Thanks for your great help very very good every videos I am from India you are not reply my comment

[@Corezina]

@BERNTHGuitarAcademy unfortunately the course is not for me, I've purchased it today, but I would like to do a refund, how could I process it? Thank you in advance, I couldn't find this info on the official site

[@josephmorrison2055]

But I'm not self-taught! I have Bernth.

[@JackVac_joeblower]

😂

[@DreamChaser507]

Absolutely! Bernth is basically your own personal Yoda, whispering ancient wisdom into your ear...or headphones.

[@VlogsNiKuyang]

Nice💪

[@ebosetaleisesele2451]

You are BERNTH taught😐

[@ShinigamiAnger]

Except if you make mistakes he can’t see you and correct as needed, resulting in the build of bad habits that could potentially be very hard to get rid of. I hope it’s not the case though

[@bpabustan]

Bernth is so correct! Always go back to the basics, the fundamentals. You will get more mileage if you always vist the fundamentals.

[@AdamAltemus]

I find that vibrato is a huge differentiator. When people knock a guy for "mindless shredding", I often see that the player often has a terrible vibrato and their playing sounds hectic and chaotic because of that.

[@genesises]

almost every time someone drops the "mindless shredding" line the player is amazing and the comment comes from some elitist douche :p

[@user-pk8uf3er7v]

Even recording your self playing guitar through a phone will help a lot with timing.. that’s what I do and I can really tell when I’m rushing or dragging

[@Shani_Friedmam]

Recording myself was a really good tool for me when I started to do it. You really hear and see all the mistakes you missed when you played the part.

[@rockerets]

played guitar so long i became kirk hammet, until i found bernth

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Such a good analogy. Got really quite good, with lots of potential... but then did nothing to build on it for 25 years....and gradually became a sloppy blues dad, raking & stabbing at strings..

[@Jack.Waters]

One of the Best things about you is that you realized your Status from the young years. Demanded of yourself to fix yourself. And from your own trials you have created these quality courses and Videos. As always thanks Bernth.

[@kevinholzwarth7553]

I am completely self taught and I find your videos and Ola England’s videos super helpful… I am not joining a band, but I like getting better, so I appreciate your content… so thank you! 😊

[@joshpetit44]

You’re not technically self taught if you watch instructional videos like this to learn.

[@smellslikelayne]

[@SoulFaeWorld]

Great advice. Simple and concise many thanks 🙏🏻

[@jrlikeshockey]

I’m self taught for now but going for lessons soon!. Thanks Bernth! ❤

[@localchumb]

Rushing. SO YOU DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

[@Samuel_B_]

Thank brother! Been watching you long time. Do you have new courses?

[@peterbatten596]

I remember when I first started being self taught and if I had to choose my favorite, I started doing it by accident when obsessively learning Elliott Smith songs. Later when I got more serious about my playing, I’ve always loved the neoclassical style and the phrase used was “secondary dominant”. When playing in a chord progression it’s using a major chord in a minor 3rd. A 5 v of 5.

[@AbbieGreenMusic]

Thanks bernth! 🤘🎸

[@LucaVent0]

Hello bernth

[@abhinavsubedi8028]

right....WRONG.. damnn that stare was so metal

[@akhumofficial364]

[@lueysixty-six7300]

"self-taught" → who said I taught myself shit ..??

[@chandannarzary9973]

Hello Bernth Sir I am from India so is it possible to join your guitar course? I m very much keen🙏

[@tristengodfrey1529]

Man, this past like...5 years or so, ive completely lost my passion for music. I am self-taught so i dont actually know all that much realistically, i dont find any new music that makes me want to pick up the guitar and try to learn it anymore, im always working and would rather spend my precious few hours of free time playing video games with my wife than practice guitar, or language, or anything i used to do. Life is just too draining and at 28, im no better than when i left highschool a decade ago..

[@timothya2742]

Self taught. If you do not count the 100 or more other guitar players I've jammed with. 90% I considered more advanced. I must be learning because everything you said made sense

[@campy3888]

But playing is so much more fun than practicing :( It does feel really good when practice yields noticeable rewards. You just gotta trust in the method!

[@RapnapL]

yes lol as long as you're not playing for other people, playing bad wasn't matter

[@hnguyen0610]

For a split second in your vid @1:37… I thought I saw your right eye 👁️ stayed one position, while your left eye 👁️ moved 😂. My bad

[@fattony4961]

I use your lessons on KZbin for theory and practice. While it’s helped me improve it’s not where I want to be. 5the new course your offering is it compatible for use on an iPhone? I have no computer and use my phone for everything. I don’t want to order the course only to find out it’s incompatible with my phone. I do plan on getting a computer recording setup so I can record original material and lessons to practice but til then would this work?

[@dabiededoo]

well.. i am such one after my 13 weeks. i doing the same since week 8.. sometimes have something new, then i have a thing added.. or change a bit.. but thats me haha

[@matthewbrenn8307]

practising to a slow beat fast is superusefull.btw.

Premature epickulation.....!!!

[@BetterCallJamie]

It’s the guitar, what you know is never enough. The wises person admits they know nothing and is an open book An idiots thinks they know everything and won’t listen to advice

[@ivantolstov6230]

You will fail unless you can spend 2+h learning guitar each day for 2-4 years

[@michaelharris2540]

This is exactly the answer for those questions, “Am I too old to learn guitar?”. The answer is usually “Yes”because with age comes responsibility and working adults, with kids, have less free time to dedicate to their practice.

[@wealldieatthehandsoflovedones]

I listen to all kinds of music, and play all kinds of music. Ive never dressed like a freak to seem as in the culture of any music. I guess thats why people freak out when i bust out lyrics from anything
