Congratulations to your new group! 🎉 Is there a theory on how to create music on your second channel (for the “nerds”)?

[@DamonKidman]

Hey man, I've been watching you for a while. I started off playing the guitar and doing all your tutorials and everything and watched how you've grown. I now play the six-string bass and I still watch all of your stuff. I think you're doing great man. You're just doing your own thing. I'm looking forward to listening to the stuff that you put out. You're an amazing artist all the way around. Don't let anybody tell you different

[@MetalPilgrim]

Super excited to hear it ;)

[@Grim_666-]

Honestly, whether a musician is online or touring doesn’t matter to me. I only care about if their music is good. A musician is a musician whether or not they tour or play music at home

[@DrMichaelSax]

I totally agree with that. To add another thought: although I‘m all into guitar-/metal-music, for me music has so much different characteristics, styles and methods to express and transport emotions, that it forms an own language. How to use that language to express yourself only belongs to the artist. So in the first place there is no right or wrong. It only matters that you stay true to yourself. And that definately is what Bernth does. ❤

[@blake4460]

this.

[@kingbrian3987]

Completely agree 🤘

[@travisspaulding2222]

I agree with that. I just find most KZbinrs tiresome because their talent is there. You can clearly hear it in their videos, but they don't do anything with it. Bernth was at least doing something with it. I don't need to hear Master of Puppets on the clean channel, or Morbid Angel on a ukulele, or 100 Metal Zones plugged in at the same time. Then you get the endless gear reviews where it seems they are all reciting the same script ("Sell your Kemper for a Tonex" for example). I respect the KZbinrs that make music and release it for us to hear. However, I have no respect for the goofy, gimmicky channels that don't really offer anything of substance. No one has ever gone on a road trip cranking "Guitarists of the 70s/80s Vs. Today." People crank music they love, and I think this is a big reason why there is a big hole in metal music. Because the young talent has chosen to be a glorified guitar salesman, rather than trying to create great works of art. We don't need another person to review the newest gear. We need more people to make art. I'll step off my soapbox now. Rain down on me with your hatred, lol.

[@auberginedreams00]

@@travisspaulding2222there are still people out there like me that just love to make music and not “content” but the problem is that and many others in my position still need a day job (or rich parents/spouse etc) because I’m not making nearly enough money from just music. So I agree with you but unfortunately it’s the reality for a lot of full-time musicians if they want to make a real career out of it

Just remember, it's all about the music and the love of music. Fake musician label is a joke! Feel the moment and enjoy be it playing or listening.

[@bflippsytrance]

There's nothing really like making music together and when it clicks that's a very nice feeling, but when it doesn't work out it can leave a mark. It shouldn't be a reason not to try it again tho. Actually performing on stage having that audience is unparalleled in forms of expression and doing that with your own band playing your own music is the best feeling.

[@rodneybarnett7967]

Bernth, I have played off and on for a few decades, and I have dropped it many times. The reality is it seriously does not matter what you can do. The best players define their own style, shit, look at Randy Rhodes, George Lynch, hell, just any of the notable guitarists in your eye. Anyone, even I can noodle around, but it is the style you accentuate as your own that really grabs attention and defines you and it never belongs to someone else. Who gives a shit what the "other" musicians say. Blow it out their ass, be you find you. I really enjoyed you with Charles playing what you did. Looking forward to hearing your band and I wish the best of luck.

[@davidtunstall6454]

I will be super stoked to hear your new band music. But since I found your channel I have been super stoked with all of your guitar contributions! Your tutorials on guitar playing techniques are awesome for the guitar community! Cheers!!!

[@robohippy]

I remember Jeff Beck commenting once that he got bored very easily, which is why I liked him because he was always experimenting. You do this too. As long as you are having fun, nothing else really matters..... Opinions are like rear ends, every one has one. My dad commented, yes, and some of them stink......

[@abunai.j]

It's funny, because I'm old enough to remember when people WISHED there were alternative ways to get their music heard, and the only real way was grinding endlessly on local circuits and hoping a rep would come see a showcase and then sign you on. This freedom of ingress is what people in the 80s and 90s wished for. Now that it's here, we're all just taking shots at eachother. What a time to be alive...

[@alienspacebones]

You honestly seem like one of most straightforward people in this space. The divide is really rather silly. From your vids you seem to appreciate both your online audience, and the opportunities on stage you've earned through years of dedication to your craft. Can't wait to hear your new music!

[@stringbean3442]

Honestly I think you are one of the hardest working musicians out there, you've grown alot in the last few years, I've really enjoyed all of content and really like your drove passion and humble personality... Congrays on forming your new band and can't wait for the release on Thursday, also I would say good luck but I really don't think you need it.

[@jimmyjams5038]

Imagine being an absolute tool who cares how someone chooses to share their music. As long as youre creating music that people appreciate just be happy their are people that are creating something for you to enjoy.

[@loghanditheimperialdiehard8876]

I’ve been learning guitar (and drums) for the last 6 months and something I struggle with mentally is how late I started. I had a decent home life as a kid but I was never encouraged to explore my own interests so I didn’t pick up guitar until 22. Now at 22, I’m realizing that being a career musician is always what I’ve wanted, but being behind my peers who started young I feel like I’m at a disadvantage to achieve the level of greatness required to be a successful musician. I’ve been on a certain track for years because it’s what my parents wanted and now I have to make this big change in order to be happy and I need a lot more experience in order to make it work. He started touring at 18 and I’m not even ready to think about touring! Some people start younger, are excellent players, but still take them years to be financially successful. I just have no idea how I’m gonna make it work.

[@draxbak]

The only person you can't lie to is yourself. You were always going to return to the thing that made you pick up the instrument in the first place. You already have a vast library of experience to call on and reference now so enjoy your next step with infinitely more confidence than you had when you were younger. It will also help with your tutorials and any other media which you may use... best of luck in your newer identity, from a Liverpool born and bred axe man.

[@anubis243-x5h]

Music is what I love. You give me music, I don’t care what else you do. Seriously, who is actually getting bent out of shape other than people that think they deserve the other person’s success for some reason?

[@RC-ve8dl]

As a guitarist myself, I was taught that we should support each other and treat each other like family. I lost my teacher due to illness and I miss jamming with him everyday. It makes me sad the jealousy and arrogance that many fellow artists show to each other. Whether a person is online or touring, I respect the hard work, dedication, and skill all of you possess and you've inspired me to be better. I would never try to downplay anyone or tell them how they should play. To me you're all great. Do as you please man, and I look forward to what you do next.

[@Bloozguy]

Bernth is the hardest working guitar player on the planet. I have more respect for him than almost guitar player anyone can name. He got where is he is today through sheer determination, effort and stick to it iveness... There may be people with more naturalraw talent, but they didn't work for what they got the way Bernth has done. Massive respect. 🎸

As a solo artist myself, I find great inspiration from your drive and skill mate. You are an awesome influence. I barely record or upload anything now, but I haven't given up my dreams of living off music one day. On my channel I'm experimental. I do anything from hair metal music - to symphonic metal; & classical instrumentals - to electronic music. I'm a self taught artist too & tons of your tutorials have helped me improve my technique & tone on guitar over the years. I'm ever so grateful for that. Keep rockin' on dude

[@andrewvela9839]

Its like calling every person that plays at home not a musician because they've never toured. I play and have never toured but still consider myself a guitarist.

So then my 23 years of playing guitar doesn’t count since I’m a “bedroom guitarists” I never aspired to be in a band I just wanted to learn to play guitar and play things I enjoying listening to and I’ve written my own stuff as well over the years but to say that I don’t count as a musician cause I’ve done nothing is just stupid

[@EyesOfEgypt]

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

[@SaySomethingWorthHearing]

"Why don't you do exactly what you want to do and what fulfills you?" That is the question they should be asking. Anyone online saying you should do this or you should do that probably doesn't have much going on in their own life.

[@musicmnw1982]

I plucked my first string in 1987. I had eight years of professional instruction and I've been on stage many times but I'm getting older. I don't play in public anymore and I couldn't be happier. The music industry is stupid. All I ever wanted to do was to entertain people. It was never about money. Wearing stupid clothes, drinking and drugs, flying objects, rain, stolen or damaged gear, bimbos with STDs, getting lost or stranded, sleazebag promoters.... all of that is for the birds. Now I entertain my wife and kids. I'm just as much a "musician" as any other.

This was informative but at no point do I feel misled about your career or the direction of your musical journey. There have always been divas in your industry, that’s not bound to change. I found this channel quite by accident some time ago. I was pleased by your playing style, your ability to jump from rock into new age acoustic guitars but most importantly, your fearless approach to experimentation. I could not care less if you were creating a band, or just making solo music in a bathroom. My only concern is that you keep creating, because I am a consumer and I want more! I will continue to purchase your songs from iTunes so I can revel in your work wherever my travels take me. So thank you, for being a part of my life’s soundtrack.

A good example of this is Guthrie Govan, who is a studio musician, goes on tour with other people and also has his band, The Aristocrats. He also works in JTC Jam Tracks, and any of them would be a great job in themselves. I have seen him in a small concert hall in Madrid two or three times with The Aristocrats and it is amazing what a good musician and how humble he is. Sorry for putting Guthrie Govan here, I already know it's not about him.

[@thewillformerlyknownasartist]

I’d rather be a touring musician PERSONALLY because I am not comfortable enough putting my face out on the internet nor do I feel like I possess the personality to do so, however it’s an extreme boomer take to think real musicians only play on the stage. I’ve seen countless bands live and there are soooooo many that do not care about putting on a good live show or even care about practicing enough to sound good. BUT I loved hitting the road, seeing a bunch of places I would have never seen had I not been fortunate enough to play, and giving the people who want to leave their house and have something fun to do. Online musicians entertain people in the comfort of their homes/offices/bathrooms/wherever and USUALLY are way better musicians than road dogs are, but there’s an insane amount of competition for attention and it seems like it can be even more fleeting. I think there is something to be said about going somewhere, WATCHING someone fucking crush it and physically being present in the moment with your friends and creating memories. I’m probably not gonna remember the time my friends and I sat down, got stoned, and watched someone play a metallica solo backwards. tl;dr both musicians are important and music is subjective blah blah blah

[@The_artist_called_The_Engineer]

Personally I couldn’t care whether you’re online or in a band. I like the channel, I like the mad guitar experiments and I like the songs on Spotify. I’d also say that while I’m nowhere near your league with modern gear I can make music ( mostly) in my kitchen on a whole different level than I can with a band.
