[@heavymetal11]

Thanks for these. Question: what is the string action for your guitar low E

[@chezteladog]

There are a lot of videos on the Patreon. Which goes with this video? And thanks for the video because this is exactly what I was trying to understand. EDIT: Found it. Ex. 211.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Preach! I keep trying to put out the word but so many insist that their guitar teachers all tell them to play from the elbow. Makes no sense. :(

[@PatrickHelyer]

I mean there's people who can make it work I.E Rusty Cooley but yeah they're an exception to the rule I guess.

[@tattoogypsy1970]

To each his own.

[@shikaku_]

It depends on genre too you'll find that country and folk music uses the whole arm a lot of the time

[@SwedishDude08]

For me it does xD. I have a screw on the pinky side of my right wrist and moving my wrist hurts, even slowly. 5 years post surgery for TFCC and zero improvements after years of hand rehab. So I'm actually watching this video in a reverse way: Look at how he plays with his elbow.

[@egmaverikc84]

Thank you so much Bernth! This is exactly what I was needing to take my playing to the next level! I want my picking technique to be konigsklasse!!!!!

[@bazarista4720]

Bernth you are königsklasse of guitar teachers on youtube. Thank you!

[@brianbergmusic5288]

Great lesson. Anyone who can perform pure alternate picking with arpeggios (one note per string), is another example of Königsklasse.

[@rocketsurgery912]

I’ve been playing for 25 years or so, and it’s as if you went into my head and found the thing I couldn’t put into words all this time! Thank you so much for this lesson; I haven’t had a EUREKA moment with the guitar in a very long time.

[@denmun9722]

This channel is amazing. Been playing for over 25yrs w/a significant 5yr gap. Many bad habits I've managed to identify and attempting to demolish and build back up. This is helping me get there faster for sure

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

Bernth is the Konigsklasse of all KZbin and beyond! :D Thanks as usual for this amazingly helpful content. These are great exercises!

[@schwab21121]

Bernth, thanks for your dedication to helping me become a better guitarist. I enjoy your videos very much. I love playing guitar.

[@deanpaul8478]

Bernth always putting out the best guitar content. Thank you. Konigsklasse

[@alexhistory617]

Bernth you are the best, thank you so much!!!

[@SteveFye]

Bernth has the absolute best KZbin channel for great guitar technique lessons. Why aren't there more subs???

[@kultbotcustomshop3849]

Man your lessons are incredible . They are they klipencloppen word you speak of.

[@everybodypomarancze9355]

Danke Bernth!

[@bradleybarton9064]

Great video. It all comes down on who wants to do the work and become better and who doesn't. Thanks for your hard work!!!

[@kam2057]

This is incredible. Its exactly what I've been looking for. I bought my first 6 string over a year ago. I been practicing the solo to cemetary gates lately and the first half is no problem. The second half I just don't have the speed and I'm stuck so thanks for a great video lesson man!

[@mikeivey8471]

Your videos are always the #Konigsklasse of all tutorial videos on KZbin !!

[@kylereece1979]

I could spend the Rest of Time trying to build up downpicking speed, with seemingly no success. Ive given myself a Tennis Elbow style tightness and pain in both arms from trying to Metronome along to Hetfield! I need to relax the arms and zone in on the connection with the wrist. Thanks for this lesson.🤘🤘👍

[@komarin2]

best shred lesson teacher. thank you always

[@vamnoone]

Deine videos sind einfach perfekt für einen anfänger! Danke!!

[@pureblood8198]

Thanks Bernth!

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

Bernth you really are amazing. You keep pumping out so many great tools for getting better. I just wish I had more time to work on them.

[@goldtop68]

I wish we had this in the 80s when I started playing,learning everything wrong and continuing to suck to this day. Thank you Bernth,I ve learnt some nice things,although it is hard to correct bad techniqe at being 47 years old. Tom

[@thezzach]

Who else can you think of who is as talented AND as friendly as Bernth? I can’t think of anyone. ❤️&🙏 to you, Bernth. 3:30 4:27 5:42 6:00 👉👉👉VARIETY OF SPEEDS*** 6:55 Fast mixed with medium 👉8:15 I can only get there by doing these exercises. 👀

[@Mahesh-ov4vq]

you are best teacher sir....i reallly love your improved videos...

[@RalphMayers]

Holy shit man! I used some exercises from your another vids,just tried a few times and i really felt that i became a little faster and my picking is more solid than before lol. I'm still not sure about my right hand (is it moving right or it's not),but it feels much easier anyway. Maybe now i know that exercises can be that interesting,and it's not just boring scales or something.Your licks are fun to play,thank you so much. I wish my picking technique will be konigsklasse one day!!!!! Thx to you my friend.

[@valtterivanhanen4271]

Woah this absolutely was one of the biggest eurekas for me. Thanks so much! Königsklasse!

[@adriankovacs4133]

I realized that the most important thing when it comes to mastering guitar or any other skill is patience and endurance and oh of course Bernth videos :D

[@giannispagonis6229]

Great video as always man thank you very much, this was (again!!) exactly what i needed. I'm gonna check for hidden cameras in my room cause the moment i detect a new problem in my technique, you upload a video JUST FOR THAT in a day or so hahah. Königsklasse guitar teacher out there!

[@opgkoyote7989]

I’ve been practicing guitar a lot more recently. Almost daily. For only $5 a month your patreon really seems compelling

[@opgkoyote7989]

I’m also having trouble getting a good pick grip and finding the right pick thickness. How much room I leave between my thumb and strings always seems to change

[@V8Spitfire]

I love Elevation!! Can’t wait to see what’s next!🔥

[@rbgohome]

Thanks to you I think there will be a time we can channel all our humbucker energy into the power grid and solve man kind energy problem forever, and make crazy good music in the process!

[@icaruslives4748]

I love your channel! I learn more technique and theory from you above many other inspirational musicians. Thank you for your time!

[@ThinhTran-wy6vc]

I've been learning guitar for 6 weeks. Broke my wrist trying to practice like Bernth. 😂😂 In all seriousness though, your videos have helped me a lot. I started doing closed hand picking and I feel that I'm progressing fast at my beginner's stage.

[@joeroe2622]

Thank you for this I needed this I'm really excited to reach the Königsklasse of picking ;)

[@nersonangelo]

Thank You much Bernth.. God bless your work

[@rasmadrak]

Awesomesauce! Thanks for these great lessons! \m/

[@Slachtbeest]

Great excercises!! 🔥

[@Jolgeable]

I'm not even a guitarist, but I think this is super interesting, hahaha. The problems, the challenges, etc. Maybe the way you approach all of this. It's super königsklasse. X) Cheers from Brazil!

[@EsaValkama]

How did you end up here if you're not a guitarist? :D

[@moisesemh]

This is useful if you're sitting down when you play. I find that if you play live standing up you mantain most of your stability on your shoulder as it helps your speed and controlling your guitar.

[@alexanderfamily]

Another fantastic video! I think this blue background looks and all the playing picking etc can be seen very clearly! Thanks so much for all the great videos!

[@theclassicrock8644]

Really thanks a lot for the great techniques for picking.

[@someguy6552]

sems like a very helpful video, Thank you Bernth.

[@MoonWalker777]

Very useful vid! Thank you! I think this technique is the most effective and up to date!

[@dgambl1]

I have recently started using the closed hand technique. I played the open hand technique for a long time and it never expected speed, but did create noise and inadvertent operation of the volume knob. It was a quick fix, that took a little time to get used to. At first, I was actually clenching my fist and caused fatigue, but after some practice and attention to detail, I was able to play like this in a relaxed form that is more comfortable and cleaner than before.

[@Remembering0never]

Thanks bernth, these exercises are truly Königsklasse!

[@TheStrykerProject]

Well, while I won't be Königsklasse with these exercises, especially with the shredders in this community, I sure feel like this came at the perfect time for me. I've been working very hard to increase my alt picking BPM over the last couple of months, and the results are disappointing and frustrating. I look forward to working these new exercises into my routine today!

[@mostly_buckethead]

If I had a time machine I’d take this video back and show my teenage self. Your lesson vids and course helped me make the first quantum leap in years! 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@a_handshake_of_carbon_monoxide]

just where i had been stuck🤩🤘🏻 thank you very much

[@antonbeniaminov5195]

Мне очень тяжело понимать на английском языке , но правда очень познавательный канал. Благодаря каналу я открыл для себя очень много гитарной техники, и это прада круто. Я никогда не считал себя музыкантом, потому что не могу связать теорию музыки с практикой... но очень много нового познал благодаря тебе... спасибо тебе дружище за помощь. Она бесценна для гитариста. Продолжай в том же духе. Может быть и я буду играть как ты...

[@voronOsphere]

Thanks, Bernth! Great exercises!

[@nik8ivnv]

Thanks! Life changing content!

[@konvergierend.konservativ]

thanks, god bless

[@JoseGarcia-oq3sz]

I learn a lot with your videos, thank you!

[@johnwardle9667]

I have no idea if you made this video because of my question. I'm 99% sure you didn't, but thanks so much anyway. This is so useful for what I'm working on right now..

[@airon128]

Exercise one start: 3:31

[@tonesofhome69]

So cool! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Bernth! - I would love if you teach your viewers on how to fast pick in between strings accurately. Im struggling a lot with it.

[@MrTimonius]

My wrist was stiff as hell...then I started playing funk. There was an improvement in less than a week. I will definitely try these exercises though.

[@DBDiNsPireD]

Can we keep our palm on the bridge for picking ??

[@viking_sith_lord]

Well said dude. Great exercise.

[@erichodnett4475]

Hey BERTH my Patreon is acting up but I was trying to find you because OLA made a vid about you! It’s awesome!

[@YuralRock]

thanks man, thats exactly what i need right now, cheers)

[@InZomnia365]

Everyone talking about picking speed, meanwhile its my fretting hand speed that is my biggest hurdle... Not that my picking speed is particularly fast, but my left hand cant keep up with it regardless.

[@rasmadrak]

In my opinion it feels like it's all related. Any effort spent on controlling the right hand is effort lost from the left, and vice versa. 😂

[@orshy1]

I'd guess that that's probably not the case. It's most likely more an issue with synchronization than your left hand being incapable of moving faster than your picking.

[@nagarev]

I'll work with this in order to get those Königsklasse picking techniques. Wohoo

[@leparadisplaylist3888]

thanks a Lot paps... 🤘 🤘 🤘

[@subhankarsaha1032]

Thank you so much for this lesson. It has helped me a lot❤️🎸

[@Chiefthepup]

Thank you for posting the only picking technique videos that seem to cover everything. I do have one question though, I’m not too obsessed with “shredding” or even tremolo picking, but my goal is to do early Metallica/lamb of god style triplets and quadruplets between chugs. I find that my arm locks up the moment I try and hit those groupings. Any tips on how to get those James hetfield rhythm guitar chug riffs?

[@angeljavier9541]

Súper great job . Genial exercises really goods

[@cort_tempered]

Marty Friedman's technique scares me

[@p3raaj_official]

Thank you Bernth..

[@onepro1234]

Awesome video Bernth thanks for sharing these great lessons really have helped improve my technique. Do you have any advise on how to get better with position shifting up and down the neck of the guitar. And how to create longer runs without running out of strings. Thanks.

[@kanchandas3172]

What a lesson!

[@andrebuenevides]

BERNTH!! ACREDITO QUE O APOIO DA MÃO DIREITA NA PONTE DA GUITARRA SEJA DE GRANDE IMPORTANCIA??? NA HORA DE PALHETAR ESCALAS !!!O QUE VC ME DIZ!!!ABRAÇO E SUCESSO PRA VOCE!!!

[@totallynotfamed]

Looks like we are watching modern paul Gilbert ....relaxing picking technique

[@williamkoenig7486]

Do you have a video on how to tame the bouncing right hand when alternate picking?

[@anupakash6813]

thanks a lot❤️

[@musiclovertuhin4581]

Thank you boss

[@snowandcoal]

Danke schön

[@patrickmckay6621]

I used to play SO RELAXED but a few weeks ago something must have changed without me noticing,,,,and a seious wrist pain occured. Hope the tips will help...

[@gilferreira2869]

Very good

[@Johnmannish]

Very interesting! One question, do you tilt your pick forward towards the fretboard a little bit instead of pointing perpendicular to the body of the guitar to glide better through the strings?

[@minombreesninguno6492]

*Eres un crack!!...* 🤗

[@yaellara1861]

Esacto 👌

[@subhajitpaul7351]

sir please upload a video about bending.. needed some exercise about bending.. please

[@TheSeensca]

谢谢你，一流水平

[@mrezamaredi3221]

Das war Klasse, Königsklasse :D🙂

[@KRayxKodessA]

I recently took a closer look at my picking hand, and I've come to realize that I struggle changing positions to transition to other strings. I anchor my wrist on the bridge, and pinky on the treble pickup ring. Any exercises to change that behaviour? Thanks!

[@ManishGupta-jj5jk]

Please upload the drum tracks of all the exercises

[@velasquezdiego3210]

I just have a question and it is where should I support mi hand? On the bridge, on the body of the guitar, on the air(not talking bout palm mute)? Could you include this as a tip in one of you videos? Thanks a lot

[@yonatanc25]

is there a video where you explain wrist motions, pickslanting tec?

[@tylerdav3071]

You're probably using the wrong pick angle bernth video

[@therattlehead_]

Do you consciously reposition your right arm when starting from the higher strings and going to the lower strings or has it become muscle memory?

[@nordicshredder4128]

koningsklasse of guitar lessons

[@ConstantineM]

I was practicing FOR HOURS in the last half year to develop fast wrist picking. And I didn't had any success. My left hand can move really quick, so I play legato instead. I think that this is something physical with my wrist. Because there is no progress

[@Gworan]

Cool. So I've been playing wrong for over 15 years. Starting again with the closed hand picking technique feels like the most discouraging thing I've even encountered.

[@lyanporto]

Hi! Love your stuff, I'm even a supporter on patreon. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't quite understand in what way your technique should change when you change tempo zones. Any help?

[@patches4864]

I can finally play Jesus' Død effortlessly , thank you so much!!!

[@antropomorfizacja]

Are you using wrist motion just up down or is it rotational movement like Yngwie for example use?

[@kingsiegfried8568]

Are you "resting" your picking hand on the guitar like the bridge or your hand is always in "the air"? Because no matter how I change my arm/wrist/hand position it's as if i can't find a comfortable way for me to pick.

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

Was that a John Petrucci signature guitar pick I saw in your hand? It looked like one of the Jazz III picks except slightly larger. Just curious what you use.

[@clariiblanco]

Bernth! please help me, when i play tremolo picking i feel pain in my elbow! and when i try to play with my wrist, i can't play to fast tempos. What i have to do? thanks!
