Whatever happens I’ll be playing guitar until I die.. great lesson thank you!!

[@stevesither7270]

I loved level 4 the best.....thanks so much for your great tips..ive been playing a long time too. One can ALWAYS learn more ! Great teacher Bernth !

[@jamesbarecky6000]

Highway level 4

[@stephendavis928]

Highway level 4

[@GarrettCampbell]

Tip #4 I liked the best. I find it too easy, when composing guitar arrangements, to "skimp" and just stick to power chords. But this one tip takes a boring song and makes it more technical, original, and interesting. Thanks, Bernth!!🤘👍

[@daralenoach]

I've been improving a lot over the last 8 months thanks in part to this channel.

[@Bernthguitar]

Happy that I can help out, thanks for sharing :)

[@cmorales566]

You are the absolute BEST KZbin teacher! Skills are insane! And the way you approach lessons makes sense!

[@giannispagonis6229]

This channel keeps getting better and better. I've been watching for a year and the improvement in that one year is really really big,thank you very much Bernth. Highway 4!

[@milosdamjanovic]

Damn Bernth you should release the whole song from these riffs, they are so so emotional and expressive

[@papamurf7653]

Thank you🙏🙏"Highway" 2&3. Simple yet melodic🤘🤘

[@aaronberg1618]

Thank you Bernth! I'm not a SHREDDER and I don't play METAL but your lessons, tips and quality advice has been helpful to me in my guitar journey. Mostly I like to play the BLUES and Rockabilly. I'm in my 50's and dropped the guitar for 23 years and picked it up again a few years ago. Now that we have all these really cool you tube guitar lessons and advice I'm like a kid in a guitar candy store, LOL!!! Thanks again Bernth.

[@GuitarFR34K121]

If you add all the levels together, it feels like it's the intro of a song that is building up to a nice... highway.

[@thomascoolberth2648]

That's what I'd do .... keep the simple progression but vary it through the song.

[@florianhunsche6222]

Das schöne an der Musik ist, dass sie in jeder Hinsicht keine Grenzen kennt. Es ist immer wieder eine Freude deine Videos zu sehen. ✌️

[@redkurn]

i like when you combined them all, it actually sounded like the beginning of a good song. the highway was definitely a nice touch. 😁

[@xxxxx7876]

Highway level 4 & 5. Awesome video. Excellent lesson!!! Love it. More video like this please.

[@erikp6844]

Amazing lesson, Bernth! I’m basic and absolutely love driving down highway 2

[@DaSeppii]

I really recommend to look at some Jazz stuff. You get to understand chords more and you can use that knowledge in your metal/rock solos, and not make it sound boring.

No bullshits No extra talks Straight to the point. Thank you Bernth, you're my master!

[@chadwickcole2426]

Highway! Level 4 blew my mind! Great video as always!

[@TyphonKrazilec]

Highway man! My choice would be to combine lvls 3, 4 and 5 ;) Thanks for all the tips.

[@emmanueldanteangelohunter3472]

Bernth you're so full of energy, thank you for always inspiring us and breaking down the guitar labyrinth 🙏👍👍👍

[@DomesticTruther]

Always always motivate me. I've played 6 hrs today. Picking it back up now. I'm slacking sitting here holding this phone

[@gabeprestia2650]

Highway. I loved how as the levels progressed it all complemented each other. Very melodic. Thanks again for the great lesson as always. Cheers my friend and guitar teacher. Stay safe

[@kingofkingsVAR]

Highway level 4. The exact video i needed today. Thank you!

[@sarthakkundu9782]

Again one of the best techniques video 🤩 keep bringing videos like this and improve our skills 🤘😁

[@ares8991]

I've been playing for 3 years and stuck with no improvement.. been following this channel for 1 month and i can see the improvement drastically.. thanks 👍🏼

[@EasyThere]

That is one of the best lessons I've watched this year. Worthy of a songwriting playlist.

[@joseortiz-nf3sj]

Thanks for these new ideas. I'm always stuck in the same power chords. I liked the level #3!!

[@benjamindiaz5305]

You´re the best Bernth! Keep going, greetings from Chile!

[@jlrinc1420]

These ideas arent necessarily exclusive. It would be work by starting using the first idea and gradually incorporating the other levels as the song progresses giving a real feeling of growth to an otherwise plain song. I really enjoyed the video and learned something I can incorporate immediately into my playing. Will definitely be checking out other videos by you. Great work!

[@digitaldragondamnati]

You explain song composition better then some collage classes. Great work

[@seanmurry6903]

I can confirm this. Fantastic lesson! Highway level 3!

[@jaysofacton8056]

Highway! Hearing them played one after the other at the end was great. I loved the progression. Favourite was level 4.

[@johnski3072]

Great lesson, thank you! Highway 2 & 4.

[@gregglowe6201]

Highway. I like #4 as it allows room for vocals or lead to carry the melody, and is quite full sounding on its own.

[@vlader8565]

Nice tips.Gonna try that!

[@maximejerjise276]

The quality of your content keeps improving Bernth, your channel is changing my life

[@joeshaw6318]

I am 71 years young I have been playing guitar since age 12 and I am learning new things from you. I like the chord sounds in level 2 and 4.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@orange-rv9ek]

I love your lessons although I don't really ever play metal music these exercises have already made a huge difference in my technique! Thank you!

[@mrdibdles9252]

Dude, out of all the guitar videos I've seen, you're by far the best. You are helping me make sense of the fretboard. You're a great teacher! Thank you

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I found adding the ninth a few years ago. It really changed how I play. Still good to have a refresher or someone's outlook on it.

[@SymbioticTomorrow]

Nice video, gonna try to use some of these tips next time I'm working on a song. Always helpful practical advice.

[@BuckSkull]

I like all the tips but the last one with triads is so concise and clean.

[@chrismitlyng1411]

HIGHWAY! My favorite was the first however, I believe that it’s because it opened up the entire concept for me. Each one has its own place but I think this is a killer concept for anyone whether they play primarily lead or rhythm guitar.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for teaching a class in a very simple step-by-step manner. I'm a teacher myself and I always try to scaffold content for my students. Slicing concepts into small digestible pieces and working up bit by bit is the best way to achieve proper understanding. Your thinking is visible for the viewers and it is very easy to understand what you're teaching. Thanks once again, congrats on the excellent work and keep it up! Cheers from Brazil!

[@ryanfulldark2775]

Highway, #4 was incredibly useful! Thanks man!

[@leannedeguzman3951]

You're absolutely great!! L, it inspires me to learn more about guitar and tricks within it...!!!

[@SeriousPoo]

So many great ideas, thanks for taking us down the inspiration highway once again, Bernth. :)

[@bryana297]

This video is so gdamn helpful. You make everything easily understandable in the examples. These are usable immediately.

[@KRayxKodessA]

SO happy I stumbled across your channel.

[@imrepalagyi2684]

highway! For me it was level 3. I just love chords that makes you feel a little bit of "Stretch". Probably why I love Karnivool

[@myufostory689]

I always envied how European metal sounded so emotionally melodic than here in the US. I feel like I'm walking down a highway of secrets.

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

This is one of best guitar videos I have ever seen. You have become one of my favorite channels on YT. Great job and that Ibanez is unique and sweet looking!

[@Bernthguitar]

Thank you Steve, I'm happy that you liked this one! :)

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

@@Bernthguitar Thank you for great content! You do an amazing job teaching. You quality of videos are good too.

[@scottc7952]

Greetings from Philadelphia, PA Love your channel Highway 5 ...Triads are essential

[@thecriticalsin6941]

This lesson was top class, all the lessons are amazing from Bernth!!!!

[@fernanflo329]

You're the best bernth...i love your tutorial, the best master of shred

[@Ariesmoonblood]

Highway!!! I like the sound of 2 and 3 a lot, but 4 and 5 helped more, mostly because I still dont land on the right notes/chords on the high strings. Helps to see the progressions even though theory also still goes over my head sometimes. Groovy!!! Keep it up.

[@9coil]

Highway level 4. Really enjoyed this lesson. Thank you!

[@rohitchaoji]

I dug the idea of progressing from a power chord base and then adding the thirds and ninths. Makes forming the chord shapes more intuitive. Now my biggest challenge is mechanically being able to hold those chords while sounding good.

[@phildo4708]

this channel and this vid in particular answered so many questions i had, thank you sir!

[@mxaxe5591]

This again is why your channel is so excellent. You deliver something for everyone of all skill levels and you do it in a way that easily understandable. Thank you so much!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ianweber318]

Just found your channel… 🙏🏾 Thanks Bernth! Highway 3,4&5 all day long!

[@ryanblumenow]

3:18 and the riff after it made me go "Whatttt??!!!" - *out loud*. It's like I heard what has been in my head. Earned a sub right there.

[@royrensburg3099]

Bernth ..you are super awesome 😎 👏👏👏thanks for sharing those brilliant insights 🙏🏼...bless you 🙏🏼

[@ThatMFShawnzy]

Highway! Level 3 was my favorite but 5 was the most informative

[@a.georgopoulou]

You're like a highway away from my country, Greece! Greetings from here👋🏻

[@72_Seasons]

Highway!! Mine has to be level 5. Love triads. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@joshuajurd348]

Bro you are an amazing teacher!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

[@richg1746]

Highway all of them. Each is unique sounding in its own way. I am just a little more liking 4. Another awesome lesson from a very awesome teacher.

[@arthazmenethill]

Thanks, all of your tutorial makes me feel better.

[@DoberMan4Box]

Awesome material!

[@sheatanner9935]

Highway: I like the idea of using all 5 levels in a song to create depth. Thank you for reminding me about some of this. Bands like Def Leppard and Whitesnake (I know, I know... not the brand of metal most folks here are into...) use many of those in every song as a way to add an extra dimension to the two guitarists thing. If they play the same thing... boring, but if they play similar, complimentary things... awesome. As I said.. thank you, Bernth for reminding me about this.

[@MTC312]

Highway! Tip 1-5. Awesome!

[@EclecticEssentric]

The highway to music is paved with good lessons. I like all the options offered. I always recommend you. I guess I'll just start picking up people's phones and subscribing them to you.

[@Ollivier10x56]

Please keep doing this kind of great content. You are an amazing teacher and guitarist (I hope I can purchase your online course soon because this has helped me too much) cheers

[@teaganwindago3132]

I have been playing a Jackson Pro for decades. I got a bit board with playing until I received an ESP today from a sponsor. All the spice is back. As far as this video I will have to watch it a million times to see what your doing. If you showed it in tab I could have it down in less than 5 minutes! You basically made a great sounding video that does not help probably most of the world. I never studied music. I can't read it nor do I ever want to. My fingers make the music and my ears approve if its good or not! My eyes have nothing to do with my creations. PLEASE take this into consideration for future videos. Show TAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People Please stand up and fight for your right to see TAB!!

[@ninevoltromeo]

Did you watch the whole highway? The whole highway is filled with tabs, from beginning to end.

[@pmarcio87]

This is Highway to Hell right there! Amazing as always, can't thank you enough for your videos and for inspiring us! My guitar playing has improved a lot from what you've shared, and I'm definitely purchasing your course to keep improving! Cheers from Brazil!

[@lechefmusic]

I‘ll take Highway #3 because #4 & #5 is the approach I use very (maybe too) often. #3 inspires me to try new #highways

[@gkroberts7816]

Highway. Level 4 for me. Wicked lesson. Should make my riffs sound more better. Cheers

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

I'm learning the basics of theory and intervals plus chord structure are my main diet right now. In this video your hand positioning is of real interest to me. In one of your previous videos you taught me about thumb positioning and I am working on that every day. I believe in your mission to grow your channel, I am a small time player and growing my channel, I have very few subscribers but I have subscribed to your channel and will spread the word about your fine teaching.

[@esp_09]

nice I need to start making my riffs more complex, these tips hopefully will help me sound even more melodic

[@jamesbarthelemy5926]

Highway for sure. Using the extended chord is my fave

[@joshuathurnim2346]

your channel does deserve more subs. keep up the awesome work dude

[@shattermage]

Highway. I always loved the add9 chords, but adding the 3rds to them I think made them that much better!

[@ErickWendelTraining]

for sure highway level 5!!

[@Mars-Lander]

Highway level 2 for a super quick takeaway upgrade to standard power chords, awesome stuff :)

[@ritambanerjee7334]

Highway 💯 I think level 4 would be my personal best, because it totally sounds the most expressive and powerful at the same time. Will incorporate these ideas in my playing, thanks for the great lessons Bernth ❤

[@robertocruz9677]

My favorite was the level 2 highway. It sounded eerie and darker. LOVED those tones.

[@lukaszkrupa9677]

good work man !!

[@ronaldsison9999]

its amazing lesson.

[@davidtomaz8923]

Oi, sou do Brasil! Tenho acompanhado suas vídeo aulas, estou aprendendo bastante, muito obrigado!

[@jonsykes3501]

Level 3 I like best because I feel I been stuck on knowing the concept of level 2 for awhile. Note I'm not an avid listener of metal or heavy rock music, this guy is just a fantastic teacher when it comes to understanding guitar!

[@juanaugusto5547]

Ficou muito melhor, deu um brilho pra música ... Congrats man

[@jeannetteTX]

Highway! Dropping the redundant roots, after? adding the thirds and ninths, plus all the steps to make the chords shapes easier to perform... all my favs. By the way, that "6 worst guitar... plus fixes" video was awesome and deserved the attention! I haven't been playing seriously enough to make those mistakes and now I have more tools to keep my playing on track. Thanks!

[@vidmohit4684]

Keep spreading the guitar message! Your channel is so awesome with quality content, this lesson is gold.
