[@gabren6141]

Bernth's progression from 2003 to 2005 seems like what an average guitarist would progress within 5 years. That's impressive.

[@arcadeslum5882]

He likely put 5 hours of practice in 2 years time........ compared to the average person. His whole point of the video is follow your passion and block out the haters.

[@dirkmoolman]

Yup ! 😮

[@Penguinn_0.o_]

It's been around 10 years, and I'm still dumb at playing.

[@gabren6141]

@Nicholas You need to practice and believe that one day you'll get results. It may be that because I'm a younger guitarist, I'm able to get some progress and results within 1 or 2 weeks of practice. Good luck though.

[@gabren6141]

@Nicholas I should also say that leads are not "harder" than rhythm. Usually guitarists start out by playing the basic riffs and rhythms, and only later try playing solos and leads. Some people think that it's harder simply because they don't put as much time practicing and playing solos compared to riffs.

[@ivandelgado5841]

Picking up the guitar at 23 years old wish I would have picked it up a lot younger but this is very motivational, my love for music is such a drive wish me luck everyone!

[@GG.Herald]

Same with me bros! I started learning guitar at 25 and I don't have that experience; jamming with friends at their houses when I was a teenager like most kids no I don't experienced that. And btw I bought an electric guitar like 5-6 months ago, I'm still suck really but however I keep myself on the track just play/learn slowly because we'll get there eventually :) Good luck metal Bros 🤘🏻🔥

[@keyboardwarria]

It's worse when your parents don't

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

I mean, you're a 13 yr old kid with a multi-hundred dollar guitar and prob amp too. Someone must've believed in you enough. Kids go through phases, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that this guy's parents thought that's what it'd be. The percentage of kids who practice instruments at a young age then give up pre/during adulthood is a majority. Not many of them are joining touring bands at age 19.

[@mcdoucheybag]

@@TheAbandonedAccount7 You are just assuming that though. It's a probability, but not necessarily true. We don't know his story.

[@ZenGarage]

I turned 47 this year and have been playing the guitar since high school. I always wanted to be a shredder like you, but over time I've slowed down, and you know what? It's not a bad thing! Where I once dreamed of learning the Megadeth solos in Holy Wars I now dream of playing like Chris Buck. So much feeling, so much more emotion than just anger. 100% it's each to their own but massive props, congratulations (the KZbin algorithm brought me here!) and really happy that you're happy and proud of yourself, full stop!

[@ct1216]

don't worry man nobody plays and enjoys neo-classical metal anymore. I used to shred crazy when I was 20-21. Now I am 42 and I enjoy blues more. And my opinion Albert King was the greatest guitar player who ever lived.

[@KennelGuyTries]

I'm in the same boat. Turned 46 last October. I'm not a shredder. I can throw a solo out if absolutely necessary, but I prefer rhythm. I have noticed my dexterity has diminished. Malcom young to someone else's Angus if you will. I find myself using hammer-ons and pull-offs a lot more than I used to to compensate. I play within my limitations and have fun with it.

[@KennelGuyTries]

@@ct1216 I love metal. When I sit down to play it's mainly blues now. My all time favorite player is Chet Atkins. He made playing look so effortless. Like anyone could pick up a guitar and play like him. The greats always do though.

[@deftgoose]

Way to go man! I'm now 37 years old and I've started learning how to play 6 months ago. I still suck, but warms my heart seeing your progress. Your video is an inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@headbusser1337]

keep going! around 1 year and 6 months you will be able to play rhythm guitar to any metal song trust me!

[@absolutetuber]

Dude! You and me both. I want to shred so bad!!!! Started taking lessons about 5 months ago. I’m an old man as well….37 lol

[@ButtSpitter]

Here I am about to be 30 and starting out too. I expect some progress videos in six months.

[@bjornjagt3073]

I am 44 and starting now, got a lot to learn i see!😳. Bud he became good fast. Talented

[@Pupselot]

deftgoose, I'm also just starting out. Actually, I have my first lesson in a few days. I'm 52 now. I got my guitar in 1990 when I was young, but circumstances made it impossible for me to get very far at the time. I always planned to come back to it, and now, 30 years later, I'm about to do just that. When the video talked about letting other people dragging you down, and never giving up on your dreams, that really cheered me up. Maybe I'm running a fool's errand here, but if I could just learn to play well enough to find some friends that I can get together with and play a little metal music, I'd be so happy about that. I've been a music listener all my life--and as heavy metal fan since I was a teen in the 80s, but I've always been a listener. I just want to try to make a little music of my own, y'know?

[@dougspinelli799]

I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years this month and teaching since 1998. Never experienced a 2 year growth in skill like you had at 12-14 years old by any student or any player I’ve ever known. Congratulations you are the definition of Gifted!! That said, thanks for the inspirational video.

[@sadinoelj]

I've been playing the guitar for a long time, but now at 42 I want to take it seriously, I discovered your channel not long ago but I haven't followed up on the exercises. I think I have wasted a lot of my life making these decisions because I live in a country where rock and metal don't matter and I also think I suffer from depression. But seeing how Jason Becker continues to fight and this video of yours, I have now decided to take this seriously. many thanks!

[@JoseJimenez-ob2sf]

I realized the same some days ago I am currently 38 years old and I will take it seriously since now, greetings from Mexico

[@diode86]

Just do it! (lol) Im 35, playing instruments since 6. I started to get serious about it 3 years ago and getting hired now for recording, mixing/mastering and stuff and i want to slap myself for not being serious about it much much sooner while chasing other things and goals in life.

[@mingdong428]

Currently i am 29 and i am also taking things seriously now. I guess now i dont want to end up saying these when i reached your age. I have also lost so many hours without practicing,thinking i will do tomorrow and tomorrow but now i will again start the journey.

[@acousticide]

Amazing journey. I started out just like you. Had opportunities to get very successful... but unlike you, I never found the dedication and drive to realize my potential. So cool that you have it chronicled like this. I hope this motivates someone to give it their all, because everyone has greatness inside.... but only a few will realize it.

[@NorthernBanshee]

The jump from 2003 to 2005 is INSANE! What exactly did you change about your practice routine in 05 when you started to take it more seriously? That alone was impressive! Very cool video, also shows that people don't "blow up" from one day to the next, it's hard work for many years until you are finally good enough that recognition starts to pile up.

[@fancwings6134]

Just get in there no limits mind set and enjoy the journey it's a long one.

[@SealedKiller]

Just play and learn new stuff. If you keep learning harder stuff you will get better. Like said get in the mind set and just keep pushing. From what I've seen people get stuck looking for techniques to practice and practice routines. To be honest I never really cared about that I just played stuff I liked and wanted to learn. I'm also interested in theory and read about it, I'm also teaching myself to write standard notation because why not I wanna know it. So far I can tell you for me writing the notes is not hard but reading the notes is harder. I'm no professional by any means but I won't get lost on the guitar.

[@jmorrisey79]

I'm curious what he changed in his routine as well. That's a very drastic and impressive leap in skills in a very short period of time.

[@jmorrisey79]

@@fancwings6134 I'm sure he put massive amounts of time and effort but there's got to be more to it than than bro. The majority of people I've known that play guitar took many more years to reach that point than what we see in this video of Bernth's progress. I for one didn't have the benefit of having better guitar players around me to show me stuff. It definitely helps to have a mentor.. and can slow you down greatly if you have to figure everything out for yourself. A good practice regimen is key.. but you can't just do the same things forever.. especially without getting bored. Sure, we have the internet and KZbin today but that wasn't the case when I was in my teens or even my early 20s.. and when you get older you don't have nearly as much free time as you did when you were younger. I think the person asking this question is trying to outline a plan or improve upon an existing one after seeing Bernth's impressive leap forward in such a short period. Responding by saying to dive in with no limits isn't really saying much. It's safe to say we all know that practice is first and foremost.. and lots of it.

[@harryrainbird]

Thanks for remaining a great human being!

[@DrDanielFox]

This is terrific. I get down on myself about my playing sometimes. This really helped. Thanks B

[@chrisbauman2562]

Now this is playing with feel in a more heavier metal sound. When people say metal has no feel they're right. Majority of KZbinrs in the metal world lack what this guy has. He's sporadic and spontaneous. 90% of the time you don't even know what he's doing but it's not over done. It's perfect for the song. Exactly what a musician should be

[@nicksites]

Love this video! I'm 35 and established in my career, but I've never really lost the dream of playing in front of a lot of people. I'm still pushing myself to be a better guitar player and overall musician every day.

[@dropdead8886]

I'm so incredibly thankful I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago, before then sweep picking, theory, trem picking and timing were a struggle for me but you have found a way to make everything click for me, thank you, Bernth!

[@vesanius1]

The beginning of this video shows that everyone has to start somewhere and even the best players of their instruments have sounded terrible at some point. It's a progress that you go through with dedication and hard work and as the video progress you can see how much it eventually pays off. This kind of videos should be shown to all new players so they can see the progress and then imagine it in their head for themselves. It can be very inspirational.

[@northstarz1125]

Man ur face when ur playing ur borrowed guitar really hit me hard. The happiness and joy that it brought you is contagious brother. I still have those moments when I finally get a super hard riff down or get in the zone when just messing around. Tbh though, I had not played seriously for many years and one day I saw one of your guitar exercise videos and it re-ignited that passion for me. I use ur exercises daily and try to keep up with all u put out on KZbin. Thank you!

Hey Bernth, I was a decent guitarist in my teens and early 20s but strayed away from music. During the pandemic I rediscovered my love for guitar and threw myself into it. recently I have been struggling to find the time to practice due to work and it's been making me question my dreams of truly mastering the instrument having just turned 33 a few weeks ago, but this video really resonated with me and I just wanna say thank you for that.

Ive been playing since i was 14 im 48 now. I lost the passion for actually growing, and learning, but watching your vids has kinda lit a fire back to the shredder in me.

First day I ever played was on my birthday and the old lady neighbor came over and asked if can stop playing all together. My dad said no, and she and her husband ended up moving. As I got older I told people no, and I play regardless what people think as long as I don’t break any noise violations. I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t think to much about what people think just keep playing and do you cause a lot of people who don’t play an instrument think music is made in a small dark quiet closet.

Congratulations on your success. It seems as though the majority of professional guitarists focus on sharing their wins but never their failures along the journey that got them to where they are today. I’m new to this community but have already seen several videos where you proudly share the mistakes you made…even while already regarded as a great musician who plays sold out stadiums. It’s hard to describe just how inspiring that is and all I can say is thank you for putting yourself out there and showing us that despite being seen as a god on the guitar, you’re human just like the rest of us. Your dedication to showing everyone that the formula for success is truly as simple as a borderline obsessive commitment to your craft and hard work is a breath of fresh air and welcomed distraction to the crazy world we all share.

I’m very excited for the challenge that awaits me as I’m now wanting to taking my passion for guitar seriously as music plays a huge significance in my life. I’m a Manson and Smashing Pumpkins fan and they have inspired me to finally make this a reality as life is short and I don’t want to waste anymore time. I do also admire metal and my music taste is in fact very versatile. Thanks for boosting the inspiration and sharing your journey.

It's great to see the journey and constant growing, so often we tend to judge the musicians we see onstage and we don't really appreciate the huge amounts od practice and dedication behind a live show

[@No_one1776]

Nice progress. You really took it to heart and nailed it. I really liked the slap technique you showed. Good job you!!!

[@xkmmx2132]

This video really badass. The one thing left out though is explaining how hard you had to work to get from point A to Point B. People have been trying for decades to get around having to practice your ass off and never give up when it’s hard. This is a great illustration of how progress in guitar actually works. Success is very non linear and making these leaps in ability do not come easy.

[@Celestialdissonance]

This literally made me tear up. Amazing progression.

[@hobilomm]

Omg, it is such an inspirational video. Take this, 18 years of practice and still modest! His success, he deserves it, really. Seriously, he is an awesome guitar player.

[@carlhungus2521]

Dude that video is so well done and inspiring that I just realized that I had watched the entire thing with no sound because I was so glued to the story that I didn't click the video

[@mumuisme]

Congrats for all of your accomplishments, you deserved it.

[@EchelonIV]

Excellent progress between 13 and 14 years of age! I also loved the end of the video with "never let anyone drag you down, I believe in you" and then the next video in line is "this will make you QUIT guitar". :D

[@peterspeets9950]

Hello Bernth, I am stunned by your guitar play. Now I am 68 and two years ago I played guitar for the first time. I love it. I regret not playing it for such a long time. Now my fingers are stiff and everything is not so quickly anymore. But the most important thing is that I love it Follow you everyday knowing that I won't be able to play so good as you. Thank you for your efforts and keep on playing.

[@vitob5898]

To be this talented you need to be super intelligent. Your brilliance shines through......Congratulations on your accomplishments.

[@mikearroyo1]

Congratulations, you deserve all the success in the world. You “followed your Bliss” (Joseph Campbell) and are appropriately rewarded.

[@mohamadtarek2090]

Don't ever let people drag you down . Thanks and i subbed you

[@pauliedingdalladingdong5578]

Ive just turned 66, never held a guitar and but just started to learn to play. Never too old I reckon. Love your stuff, fabulous.

[@Cau_1]

You had a looong way to get where you at, the impressive thing here is that you never gived up

[@prelude5116]

I’ve been a keyboard player for years now. It’s my big hobby/passion. Music in general drives me. But I always wanted to learn guitar. I just picked up guitar some time ago. I absolutely suck at it and sometimes I feel like quitting all together. This video really helped me show that I’m just starting out and skill has to be earned through time and not right away.

[@charliebirkner8729]

This is the most beautiful thing I have read all week. Thank you for staying humble. It is a rare thing these days, sadly 😢

[@tommyseibel7902]

Super Bernth!Ich habe so viele Leute ausgebildet, komme aus einer Zeit wo tabs nicht wirklich da waren, kein online dings alles von lps gehört und klassischer Unterricht gehabt. Geh deinen Weg

[@SerraRider]

Amazing bro! I fell so happy for your story. You are amazing!

[@chadwickpainter8212]

That was pretty cool man. You are absolutely right. Never give up.

[@maximfadeev2012]

Now i see myself sitting on a blue sofa....love guitar, blues and dirty rock with a juicy guitar sound!!! Thanx!!! I see the progress and i wish more and more to play

[@MrDingle1987]

Hardwork and determination pays off and this is proof of it. Bug thumbs up.

[@juanignaciolopez8630]

Crongats buddy! I started to play guitar at 15 I was really obsessed to become into a world class guitarist but I gave up when I was 25/ 26 yo, now I'm 35 yo and sometimes I think what it would have happened if I would've been more persistent. This video made me realize that no matters what happen always try to seek your dreams.
