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

[@jamesbraybrook1301]

Have you got a video on how to do that style of tapping and sliding you're doing? Ive been playing for a while but never been able to play anything like this

[@georgiossirgoudis9207]

I think in this case won the acoustic guitar 🎸

[@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

[@patienceafari-baah4669]

It sounds like a folksong

[@DrHuskiv]

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

[@bae6009]

Playing this riff acoustic version in an arena setup sounds amazing

[@adhyayan1353]

Electric is magical acoustic is soothing

[@gniachanh8353]

They complement each other so well together they are magic

[@KIRKW-jc8ej]

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

[@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]

Fr

[@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.

[@Froeschchen]

They're both amazing

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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

[@Vix_21]

Both sounds great, but the acoustic gives more feel ❤

[@mt-zz8wh]

I have to say acoustic:)

[@chrisnorrell7489]

Both sound beautiful

[@mellofan2012]

Play both tracks simultaneously!!!

[@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.

[@Vanshikagabra26]

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

[@hayhay9299]

both are good in different ways

[@leopoldofernandezjr.508]

Acoustic Guitar has cleared clean sounds.

[@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

[@stathispanayiotopoulos9800]

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

[@liamcurran6955]

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

[@Jotaro_kun4k20]

Electric - Looks well Acoustic - Sounds well

[@simsaksangma4541]

Acoustic guitar sound's great and clear in this battle

[@saujanyapoudel8910]

Because it was originally played on an acoustic

[@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.

[@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

[@jenniferhstandley5700]

Yeah! They both sound important!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@demyankoskinen]

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

[@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

[@DragonXoz]

Comparing apples to oranges, both are used for different reasons. Love it all

[@prajintamang5598]

both reflected different moods to me

[@korskorpi]

Acoustic wins everytime. Natural beauty and magic ✨

[@aayushneupane1839]

Nothing can beat the melody of acoustic 🖤

[@jmosf]

They’re both increíble, but acoustic gave me chills.

[@97stratocaster21]

Great playing like this sounds amazing on either instrument

[@mrfinlay7516]

Both are great and very uniquely beautiful

[@kellyschroeder7437]

Love them both. Depends on mood. 🎶

[@Langford0101]

Both amazing and pair extremely well together

[@hostile_hero2697]

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

[@petmop1309]

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

[@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 😄

[@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

[@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...

[@Huntress59]

Both are amazing ! Apples and Oranges

[@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)

[@1RobHunter1]

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

[@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🗿♥️

[@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

[@youtubecommentergal4346]

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

[@Blaze_Drumz]

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

[@imametalhead696]

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

[@amygonzalez906]

Downloaded! Soo good!!

[@razzledingle]

Both versions are worthy of being heard in the same song.

[@HiteshSharma-uj4rq]

I got confused because both are great 👍🏻👍🏻

[@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

[@zachallen5399]

I like both and you are a awesome guitarist

[@lillymcd_3]

Both of them have a beautiful sound

[@Godofchina]

Both are meant for different things It’s like comparing bass and guitar

[@katatonico75]

Wow, so many work to reach this level

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@faisholalmaun]

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

[@hennieclaude3964]

The acoustic ! It's so beautiful. Du spielst so toll ! Küsschen

[@StandForSomethingGood]

They’re both great - totally different.

[@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.

[@TheAbn38]

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

[@basterd46k64]

Ce morceau est incroyable tant que c'est Bernth qui le joue. A chaque fois il me met une claque de génie.

[@charleshulsey7399]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@steadydriftin3765]

Sounds like the acoustic should be the intro for the electric section both sound great

[@mutantkoffee]

I enjoy more th3 electric, major presence and tone and color, etc

[@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

[@kakao6125]

i love the metallic timber and sound of the riff on electric

[@carlbecklehimer1898]

It would just depend on my mood that day on which one I'd like better.

[@googooking5596]

Amazing playing btw

[@violet_steak3412]

I really like both. Thet sound really good.

[@JacobyBlair]

Both, this is an endless battle that will never be won

[@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

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

[@NEILBUTOWSKY]

Both are awesome

[@pawee3731]

I juz enjoy ur playin both men👍👍

[@MaydupNem]

That riff is so damn hypnotizing

[@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.

[@rixzsid3112]

Acoustic ❤
