Hard work and dedication....something I lack with guitar. Hehe Well done, you.
This is a very inspirational video! thank you for sharing it.
wait what that was you?
Hey, nice work in Belphegor!
This is cool, an amazing progression
Im Jerome from Philippines, I love your videos that's why I subscribed your channel. Your right don't stop believing and follow your dreams. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills to us. God bless you always. ☝🙏
Bernth's progression from 2003 to 2005 seems like what an average guitarist would progress within 5 years. That's impressive.
He likely put 5 hours of practice in 2 years time........ compared to the average person. His whole point of the video is follow your passion and block out the haters.
Yup ! 😮
It's been around 10 years, and I'm still dumb at playing.
@Nicholas You need to practice and believe that one day you'll get results. It may be that because I'm a younger guitarist, I'm able to get some progress and results within 1 or 2 weeks of practice. Good luck though.
@Nicholas I should also say that leads are not "harder" than rhythm. Usually guitarists start out by playing the basic riffs and rhythms, and only later try playing solos and leads. Some people think that it's harder simply because they don't put as much time practicing and playing solos compared to riffs.
"To be honest... nobody really believed in me when I first started out"
This was so heartbreaking, because the same thing happened to me...
Same
who gives a fuck, if you like guitar then play it
It's worse when your parents don't
I mean, you're a 13 yr old kid with a multi-hundred dollar guitar and prob amp too. Someone must've believed in you enough. Kids go through phases, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that this guy's parents thought that's what it'd be. The percentage of kids who practice instruments at a young age then give up pre/during adulthood is a majority. Not many of them are joining touring bands at age 19.
@@Brandon-bc5um You are just assuming that though. It's a probability, but not necessarily true. We don't know his story.
Picking up the guitar at 23 years old wish I would have picked it up a lot younger but this is very motivational, my love for music is such a drive wish me luck everyone!
Same with me bros! I started learning guitar at 25 and I don't have that experience; jamming with friends at their houses when I was a teenager like most kids no I don't experienced that. And btw I bought an electric guitar like 5-6 months ago, I'm still suck really but however I keep myself on the track just play/learn slowly because we'll get there eventually :)
Good luck metal Bros 🤘🏻🔥
I'm 34 and just starting! Good luck.
Good luck dude. I've started at 21. In this year...
@@osmort same
We got this!
32 and started about a month ago. Never too old to rock!
I’m not even into metal, but this is such a great story. Really awesome work, man. Congrats on an awesome life
And caught it all on video
Well done Bernth, you are the cleanest and best technique shredder that I am aware of, super impressive to watch. I hope your skills bring you great fortune and fulfillment, you seem like a very good dude who is deserving of a good life. Peace!!!
What he said! ☝🏻
Buckethead would like to have a word with you.
@@prodbykomrebi That's fair
@@prodbykomrebi Bernth VS Buckethead shred off. Sounds fun.
He’s amazing and what an accomplishment but I don’t know about that. I think Paul Gilbert is pretty clean.
Way to go man! I'm now 37 years old and I've started learning how to play 6 months ago. I still suck, but warms my heart seeing your progress. Your video is an inspiration. Keep up the good work!
keep going! around 1 year and 6 months you will be able to play rhythm guitar to any metal song trust me!
Dude! You and me both. I want to shred so bad!!!!
Started taking lessons about 5 months ago. I’m an old man as well….37 lol
Here I am about to be 30 and starting out too. I expect some progress videos in six months.
I am 44 and starting now, got a lot to learn i see!😳. Bud he became good fast. Talented
deftgoose, I'm also just starting out. Actually, I have my first lesson in a few days. I'm 52 now. I got my guitar in 1990 when I was young, but circumstances made it impossible for me to get very far at the time. I always planned to come back to it, and now, 30 years later, I'm about to do just that. When the video talked about letting other people dragging you down, and never giving up on your dreams, that really cheered me up. Maybe I'm running a fool's errand here, but if I could just learn to play well enough to find some friends that I can get together with and play a little metal music, I'd be so happy about that. I've been a music listener all my life--and as heavy metal fan since I was a teen in the 80s, but I've always been a listener. I just want to try to make a little music of my own, y'know?
I turned 47 this year and have been playing the guitar since high school. I always wanted to be a shredder like you, but over time I've slowed down, and you know what? It's not a bad thing! Where I once dreamed of learning the Megadeth solos in Holy Wars I now dream of playing like Chris Buck. So much feeling, so much more emotion than just anger. 100% it's each to their own but massive props, congratulations (the UA-cam algorithm brought me here!) and really happy that you're happy and proud of yourself, full stop!
don't worry man nobody plays and enjoys neo-classical metal anymore. I used to shred crazy when I was 20-21. Now I am 42 and I enjoy blues more. And my opinion Albert King was the greatest guitar player who ever lived.
I'm in the same boat. Turned 46 last October. I'm not a shredder. I can throw a solo out if absolutely necessary, but I prefer rhythm. I have noticed my dexterity has diminished. Malcom young to someone else's Angus if you will. I find myself using hammer-ons and pull-offs a lot more than I used to to compensate. I play within my limitations and have fun with it.
@@ct1216 I love metal. When I sit down to play it's mainly blues now. My all time favorite player is Chet Atkins. He made playing look so effortless. Like anyone could pick up a guitar and play like him. The greats always do though.
You made me so much emotional 🥺 thank you bernth for motivating us you're not only a great musician but a great mentor too for us,never stop giving content like these it's a gem to me
LOVE U FROM INDIA ❤️
The jump from 2003 to 2005 is INSANE! What exactly did you change about your practice routine in 05 when you started to take it more seriously? That alone was impressive! Very cool video, also shows that people don't "blow up" from one day to the next, it's hard work for many years until you are finally good enough that recognition starts to pile up.
Just get in there no limits mind set and enjoy the journey it's a long one.
Just play and learn new stuff. If you keep learning harder stuff you will get better. Like said get in the mind set and just keep pushing. From what I've seen people get stuck looking for techniques to practice and practice routines. To be honest I never really cared about that I just played stuff I liked and wanted to learn. I'm also interested in theory and read about it, I'm also teaching myself to write standard notation because why not I wanna know it. So far I can tell you for me writing the notes is not hard but reading the notes is harder. I'm no professional by any means but I won't get lost on the guitar.
I'm curious what he changed in his routine as well. That's a very drastic and impressive leap in skills in a very short period of time.
@@fancwings6134 I'm sure he put massive amounts of time and effort but there's got to be more to it than than bro. The majority of people I've known that play guitar took many more years to reach that point than what we see in this video of Bernth's progress. I for one didn't have the benefit of having better guitar players around me to show me stuff. It definitely helps to have a mentor.. and can slow you down greatly if you have to figure everything out for yourself. A good practice regimen is key.. but you can't just do the same things forever.. especially without getting bored. Sure, we have the internet and UA-cam today but that wasn't the case when I was in my teens or even my early 20s.. and when you get older you don't have nearly as much free time as you did when you were younger. I think the person asking this question is trying to outline a plan or improve upon an existing one after seeing Bernth's impressive leap forward in such a short period. Responding by saying to dive in with no limits isn't really saying much. It's safe to say we all know that practice is first and foremost.. and lots of it.
@@jmorrisey79 Some people just have “IT” for lack of a better term. You can not have IT and practice your ass off and you will be a good guitarist. Hard work pays off, but TALENT and hard work pays off even more.
Don’t get discouraged. Practice. And then practice some more. Too many people give up playing guitar because it’s hard. Don’t be those people. 🤙🏼
Edit: I’m not necessarily responding to you per se. More to the masses that may be reading this thread.
OMG you were Belphegor guitarist in 2011 ?? ...and thank you so much for your every single video that helps many people a lot around the world !!!
This is terrific. I get down on myself about my playing sometimes. This really helped. Thanks B
I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years this month and teaching since 1998. Never experienced a 2 year growth in skill like you had at 12-14 years old by any student or any player I’ve ever known. Congratulations you are the definition of Gifted!! That said, thanks for the inspirational video.
I've been playing the guitar for a long time, but now at 42 I want to take it seriously, I discovered your channel not long ago but I haven't followed up on the exercises. I think I have wasted a lot of my life making these decisions because I live in a country where rock and metal don't matter and I also think I suffer from depression. But seeing how Jason Becker continues to fight and this video of yours, I have now decided to take this seriously. many thanks!
I realized the same some days ago I am currently 38 years old and I will take it seriously since now, greetings from Mexico
Just do it! (lol) Im 35, playing instruments since 6. I started to get serious about it 3 years ago and getting hired now for recording, mixing/mastering and stuff and i want to slap myself for not being serious about it much much sooner while chasing other things and goals in life. Now im finally enjoying life. :D Just do eeet :P
Same for me
For real, its possible to achieve amazing skills!
I had 3 month break in guitar and it feels terrible to play now. But after this video i felt motivated and i'm setting my practice shedule, no matter what.
Currently i am 29 and i am also taking things seriously now. I guess now i dont want to end up saying these when i reached your age. I have also lost so many hours without practicing,thinking i will do tomorrow and tomorrow but now i will again start the journey.
Such a motivational video.... Love it❣️
The beginning of this video shows that everyone has to start somewhere and even the best players of their instruments have sounded terrible at some point. It's a progress that you go through with dedication and hard work and as the video progress you can see how much it eventually pays off. This kind of videos should be shown to all new players so they can see the progress and then imagine it in their head for themselves. It can be very inspirational.
Amazing journey. I started out just like you. Had opportunities to get very successful... but unlike you, I never found the dedication and drive to realize my potential. So cool that you have it chronicled like this. I hope this motivates someone to give it their all, because everyone has greatness inside.... but only a few will realize it.
I'm so incredibly thankful I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago, before then sweep picking, theory, trem picking and timing were a struggle for me but you have found a way to make everything click for me, thank you, Bernth!
Now this is playing with feel in a more heavier metal sound. When people say metal has no feel they're right. Majority of UA-camrs in the metal world lack what this guy has. He's sporadic and spontaneous. 90% of the time you don't even know what he's doing but it's not over done. It's perfect for the song. Exactly what a musician should be
Man ur face when ur playing ur borrowed guitar really hit me hard. The happiness and joy that it brought you is contagious brother. I still have those moments when I finally get a super hard riff down or get in the zone when just messing around. Tbh though, I had not played seriously for many years and one day I saw one of your guitar exercise videos and it re-ignited that passion for me. I use ur exercises daily and try to keep up with all u put out on UA-cam. Thank you!
Wow
That's insane
It gave me goosebumps.
And I didn't know you were in belphagor, they're one of my favorites🤘
Thank you for this video and your amazing videos in general.
You're literally my favorite UA-camr and guitarist!🖤🖤🖤
Please keep on playing forever 🙏
Your music actually helped me in such difficult times.. thank you❤️
Thankyou so much bernth this really motivated me to pick my guitar back up!!
Hey Bernth, I was a decent guitarist in my teens and early 20s but strayed away from music. During the pandemic I rediscovered my love for guitar and threw myself into it. recently I have been struggling to find the time to practice due to work and it's been making me question my dreams of truly mastering the instrument having just turned 33 a few weeks ago, but this video really resonated with me and I just wanna say thank you for that.
Love this video! I'm 35 and established in my career, but I've never really lost the dream of playing in front of a lot of people. I'm still pushing myself to be a better guitar player and overall musician every day.
I’ve watched many of your videos and they have all helped me with my playing. I think you are a spectacular musician and a great man as well. You seem to just genuinely love music, teaching, sharing and your fans as well. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom with us 👍🏻
You’re the man buddy. I practice your tutes, follow you on the old Spotify and more. Well done! You deserve everything you get. Hard work and consistency opens doors to immortality. Peace.
You’re amazing,I hope you be happy and keep doing what you doing,thanks for bringing joy into this world, we need you❤️
Congratulations on your success. It seems as though the majority of professional guitarists focus on sharing their wins but never their failures along the journey that got them to where they are today. I’m new to this community but have already seen several videos where you proudly share the mistakes you made…even while already regarded as a great musician who plays sold out stadiums. It’s hard to describe just how inspiring that is and all I can say is thank you for putting yourself out there and showing us that despite being seen as a god on the guitar, you’re human just like the rest of us. Your dedication to showing everyone that the formula for success is truly as simple as a borderline obsessive commitment to your craft and hard work is a breath of fresh air and welcomed distraction to the crazy world we all share. I intend on remaining a platinum patreon member for the foreseeable future and you deserve each and every subscriber you have.
Take care.
I'm about as far as you can get from a metal shredder, but man this is a great video and very inspirational. I'm glad your hard work is paying off for you.
Wow!, it came at a critical moment in my life, at 34 years old, sometimes I think if continuing to play guitar is the best idea and it saddens me to know that I am still a novice in my opinion but with this video I thank you very much Bernth because I gave the motivation I need, thank you very much, you are great.
What a solid message and an amazing gift you have! Truly a blessed person
Lots of hard work paying off. The success is very well deserved. I don’t have a goal of being a professional musician, maybe if I had started younger. I just want to be better. But one thing I’ve really taken from Bernth is putting in the work. Thanks for the inspiration my man! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you.

Hey Bernth. I come over one of your video while ago. I just have to thank you for great content. Its a real pleasure to watch your video. Rare to see someone so connected to the instrument. I really like you sharing your great insight and learning techniques. Ive been playing guitar from I was like 9. at that time it wasent youtube and ect. Just listened and tryed. Could not effort lessions and stuff. Picked up guitar again for like 4 years ago. And thanks you for sharing your stuff. You reach to a level seems impossible for me but i keep learning. And its always great to see you hungry for more. Youre one of the top on my list on youtube. Please keep your content going. Music have so much meaning in my life i can not explain it. All the best to you, man. Greeting from Norway
Fude thats beyond impressive and you should be so proud of yourself. Congrats on all you hard work and dedication and self discipline to make your dreams come true. Not many people have that drive in the world. Kudos to you man. Keep up the great work, you're doing awesome.
Wow, so inspiring. Just started a band and this truly helped prime the dreams I already have! Love this man I will keep learning everything I can and especially from you! 🤘🏽🙌🏽🤙🏽
Even when I'm tired and see my age now (almost 42) I grab my guitar everyday and practice seriously with your practice-Videos. Can't thank you enough..!
So amazing and hard-working yet so humble and practical in teaching!
And so keen to give the knowledge back to the community and his followers!
You. Have done well. I'm old now but still see beauty in the music of the newer generations. The talent is obviously a growth over time but the drive still shines over the years. I will look for your next exploits
You’re my dream journey dude! Absolutely inspiring to see it.
So inspiring, even though I dont want to be a professional musician. Great stuff Bernth, thanks for everything you do!
Same age but still struggling..Played at age 16 and I can play a little of Jason Richardson songs now but that is it. I am trying to make my own sound. I noticed that I have inclination in making melodies rather than the technical stuff. Your video is so inspiring. Thank you!
What an incredible story! That’s so amazing you are hitting your goals and beyond! You clearly found your calling.
Watching you is inspiring. I started playing guitar at around 9 years old but didn’t pursue it consistently. I hit a point where I could comfortably play most songs and keep up at a few live things but didn’t push myself further. Years later I’m back at it and learning new stringed instruments as well. Music is an amazing thing and I hope you continue to achieve your dreams! 🎸
You're the real deal brother! Hope all your dreams come true! I'm happy just being able to achieve my goals and get past the hurdles and become a better guitar player. Your videos are a huge help. Especially being born in the early 90s we were all mostly self taught. You really helped me figure out the things I was doing wrong and how to change them. I am very grateful! Thanks!
That’s awesome you have footage to share with us all. Wish I still had mine when I first started playing drums ! First day I ever played was on my birthday and the old lady neighbor came over and asked if can stop playing all together. My dad said no, and she and her husband ended up moving. As I got older I told people no, and I play regardless what people think as long as I don’t break any noise violations. I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t think to much about what people think just keep playing and do you cause a lot of people who don’t play an instrument think music is made in a small dark quiet closet.
Awesomely inspiring BERNTH! ~ At 60 yrs old, I just started (again after 40 yrs) "Never give up on your DREAMS!"
How are you doing?
Pretty sure at that age you're way past dreams and one foot into the grave
@@DioBrando_ I'm really enjoying ~ Check out the sample on my channel. If I can do it, anyone can!
@@Slouworker Every day we're on this planet is a gift no matter our age. My dreams came true in my life, everything else is a bonus
Gracias hermano! Es hermoso sentir y ver tu avance y motivación. Que sigas brillando y llegando más lejos que las estrellas... Has ganado una suscriptora nada más con sentir tus ánimos a quienes empezamos en el mundo de la música. Un abrazo y bendiciones donde sea que estés. Nos vemos en los escenarios algún día!
Dude, thank you for sharing this journey! I just recently picked up the guitar and have been learning quite a bit this year, I am stoked to see the stuff I will learn as I go!
Ive been playing since i was 14 im 48 now. I lost the passion for actually growing, and learning, but watching your vids has kinda lit a fire back to the shredder in me. I love rhythm more and all different genres, but the neoclassical in me has never died. I look forward to learning to get my picking hand and finger independence back to what it should be. Great stuff dude!
3 weeks later u gave up again right ?
INSTANT HOT LIGHTNING ==>> ua-cam.com/video/3LcR3H4FYa0/v-deo.html
I love your positive message. Your absolutely right. Don't let people drag you down. I can't imagine what a rush it was to play for 120k people. It was a pretty amazing feeling when my high school band played for 200. Lol
Awesome! What a great vid. Loved seeing that. Positive message for everyone else as well. Respect 🙏🏼
Bro, I was good right up until the end when you replayed that clip with your teachers guitar. After watching your progression and instantly being snapped back to that first smile was a pretty emotional moment. Good for you, man! Very cool.

Eres increible! Amazing job.
Weird - I've known him for a few years on UA-cam, but somehow never knew he did all the live performance stuff! Super talented guy!!
Me too!
ya and his first show with belphegor?? i think these guys kinda big, nice
It's great to see the journey and constant growing, so often we tend to judge the musicians we see onstage and we don't really appreciate the huge amounts od practice and dedication behind a live show
Oh man that's really inspirational. I needed to watch this. At the age of 35, I just bought my guitar to study seriously. Just a hobby to start with, but who knows. I really love music and it helps me control my anxiety. Thank you so much for this video. Best wishes from Brazil
I am so happy for you that all your dreams as a musician came true!
And now by being recognized as a shred guitarist and virtuoso at international level, hopefully even more cool opportunities come true for you in the next couple of years!
And beside that, I also appreciate you as a humble teacher who always takes time for thousand of guitar students on patroen to answer our questions.
Wish you all the best and another successful 19 years with the instrument that you so much love: the guitar!
