Well, he's a maniac. No need to play guitar all day! And I don't think all pros even exercise guitar every day. 1-2hrs/day would probably be plenty to keep a high level of playing by anyone.
@@MaximusAdonicus haha have you ever met anyone who went to music school? The standard daily "practice" time suggested is 6 hrs per day. But that's to maintain a professional level. The better you are at something, the more you have to practice to maintain it. Perhaps it is a bit excessive but it's the mentality pushed in music colleges
@@justkalise9575 Ha, I have not! I'm sure at such school they do that 'cos that's literally their entire subject, lol! Buttttt most (metal) guitarists (pro or not) have not gone to any music schools, they've just learned all the shiz by themselves! But indeed, they've still often practiced something like 4-6hrs a day to #GidGud, according to some interviews I've bumbed into... But that's NOT needed to maintain! As a scientist, I think "The better you are at something, the more you have to practice to maintain it" is bollocks! I think it's actually the opposite! If u are fluid in anything, u can EASILY maintain it with something like 1hr a day or 2hrs if u reeeally wanna sweat about it!
@@MaximusAdonicus I think that's fair and there likely are people who can make it work with just a few hours a day. I think it just depends just HOW good you want to be, you know? I think it's all about what you care about and preferences. If you are just concerned with shredding skills and just physical ability with a guitar, 1-2 hours is fine. If you're practicing and incorporating advanced theory, songwriting, going over specific techniques or also practicing sight reading, etc, it all just adds up. Any instrument is actually just the tip of the iceberg for a musician. There is actually a LOT that goes into music that people don't consider. TLDR, preferences, musicianship is complex, instrument playing is very focused
This is my routine: I wake up in the morning and start working in a non guitar related job stuck to a computer for 9 hours straight until I get out with enough energy to get something to eat and try to get some sleep, to some exercises, study and work on my graduation project, and asking the universe to get the courage and motivation to not drop music from my life and hoping better days come soon.
@@djstringsmusic2994 I know man. I think one of the greatest things a guitar player or any musician is the ability to hang on, wait patiently and get back on track with no hesitation when the time is right. Unfortunately, the world takes a lot from musicians but gives back very little in return, so we need to be diligent and patient.
Right there with you. Some days I can only pick it up for 10 minutes at the end of the day and it feels a bit hopeless. I am working full time and going to college full time and it feels so suffocating sometimes. Never give up on music, it is your gift to the world and to yourself. You are not alone! Better days will come
Man, this is such a wake-up call. It would be easy to be jealous, but if you dont even put in half the work, you don't even have the right to be jealous. You're an inspiration!
It’s crazy that people wonder why “some people are just super human. I’ll never be that good” the reality is hard work and dedication. This man put in the work and he’s getting the results.
As a full time hard working aging 45 years old man with dozen of family routine I still manage to find 1.5-2 hours per day for guitar. Not gonna become professional and never will but at least trying my best to learn guitar. Never give up!!🤘🤘
Bernth, I just wanna say, you have made me realize how much more work I have to do, but you've also really helped me streamline what my practices should look like. Spent so long trying to get fast without working on technique, when practicing technique is how I'm gonna get fast (fast and clean more specifically). I've still got a long way to go but you inspire me so much to just pick up my guitar and keep chipping away until I get to where I wanna be.
I used to think that this would be my dream job: getting to play guitar all day long. Couple of years ago, I was waiting to start my first job out of college. I had a period of about a month, so I decided I was going to play guitar all day. After a couple of days, I was so burned out because I realized how much WORK went into music. Doing music all day is HARD. Much respect to these guys.
That’s how you do it when you are a professional. Hard, hard and daily routine work. All that time and never ends to just get a little better or get your skills up to date. You are a true professional, I think 99 % of the ‘guitar players’ doesn’t understand this. Good job, true respect.
In India we have a culture of starting practice at 4:00 am in morning specially vocals. It's good that you do wake up in the morning to practice. Definitely it's the best time to practice 🤗.
Thank you so much brother,,,, for sharing your knowledge with us,,,am your subscriber many thanks,,,, ,,,,,,,, watching from NAGALAND (India),,,,,, LOVE,,,,,,🎉
i wish i could focus like that.lve been religious about 1 hour a day for about 5 years and usually gett a bout 10 hours a week but a lot of that is just jjammin. Awesome dedication bernth
My routine 5:45 wake up by my 2 year daughter. She is late. Thats nice. 6:00 prepare meals for son, do clothing daughter. 6:45 breakfast takes long with daughter on my lap. 7:00 shower in one min while giving orders to son. 7:30 leave to job and rush. 17:00 leave job to home and rush. 17:45 helping in chaos 18:15 eat 18:45 bring kids to bed 19:30 clean up the house 21:00 im lucky I have some time left. What to to for one our? sport? Nah no energy. Watch yt 22:00 heading to bed knowing that tomorrow will be more or less the same.
My daily routine I wake up late, have breakfast, go to work, come home and grab some food, play the same few basic riffs then game until midnight and go to bed 😂
"musicians are so talented I just don't have what it takes" people when they realize what it takes is consistency and discipline and not natural born talent
It’s crazy how different everyone is, until the sun has gone down it’s like I’ve never played the guitar before. Been playing for 38 years. I just don’t have the coordination to even scratch my face before noon.
I’ve been playing for 7 years and using the same guitar. I read on Reddit people asking about what the best setup for them to fit their style and hands/grip and most replies are “git gud and practice harder” But seeing someone play like this, and I look at the hands and how easily he can press down the strings with apparently barely any effort and I can’t help but wonder if I need a different set of strings or adjust my action. I have a grip strength of 140lbs in both hands, and have a hard time pushing the strings down. After all this time practicing I refuse to believe it’s just me and not my set up. I also played violin for 12 years so I understand form and attention to technique.
Real practice not just try a few practices then keep playing and learning songs you love. Dedication and determination for the long haul, don’t give up guys!
Man! I love your content and use it a lot to improve my technic! Lately I've changed my right hand grip and this helped me A LOT! BUT also I'm experiencing often breaks of the 1st string. Guitar technic suggested that maybe I'm pushing strings too much. I see you also have a pretty snappy picking and wondering if you have/had a string breaking issue?
My routine: I wake up and then work (code) for straight 9-10 hours (sometimes 11 if my client delivery comes up) than even though my body demands rest but I would shake it work on my guitar techniques ( alternative picking, legato, major scale) for 1.5 to 2 hours only praying to God for blessing me with this every day
can you give us a more specific practice routine? I always sit down with intent to practice and get lost trying to figuring out what to do to practice and end up jamming
do you ever get the "zoned out" runners high feeling while playing? This is based in anandamide metabolism and some don't get it, but many musicians do.
My routine goes like: Wake up, forget i even own a guitar, take a nap then realize i need to practice but then say ill do it later, then i take another nap and repeat
And this is why you hear all the stories of your favorite guitarists being inseparable from their guitars when they were coming up. 99% practice, 1% theory.
I usually make the bed, shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth, and head to the gym first. But I do a very similar warm up, and I'm not a pro, just a lifer.
I think this just goes to show how much work it really takes to get to/maintain the professional level as a guitarist.
Well, he's a maniac. No need to play guitar all day! And I don't think all pros even exercise guitar every day. 1-2hrs/day would probably be plenty to keep a high level of playing by anyone.

You've got this. If you give up on guitar, you'll be back in a couple years and you'll wish you never stopped.

As a decent guitarist, who doesn’t practice diligently enough, this is inspiring. Your playing is so clean.
He lives for the guitar, I'll never get near this level
Never say never! Practice, practice, practice!

Not with that attitude.

When i open my eyes in the morning, getting up from the bed took my 3 hours.

🔥Can you please do a full video breaking down this practice routine🙏🙏... feels really great.❤
Dude, you are such a badass. Thanks for all the content you create.
You're routine works. You are 💯 percent awesome brother ❤️🎸❤️
Incredible. Great work ethic.
Your crotchet rest is awesome 😎
Great vids man, I’m in my 3rd month and you have helped me a lot already. 🤘🏻
My routine is warm up the entire day and once my hands are awake I learn something new for about 15 to 20 minutes then call it a day
Hard works pays off my friend
My mind is blown and humbled I am. Thanks champ 🏆
Grind dude 🤘
You’re definitely in my top three content creators and guitarists

@@uroboricno usually everyone around is cooperative
Your amazing! Keep it going

Incredible player

i have not been practicing hard enough 😊
YOU JUST TRIGGERED ME WITH THAT SOUND
I really don't wanna change how I've always held a pick
Amazing skills ! My fave ! 🎶💕🎶
Just subscribed. Great videos
Video is just posted and there's already a bot. Man I think half of the internet is bots.
Sad times
dead internet theory
Half? More like 90%
Dedicated and deserves success what a great player .

22:00 heading to bed knowing that tomorrow will be more or less the same.
It’s very mind draining at times to have long practice sessions I’ve come to find out recently, fixing your diet and exercising will help
My daily routine I wake up late, have breakfast, go to work, come home and grab some food, play the same few basic riffs then game until midnight and go to bed 😂
Wow this was very specific and helpful
I train about same, though i like to start it with quicker movements and invert right and left hands. Do not forget about teeths picking training too.
Good efort for special playing guitar.

Why is papa so cute when he just wakes up ☺️
God I wish I didn't have a job.
Welcome to the real world.
wow, it isn't like this guy's job is actually music and he's only doing it for a hobby.
is this supposed to be an insult?
Dudes eating a whole bowl of shreddybrex before sunrise!!
If it wasn't for my busy work man.i want to practice that technique really bad

"At the moment I start at 5:30 in the morning" And this is why I'm not a professional guitarist. I simply can't wake up that early
legend guitarist
That’s insane!
I love when you end up doing some cardio exercises
Real practice not just try a few practices then keep playing and learning songs you love. Dedication and determination for the long haul, don’t give up guys!

It’s not even 7 in the morning and I’m thinking “no thanks”
I want someone to do a video on guitar action as a lot of these UA-camrs have it insanely low
This is inspiring and a kick up the bum
I remember the good old days before commitments and adulting came into play 😂
your practice, Is my Life goal mmfr
Me: Yeah I just warm up with some Pentatonic noodling for 45 minutes for my 5 minute practice session…
This is what I want life to be later in life
You have the ideal life fren.
Im going to start bringing my guitar to work.
The only thing I do at 5:30 is dreaming about a new ghitar
How to stay motivated to play this every day
I think Berth is a reincarnation of Beethoven or something like that 😅, he is so virtuous, he doesn't make mistakes while he play guitar 🤘🏻🎸
Man your hair is amazing
Respect!
Did he just warm up with a Jason Richardson lick-
can you give us a more specific practice routine? I always sit down with intent to practice and get lost trying to figuring out what to do to practice and end up jamming

Теперь понимаю, насколько хорошо импровизирует Глеб Олйник в контрасте с Бёрнз-ом
After seeing this I might as well stay at intermediate
Just start with scales bro
My routine goes like:
Wake up, forget i even own a guitar, take a nap then realize i need to practice but then say ill do it later, then i take another nap and repeat
Bro I want an electric guitar version of your Fuego. Please 🥺 🥺
how I wish to be like you.. but can never, GOD OF GUITAR
mine is just about making things up.
How would you practice if you would have been playing an hour a day?
Smaller sets of the same stuff
I'm playing guitar most of the day everyday myself 🤘🎸
damn i like it
Key moment: "play guitar for the rest of the day."
And this is why you hear all the stories of your favorite guitarists being inseparable from their guitars when they were coming up. 99% practice, 1% theory.
No shot you wake up at 5:30 to do arpeggios. No shot.
I usually make the bed, shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth, and head to the gym first. But I do a very similar warm up, and I'm not a pro, just a lifer.
Wake. Eat. Play. Sleep. Repeat. So simple! And here I am taking my kids to school and sports and cook and clean like a fool.
Bro, the last piece was a little bit funky! We need more funk and fusion plss
