You should do a complete beginners course as an introduction to your other more advanced courses, I'll be all over it! So beginners would have a path to follow, like: 'Beginners Course' then '10 Steps to Modern Shredding' and finally 'Sweep Picking Masterclass'.
100% !!! I really want to see Bernth get at LEAST a few million more subs, he more than deserves it. Btw you should check out his courses too, they are AMAZING and don't cost very much either! Very well formatted and explained just like these free videos.
I started playing guitar for fun 5 years ago, and pretty much quited 3 years ago as I was stuck , lacking precision, speed and synchronisation. Little did I know that what I was lacking the most was timing. Yesterday my guitar got repaired by a luthier as I wanted to start again. So I started with this thing and your patreon. It was tbh annoying at first as I thought I knew all this stuff. Oh how wrong I was. Playing in time is, like, the hardest thing I've ever done. Thank you so much for these amazing lessons and exercises!
I believe that most of the general public that play guitar including myself and not really that advanced , we need more beginner to intermediate type of lessons such as these , thank you !
I do but it's really handy to watch these and remember them for the future so you know where to go if you need help, I've currently went back to a time I actually learned to tap and I've been practicing it so I can learn to tap
Bernth my dear friend you are truly a legend, you have really helped me alot with my picking hand i have, due to your explaining your lessons and so fourth, been able to unlock my wrist and i am now really enjoying to practise the guitar in a correct way. Much love from Sweden ❤️❤️❤️
Bernth, you are an excelent teacher and an amazing musician. Thank you so much for dedicating time for these lessons. They are astonishingly helpful. Bless you.
So it begins for me. This is where I start! And I start with the closed hand and I am using Swiss Picks Jazz Mini 0.90mm. I'm excited to get going on this, so thank you in advance.
Hi, started few weeks ago . Man you really helped me a llloooooot, doing much off your stuff every day and keep getting better and better just wanted to say. God Bless you my friend keep up the good work ...
#2 was so helpful, I knew that I've been picking with too much muscle involved but it's so hard to relax! These exercises really helped me focus on relaxing the shoulder and not picking with the whole arm so much. Subbed! Thanks man!
Just when I'm about to give up on ever learning bark at the moon ...along comes inspiration, courtesy of Mr Bernth. I'm starting to think it's a relaxing problem that's plateaued my picking action at a waaayyyy too slow speed! My technique has been greatly advanced by your lessons I just need a bit more relaxed speed! Awesome lessons. Many thanks! 🍺
@@Thijscube it's the double note riffs that are beyond me...I haven't even got to the fast soloing! In fact Mr Bernth, might just put together a lesson on fast double note string skipping riffing, while I save up for his shred course. 😉👍🍺
@@christophergray42 oh the riffs yeah, they are pretty awkard lol. I was talking about the solo, last part is 6 notes per beat at 145bpm and with some inside picking. very hard to pull off clean.
You're one of the best. I always come here to find the most useful and actually doable exercises for daily playing. Please continue doing these - they help a lot!
I LOVE THIS! I’m not even a metal player although I dig it. I want to play rockabilly and jump blues stuff but my speed has really been holding me back. I’m going to drill these exercises and hopefully take my playing to another level. Thank you for being open with your guitar secrets!
this is my third day of doing this routine ( 4 months playing) and i was extremely frustrated because i couldnt alternate pick other than galloping some 0's over and over. i sort of had an epiphany with my technique and realized during the second exercise that i was actually hitting the strings too soft (i thought i was supposed to barely touch the string to a point where the hits were barely audible). thank you so much, this is my 3rd or 4th time being in a slump, but i pushed through all of them and now im gonna push through this one too
I’ve been playing for 9 months and I guess I can shred?, I can’t do it perfect but I can do it pretty ok for a person who’s been playing for 9 months, you’ll get there just keep practicing
Love you! Referred you to my brother because he practices endlessly with minimum improvement. I sing, I don't play, but I thoroughly love watching your videos. I subscribed, who wouldn't?! I love your hair down, woo hoo! Fun all around! Thank you❤🎉😊
Thanks a lot mr bernth for sharing ur talent we're same musicians but different style and technique but u're so very good example of professional guitarist.. Stay a good musicians and be humble.. Godbless ❤️
I moved to JD Jazz 3 picks a few years ago and they changed my playing forever! Best picks imo. I'm almost embarassed to say I was playing JD .88 for many years but they're history.
Du hast gar keine Ahnung was für eine riesen Hilfen du für jemanden bist, der seine Axt seit 10 Jahren nicht mehr gequält hat. Besten Dank aus Deutschland nach Österreich mein Freund!
Great tips. The tip on making a fist and anchoring on the bridge made a huge difference! I just made a fist and experimented with rotating my wrist inward and outward to find the most natural movement and wow. I was anchoring my pinky below the strings like a finger picker which was really hindering progress. Thank you very much!
Dear Bernth thank you so much for that lesson. It gave me hope and something to begin with. Wish you good luck to your concerts. You should consider of coming in Greece.
I absolutely love this channel, so glad I found it! Your teaching style is perfect for me. I haven’t been this excited about learning new stuff in a long time, thank you for what you’re doing!
Awesome observation! Yes absolutely, in week one we really take that concept to the extreme (combining different note values, the rhythm pyramid, and more) - happy that it reminded you of the course and that you're part of it :)
it took a about an hour for me to go from not being able to play eighth notes @80 bpm to to playing consistently @ 150bpm following one of your previous videos... PS: I've been playing for almost 2 years.. but my guitar was stuck 300 miles away from me for 8 months.. I needed something like this to get back to it.. thanks
Thank you so much for the excerises and lessons, I've been playing guitar on and off, but always had trouble learning scales and string skips. Mostly due to self teaching. Very easy to follow the video.
Came across ur vidz by accident and decided to learn how to play. My guitar hopefully arrives soon and even though I signed up for one on one lessons at first, I’m using your vidz as reference to remove any bad habits and hopefully be ahead on my first lessons!
Awesome content and tuition again Bernth, your content is excellently thought out and so clearly explained. Hope to get back to your beautiful country once Covid-19 is under control. Visited there briefly last year and it was fantastic -picture postcard beautiful!
Bernth how much time each day should a player put in to learn how to play super fast, and average time it will take for a guitarist to get to full speed? I am talking about alternate picking, hybrid picking, legato, sweeps, all of it!
You Rock!!! I watched your video and noticed my picking hand (right) that I keep my middle/ring/pinky =slightly bent. I then tried keeping a FIST and noticed imm that my playing was much more accurate/and sounded cleaner.
I'm actually pretty happy for what this guy did he made me very happy about teaching people different notes when I get a electric guitar I'll let you know my guy thanks
A very well-structured lesson, Bernth. I really liked that pattern in G towards the start! (Yay for Major Mode Shredding!) The beginner lessons are always helpful - stronger foundations always make it easier to build more complex techniques upon :)
Hi Bernth, love your videos! Please create a course for beginners. Well, not complete beginners of course but many self thought "eternal beginners" like me that look for something like that. I've checked the course on your site in the past but it seems a bit "scary" for my level.. The UA-cam videos are great and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but it would be gteat to have this content in a structured way to make progress over time. I'll be the first one to sign-up :)
Download the tabs, guitar pro files and video play-alongs for this lesson here: www.patreon.com/bernth - happy shredding my friends :)
Hey Bernth
Can you make a video about your rig or setup?? By the way Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Keep doing what you are doing.
Have you done a lesson about alternate Tunings and if not could you do some of the most commonly used Tunings
dude, you have bruxism. Be nice to your teeth. peace
Thank u SIR
HALLO BERNTH! I wanted to tell you, that you inspire me to practice GUITAR AND GERMAN! I LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!
You should do a complete beginners course as an introduction to your other more advanced courses, I'll be all over it!
So beginners would have a path to follow, like: 'Beginners Course' then '10 Steps to Modern Shredding' and finally 'Sweep Picking Masterclass'.
I really appreciate that I live in a time that lessons like this are available any time, and for free! Thank you Bernth🎸
Yes, we didn't have this advantage in the 1980's

Agree🙌🙌

This IS the best instructor for guitarists on UA-cam, period. These videos will improve your playing if you practice what is being demonstrated.
I believe that most of the general public that play guitar including myself and not really that advanced , we need more beginner to intermediate type of lessons such as these , thank you !
Fantastic. I wish I had you around back in the 80s to teach me!
Why is this guy not more popular...more SUBS
Because it is hard to do, and does not happen immediately.
@argh666 Because it is too hard ad takes too much work and time for todays shitty lazy autotune computer "musicians"
All guitarist didn't know shredding
Because some switch to kpop.lol
'cause people love clowns... and hi is NOT but a teacher.
I don't own a guitar, and I've never played one. And here I am watching this video
Same
LOL
I do but it's really handy to watch these and remember them for the future so you know where to go if you need help, I've currently went back to a time I actually learned to tap and I've been practicing it so I can learn to tap
for extra knowledge and you are curious, Must buy a guitar so you can start now.
get a nice cheaper copy and start learning

make a video like this training technique that many videos are really needed for beginner guitarists. you're the best anyway 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've followed a lot of guitar youtubers, bernth is the first one I've felt progress with in his practice plans.
This man has precision of execution. That is a beauty in itself.
These video are really helpful.
Happy to help, hope you have fun working on this :)

More Alternate Picking Pleasee!
More to come for sure, one of my favorite topics ever :)

I think mabey the best channel ever on guitar content! amazing!
finally, been waiting for this ever since I discovered the channel back in September 2018.
Thanks, man, now I know what to start with! Looks like perfect exercises.
Probably this is the best guitar mentor
You Rock!!! I watched your video and noticed my picking hand (right) that I keep my middle/ring/pinky =slightly bent. I then tried keeping a FIST and noticed imm that my playing was much more accurate/and sounded cleaner.
Dawn man, great video production and edition. Thanks for the lesson is very helpfull!
You fixed my picking technique. Now I just need to learn how to play, not just pick.
It's funny, just as I was thinking about how the fingers transition when playing up or down the keyboard on a piano, you made the same comparison.
Best of the best guitar tutorial, i love this execise, it makes me feel like a pro.. Thanks a lot man..
Agree with placement. The joints of my thumb and index finger are doing the work. Not the wrist.
HEH "I am the one! Orgasmatron!..."
I'm actually pretty happy for what this guy did he made me very happy about teaching people different notes when I get a electric guitar I'll let you know my guy thanks
best lesson ever, so specific and helps me a lot.
