      @@ashu7pathak If you meant your comment as an insult, you failed! I'm pretty sure Bernth is Austrian not German. They speak German there and use it as their written language. They also speak dialects. Same deal with the German speaking region of Switzerland. They, in fact, speak a dialect of German but use Hoch Deutsch (High German) or standard German as their written language.

    I've been doing the 'spider walk' for over a month now, including alternate versions to target my weaknesses, and it has dramatic effects. I do 4 reps several times per day to not overwork my hand.
    That second excercise looks beneficial, I'll get right on it, thanks.

    late to this video but this is actually pretty groundbreaking for my fledgling guitar journey. I've been trying to learn songs, picking styles, chords, the whole nine yards, but something just wasn't clicking. I had heard of this exercise before and even thought I had gotten it down, but I was never told why exactly you should do this exercise. This video showed me the proper way to do it, and now I can safely say after just a minute or two my left-hand technique has improved vastly. Thanks so much!

    Great lesson. I have a problem with that too and even though I played for a long time, I don't take my time with a metronome and go slow at first and just go crazy at it which makes it sloppy. I have to discipline myself to do so. Plus, the resting of the fingers until needed is something that I have to get a grip on. Again, great lesson and thanks.

    Thank you, I'll have to try the second one. The one I was taught years ago was a 1-3-2-4 pattern where 1 and 2 are on one string and 3 and 4 are on the string above. You work your way up to the high strings in the same way as your first exercise but you are using two strings with each version of the pattern.

    So, noob beginner, just returned home with a cheap electric guitar. This is absolutely a challenge for my fingers - increased by nerve damage in my spine - but will try and add 5minute or more per day doing this exercise.
    @Bernth - I have watched a few of your videos and subscribe to my mindset to optimise, and practice, but trying this a few times I realise the fingers will take time as dead strings is currently a major factor to overcome. thanks for making the content.

    Bernth, you are an amazing teacher and very patient and precise. I just started to learn guitar at age 39. I am taking private lessons with my son and I am always looking for great videos and expertise such as you provide to supplement my lessons because I want to play and shred like you do. One question though. Should I be placing my palm almost touching the neck or hang it low and really try to bend my wrist down and arch my fingers. I have small hands so these exercises are a bit tough because I accidentally hit the D string with my pinky.

  • @occasionalguitarist4119
    @occasionalguitarist4119 4 роки тому

    The second exercise sounds like it's inspired by Jelly Roll Morton's "Finger breaker"....and perhaps for that reason it does sound musical...
    The clearest explanation on spider exercise is another reason why I instantly subscribed.

    Your videos are always informative (some are beyone me, but hey, I'll get there eventually, heh). I'm just doing the spider one. I'm also doing it in the middle of the neck 'cause my fingers are having enough trouble stretching. If I start on the low E, and work my way down towards the high E... On the low e, all my fingers are next to the fret, and roughly parallel to each other. As I work my way towards the high e, my ring finger starts to work towards my middle finger, away from the fret. Also, my pinky starts to cock out sideways. It's no longer parallel to the rest, my nail is pointing towards the head, and the knuckles are cocked away from my fingers. Almost like it's too slick to hold straight, and it slides toward my other fingers. Is this just a strength issue, where it will get better with time or is it something else?

    Hey Bernth, hope you are doing well. Thanks for another great video. I feel like I am learning just by watching your videos even when I am not close to my guitar. I HAVE BEEN SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL AND TEACHING ON EVERY SOCIAL WEBSITE THAT I VISIT. I noticed that your website feed has been popping up on Facebook since then too. I might be changing the algorithm as much as I preach your services. From content to delivery and then how much I am able to retain from them YOUR GUITAR INSTRUCTION IS THE BEST THERE IS ANYWHERE on THE WORLD WIDE WEB. Every single time one of the other guitar instruction sites comes across my screen, I refer them to BERNTH so they can learn for real, and I build you up. If you start noticing a big jump in subscribtions or new students will you shoot me a message? I am just curious, because I believe in your product man.
    Thanks again, Ian
