If I would add another step to the end of this lesson, it would be rushing notes/phrases. I hear many guitarists rush into a phrase. Especially when they wish to put a more shreddy idea as a climax. Often a guitarist forgets about musicality and wishes so much to end with a bang that their transition from melodic to shred could use attention. Great videos Bernth! I always learn lots!

That awesome feeling of inner comfort that hits on 0:45 is so precious...

Nah... I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. It reminded me way too much of something you'd hear from a 'Kirk Hammet Presents: Cliche Blues Licks! Starter Pack' sans a wah pedal, of course.

Proper finger spacing lesson? I dont know how far to spread my fingers or when or where to move on the neck. Best teacher ever. Thxu

[@asawizall7019]

I feel you. Fretting thumb placement/movement feels like it’s holding back my left hand, it’s constantly getting held up moving up and down the neck

[@larryfleming7295]

Baby powder lol

[@larryfleming7295]

I’m laghing but I have used it before to slick up things when sweat and oil seems to slow down movements...yes I was high and been playing for 3 or so hours lol 😂

[@NatureBoi0]

I'm mostly talking about max firet stretch and eliminating unnescecary notes as you work up the neck. Sweet spots; and techniques, to maximize shred economics.

The work you are doing is amazing. You provide in depth content and lessons for free for the entire internet to enjoy. Keep it up man.

[@wadef7015]

Man I'm loving the videos. I'm a pretty advanced player and still find myself learning things from you. One thing you have, you explain/teach things in a way that it "clicks" with you every time. A lot of guitar teachers or instructors are good but they can't explain things to where they click with you and you have that eureka moment. I would say you have a gift for teaching my friend. Keep up the good work

[@billbutler3158]

Dude, you are a guitar god. I have tried different guitar teaching websites but they left me hanging. You show me how to get it done. Thank you so much. I am your student

[@Laevus2321]

This is a great breakdown that should definitely help a lot of people out (I'm personally in the process of trying to open my lick ideas wider to stop myself reverting back to the same patterns on autopilot). Thanks for also mixing up the styles and doing something different in all the examples too.

[@lancegould]

I like to take a very unique approach and begin in a frenzied climax and then fade out in such subtle manner that people are awe struck at just how cleverly I’ve disappointed their initial expectations. I call it my anesthesia method. As though I’m putting you under for surgery. By the time you realize what’s happened, I’m long gone and you have thirty-six stitches in your head. Everything is fuzzy and some people are even crying.

[@tinytim71301]

This guys is incredible. Great teacher.

[@DilanSkrill]

Your lessons are so straight forward and easy to understand and get the idea quickly. great video brother 🤘🏽

[@johnskerlec9663]

Very nice lesson. I like your logic. Mix it up. Break it up. Build redundancy, build tension, throw out the rules and have fun. Fantastic.

[@vanheath5382]

I liked the sounds of all the licks he played, the good and the bad habits ones. Amazing guitar player.

Definitely going to join your patreon. Everything you put out is pure gold. You’re an amazing teacher and player. You break everything down in an understandable way that a person can actually apply. Great work

I joined last week and don't regret a second of it! Even if l had not been playing for a long time now...am actually doing more workouts than playing lol but enjoy it so much!

The 3rd bad habit could be a solo replaying the singing pattern of the lyrics, but great solutions! Thanks again Bernth!

[@joetroutt7425]

Every time I watch your videos I get fresh new takes on how to play instead of the old stay in the box method.

[@illusionarymeow1052]

I personally feel trapped in scales sounding solos, these tips really hepled me man!!! Ur guitar God!!! Thanks man!!!

[@hannaobrc1947]

Yes i agree scales not intresting to play..but imho i think in begining it is great to get familiar with sounds of scales notes intervals . Later when yor ear "revolved" and recognize notes of scale maybe u chose diferent aproach like target core tones or maybe even more outside box note 4# b7 .. it depend where are u as player in ur learning curve..anyway great lesson.greetings from Slovenija

[@jongoodman4622]

Wow, so helpful. I am practicing your lesson for sweeping, and while it is difficult I really appreciate everything you are sharing. Thanks so much.

[@Michael-bl4no]

Another good practical lesson. The last solo was so melodic and beautiful. Shades of Lynch style in there. Subscribed. You and Late Night Lessons are great. Your lessons seem more focused on technique and person style/expression while he focuses on known player styles and licks. I’d be interested to know your primary influences.

The #4 tip is very helpful for me. The #6 mistake is already good for me but you're right, everyone has to try to be more creative. Thanks for sharing the talent ma. Missed the geiger guitar.

[@jerroldhewson3600]

That was awesome!!! I am guilty of 4 of those bad habits, but now I know what to look for and what I should be practicing on. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@cpamiseso]

Thank you for the ideas! I always use the singing approach, be it shreds or simple pentatonic. It helps me creatively put notes on guitar fretboards, and somehow avoids these mistakes. But sometimes my singing can be trapped in one of these still.

[@ApexFunplayer]

Motives are how I form interesting improvisations. The second bad habit is definitely one of mine. See #6 is just fun. I love doing that.

[@infinitedaves]

Thanks for the awesome lesson! Your videos have really helped me progress my skills after being in a rut for so long and you really hit the nail on the head here... I've done many things you bring up and admittedly still do some of them, but you did an awesome job pointing these mistakes out and providing great examples of simple and effective solutions. Much appreciation!

I dig the different kinda twists suggested here! On the other hand, personally speaking, I think that whatever "mistakes" are being noted here come in use still for certain players. All depends on how you FEEL the music. Thinking about how the way you play complements your own personality 🤘

This has literally been me stuck in the pentatonic for 10 years...

[@t3hgir]

Try to connect the major and minor pentatonics to the major and minor scales or whatever mode you are playing in, I see things in overlapping shapes on the fretboard.

[@ronlynnm]

Dude learn your intervals then once you learn those look into modes you will have an epiphany ✌🏻✌🏻

Also , I never see anyone mention this . Rehearsal isn;t just about familiarity with routines but about again economy of movement . the rehearsing is also in many cases about learning the finger positions to faster transfer from one position to another between two chords or collections of notes . You don;t need to always follow the set finger positions . you can change them . Example , normal tuning , going from E5 to B5 , you'd go down a string with all 2 or three fingers . Why ? Because you're told to . rehearsing it and properly apply economy of movement and the fact you have four fingers , on E5 it would be finger 2 on the second fret of the a string , finger 3 on the second fret of the d string , then you'd move all 3 fingers down for the B5 . Why would you not do this with rehearsal . For those two power chords with rehearsal . First chord E5 as mentioned . then take the first finger out of the equation for the switch to B5 . Doing that , you already have your second finger on the root note of the b5 Power Chord , the B note on the A string , so just leave your first finger out of thhe equation , with your second finger on the root note and the third finger already near where it needs to be on the d string , you just move that along , then add your fourth finger into the equation . You didn't have to move your hand , you just had to add the movement of one finger . I haven;t seen any lesson I've looked at mention these things . Also , you still have your first finger in place on the E string for any upwards switches , and you're just removing your little finger from the G string ( Yes , bad joke incoming , it's very rarely the little finger that goes in a G string lol ) .
