inspired me to put in the work and really tighten up my playing and expand my understanding of the fretboard. Danke schön!
Love this lesson!
Just now picking up guitar and you’re videos have been very helpful thank you 🤙🏽
Guitar god in the making! Skeleton, don’t give up!
Bernth I love your videos and your an amazing teacher and guitarist. I would really appreciate if you can make a video about selective picking like the technique tosin abasi uses a lot.
unfortunately i wasn't aware that you need to have giant spidery octopus fingers in order to play guitar so i just spent several hundred dollars on an instrument that's physically impossible for me to play with little baby carrot fingers
Nah you got this !
Sell the guitar and find one that suits you better
fingers don't matter much since the flexibility of our joints and tendons are very good, so keep playing until you don't feel uncomfortable
@@eightinnn I conquer
GIGANTIC L on this comment ….Seems like all you’re missing is a dose of confidence sir or ma’am
This is super helpful! Thanks!
Great tutorial videos..im a new subscriber..thank you sir..more power.😊
I just play guitar 3 weeks and your exercises I dont know how, but just watching you playing them I understand better how it works)
One thing that insanely helped me with right hand speed bursts, was learning the pattern of Bleed by Meshuggah.
You helped me with holding my pick! I can now play to the best of my ability with multiple right hand positions!(Still a novice but small improvements are motivating)
Thank you for your teaching sir💖💖
YOU sir, have single handedly corrected a decade of bad technique for me.....which was the entire reason for my tendonitis. I corrected, and so did my elbow. Thank you and GREAT channel.
Thanks for sharing this info man
Although i cant join patreon but the mindset of practicing that u offered was AWESOME
Really great tips. ❤❤❤
I liked the repeated rhythmic figure exercise idea. Also liked the other ones. Thanks.
Awesome great. Playing guitar. So sound great audio. 👍.
You are great, love your vidoer,, your backing track, are super. Thanks a lot. Regards Henrik
Amazing. Thank you so muuch
Dude, you're awesome. Thanks!
I'm so glad I found your channel. Something finally clicked after watching this vid.
My god I am almost 40 learned chromatic exercises at 14. No one ever got it this specific. Got faster more endurance but always felt like I was hitting a low ceiling Bc I didn’t know these specifics. You either have a great teacher or you are one. Gave up guitar late 90’s and became a full time drummer Bc my guitar playing had hit a wall was driving me nuts. Now I am middle aged and getting over a lot obstacles Bc of the internet- small town local teachers only can get you so far that’s all we had in the 90’s. After 2 years it was hard for me to find anyone to learn anything from they all taught stuff I could figure out by ear. Finally starting to progress over the hump- technique is good but I am more concerned with finding my own sound at this age. I stopped wanting to play super fast when I got sick of listening to it, I think the day comes for us eventually. I still respect it but I want to learn to play more melodic played fast my whole life. I have seen prog guys very famous ones struggle to hold a bend for a few notes- that’s when I realized fast isn’t the only technique we have to practice. A guy who shreds effortless then bends and drops the note “shwek” shakes his head like an amateur would! I like metal, but prog metal ehh it’s getting stale and a lot of these guys are sloppy as hell just play so fast no one realizes. Slow down your liquid theaters listen carefully lol. I had a tape deck that slowed down held pitch in the 90’s there has to be an app like that right? It might be a sad day when you realize your heroes don’t hit every note and no one has any freaking idea- at least not on albums prior to the auto tune era. Certain players have always been sloppy and overrated though- Page maybe the most of all time but his riffs were still killer. Just don’t try to learn heartbreaker note for note without guessing some notes. Or do like me play the first few bars and the end make up the middle.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
Thank you for making me understand my mistake 1:22 🔥👏
Thank You!🙏🤘🤘
Finally found a channel who showed how to hold fingers position in a right manner.Before I was confused that which way I should keep my fingers whether diagonal or straight.. But my fingers are paining and struggling lot more once I tried to keep in straight as u shown.But I will practice and give a try.. moreover my fingers are short not long 😢
I've found that composition, especially trying to emulate specific artists (one at a time, once each and then moving on), has contributed to ease of improv. The other major thing is playing other instruments... it gets you more focussed on the music in your head than the rehearsed licks available to you.
Man, your channel save my guitar road
What made right hand alternate picking speed click for me was just a TON of Fear Factory and Divine Heresy. I used to play that all the time before, and Dino's riffs and just jaming along made me able to, at least, riff very very fast
Really well explained
Thanks mate 🤟
Thanks master 🔥👍
Why didn't you started recording videos like this, 20 years ago, when i needed them the most. :PPP Thanks man.
Awesome my man
Glad I came across this video.
Excellent monsieur le guitariste 👍
Great content as always. Love your channel. Just wondering would you make how you make your content including how you edit and place guitar tab on your video etc,..
The best learning❤
bernth thanks u solved problems that i didnt even know i had
"You aren't supposed to sound perfect in your practice and if you always do, you might not be pushing yourself or getting better"
maaaan this is what i needed to hear!!
You really are amazing Bernth little do people know that mastering the basics can go a long way! Thanks for your amazing videos it really impacted my playing, as a result I got addicted to playing the guitar!
Just just just awesome sir...
very good tutorial my boss
Bernth, I really struggle with keeping a good hand position on the higher frets. I have good positioning between fret 2 and 9 but higher is very uncomfortable for mye hands. Any tips?
i subscribed because your teachings are exactly what i have been practicing too, been doing that but i guess we all have differences.
I looked many channels for guitar practicing i think i found the best
