Hey Mr . Berneth I'm working on the solo of pyscosocial by slipknot and I'm frustrated because I mess up in the middle, I'll start working with your exercise to improve . Thanks , hope I get it perfect sensi

Hi Bernth, what guitar pick do you like to use? Is that a jazz iii?

[@jasonday8334]

July 8th 140 pick starts to slip and all hell breaks loose.

At some point I feel like this guy is connected to my brain even without talking to him in person. He almost CLEARS EVERY part of things that is bugging me a lot of time and the practice techniques are so effective and fun to add in the routine. A pure quality content! Thanks!

[@GuitarNewz]

Zaniyon, true, Bernth is God-sent for us mortals to get through the day as half-bad players. :)

[@livewire5208]

This helped so much! Me and kids I know in my middle school that play guitar watch your videos. I thought I'd let you know because your are inspiring kids in my town to play, and we all thank you for that! Great lesson by the way!

[@iaku2227]

Your sweep 🧹 picking exercise was helped me a lot. I am already showing off to my friends and they are like wooooow! Haha Thank you 🙏

[@effransshah]

Congrats.. Me too bro played 8 hours per day.. I can fast lol

[@Ollivier10x56]

Congratulations, that's what happens when somebody practice 40 hours a day ;)

[@SinkMan434]

I wonder if Jack is better than Aku at sweeping on the guitar

[@97stratocaster21]

Genuinely useful and practical lesson as usual. I've played for over 20 years, and this KZbin channel provides some of the best exercises to increase and/or maintain any skill level. The techniques shown on this channel can be used in ANY genre of music.

[@Avery_Youtube]

I think that these types of tutorials are what KZbin needs for newer guitar players! He explains very clearly and shows the techniques and steps to do and how to do them. Thanks for the video man, it helps a ton for learning guitar!

[@peppasgeorge]

I am so jealous and respect you guys who play fast alternate picking! I play guitar for 18 years and i've practice ALOT, but i can't get my alternate picking above 135-140 bpm... I really consider trying your patreon lesson to see if it's gonna make a difference! And you're such an enjoyable person to look to. You have a very positive energy!

[@michaelquintana157]

What I love most about your lessons is that they sound melodically inspired so they are fun also to play. Awesome .

[@briansau8729]

I hope Bernth's channel continues to grow! Great lessons and exercises.

[@yargmatey57]

I will need to slow this one waaaaay d oil wn to start. My old brain sometimes goes slower than my fingers. And that isn't saying much. But, after trying some of these workouts I have noticed that my playing is getting better. Thanks again as always Bernth!!!! YAARRRGGGGGG!!!!!

[@MattGregoryGuitar]

This is a fantastic exercise and really helps with organising your downward/upward pickslanting given that each string change comes on an upstroke, then a down stroke etc

[@pietruyssinck]

I do a variation on this exercise. Where you shift down a half step after every run, I change mode. I start with the ionian shape like you do, then I do myxolydian, dorian, aeolian, phrygian, locrian, lydian, ionian, ... Actually, the pattern shifts one string up each time. And after 7 iterations, I have descended half a step as well.

[@robbyq769]

I’m so glad i found this channel. Have been improving with these lessons

[@Ion_thruster]

Exactly what I need for my practice routine! I absolutely love your channel Bernth!

Greetings from Czech republic! Thanks for the best guitar lessons on the internet.

Yes they are some of the best lessons on the internet. And, hello to you from the State of Arizona, USA.

[@sulizztianz]

All your picking lesson make my progress better. Thanks Bro

[@mintycymru]

Cool vid Bernth. I've just come looking for something to help me speed up/control the speed of my picking hand and while drilling this pattern I noticed a distinct correlation between the speed, accuracy and economy of motion compared to the position of my hand relative to the string I'm playing. I'm guilty of 'reaching' for strings instead of moving my picking hand anchor, and now I see that the further I reach, the less economy of motion I have, which leads to slower and less accurate picking. So came back to watch your vid and see that you reposition your hand for each string - not a revelation in itself, but it confirms to me how important it is to have my picking hand in the correct place for the string I'm playing in order to get the best results from the least effort. Thanks man! I have something very tangible to work on....

[@steveboel12]

Hardest part was feeling the 16th notes, whilst playing not 8 notes, but 7 notes per string. Kind of like that one exercise where you play 4 notes per string, alternating between 2 strings, but feel it in triplets.

i learned that by learning to play songs like nuclear assault - emergency or testament - apocalyptic city, download them and slow them down at like 80% and then increase the pseed.

Bernth - Please could you do a video about how to hold a pick. I've always suffered with my pick slipping at faster speeds. I've tried so many ideas, picks, tutorials and still have never found the right technique to keep the pick in a consistent position. You're my last hope in fixing this! 🙌♥️

[@rajumpshot]

Maybe try attaching some grip tape like the kind they use on skateboards on both side of the pick?

[@raymondmarboh7699]

its good for me your lesson sir thanks god bless you..
