Learn To SHRED With Just 6 Patterns! (Guitar Lesson + Tabs)

[@Bernthguitar]

Practice these 6 amazing shred patterns together with me: www.patreon.com/bernth (backing tracks, video play-alongs, tabs, & more) 🎸

[@emmanueltaganas7923]

Hey Bernth can you make a video about switching thumb position of the fretting hand. Thanks 🤟🎸

[@caseyorr2447]

Yes please. I have been wondering this also. does your thumb move to follow your middle finger with every subtle shift it makes between strings,? or does it sit generally behind it as you perform a pattern and only move as the position moves. I find a light touch back there is helpful as I move up the neck or my thumb begins to drag along behind my movement as I head toward the pickups.. leaving it with the tip pointing at the nut after a few frets. Do i create pressure with my thumb alone or is there an element of using the arm, shoulder, or center, so the pressure on the fretboard is a function of my whole torso? is your thumb always a perfect 90 degrees to the neck? this could def be a short video.. I know I should be on Patreon and vote. very soon I will. But couldn't resist a comment anyways. Perhaps some other folks can help as well. This community is priceless to me. THANK YOU EVERYONE

[@jayyates8325]

Hey I’m gonna sign up to your patreon , but I’m more focused on rhythm playing do you have a lot of lessons on that aspect ? It’s mainly technique I want to work on 🤘🏻

[@JMetalGuitarist]

Bernth, do you have any suggestions for playing over more chromatic sounding riffs? I’m trying to figure out how to make my leads sound more demented like cannibal corpse. I normally try to find some way to make diminished or double harmonic minor work but is there a more practical approach to this? Should I just add some chromatic patterns as walk downs to transition in between a couple notes in the scales I’m already using?

[@JMetalGuitarist]

I know slayer adds some kind of chromaticism to locrian to get that real evil sound. But I’ve never been able to crack the code on exactly what their method is. Maybe they change up their chromatic note placement a bit every time... that would make it harder to emulate.

Noticed that he only has 5 Redbulls left in the fridge, meaning he skulled 19 before the video, thus enabling him to play this fast.

[@justinturnbull6848]

Farkn funny😂😂😂

[@benseb9927]

Lmao🤣

[@markreyes2354]

I think he deep his hands on red bull..... His fingers has wings crazy fast..

Thus enabling him to fly

[@nicksrandomreviews]

Weird, I drink 19 red bulls, and all I get is cardiac arrest. Really drew the short straw on that one.

[@thezzach]

Bernth, I’ve wanted to shred my whole life but I had undiagnosed and unmedicated SEVERE ADHD. I started taking ADHD meds and then your channel found me. I’m FINALLY seeing significant improvements in my playing just from your free videos. I’m going to become a patreon so I can continue to improve my skills with your even more helpful private videos. Thank you so much for being you, my metal brother!

YOU ROCK!!!! as a self-taught guitarist this helps me so much and what you do is great thank you

[@raghdzahr8072]

#2, #5, & #6 were by far the coolest sounding ones for me - although I am definitely guilty of abusing #2 since Paul Gilbert absolutely loves that mode, and he's a big influence for me. This definitely gets added to the practice sessions. Thanks Bernth!

[@teriakamoto]

Yeah, for sure Raghd. You can't go wrong with these. Good taste by the way. Paul Gilbert knows his way around the Fretboard a little. Keep abusing. Keep playing the ones that trouble you the most. That's how you improve. I abuse 'em all lol.Peace-

[@paulwilliams9381]

who is down-voting this? Great video.. practical building blocks for shred - speed comes with time and practice! Thank you, BERNTH.

[@jayalicea7706]

It’s around 7 am in my hometown and the first thing I do is open up your page and I get inspired by your amazing tutorials and videos!! These are pretty basic yet they hold a lot of potential of growth if practiced and!!practiced properly. I appreciate the channel and the videos, the practice rifts you’re giving us and the tabs of them for us to play along. Bernth, thank you for these videos, keep on rocking my guy!! Kindly, Jay.

[@therickster4415]

I was in the 70 percentile group that's been watching your tutorials without subscribing. I suppose it was because I'm a rock/blues player and not a metal Shredder. However, I keep coming back because your lessons are engaging and useful to me. Plus, you seem like a really good dude. I'm taking this lesson for example and am transferring the picking patterns to the mixolydian, Dorian modes from the typical pentatonic runs to make my solos more interesting. I will "never" be this blazing fast but strive to be more accurate, clean and concise in my alternate picking to fretboard hand synchronization. Lessons such as this one helps! Finally subscribed! Thanks!

[@osricwolfing4553]

Using a small thick pick like the Jazz 3, turning the pick so that it's at about a 45-degree angle to the strings, and playing 3 note per string patterns helped me pick up a lot of speed quickly.

[@jameshughes1580]

Thank you Bernth!

[@guitarguy_6772]

High-class videos. So inspirational.

[@nitrospidergaming7394]

One suggestion for people who want to practice this. Practice using a clean tone. Because, then all those subtle mistakes that distortion hides will show. If you can get it sounding really clean with no distortion, then it'll sound finominal with distortion.

[@jamirjuliamoreno2219]

Got to be honest. Bernth is so talented and humble teacher
