what i did 40 yrs ago was pulling in the 3th finger to to 4 th finger exersises ... it frees the movement of the 4th from the 3th ... its difficult first but gives far more control ... as well it allows u to roll ur complete hand with the 2nd finger as pivetpoint so you dont bring ur finger to the fret but you roll ur entire hand ...its very fast and makes ur hammer-ons louder as just hammering the 4th finger .. of course this is not for 4th finger hammering but when u play a long sequence and when ur 4th finger is pressing the string , u reposition ur 1 finger for the next roll on an other string ....u as well can use it playing everything , like malmsteen licks .... just try it , stretch ur fingers, then bend the 3 the finger , u ll see ur 4 th finger is moving as well . now try to strech ur 4th finger contra the bending of ur 3th finger ...it ll work miracles and the rolling ur hand is possible ....as well on the low E string becouse u have to position ur hand so it rolls perfactly .

I’ve watched you for years and this video spoke to me. I joined your patron to explore your techniques. I’ve always played mostly with my fingers and now I’m learning to use a guitar pick . I never learned any of these as I’ve played by ear. I’m very excited learn more from you. Thank you Sir.😊

[@TheStrykerProject]

Great timing for these! I am looking to 'freshen' my daily exercises, and these are perfect!

[@kevinainscough6839]

Bernth! Your straight up just awesome man. Thank you for helping me with different techniques. The more I keep my fingers busy, the better I am.

[@spamfanger5257]

Idle hands do the devils work is what they used to say. 😂

[@TS-nb9ko]

Thanks for all of your help.your lessons definitely improved my fingerings on the neck

[@latemnf]

One thing that really has helped me is leaving my index and middle finger as out of the way as possible and just playing the pentatonic boxes up and down with only the ring and pinky.

[@fiverx2159]

Why handicap yourself by not using 50% of your fingers?

[@latemnf]

Do you use 100% of your fingers playing 2 nps pentatonic runs? The idea is building strength and independence in the weaker 50% of your hand.

[@kolar999]

I do that too, I just come up with some silly drills but when I'm done with them, both fingers feel warmed up and ready for all further action!

[@mikesmith1290]

My only practice routines come from Bernth. I’m self taught and never had a lesson, but after playing for 30 years now, I’m no where near as good as I should be. My playing has drastically improved in just two weeks after practicing the legato and alt. Picking. Next up, finally learning how to sweep!

[@LiveToRiff]

This is awesome! Thank you for you the tips!

[@switch1e]

I’ll definitely try that triads exercise. Seems like it can really get my fingers in shape

[@BobbyLaneProductions]

excellent new exercises!

[@jojo-ko5846]

Guitar go brrrrrrrr

[@BetterCallJamie]

Good lesson there, thank you

[@kellecetraro4807]

I was fortunate / blessed to have a teacher whilst growing up that focused me on the same thing as your suggesting in this video. It almost feels like deja vu, his name is Terence Hansen. Consequently, I don't have any strength or independence issues between pinky and ring, however, I still have a bucket of other unrelated issues with technique that need work 😂 Love the content 🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@Weirdwest805]

this was actually really great, thanks!

[@marctestarossa]

I use something like the Thunderstruck intro played on different strings for hand synchronization. It's extremely challenging, especially on the acoustic guitar, because you also hear the other side of the string ringing (the part behind your fretting hand that you don't actually pluck) if you're not perfectly synced and it sounds just messy.

[@fallingsky9242]

Good stuff 👍

[@optioningthabears861]

I totally do the string skipping one when i am warming up my sweeps but not quite playing fast enough to default to sweeping and still alternative picking

[@anushjohn]

wow, great lesson!

[@zz-.-]

Great video. Who got the shred 2 pedal what do you think?

[@sckalzmusic]

Great, loved the Excercise 2, its like Schuldiner style.

[@ziplocktheimpostor1402]

It is the philosopher......🤘😈🤘 Yea it sounds like exactly that i agree

[@Hillbillykaren]

Well trained pinky !!! 🤠

[@savagevidz149]

Phuk yeah. Killer video. Thank you BernthAcad. 🤘💀

[@gerdez]

Your fretting hand fingers can wrap around the neck twice. God I wish I had something similar 😂. Thank you for the exercises!

[@gergemall]

Wasted fifty plus years ❤. Thank you . The video is impressive. I’ve played pro and now I’m learning the proper techniques to play more lead guitar. I really seems to grasp your style and position. You’re an amazing instructor.❤😂

[@leonsunu1209]

The stretch between my pinky and ring finger is great, i can reach from the 7th to the 10th fret from ring to pinky, but the strech between index and middle finger sucks...

[@Hsiss]

Easy exercises are for warmup, not for progress.

[@kostantismp3704]

exactly bro the small finger(nightmare:PP) doesn't want to cooperate like the others, thank you for ur advices!!!!!!

[@devinmcmanus]

Best practice tip I've been given is "make music when practicing"

[@deanosphenos7960]

It's great that you made this video! Coincidentally, these are the workouts I am desperately needing to advance; besides ACCUALLY SITTING THROUGH & LEARNING A WHOLE SONG FROM SOMEONE ELSE. FU@#$ING A.D.D.... BUT I CAN SWEEP.... LOL. KINDA. BTW, YOU SHRED CHEESE BRO. MATZARELLA!

[@ridosakuro]

Its easier if I had longer finger, great gitar without noise, and great setup of the neck & strings.. oh man I wish I had them😢

[@HalJikaKick]

Look up Odairs drill. Life changing.

[@NedJeffery]

1:34 At the end of the first bar, I prefer playing the Bdim than the Cmaj

[@Caszzzz]

Great, Im currently on the theory, later i´ll start the picking masterclass

[@Roadkiller85]

Funny, I have a torn tenton of the Externsor digiti minimi, cannot extend my pinky, which makes playing a bit hard with the pinky. On the bright side, it does not extend and does not do funny things... :D

[@RodrigoOliveira0]

Arpeggios: 1:34 A

[@cenozoaband]

You guys practice??

[@EugeneTonic]

Crazy

[@gordonklassen3182]

I have a fly-away pinky finger. (hangs head in shame)

[@carloswhomusic]

The "unmusical" chromatic exercise we all hate .......became the opening for one of my best recorded solos. "Prince is Only Sleeping" solo opening ....... the EXERCISE ! see what you think, thanks for your great content.

[@Blanche_255]

Guys if you have any sites or videos that actually explain triads, scales and arpeggios simply enough for a beginner to understand PLEASE drop them I literally dont understand any videos I've been trying to watch on these let alone incorporate them into my exercise routine

[@Cestariarts]

1:34 Tell me you wish you have composed Barstool Warrior without telling you wished have composed Barstool Warrior

[@matthewbrenn8307]

the real take a away from this video was in the beginning....change your exercises once in a while. Hey brerntht or waf. give us your version of michael jacksons black or white. u got the look and everthing . ps. im proud of my flying pinky! i tryid to train that little biaz,but it just keep flying. FREE PINKYS!!

[@user-ch9fo6bj1m]

bro, how many mm do you pick?

[@BigMuff75]

The first two main riffs of Erotomania by Dream Theater is a good drill, imho.

[@stanhalen9807]

Guilty as charged

[@sandwiches9028]

Thank you @BernthGuitarAcademy! Oh, and is that a wedding ring? I noticed you didn’t have that in a video a month ago! Congratulations if you tied the knot!

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

3:00 Very Satriani!

[@Dad_K]

Juice

[@ananthkashyap4854]

Wasted 40 years with wrong technique😢😢😢😢

[@wethepeople6940]

Not wrong, just less optimized than recent techniques! Don't feel bad!

[@figwasp001]

Yeah man, if you’ve been playing that amount of time, you’re probably about my age- don’t feel bad, we just didn’t have all these resources back then. And anyway, if I were a betting man, I’d wager you got a few tricks up your sleeve!

[@GhostlyOne1]

I'm in the same boat as you.

[@GeorgeMilkasIgore]

There is no waste in music. Be kind to yourself as Tomo says !

[@Sadowsky46]

Just a finger exercise. Some people go to the gymn to waste time every day to exercise 😂

[@johnp.johnson1541]

Obvious. In fact, this where guitarists should begin, by playing intervals of thirds.

[@GreyRock100]

Shout out to Pinky

[@dakotawinston7677]

First like/first comment! BAM!

[@HarlanHarvey76]

The new hair is cool😎 but honestly, the Dreads were Metal! 🪨 🎵
