Dude, you don't get enough credit for being basically a genius. Seriously, the observations you've made, tested, & refined are only paralleled by your explanations of them. Thanks for sharing, Bernth!

Sir, I request you to do a lesson series related to theory. From the very first level [ 0 ] . Because I have been your KZbin student for 3 years or more and the things I have learned from you are priceless.❤

ありがとうございます！

[@thomascoolberth2648]

Herr Bernth , you are the absolute best on the planet. Best workouts for someone who fell away from playing for a bit. This turns losing some skill into a vast opportunity.

[@methal0-111]

Hey Bernth! May I suggest a video about the parts before in-between and after a actual practice session? What I mean is stuff like stretching and loosing up you muscles. So what are you doing before after a session in order to prevent hurting yourself.

[@spectrecut]

Hey Bernth, Your exercises are awesome! I`ve been in patreon for 2 weeks and I see progress already. Thank you so much for putting out this great content, you are truly amazing dude!!

3 years ago i had to move (continents) so I had to sell my guitars and then I didnt have enough money or certainty to get a guitar again UNTIL NOW. Just got a good ol' Ibanez RG but realized I forgot many things, skill wise too, 3 years without practice is a lot. Only a few riffs come out from the back of my brain & muscle memory. Somehow I realized I have the opportunity to learn guitar again. It's funny... This "if I could start over" ... Turns out I can. 😅 Thanks for the video! I'm making a roadmap of topics I want to learn, I'll definitely fill-in with your content :) Keep up the good work, you're a great inspiration!

[@regonalbaldwin]

🙌🏼 Your instructions are making me feel like it’s possible to get through this fog I find myself in. Thank you so very much!

[@testinggamesandgameplays]

In my opinion, I recommend that you learn many songs of your level and then your brain will have an easier time playing these songs faster, and thus repeat until you reach the speed you want. I remember that when I played classical guitar a lot, my friends asked me how you manage to play so fast with your fingers? And now I realized that it was because I had moved the fingers of my right hand so many times that I could move them super fast, fitting the fingers together. notes with the left hand, this worked for me and I'm going to try this method with the electric guitar hehe

[@sorenahlback]

All five are great exercises and this video is for sure going into my practice library!

[@Assassin-n3e]

Hi I am your new student. Have been watching your videos since long time ago. Now I'm finally ready for your lessons. 😅

[@USMCDR]

Great question and great video

[@EVEROSFP1]

This HR GIGER Ibanez is super cool...

I wish the Patreon $5.00 per month (full member) level had more openings cause I would totally join. I just checked and it says it’s sold out. Thank God I already purchased his Shred Masterclass course. 😊

If you don't know: THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO PAT MARTINO! Pat lost everything and had to start guitar again and went even better than ever before. His Book is insanely interesting. greetings from Tyrol

i hit a wall when it came to any growth in my guitar skills back before you tube was around i became so discouraged i put it down for 20 years. i started playing again a while back and was surprised at how much i had lost. hoping some of your tips on here help out. thanks for putting this within our reach.

[@pasta4762]

The best thing to do after 20 years of no practice is practice but it's just a guess

[@younggriff4703]

ah, what a waste

[@WatchRayPlay]

Hey man, I've been playing about 20 years as well, but haven't scratched the surface of your level. My biggest weakness now I feel is a lack of understand or application of music theory, in making my own music or just jamming. If you could place relative importance on theory over technique (I chose to roll a 9 on technique and a 1 on theory), where would you rate these on your relearning quest?

[@chasegarrett-zw4nt]

Hello, awesome video i am trying these tomorrow. Im somewhat new to guitar and love your tone how do you achieve that. Is it mainly the guitar or amp and if so what are you using here? Thanks!

[@kawafanatic]

I have been playing for 4-5 months now but not consistently so I describe myself as a complete beginner still. I know 7-8 basic open cords, but that's it. The routines shown in this video seem very difficult for me. Should I still implement them in my practice or is it to early for them? I am just wondering because you mentioned at the beginning, that these would be exercises you would go for if you lost all your knowledge and had to start from scratch but for me even after a couple of months of basic playing these seem to be very advanced. Thanks a lot!

[@mltproductionstudio]

Short answer. Yes!

[@FrankPapadakis]

Yes do them, of course it will be difficult, it is until it isnt from practicing! but seriously though do them, just do them at whatever pace you can now and over time you will improve, thats how you get better!

[@kawafanatic]

@@FrankPapadakis Sir, yes sir! I am determined to get as good as I can. Hardest thing is to stick to my own pace and not compare myself to others. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@colinburroughs9871]

Bernth is the guy for learning right hand/rhythm and control. There's other people who do melody/chords/harmonic stuff in a way that's a bit easier to digest. But do this. It'll save you years putting this stuff in place first. Where chords and melody lines fit make way more sense when the rhythmic stuff is solid.

[@tak15h1m04ri]

from Malaysia with love n friendship.. I am pleased n appreciate what you'd gave me ..(to watch n learn with) million thanks to you..

[@MrDaqar]

This video is basically me. Been playing a right hand guitar for over 20 years, just to realise it should've been a left handed one. x(

[@colvincinema7341]

IMPORTANT QUESTION - Do I have to fully to understand why I'm practicing these scales in order for them to help me?

[@Toisen]

If I needed to start all over again I would switch my sitting position to classic to not screw up my back

[@Lektuerekurs]

same here. cramped up my shoulder over the years

[@reeteereetee3636]

Thanks for the tip

[@BlackShiftification]

In the first exercise How do u mute the C E and A on the G B and E strings when u play them with the same finger?? Is it just lifting the whole finger so the other notes don’t ring, since you’re just barring the strings? Or do I need to learn to play it without barring at all?

[@gitarman666]

I would have learned hybrid After more than 1/2 century as a guitarist, those unused fingers on the picking hand refuse to move as commanded So although a piece like Cliffs of Dover is relatively easy in all other ways I need to tuck the pick and use thumb and forefinger to play that lick up to speed it’s simply not authentic sounding

[@alpha_2993]

Insanely interesting video, loved it ! (ps : does anyone know what is this guitar, I know it's an ibanze but what's the model ?)

[@alpha_2993]

After some research I found! For those who are looking for it its an shrg1z, limited edition guitare discontinued by ibanez two years after its release in 2007 , super rare model so price is around 10K

[@nunyabiz012]

Love the techniques and tips. But every Bernth Video: “Let me show you this really easy technique/riff”” -- plays a shred solo that would put Yngwie to shame.... 😛 Just kidding! Keep doing what you’re doing man... I like the challenge!

[@pmarciano1717]

That’s what I need I just startet 2 weeks ago !!!!!

[@Lektuerekurs]

great! learn some cool riffs!! and focus on good tone and articulation (maybe not right away but after 5-6 months when you have an idea of whats going on). play the same riff in different styles (heavy chugs, clean picking, swing timing). and use a metronome from time to time. even if slow at the beginning (metronome also not right away maybe timeframe wise after you have developed callouses on your fingers, as a good time frame)

[@pmarciano1717]

So abwegig ist das gar nicht. Mir ist 2009 genau das passiert! Fokale Dystonie nimmt Dir die Fingerunabhängigkeit, Geschwindigkeit und Kontrolle. Lebe seitdem damit und mit Deinen Ansätzen mache ich gerade wieder große Fortschritte, aber damit war der Weg des Berufsmusikers vorbei :-(

hybrid pricking......

[@PeterM1-qx1tz]

One thing is to accept that as sucky as it is.. 99.99999999% of people are never going to get anywhere close to their guitar heros. Shoot, if you become half as good as Keith Richards you are doing great. Most beginners never realize that.... well I certainly didnt ; ]
