Thanks for your sharing

[@chriswalton3383]

Awesome lessons. I have taken everything you've said and applied it to my practice routine. Thanks Bernth. Appreciate you bro.🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@ChristianHendersonX1]

There's always a few bad apple/haters that will dislike something for no reason, just out of either ignorance or spite

[@satchrules101]

Hi bro do you have a course on timing and counting measures?

[@SteadyMcShredson]

This dude is extremely talented. The only down side to watching his videos is that just when I think to myself, "you're getting pretty good!", he plays something insanely fast and clean and I immediately realize I still suck.

[@michaeljimenez239]

That is no way to think of it dude, gotta be more positive

[@shuplitz2257]

To be more precise, he plays something insanely fast and clean and then tells you that that actually was the wrong version that he intentionally messed up so now he can teach you how to fix it 😅

[@rafaelstefanibarroscoelho1473]

Dont be sad about that. It means you are taking baby steps to improve your playing. I get worried when I see musicians who believes they know too much. Thats why I quit my bands and begin studying all the simple things that someday I believe Will make me feel secure to play lead guitar, but aware that i need to study forever. Greetings from Brazil! 🤝

So accurate

Thanks for the kind words 🙂🤘

[@ericbetterman9220]

@@soymarak4498 Strongly agree. Paul Davids has a lot to offer too. Except not shreddy.

[@triggerfish6619]

I'm new to electric guitar, really like Bernth, also james-james the "headless" guitar teacher and Guthrie Trapp. Play on..

[@quinetastic]

I agree, excellent comment ☝️🤘

[@Flathead-fb5tk]

Just discovered you a few weeks ago. I'm self taught and have been playing on and off for over 20 years but was frustrated with my progress for a long time. Your videos have helped me improve GREATLY in just those few weeks. Your back to basics exercises that I practiced wrong for years (spider exercise for example lol) have made a drastic difference in my playing. I can't thank you enough for all the knowledge you share and for your positive approach to getting better on the guitar. Greetings from Kentucky and thanks again Bernth!!!!!!

[@MrProthall]

Yesterday I did your arpeggio exercise from a few days back.. for like an hour. I was so mad my timing is shit and felt like I go nowhere. Now, I still haven't gone anywhere because this video is like 20 minutes old when I write this, but I am so glad you did one on the topic. Edit: Funny too, I noticed yesterday I always keep my index finger on the frets, thats why my left hand cramps up when doing certain patterns.

[@illuminotme4261]

I decided last night that today I would start doing a metronome routine again and I knew exactly where I needed to go for ideas! Your awesome Bernth and I consider you a pioneer of modern shredding. I sincerely mean that .

[@charlielocep951]

Best Guitar Teacher Ever. God Bless you Bernth

[@SCBiscuit13]

One of your videos helped me out a lot. I've realized that my left-hand position was wrong. I was holding the guitar at an angle and I just couldn't build speed with my left hand. I've been playing for 20 years and had 3 guitar teachers and nobody pointed it out before. Thanks a lot!!! Keep up the good work.

[@hortyist1]

Even the dysfunctional example up front...is an incredible display of guitar prowess 🤟 🤜🤛

[@jrod8332]

All I can say is, to the youngsters that are subscribed and watching, this is epic and you have all that is needed with this gentleman...the best that I have ever seen. Thank you so much for passing your knowledge and explanation of your musical talent to all of us, again thank you so much!

[@dgfeeder9801]

You‘re always diving more into detail than other KZbinrs do. You especially focus on solutions for things nobody talks about like the flying pinky in one of your videos!! Thank you so much... Pretty nice to have an Austrian as a teacher... at least your accent makes tells me that or am I wrong?🤔

[@anxiousx]

Keeps doing what you doing man, your lessons helps me growth so much.

[@louisgole2202]

Yes best teacher. Whenever I’m stuck or something I’m playing doesn’t feel right, I rewatch your videos and you always seem to have the answer. Keep up the good work 👍

[@craigpaulson3503]

Thanx Bernth. I've been playing for 30+ years and was stuck in the same place forever. Then I found your video lessons and have made huge improvements. I can't Thank You enough. I appreciate all the hard work that you put into making these videos for us.

[@alperensenturk2997]

I habs ma denkt, dass du a österreicher bist, aber der Red Bull Kühlschrank gab mir den Rest :D grandioses Video thank you very much

[@domenicopellegrino2963]

Shotout to Bernth for deciding to upload a 9:40 minutes video with quality information and refusing to add even 20 seconds of nothingness We will help the algorithm anyway prof

[@michaellewisjones2385]

You are a amazing guitar player. Thank you for the help. I'm really struggling with arpeggios.

[@mwmcbroom]

I'm a classical guitar player but I subscribe to Bernth's channel because his left hand technique is solid and is perfectly in line with good classical technique.

[@arkadeepbasu8818]

Your exercises have really helped my timing and technique in general. You are the best teacher on youtube .❤❤ Ps : a video on tapped arpeggios and arpeggio theory in general would be pretty cool.

[@CarlosMendez-uo5xm]

Your practice exercises are awesome man! I've been doing a few of your other videos for the last 2 weeks and I have noticed a crazy improvement on my picking and accuracy. Best challenging and practical practice routines I have ever seen in a video! Keep it up, I'll be joining your patreon to support the cause. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@roncowartii3662]

Very AWESOME guitar instructor! I'm taking his sweep picking and master shredding courses, and its improved my playing by leaps and bounds!

[@bigkid757]

I though the timing on the intro sounded fine... do I have a timing problem 😂

[@michaeljimenez239]

Same here lol

[@bigkid757]

😂

[@Blakeadam52]

Bro seriously, but i also cant shred like this, so my dumbass was just admiring the technical abilities of our guitar overlord.

[@cmk4633]

If you listen, the beat if going faster than his solo. It starts fine and slowy his solo falls behind the drums. I play guitar and can shred, it took me a 3rd listen but I got it.

[@pashon4percushon]

I didn't know solos were timed until EVH passed and i decided to learn some pieces of his songs and found it easier to time it with the drums. So i played a small solo piece with my own drumming and it sounded awesome.

[@cedricBUNKERTON]

Thanks for the advice, just bought the alternate picking t-shirt from your merch to remind me what the instructions are 🎸🎸🎸

[@nobleundead5678]

How are there actually dislikes? I just don't get it. Your content is always solid 👌👌🤘

[@ericbetterman9220]

I thought this was a patreon only video.

[@iluvyunie]

I think the dislikes are other guitar lesson channels 🤣

[@pashon4percushon]

probably other guitar teachers, or guitarist who don't want you to know secrets.

[@iancanty9875]

They aren't necessarily deliberate dislikes. I have quite often accidentally clicked the dislike button when scrolling down on my iPad. I have even fallen asleep while watching, then I've woken up to find my hand resting on the screen and realised I've clicked the like or dislike buttons. if you don't realise you've accidentally clicked dislike then it stays on.

[@gregorylynn4838]

I think it's still not clear what he's playing. If you're a novice or know nothing about theory, it's difficult to grasp. I myself need to see all the numbered notes to know exactly what to play.

[@fredhinson915]

"Discovered" you yesterday. Bad ass. Period. I'm an old fart from back in the day wishing you and KZbin had existed.

[@robertgwinn1478]

Great exercise for those that enjoy polymetric playing and composing.

[@JT_Grogan]

I never realized how absolutely shit my timing was. I never practiced with a metronome or anything. This has been helping me immensely. Thanks a lot

[@nezibc.cr07]

Soy nuevo en el canal, pero por mucho es uno de los mejores maestros en KZbin. Lo que enseña en sus vídeos es lo que muchos enseñan solo de manera de pago. Excelentes vídeos en todo sentido. Saludos desde Honduras...

[@tooofart]

These simple exercises are quite effective for left-hand right-hand coordination, and timing! Thanks!

[@masterkhisis]

Hello Bernth, first I want to say that your channel is a great help for all of us who wanted to improve our guitar skills, thank you mate! I’d like to ask you if there’s any chance that you can teach is how to develop or make better guitar effects using pedals like Zoom g2 in order to get sounds like Metallica, Megadeth etc. I think I’m not the only one who find it useful. Once again, thanks!

I must suck with it cus that first demo sounded perfectly fine to me 😣

[@HeavyGee84]

Bernth is the Tomas Haak of guitar. This is some messugguh level stuff

[@Melanie-rp4gg]

The thing is...I don't have any Musical talent, I can't tell notes apart, I can't read Notes, I can't sing, I don't have feeling for rhythm etc....I couldn't even tell that you weren't playing on time in the intro I whould be so much better at guitar I still wanna play on stages and in bands

[@asuka8951]

Hi bernth I've watched your tutorial for about a month and I can see some improvement in my playing, thank you for sharing and teaching us who are struggling! 😊

[@G0dbeast]

This reminds me of that riff that goes dummy hard on Planetary Duality, I think it's Planetary Duality II: A Prophecies Fruition. Therefore then the rhythmic concept in this exercise goes dummy hard.

[@MannyWalks]

I just found out my online guitar teacher!! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks Bernth! Maybe now I can stop sounding like Kerry King 🤣

I literally cannot stop my little finger from breaking away from the economic close to fretboard thing, like it will stay close for the first 8 notes and then start flapping off whenever i hit my middle finger note :/ it just won't stay close

I tried to practice it real slow, was almost painful lol, just feels wrong.

[@anushkumar4994]

Could you please make a video on guitar action for different genre

[@markus-hermannkoch1740]

If the melody is bam-bam-bam-...-bam, and is committed to muscle memory properly, then my confidence level (warranted or not) rises to the sky. It is only when someone starts asking for 'bam-di-bam-bam-di-diddel-diddel-BUM(!)', that all starts crashing down around me.
