This needs to be a weekly series!

While this is obviously “beginner” stuff, this video gives us a real-world view of what a beginner guitarist can expect to go through to gain the fundamental skills to eventually shred.

It will be very interesting and exciting to watch her progression over time under the tutelage of a master instructor.

Very enjoyable and entertaining, no matter the beginner material. I really liked the happy and supporting tone of you two together ❤ This would be a nice, reoccurring addition to your channel.

As a guitar teacher myself, I love your teaching technique. I watch your videos often so I can get new ideas for my students. You are an awesome teacher Bernth. You demonstrate patient and very understanding way of teaching. Loved this video. All teachers should watch the way that you explain things.

[TheJonz]

Nice, you actually made the beginner stuffs looks not so boring. I will recommend this video to beginners.

[discokillers]

The best part of this video is taking someone with very little experience and watching how quickly they are developing with this well covered lesson. Very good lesson!

I'm self-taught, and I've been playing guitar for a little over 30 years, but I still love to go back to the basics sometimes. I have perfect pitch, and play by ear, and never learned to read music. Bernth, I think your tutorials are very well done! You make it so easy to learn for beginners, as well as advanced players! Thank you for what you do!

As remedial as some would find this, I found it to be perfectly suited to help recenter. I sometimes get lost with so much information out there, I forget to practice these basic skills. Having a beginner with you, and hearing her work on these necessary skills made it real. Thanks for your tutorials!

[BaconFire]

She is off to a great start - so many beginners cant even get thru the first exercise. Well done.

[Gizmo-stky]

Bernth you’ve helped me develop my techniques tenfold!! Thank you for your content and dedication to your patrons and viewers. 🤘🏽🔥

[mateogarcia]

Awesome video. Your girlfriend is a natural. It was pretty funny watching how surprised you were with how quickly she was catching on. She's a keeper bro. Bless you both. Take care, from the good ol' U S of A

[tomholbrook]

Having your girlfriend as a model student is inspiring to us to see the progress a testimony to your teaching. Thank you

[kruse]

I really like your focus on the right hand from the get go. I spent close to 5 years unlearning the bad habits I had taught myself in my early headbanging days. Btw. Your patience and humorous approach to teaching is sooo inspiring.🤘

[luluhaxi]

Really some important information - especially what MISTAKES you could make and what you should try to prevent! I wish i have had the possibility to have learned from a goot teacher as you are...

[GTKR]

This is absolutely awesome, everything is crystal clear and well explained, please do more videos like this. Thank You!

[ubmastering]

Getting a good picking angle is a great exercise. I would love to see this series continued.

[thomask]

This was great! Thank you, Berth. I am teaching my daughter guitar and this is so helpful.

[jabez]

I am feeling that I can be a professional guitarist by watching ur videos and practicing !

[jeremywho]

This is great! I hope this turns into a whole series!

[elisareyes]

I love this!!! I can't wait to see her progress 😍 Keep making videos like this!
I play guitar but I'm not very good at it and watching this makes wanna me go back to basics and practice along with you two 😅 wich will also help me alot 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸🎶⚡ Thank You for putting a video like this! I really enjoyed watching! 😁

[timgleaves]

I have been playing "Open handed" on the picking hand for all my time with the reversed angle of my pick. This is actually the first time I have heard anyone say that they have done this, so I appreciate the parallel! I will give the closed hand a try and see how that works. Trying to correct 28 years of bad habits (yikes!). Been struggling with some of the shred exercises of my own and maybe this is what I need to improve. Thanks for the nuggets of information!
