When I first started this workout, I was really struggling even with 110 BPM. After 2 weeks or so without any progress, I happened to watch your video on picking technique and I realised that my picking was seriously wrong. Literally two days after I fixed my technique I found myself able to do 150 BPM!! Thanks a lot Bernth!! Your video saved me years of practice!
Damn it Bernth, I’ve been playing guitars for 34 years now! Never been great at it, just ok for what I did, using a lot of “cheap” uncontrollable techniques! But today, after watching many of your videos the last few months months, I downloaded a metronome to my phone, tuned my acoustic down to “all” drop D, and started a 60 bpm for all that I use as my warmups! And I’m trying to figure out those things I can make “sound” as if it’s fast playing, into something I actually can play! I’m now exited to see if I can progress my guitar skills at the age of 47! Really wished UA-cam and someone like you was around 34 years ago! You’re inspirational!
One unexpected thing that helped me massively improve my picking technique, literally immediately, was to play in front of a mirror. That way I was able to fix the amplitude of my picking motion, and to correct the position of my right hand and forearm in a way that I was able to pick cleanly and consistently. Give it a try y'all!
Been playing over 20 years and never really learned the right things to get where I have always wanted to be. 05/28/23, day 1, I made it to 140bpm and it fell apart at 150. Getting ready to get started on your lessons on Patreon. Thanks Bernth.

@@Sparkey4646 in general, you should pick 3 to 5 exercises to do each day, then allocate 15 mins to each exercise Also, I'll suggest you to change the type of the exercises each day ; that way you'll progress smoothly on more topics (legato, sweep picking, string skipping...)
On my first day (3 days ago) I was able to reach 140 with relative ease, 160 struggling and not even pick as fast as 190. Now, my 4th day, I can get to 150 easily, 170 with not so much struggle and 180 struggling hard. And at least I can pick as fast as 200bpm (even if my left hand do not follow. Thank you, Bernth! PS: I'm praciticing no more than 30 minutes per day.
When I started 160BPM was my peak. Today is my 6th day doing this challenge and 180Bpm is where I struggle so I have high hopes to reach 200 because so far its been showing results little by little. Now It’s my 20th day doing the exercise and I can reach 220 but not clean. I’m pretty sure that in the 10 days that remain I’ll be able to do my 200BPM over clean. Update: Today is my 31st day and I can do it til 220 and 230 is where I stuggle a bit but it was amazing improvement. Thank you Bernth for the amazing lesson.
Alternating strings was the breakthrough for me, 3 on one, 1 on the next, back to 3 on the first. So pattern of four, puts the upstroke on the next string which I was missing before. The triplets are great because the first note of the pattern alternates top/bottom
No worries, much more important to play it clean, there is a lot of fast guys where you can barely tell what they play through the dist pedals, the mix etc..that is boring. Just start where you can play it clean, that is all anyone can do. That is how everyone starts this stuff.
Doing this exercise made me realized that my fretting hand and picking hand are clearly not in sync lol way harder than it looks lol (sthird day 120 - 140 bpm). You are insane sir! hopefully one day I will be able to shred like you
140 BPM - June 16th. At faster bpms, i sense a lot of tension coming from my left hand, (my right hand is alright, keeping the tension under control). I am starting to get the grip of the "economy of motion". Next week, i gonna make 150BPM.
150 BPM - July 7 This challenge was harder than i thought it would be. Almost one month has passed and i managed to increase my BPM by 20. I see this as a big win! Thanks again, Bernth!
Started on 27.8.22 Day 1: Warm up Day 2: 110bpm Day 3: 120bpm (I also reached that speed today for other challenge that published by @BERNTH. I mixed between them when I training)
Day 2: Made it to 170 but just like the first try, not really feeling that it sounds perfect. 160 has been achieved though. Tried 180 once and it sounds like a cat fight at midnight.
Day 3: I like the way 170 sounds and 180 is sounding better, however decided to return to 160 and keep improving from there, no moving forward until it sounds perfect.
Day 5: 170 started feeling normal but still, some room for improvement there. Tried 180 and it makes more sense now, like I was able to finish it at least, sound ugly though. 190 is a joke lol
Ight, starting the challenge today, Sat 29th July 2023, stuck on lvl 4, thank you though Bernth, all your exercises are fantastic! Day 2 turns out the lvl 4 was me deluding myself, stuck on lvl 2 Day 3 - I'm regressing, can't even do lvl 2, will try to push tomorrow Day 4 -120bpm reached again, barely Day 5 - same as day 4 Day 6 - Even though I was losing it, I pushed onto 130+140bpm, gonna try and really push over next few days, see what happens Day 7 - 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, 130bpm pretty rough but kinda there Day 8 - same as day 7 Day 8 - Same as day 7, god this is hard Day 9 - What if i told you I was never gonna improve?
Also, I tried to match the way his picking hand is and the lesson he gave on it. I’ve played 20+ years with more of a Hammett/Dimebag style where my bottom three fingers stick out. Not sure if I should stick with how I’ve always done it or dedicate myself to completely changing my technique 🤔
Is this a good one when someone is first trying to learn how to do speed picking? I have played a good while just never got any good at sweeps, or serious alt. speed picking.
Day 1 - 130 bpm Day 2 - 130 bpm Day 3 - 130 bpm Day 4 - 140 bpm DaY 5 - 140 BPM Day 6 - 150 bpm Day 7 - 150 bpm Day 8 - 150 bpm Day 9 - 150 Day 10 - 160 bpm Day 11 - 160 bpm Day 12 - 160 bpm Day 13 - 160 bpm Day 14 - 150 bpm
29-01-23 - 175 bpm - 200bpm (very sloppy) .. i just recently restarted playing guitar after almost 20 years, never used a pick before (i played when i was 14-18 and always fingerstyle) and now im able to alternate pick @175bpm on 2 strings after about a month (or two) of practice, to be continued. 06-05-23: dropped @190 bpm but it's hard to do the whole challenge in one set my hand are tired super fast ..
Just watched this video some days ago and tried same idea but with another triplet that Kotzen uses, dude… couldn’t do on 170bpm, bought 5 different new picks and finally the jazz iii 1.5mm fitted so sweet and now 190 bpm is possible.
Day 1 (2/20/2023): Stuck at the warmup. I had to change the speed to .75 Day 2(2/21): Kept practicing at .50 speed and got past the warmup. Stuck at 110 bpm
Day 1 (21.02.2023): good 110 Day 2-3: practice without video Dat 4: can do 140bpm but need practice Day 6: i'm sick but can do 150bpm Day 23: A couple of weeks passed which I spent lerning mostly raining blood and I hit 200bpm but still need practice
Day 1 (09/02/2023): 130bpm Day 2 (16/02 but practicing other stuffs): 140bpm/150bpm sloppy Day 3 (18/02 but practicing other stuffs): 150bpm still sloppy
day 1: 110bpm day 2: 110bpm. 120bpm, sloppy day 3: Rest Day 4: 120bpm Day 5: 130bpm, sloppy Day 6: 130 bpm sloppy Day 7: Rest Day 8: 130bpm sloppy Day 9: 120bpm Day 10: 120/130bpm Day 11: 130bpm Day 12: 130 sloppy Day 13: 130bpm 3 day break day 16: 120/130 bpm day 17: 130 sloppy Day 18: break Day 19: 130bpm
Day 1: (15/01/23) 100 BPM warm up Day 2: Didn't play this Day 3: Didn't play this Day 4: Played a bit and managed to reach 110 BPM only. 120 seems a little bit hard 5 months later, I am able to play 140 bpm but 150 is sloppy
forgot to write down days 1-3 feb 17 day 4: 160 feb 20 day 5: 150 feb 21 day 6: 160 feb 22 day 7: 170 feb 23 day 8: 170 (so close to 180, maybe tomorrow) feb 24 day 9: 170 (once again, almost 180) feb 26 day 10: 170 (less clean than day 9, and my pinky is on fire) feb 27 day 11: 170 (pinky is melting) feb 28 day 12: 170 (pinky is still melting) march 1 day 13: 170 (pinky is) 2023 may 19 day 13: 190
Day1 15/04/2023 not even at the warm up speed. 16/04/2023 getting comfortable with the pattern 17/04/2023 if tried to go faster, the string strikes first and the fret is tapped later. 18/04/2023 1 or 2 times it reaches almost 100beats per sec 21/04/2023 reaching warmup speed, cant play along the beats and slow in reverse order
it is hard than it seems lol Ive been playing guitar for two months, and I can reach only the warm up. Lets see how it goes Thanks for the lesson anywsy edit I: 23/12 120 BPM ( have not trained so much these days) 28/12 - 130BPM. Increased the speed and the sound is cleaner. 31/12 - 140BPM. 01/01 - 150BPM - happy new year!! 12/01 - 160BPM- finally
Clean enough until 160bpm for today, but after 170 it gets very sloppy. Would be nice to have a similar speed exercise where different strings are combined, for a more "realistic" use case. Still very helpful in getting a burst. Thank you!
Having a lot of fun with this. Thank you very much! As a follow on, what would you recommend for taking this concept and applying it to crossing strings? (As opposed to just playing fast on the one string) thanks again!!!
Yeah, I made it to the end of this workout. One day I might even try it with a guitar.

After 10 days of practicing I've reached Bernth's warm-up speed. I think, 4 weeks won't be enough to make it to 200BPM. :D
@YaBoiChinx Dont laugh. Everyone starts off like this.
How is it going now? :)
me too man, me too (took me 11 days to be able to play 100bpm smoothly)

You don't have to be fast to be serious about it, my friend.
@@PJF1981 true, true
A good guitar player can play slow AND fast... don't believe in that "you don't have to be fast" thing.
@@matheusibanez True, but a sloppy fast player is worse than a solid slow player. Practice technique slow and then speed will develop naturally. :)

Day 3: I like the way 170 sounds and 180 is sounding better, however decided to return to 160 and keep improving from there, no moving forward until it sounds perfect.
Day 4: switching between 160 and 170. Started combining this challenge with the scale fragments (example 11) from John Petrucci's rock discipline
Day 5: 170 started feeling normal but still, some room for improvement there. Tried 180 and it makes more sense now, like I was able to finish it at least, sound ugly though. 190 is a joke lol
Day 6: Felt a bit tired today and 170 was bit harder to perform. I will start using metronome as well and not just the video.
Ight, starting the challenge today, Sat 29th July 2023, stuck on lvl 4, thank you though Bernth, all your exercises are fantastic!
Day 2 turns out the lvl 4 was me deluding myself, stuck on lvl 2
Day 3 - I'm regressing, can't even do lvl 2, will try to push tomorrow
Day 4 -120bpm reached again, barely
Day 5 - same as day 4
Day 6 - Even though I was losing it, I pushed onto 130+140bpm, gonna try and really push over next few days, see what happens
Day 7 - 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, 130bpm pretty rough but kinda there
Day 8 - same as day 7
Day 8 - Same as day 7, god this is hard
Day 9 - What if i told you I was never gonna improve?
December 7 2021 170 BPM what an amazing work out to help with speed can't wait to come back tomorrow and try to best it my old score

Thank you Bernth for this great exercise for speed and precision
Dude, I made it all the way to the end first try, I'm impressed with myself
Also, I tried to match the way his picking hand is and the lesson he gave on it. I’ve played 20+ years with more of a Hammett/Dimebag style where my bottom three fingers stick out. Not sure if I should stick with how I’ve always done it or dedicate myself to completely changing my technique 🤔
25th October
190 BPM
Is this a good one when someone is first trying to learn how to do speed picking? I have played a good while just never got any good at sweeps, or serious alt. speed picking.

@@maJastoL .men, there's a lot of time that I don't practice this, but I'm going to try and I'll tell you
@@maJastoL Men today I get 180 bpm clean and 200 but not clena at all
29-01-23 - 175 bpm - 200bpm (very sloppy) .. i just recently restarted playing guitar after almost 20 years, never used a pick before (i played when i was 14-18 and always fingerstyle) and now im able to alternate pick @175bpm on 2 strings after about a month (or two) of practice, to be continued.
06-05-23: dropped @190 bpm but it's hard to do the whole challenge in one set my hand are tired super fast ..

Just watched this video some days ago and tried same idea but with another triplet that Kotzen uses, dude… couldn’t do on 170bpm, bought 5 different new picks and finally the jazz iii 1.5mm fitted so sweet and now 190 bpm is possible.
5-23-22 made it through again but my hand and forearm are more sore today. No pain no gain.

Day1 15/04/2023 not even at the warm up speed.
16/04/2023 getting comfortable with the pattern
17/04/2023 if tried to go faster, the string strikes first and the fret is tapped later.
18/04/2023 1 or 2 times it reaches almost 100beats per sec
21/04/2023 reaching warmup speed, cant play along the beats and slow in reverse order
it is hard than it seems lol
Ive been playing guitar for two months, and I can reach only the warm up.
Lets see how it goes
Thanks for the lesson anywsy
edit I: 23/12 120 BPM ( have not trained so much these days)
28/12 - 130BPM. Increased the speed and the sound is cleaner.
31/12 - 140BPM.
01/01 - 150BPM - happy new year!!
12/01 - 160BPM- finally
180 bpm! (Super Clean) i still working on 190 & 200!
200 bpm done!✅
Day 268, 1.5 Playback speed :) Today's my Birthday n yet here i am
Ill try to do this exercise for the next couple of weeks lets see how I'll do!
day 1 - 120bpm cleam/125bpm sloppy
sub'ed thumbs Up!
Clean enough until 160bpm for today, but after 170 it gets very sloppy. Would be nice to have a similar speed exercise where different strings are combined, for a more "realistic" use case. Still very helpful in getting a burst. Thank you!
20th June - 80bpm
21st June - 90bpm
6/9/23 - The descending pattern started to fall apart at 180bpm and then soon after it all fell apart! haha. I'll be back!
That last darn note in each bar is the hardest to hit right, isn't it everyone?!?!
Day 1= 100 bpm
Day 2= 100 bpm
Day 3= 110 bpm
Day 4= 120 bpm
On my 5th day or so and can already see progress! Level 6 was starting to get hard and by 8 I was in pain lol.
My left hand is definitely the problem! There's too much wasted movement in my pinky!
5-26-22. Still got through. My forearm muscles are so freaking sore. Ugh.
Having a lot of fun with this. Thank you very much! As a follow on, what would you recommend for taking this concept and applying it to crossing strings? (As opposed to just playing fast on the one string) thanks again!!!
Just started stuck at 140, wow this is way more difficult than It sounds.
Got up to 200bpm in 4 days after struggling with 100bpm at the start! I practise 5 hours a day so that may have had an impact.
Just hit 130!! 5/20/22
We cannot even see HOW he even reaches the standards
subscribed.
28th July, 160 BPM
