Hi Bernth, does the "Personal Coaching" membership also include access to the previous tiers (Gold/Full member)?

[@Tbone12345]

Brenth you do this exercises on ultimate guitar format by any chance?

[@Tbone12345]

Before I sign up I wanna know if it’s just by videos or play along with either guitar or guitar and drums

[@trusarmor4957]

what model of guitar is that plz?

[@EPIXANIMATIONS]

Any tips at not having adhd so I can actually finish songs instead of just learning the intro?

[@mattie75]

I'm in this post and I don't like it 😂

[@slappyburrito9481]

coffee, metric shit tons of coffee and one section at a time. scatter the sections throughout the days, doesnt have to be in order. i dunno, that helped me🙃

[@user-lw7dq1yv41]

try finding a therapist instead

[@di0__0ib]

if you find out how, please let me know 😣 edit: I'm only half joking. having adhd sucks :/

[@antony2206]

I think it's fine to only passage and whatnot, guitar should be fun and not tedious, or maybe you should try writing something yourself.

[@mrirrelevant7875]

The minute I figure out how to solo you all will pay. Until then, watch me only play the parts leading up to the solo and after the solo

[@Sonicstillpoint83]

As a largely self-taught guitar player, I remember learning this principle from that Paul Gilbert clip from the VHS tape when I heard it on a ripped audio file I downloaded on Napster. So cool to see how much access kids now have to literally any technique they could possibly want. Vielen Dank fürs mitteilen.

[@Acousticeg]

Just what I needed, more reasons why I suck. lol Thanks for sharing. Your videos are very helpful.🎸

[@jefflethuman9794]

Awesome. Can you talk about pick angles and how to use the sounds. Like scraping, plucking, slide picking, etc.

[@HumanStealth]

Not only do I accept the challenge but I'm looking forward to diving into it. I need a lot more discipline in my guitar playing.

[@rustythoughts]

I like practicing crescendo and diminuendo over a bar, and repeating patterns at soft loud and medium volume, to stay conscious of keeping dynamics separate from speed.

[@wagonet]

This is great. Thank you for this lesson. I havent seen this suggestrd approach before

[@lancesisler2114]

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to learn.

[@maceoryan-hess9235]

I literally just got assigned a rhythm guitar part where i have to play tons of the same note over and over while the other guitarist is soloing This man posts this video the second i needed a way to spice up the rhythm - THANK YOU

[@aniruddhamandal-k79]

Sir you are my the most fav teacher in whole youtube.

[@admatlydian]

This is a really good video. TAB' are great but with proper notation above, you can see the accents ect.. This is very helpful for some musicians that are not familiar with a song.

[@GZT774]

You have a good teacher

[@gregorygetable]

Thanks for the demo. Nice

[@goofyy_]

i needed this❤

[@sqeekms6186]

I'm a new subscriber you've been playing off and on for about 30 years. And this whole time I thought I wasn't holding my mouth right LOL

[@daveataway1952]

Exercise 3 lowkey sounds like it could be in a Dream Theater Song

[@matajfiction]

I think that a popular mistake (which I make) is overarticulating quarter notes. specially on 1, so you don't miss counting... a cheap trick you'd think helps you play in tempo but actually messes up your riffs...

[@alpuhagame]

One important thing we need to mention is how these dynamics are different when you plug into a real tube amp/pre-amp or just into a audio interface / guitar processor / VST. Lately I started to question if the digital processing and tube amp simulators actually able to give you this dynamic response over hitting strings with softer and harder attack. I never owned an actual amp but from all the demos I've seen on KZbin, it feels like if I switch to a real tube it should improve dynamics and control. I can definitely hear when I'm hitting strings hard vs soft on an unplugged guitar, but once it is processed by VST I feel like dynamic range is being lost. I'm not using any compressors or extra pedals, just direct input from a guitar into Audio interface and then to a plugin like Bias FX / Neural DSP and others, where I set gain low enough to hear the "tube breakup emulation". If I hit soft, then the sound is more clean but hitting hard makes it more compressed and overdriven. However, I feel like real tube has even deeper dynamics than what's possible in digital. Can anyone validate this? I'm currently looking into buying a tube pedal like AMT SS-11B so I could test it myself.

[@FG-vp6id]

Its not about the dynamics coming through your amp or interface but its about your picking hand. Dont confuse tone with techique

[@alpuhagame]

​@@FG-vp6id but have you read the actual comment? The dynamics I'm talking about is overdrive when you smash strings a bit harder, so it gives more signal -> the tube compresses and enriches the tone that you can hear. However, I'm arguing that digital processing might not feel the same as the real tube, because it's only emulating the signal chain. What I'm saying is that if you play with poor dynamics (i.e. you're hitting always too hard or too soft) then the tone is going to sound flat and overcompressed on any gear, but if your technique is good, then I'm arguing that real tube would emphasize playing with proper dynamics, while VST/processors doesn't have the same dynamic response. So for example, when I was listening to the exercises in this video I noticed how those articulated notes sound so much different, and first I tried this with only my unplugged guitar and I could make it sound similar. However when I plugged this into Reaper and started Neural DSP I noticed that it sounded more compressed and not as articulated, as on video. So I'm wondering, if this is how it's supposed to be, or I'm doing something wrong, or it's just a gear issue? Does it make sense?

[@KieranZaneRoberts]

"I never owned an actual amp" well there's the answer to why you're confused lol yes tube amps let the dynamics through in an extremely obvious way even with heavy distortion. I've never used a tube pedal before so I can't vouch for that, but through an actual tube amp it's so obvious. There are amp sims out there which don't entirely kill the dynamic response of your playing but they are rare and still don't do it perfectly. Neural DSP's Tone King and Mateus Asato amp sims are likely the best you're gonna find right now for that kind of thing, especially if you still want tones that are usable in a professional mix despite the dynamics being emphasized, but like you mentioned already they don't capture it fully. Despite all this, I wouldn't get obsessed with owning a tube amp because at the end of the day even the best guitar players have records where the final tone is run through an amp sim, and as a tube amp owner myself I still end up using amp sims much more often.

[@andaniletlalo2877]

Yes, we are all legends in the making 👄👏

[@MBBGun14]

Great lesson!

[@cjjams7930]

Another great workout is just to pick a wild riff like hourglass by lamb of god and play that lol tons of picking technique in those riffs

[@willx6394]

I already know that I hold the pick wrong, but I can't change it. I do 2 fingers and a thumb on the pick and it's not right BUT I can do pinch harmonics whenever I want that way...

[@MACHETE_KILMISTER]

Thanks man!!

[@danielredway]

Really good video this one

[@AssassinAlchemist]

Rock on. 🤘🏽🐺🎸

[@Panurg81]

funny, in the slow showing at the end, the 16ths felt like triplets. dadada dadada. probably brain f*ck..

[@ric7765]

James Hetfield watched this video and said nope not for me.

[@maynardperalta3188]

Then he said “YEAH!”

[@세월유수]

감사합니다~

[@runreilly]

Trying to resist the urge to play triplets and accent every time the metronome clicks.

[@TyreFwatt]

I want to ask you a really dumb question , ok , ready ? Here goes , HOW DO I DOUBLE PICK WITH MY TEETH ? There ya go . Told ya it was dumb .

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

🤘🤘🤘⚜️🤘🤘🤘

[@edadan]

Dynamics? It sounds more like demonics.

[@SounduSleep]

Hes a great guitarist, but a poor musician.

[@iwoszymczak5966]

That's contradictory... musician can be a synonym to instrumentalist. What do you mean exactly? Do you want to say he is a bad composer? Why? I mean if you don't like modern guitar music go listen to pop music then, lol
