I've been playing for 20 years and I've never really thought about how hard I press on the fretboard. thanks for the mind blow.

[drabbster]

after 21 years of learning the guitar, finally, you are the one who is able to teach me! Your lessons are nothing but awesome and I'm making more progress with them in the last few months than I have made in the last 10 years without them.
I applaud you and thank you from the bottom of my heart! <3
I still have a lot of your Youtube-videos to learn but I'm becoming a Patreon now, mainly to give you something back! :)

Through all the guitar teachers I've had over the years, no one has ever dug this deep on technique. I feel inclined to share it with other guitar players I know. So glad I found your channel- thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I taught myself how to play in high school and have been playing for about 15 years now. I got far with no real strong technical foundation or lessons, but I've always been capped by speed. I just assumed I didn't have it in me to shred.

I stumbled upon the BERNTH's picking technique video and had an AH-HA moment. I had weak technique and I was holding the pick wrong! I feel like I finally have a path to playing stuff I've always wanted to play, and I'm now taking building a technical foundation seriously. I probably thought that was boring before, but what you gain from it is so worth it.

Playing with consistency, confidence, and without strain makes playing so much more enjoyable. I'm taking it slow, but things are finally making sense.

I was at my local guitar shop, testing out a pedal, when the shop owner was mindblown by the technik tips I picked up from this video. We talked and he ended up giving me the keys to his shop! Thanks to this video, no doubt! Watch till the end, you might end up with a free guitar shop...

I like how you focus on the small things that make a big difference I appreciate you Master BERNTH danke!

[knightstalker]

*Thanks BERNTH.. You always share your great skills here. Love your guitar 🎸 sound.. No burst. Salute nice setting!*

[bkmeahan]

switching to .007s and .008s made me focus on having a lighter touch. That made a world of difference in my playing. I think a scalloped fretboard also forces you to have a light touch as well.

Trick #2 combined with your way of holding the pick and closed hand... this is MAGIC
I was always playing with an open hand, anchoring with my pinky, and my index and thumb holding the pick were always kind of "unstable", but somehow I managed, alternate picking was working good enough at least

but I've been practicing sweeps for some time, they were giving me quite some trouble, it's like you said, it felt that sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, it was kinda random

and then I tried your technique - suddenly the sweeps became almost effortless, and I can do them consistently well, WTF
how such a small change can give such a leap in progress, it's really magic...

[michaelfortunato]

I'm definitely benefiting as a beginner watching these so I learn the proper technik! Danke, Bernth!

Snapping motion tip about string transition is very helpful for me.
(Ending with an up stroke on the lower string and then having to play a down stroke on the higher string.)
That kind of string transition has been the most difficult thing for me for many years.
Thanks to your advice, now I know what to focus on when practicing.
I'll Pick up my guitar and practice right now.
Thank you BERNTH.🤟

Insanely good videos😳. You are Paul Gilbert/Malmsteen level with technique! Always helpful and impressive.

[spenceh]

Just started learning to play. I’m 62 and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play. The biggest challenge for me is fingering the fret board. I just can’t seem to angle my fingers right, especially when I’m practicing the spider crawl. Going to practice some of these techniques and hope it’ll help me or maybe I’m just too old 😊

[titanoboaoficial]

Thank you bernth! Have been struggling with fire and ice at a low bpm for months... Finally I progressed! Light touches, minimal wrist movements really helps... Something I never thought of cause I always exaggerated the wrist movements and swayed left and right... My speed and precision increased with just light touches and keeping my wrist steady...

[GripperCc]

Bernt you are too good! You are so extremely technical and play fantastically well and i are not even jealous because no one can be so good 😁 when I play it is a gentleman's string sound and tangles me in the strings, but hey it still swings and rocks fat.
