Next time try toenail clippers to remove frets! I defretted a bass like that back when I was 17. Doesn't booger up the fretboard.

@BERNTH what tuning did you use for elasticity? For your acoustic and what type of guitar were you using

[@ricardolamuela]

Es buenísimo 😃👍👌

[@MaximGeorgievskiy]

As a violinist, I looked for a fretless guitar long time. It’s pretty easy to fine fretless bass, but somehow it’s solo guitar are very rare to be fretless. I found Lava Fretless guitar one, but it’s kind of expensive one. So your way to make fretless from a regular guitar is so simple 😅 It’s amazing

[@grigoriraspoutine9298]

if you want a fretless guitar, remove CAREFULLY the frets of your guitar, then fill the holes with same size wood pieces. Be sure that the whole fretboard is 100 % flat.

[@AnnaandStanleyFNF]

fretes

[@somepunkinthecomments471]

Warmoth makes fretless necks.

[@bradsmithstudios8881]

Another option: Mighty Mite has fretless necks that are decent quality and very affordable. Should be a fairly easy procedure to swap the neck out.

[@calvinsomers1197]

Whether you’re in soft, vulnerable mode or cranking it up to 10/10 intensity, your melodic brilliance is always on full display. That’s what I think stands out the most about you. Take care of yourself and as long as all is well, I hope you never stop grinding.

[@johnbohland]

Great song, great lyrics, awesome guitar playing and tone from the fretless wonder. Loved it.❤

Splendid tone! Both vocals and guitar!

I have no idea who you are or why I got this video recommended, especially so short after upload, but god damn this song is so fucking cool, I'm gonna go to Spotify right after I finish watching. GOOD RECOMMENDATION KZbin!!!

[@theunwelcome]

every once in a while, the algorithm actually gets it right! who knew?

[@blotsmusic]

getting a perfect intonation without frets speaks volumes. very impressive

[@nervengewitter]

My favorite song of yours yet. This style would make a great album.

[@notSuhasFR]

The tone is just amazing 🔥

[@zuckleyplays4120]

Okay wow dude I’m adding The Siren to my playlist and you’re right it definitely is otherworldly sounds!

[@eliasmarquez6154]

Some powerful vocals and incredible playing! Really love this one, keep up the great work! 😁

[@mubdihazarika3716]

This is the best fretless guitar solo I've ever heard. It was bonkers!!!!

[@Kalbsgrinder]

Da bekomm ich grad auch Bock drauf, das mal auszuprobieren. 😅 Echt gut gemacht! 🤘🏼

[@rajansh5302]

Your every video with crazy sounds awesome 💯

[@picksalot1]

I really like that your music and creativity is served by your brilliant technique, and not the other way around. Good music stands the test of time, whereas technique is a flash in the pan.

[@lethompson]

Dude you are absolutely insane! Coming up with new, original, creative ideas for songs every week for an entire year!? Bravo good sir.

[@AscendedFlow]

I bet we see guitars being made with no frets now. I'm going to forever call them Bernth Guitars. I personally absolutely loved the otherworldly sounds. Amazing

[@AJ_AJ.]

You are *always* killing it. Loved the guitar and the vocals. 🤘🏼

[@aframethompam7798]

I watched the solo over and over. And it just became better every time. Well done my dude 😁

Those slides around 2 minutes blew my mind. That was sick.

[@thelastactionandrew9561]

The sound of bernth exploding my mind again. So good.

[@danielolson2529]

Can’t believe you did that to a guitar

[@YskarAlbumLuna]

I think you can be one of the best musicians in the world, you have focus, ambition and curiosity. That's all it takes, keep pushing foward man. Don't limit yourself by fear of rejection, keep trying out new things until the world burns away. Bring that otherwordly sound that comes from the depths of the abyss and the old ones through marvellous display of balance between perfect poesy and technique.

[@timrussellguitar1516]

Great song Bernth. The solo is great 👍

[@zuckleyplays4120]

I clicked the second I saw this notification I have the hear this guitar immediately!

[@Bernthguitar]

Thanks for tuning in so early 🤘

[@LKonstantina915]

honestly a fretless guitar that has lines instead of frets would be such a good idea. It'd be more beginner friendly I guess. You'd know where to put your fingers to get the exact standard notes. SICK SONGS LATELY!

[@johnro6659]

I actually bought a fretless guitar a few months ago. I have been practicing like hell on it and came to the conclusion it's definitely not for me. I plan on installing frets on it soon. You killed it I wish I could! When I try to bend a note the string just slides under my fingers, every note/chord I play never seems to be really in tune, I guess getting your fingers in the perfect spot take more practice than I put into it. Sliding up and down on the neck is like butter though, reminds me when I played a fretless bass back in the day. I still have my fretless bass but rarely use it these days.

[@adritomahanty9666]

His experiments won't go wrong! 🔥

one of your best works so far...loved it

[@hctrbz]

I have an old guitar with several dead frets which make it horrible to play. This could be an interesting way to make it useful again, removing the frets. Gonna give it a try.

[@guypolson]

Ron Thal aka Bumble foot and Guthrie Govan also do some fretless guitar work. Well done very cool.

Great to seeing you sing as well sir Bernth ;D

Such a great song immediately added it to my playlist for sure a good workout song!

[@spookyvondoom4624]

So I actually make fretless guitars, but we tune them to open tunings and play with a slide. Something to consider is that, in order to get the same note, you want to put your finger (or slide) directly where the fret would be in order to get the same note. If you place your finger in the space between the fret marks, the part of the string that vibrates is a touch longer and will thus produce a slightly lower note. Just from watching the video, it looks like muscle memory kicked in and your finger placement was in between frets. That might have something to do with your intonation troubles.

[@adamgarza5808]

AAAAHHHHHHH It’s so good but at what cost 😢 But seriously so inventive it sounds almost like a completely different instrument 👍

[@xjesusxchristx]

I have a guitar where the upper frets badly need a fretjob - I just ripped out every fret above the 13th, instead. Fretted licks, and riffs for an octave per string, and fretless for high parts in solos, or for flourishes.

[@woww4444]

Cool as always! Has a Tool-esque/Devin Townsend vibe. Interesting solo too! Makes me want to try a fretless at some point. 🤘🤘🤘

Wow! Awesome! 🤟🤟🤟 It's playable as It Is once you remove the frets or you have to do some treatments at the fingerboard??? I like the sound of fretless instruments!
