I can play basic chords and a scale or two a couple of songs but I can't learn fast I'm still stuck and don't know what else to learn I need to practice but I'm not that good what do you think I should do

[@_FrankMatthews_]

​​@@joshuawelker5492 learnt my basics from: William Leavitt A Modern Method for Guitar - Volumes 1, 2, 3

[@DreadNovella]

So many people get stuck on electric not realizing how amazing the acoustic is

[@thomashalley7258]

What about a 12 string?

[@wereallthinkingit9389]

I need to break it to you... Anything you play sounds awesome It's impossible to pick what i enjoy more because everything you play is ear chocolate

[@CoolPapaJMagik]

They are both very different and beautiful in their own ways. There’s no debate, only harmony and reciprocation

[@rumbeach375]

The acoustic sounds more like a Guitar. More instrument sound.

[@Spicyketchup04]

And I want both in my room

[@eitanyakov2635]

​@@Spicyketchup04 yes

[@learningchannel3850]

​@@rumbeach375 still just depends on what you are playing. some genres really will sound off with classical guitar

[@RedDeadEnjoyer]

​@@learningchannel3850yes. I'm saying from experience, rock and metal sound too off to play, but I still do it

[@marklavric8323]

No win, no loose. Both are great instruments

[@midpiano3067]

But there is different The elec guitar is easy using but cost more to plugin The normal guitar is not easy to play it this song but not cost you .

[@marklavric8323]

Fantastic. Was that song you recorded in Chapel/Church you hired for recording reason?

[@TableChairChair]

​@@midpiano3067 They make different sounds

[@knapton118]

lose

[@kurkkumopo2281]

Imo acoustic should be your first guitar cause you learn basic chords and you really have to press the strings. Then when you feel like you are ready you can buy electric guitar.

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

The electric sounds fantastic . The acoustic sounds heavenly.

[@TheRohanwilson74]

I would love to hear them layered over each other..

[@Stratmaster_]

Literally the best idea 🤌

[@jfields343]

There's no debate. Both are beautiful in their own right!

[@amgreenhihgaming]

Stolen comment

[@user-ze2kb6gj3t]

​@@amgreenhihgamingHave an opinion : Steal ?

[@kylebunseelall7487]

I have always been someone who loves electric over acoustic. But DAMN that acoustic was JUST MIND BLOWING. Why did it sound japanese? Such an amazing and tranquil piece!

[@deefrost5695]

I thought the acoustic version sounded like Flamenco

[@sanate_sanghming]

Because you been listening too much of Ichikaaa!!

[@lasisisimeon5565]

My friend I are very observative 💪 respect your analysis

[@jordanread1068]

The acoustic gave me a medieval vibe. Part of the reason i prefer it over electroc aside from less set up to play. No need for an amp. Very distinct sound

[@kidscarecenter]

It sounds like a folksong

[@bae6009]

Playing this riff acoustic version in an arena setup sounds amazing

[@DrHuskiv]

they are both great instruments. if one is better than the other, then it only depends on the song and genre of music

[@RJBlankenship]

WOW! I can’t say one is better than the other. In fact I would love to hear the song with both blended or taking separate refrains.

[@adhyayan1353]

Electric is magical acoustic is soothing

[@1RobHunter1]

The Artistic value of both is equal on both sides for what they are. Work of Art.

[@nox_ross]

Listened to both, and I’m just starting to learn. Both are incredible and skill to aspire to. Thanks for posting this, and I’ll be studying.

[@paulfry1128]

The delay n reverb on the electric version gives it a more mysterious feeling. Whereas the acoustic version I get a more somber harpsichord classical feeling. One isn't any better than the other imo both are phenomenal lol.

[@gideon5493]

It's settled anything played by you sounds amazing, i think even it's a piece of cardboard you will manage to make it melodic .

[@spikerzbc]

Both are great. Together in the right spots with the right builds and decays into and out from will make for a very EPIC song. You always amaze me bro!!!

[@gniachanh8353]

They complement each other so well together they are magic

[@himaneeshbhattacharya]

I am convinced that Bernth is a reincarnation of Mozart

[@himaneeshbhattacharya]

@@savantdavant also because the idea of having parallel melody lines in the same key for piano was thought of by Mozart. For guitar, I think you're smart enough

[@hennieclaude3964]

Yes, Indeed !

[@Will-lh4lh]

He could be, he's Austrian and probably the best musician in his country

[@AlessandroDiomampo]

[@sakurojason]

I feel like acoustic guitars are so unbelievably underrated in rock and I still think the harmony between the two sounds incredibly amazing. If you know what you’re doing when making the music, you can bring tears in peoples eyes with the joy the people could have.

[@GurpreetSingh-zj9nh]

They are both beautiful.. i have a les paul electric and a classical acoustic (nylon strings).. i play usually the classical one and other is for stange performances, home practices at night (when i have to put headphones so no one is disturbed) or when i fancy different tones to choose from.... so i would say they are incompareable.. (different intruments altogather)

[@Vix_21]

Both sounds great, but the acoustic gives more feel ❤

[@Oeil_dHermine]

Both sound incredible. Acoustic low notes sound deeper, but you can do much different things on both of them...

[@Blaze_Drumz]

I like how this is the chord progression to “Blinding Lights”

[@mt-zz8wh]

I have to say acoustic:)

[@slushysaturn]

Bro turned the metal rock, ‘Imm gonna go so HARD’ rifff into ‘LETS DANCE!’

[@KIRKW-jc8ej]

The guitar player makes any guitar sound kickass ! Thank You , Thank You for your great abilities & keep Rockin' ! !

[@simsaksangma4541]

Acoustic guitar sound's great and clear in this battle

[@patrickmcgovern8615]

​@saujanyapoudel8910 The song was actually created on electric. Although he did create an unplugged version, that is an alternate version created after the original.

[@leopoldofernandezjr.508]

Acoustic Guitar has cleared clean sounds.

[@davidstargle5123]

Man they both sound fantastic and in my opinion I thithink you should layer them over top of each other and that would be epic!!! The sound of both at the same time, wow. Really man you should try that,just to see how it'd sound, awesome stuff as usual man, you're an Amazing guitar player

[@TheAbn38]

You ask tough questions cause both sound so good in their own way

[@puff8293]

You can't really compare the two, it depends on the person listening I think the acoustic sounded better but the electric would have sounded much better than the acoustic you had changed the tone a bit, maybe lowered the distortion

[@brandonroy5704]

The 2 versions are beautiful, personally I prefer the electric version because with the effects I find that it adds an extremely clean and pleasant sound

[@guitarcamo5473]

It all depends on the song, for example the acoustic guitar sounds better with his song but trying to play thunderstruck by acdc on an acoustic doesn't sound very good. Then there's songs with heavy distortion, while the acoustic can be used its just easier to play those songs with an electric

[@liamcurran6955]

The electric guitar looks like something that Indiana Jones would stumble across in an ancient Mayan temple

[@jeffbryant7910]

First of all the song itself is "Angelic". So much talent. Always amazes me. For that melody and tempo, I think Acoustic has it in this example, although I agree with the general consensus, that both are magnificent.

[@bennettfloyd2715]

Didn't know this was a "debate." Both sound great in their own right. It just depends on what you're playing and the feel you're going for. Different tools for different jobs. That's all.

[@stathispanayiotopoulos9800]

This dude isn't just a magician in skill terms but he is genius writer too...beautiful

[@TuneForger]

I’ve always wondered - if you’re hitting exactly the same notes on the electric as the acoustic, why do so many of the notes that you hammer on, pull off, or slide to end up just not being audible in the electric version? Quieting some notes makes an awesome melody, but I can’t get the same effect when I try to play the riff.

[@Jotaro_kun4k20]

Electric - Looks well Acoustic - Sounds well

[@copieopie5335]

I see them as seperate all together. Cause with both you can get such a variety of sounds, different strings can affect the sound, body types, etc so I always find it impossible to compare them

[@97stratocaster21]

Great playing like this sounds amazing on either instrument

[@fodormate7871]

For the riff, (I think) the acoustic guitar is better, but for the first solo, the electric one is brilliant. Both songs are beautiful! Thanks Master

[@leonsunu1209]

Dopamine is so much better to me on acoustic but when it rains, it pours f.e. i can't imagine on acoustic. As well as waterworks on electric There is not a better instrument, just the best suitable one for the song

[@bigm2711]

What about Electric vs Acoustic vs Classical guitars?

[@WittleWeed]

If I'd HAVE to pick a side I'd choose electric, 1. Distortion and I'm a core kid at heart 2. There are some really neat plug ins and pedels that you can make your electric guitar change in so many ways (and yes I know you can with electric acoustics also but shhhhh) and 3. I personally am way more comfortable around the fretboard and iverall guitar of an electric

[@korskorpi]

Acoustic wins everytime. Natural beauty and magic ✨

[@allislove9890]

horses for courses - but there's something more direct and intimate, immediate about acoustic playing. Always feel a micro relay gap with electric and I'm not feeling the same vibrational union - on the other hand with electric, the variables and the power are mighty pleasing 😄

[@andndmmcmnf1321]

I love them both but I have to go with the more natural sounding one which is acoustic✊🏾

[@aayushneupane1839]

Nothing can beat the melody of acoustic 🖤

[@mindtreat]

It's like asking what's better of a thin or thick paint brush. It totally depends on what you're about to paint (play). The electric also has a slight distortion on it which makes it hard to even compare. If you were to play Cello Suite 1 by Bach, I would prob prefer the acoustic. But if you were to play Master of Puppets, i'd go for the electric.

[@Anupam115]

I'm working on a riff that revolves around the same kinda harmonic tapping concepts like dopamine has. Hope to come up with it soon. Been following bernth since 2019, he has been one of my biggest inspiration. Surely in my top 3. His lessons are top🗿♥️

[@GodSINt]

I like how full of the acoustic sounds compared to the electric which sounds kind of distant... Both are awesome though.. one thing I've found in my years is a person who knows what they're doing could make a plastic miniature toy guitar sound good... You should play it on one of those... I bet you'd rock it

[@neon_honkai]

Both sound beautiful in different ways. The electric sounds etheral and the acoustic sounds more down to earth and deep.

[@yes-ul6hq]

Combine them and have it where every set of the riff is a response from the other instrument then have them play together for the chorus and maybe bridge

[@petmop1309]

Pre solo acoustic chords picked then solo on the electric is the way. Through combination they are the best

[@Wolfenstein3000]

The thing is with electrics, unless you're doing straight to Amp no distortion, you have to factor in the pedal set-up on top of the actual guitar itself since a lot of the tone is determined from that. Hell, even the Amp itself needs to be taken into account.

[@Vanshikagabra26]

truly love them both they are good in different ways but outmost it depends on the person playing

[@arjunvanderwillik6415]

I enjoy electric more but this riff is written for acoustic, what I mean by that is that this type of riff just works better on acoustic. Reason being is that although electric sounds really cool some notes just feel out of place and could have been replaced for a longer note, but on acoustic it works perfectly.

[@youtubecommentergal4346]

I like both guitars honestly as both sound good and bring different feels and moods and colours to me. Also love bass guitar.

[@MB-so9mc]

Fuck the guitar, this pattern is the hell of a masterpiece!

[@amgreenhihgaming]

Why swear tho

[@JSp4wN]

​@@amgreenhihgaming why fucking not?!? 😂

[@amgreenhihgaming]

@@JSp4wN there is no point to it

[@hisky.]

​@@amgreenhihgaming no fucking point to it?!

[@amgreenhihgaming]

@The. yes there is no point to it bro

[@AmyGnzlzMkle]

Downloaded! Soo good!!

[@johnpomeroy8602]

This is something else. I've heard this beat and notes in another song.. not saying you stole it just brings memories to a song I can't remember

[@demyankoskinen]

This melody kinda reminds me of the Unprocessed band. They also use similar guitar playings

[@stormdude10234]

Depends on the setting and the audience you're trying to play for.. turn a dial on the electric, or whatever it was plugged into, and it would have sounded completely different.... But you knew that already, didn't you? So you set it up to sound best for what you were trying to play for. Same with the acoustic and the distance from the mic, and what you had that mic tuned to receive. Neither was better but magical in their own way.

[@Froeschchen]

They're both amazing

[@kaijudd4036]

Also, to me listening to the 2 it all sounds like a journey... With the electric being the beginning and the middle, and the accustic being the road so far to the conclusion... It is all just beautiful...

[@nicholasselke5214]

I’d like to hear a slightly slower version on an acoustic 12 string guitar. Now that may very well be mind blowing. Both of these were great though

[@luckywrld]

In this comparison, I prefer the acoustic but most often you can replicate everything on the Electric guitar too if the distortion and tone settings are set correctly to default.

[@matthewcampbell3155]

Equal, harmoniful and beautiful in their own right. An acoustic user myself. Love what ya do!

[@Langford0101]

Both amazing and pair extremely well together

[@Nick_Reinhardt]

For this riff, I like the acoustic. It sounds like a bridge, so going back to a distorted chorus would be sick after this

[@stevec9771]

I love the electric, but the acoustic is all you ! The electric Is " tric " simply put, picks up everything electric.some drive, some static gives the music a nice sound. You can hide flaws the amp will protect you. Acoustic guitar shows just HOW DAMN GOOD YOU REALLY ARE ! You are Gifted and well practiced and a pure pleasure to listen to as well as watch. You ,young man are BLESSED .

[@BOSSWAFFLE1434]

I love electric guitar but there's just so many extra things that go along with it. Amps, pedals, stuff like that. As a guy that grew up in a not so wealthy home we didn't always have the money to repair/maintain all the things that went with the electric. And when the power goes, I can still play my acoustic ❤️

[@janellbowman4399]

I luv them both but let me say u are bad to the bone brother my family plays has had bands & iv known lots of musicians but u are amazing & ur playing style makes it even more amazing & this song dopamine is just breathtaking . More power to u man keep on keeping on.

[@chrisnorrell7489]

Both sound beautiful

[@emekao502]

I lean acoustic but they both sound incredible!

[@hostile_hero2697]

Both versions are great, however I enjoy the simplicity and clear crisp tones that the acoustic guitar produces.

[@user-83hricueb7]

Both pretty cool Of course accustic instrument Are more limited than electric instruments Since u can change the sound and put effects on it. The electric sound was very full and warm While the accustic sounded very thin Which is a recording issue But overall For me I would go for nylon strings Classical guitar

[@mellofan2012]

Play both tracks simultaneously!!!

[@imametalhead696]

Both is good but goddamn the clean riffs on acoustic sound very clean!

[@ericbelliofficial]

You are a sick guitarist ! So much technic !!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@ericbelliofficial]

About your question ! It depends the kind of music you want to do :) and the vibes you want to express 🤘🏻

[@crucix1483]

Depends on the song. I'm primarily an electric player, but there are some things you just have to have an acoustic for, and vice versa. In this example, I preferred the acoustic.

[@erdenebaatarbatmunh6841]

They are both equal and it shall not be compared Plus the electic guitar has that hard feeling (which i like) And the acoustic one has a warm tone (which i like as well)

[@airelezany5845]

For me i dont really care about the sound as long is sounds good and tune...i preferred the feeling..i love the feeling of eletric guitar when it comes to solo

[@LucasMastropasqua]

The acoustic was actually more articulate and present but both were awesome. Mike Dawes is another genius on acoustic I’d love to hear what you guys would come up if you were collaborating!

[@vedicviraatjoshi4526]

Bro i freaking love your guitar the ibanez is this an original or customized?

[@faisholalmaun]

I love the acoustic tone, but love electric guitar too. Booth instrument are awsome! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

The acoustic guitar blew electric away here. Nice cleaner sounding tone really worked. All of the tapping high up on the neck, gives that softer warmer tone, that works for the music. You should do more acoustic!

[@DG3_Official]

Acoustic is for calmer slower style songs while electric is for more upbeat and faster songs, its really a pick your poison type of thing since they are both good and in the end it all comes down to what you prefer.

[@oddfreaks6452]

As someone who’s played both as well. All I can say there is no winner except everyone who gets to hear this sound. I will say the electric feels like an anime battle about to go down and the acoustic sounds like the breakdown for a character flashback or something before everything kicks back to 11

[@worshiphismajesty4235]

Make a tutorial on this .. Loved both

[@paulograca3937]

I like both. For me the riff are perfect in both guitars. Is obvious the sound is diferent. In my opinion you must record this theme in two versions electric and acoustic

[@rhedonlyrhed9155]

I like the acoustic coz it sounds cleaner and uhm refreshing? It does sound brighter which gives me dopamine hehe but the grunge on the electric is cool too. The acoustic just clears my head when i listen to it tho

[@ManuelMedina-tn2ej]

Personalmente amo el sonido de la acústica,me siento más conectado al sonido y el instrumento,pero sin dudarlo cualquier instrumento en las manos correctas como las de este hombre es un deleite escuchar esa armonía

[@jenniferhstandley5700]

Yeah! They both sound important!

[@charleshulsey7399]

Both are fantastic, This style in my opinion resonates well on acoustic.

[@91karol]

I think if you would keep the electric's sound clear (without any fuzz) and put a little bit of chorus, the sound will be much better... don't know if it would win the battle, but... what do you think?

[@paulpennington-mv7rt]

Which sounds better? "Better", is totally relative, to the listener. I think each is good for what they have to do, and for what is available to make the sounds. 🪕😎🎸

[@zachallen5399]

I like both and you are a awesome guitarist

[@GameDevMadeEasy]

The acoustic version just had a more full sound to it for this riff. But they both sound great. That's what makes a good riff, well good. It sounds great on acoustic and electric.
