#1 guitar channel on youtube thanks for a great year!

For me the most awesome thing to learn was all notes in Em/GM using 3 notes per string and next re-using 2 of the last notes on every string as 2 of the first and then adding one new note. When all that was learned it became possible to improvise endlessly everywhere on the neck in key. And changing key is the same shapes but moved up or down the neck.

Thank you for what you are doing. I picked up guitar long before the internet was around. I had very little guidance. I never gave up. I feel like I should be a lot better than I currently am considering how long I've been playing. You and people like you have awakened the excitement that I have not felt in years.

I focused on picking and legato technique last year and you have been immensely influential in my progress

Damn that Trick 1/big interval scale is sweet! Just memorized it but gotta get practicing to get it fluid.

[Cyzer]

I really enjoyed this added perspective of adding notes the to minor pentatonic scale, and the visual representation of the modes made it make so much more sense! Thanks!

Danke Schön Bernth!

This content right here is why I'm subscribed to your channel and on Patreon for 2 years now... and why for 3 of the 4 days I was at Rockville Daytona (Metallica x2, Anthrax, Disturbed, Lamb of God, Gwar, Atreyu, Mastodon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mudvayne and _many_ more) I wore my "Shred Every Day" and "Cosmic Shredder" shirts! 🤘🏻

After so many years when I was younger, just learning to play by tabs and never knowing what the hell I was actually playing, your Patreon content and this channel have completely changed my understanding of the fretboard and what I can do with it.

Vielen Tausend Danke!

Amazing video lesson! I never thought that theory can be taught in under 14 minutes. If only I had a teacher like you Bernth back in the day! I wouldn't have struggled to learn music theory, I've learned it the hard way by learning how to play piano. Thanks for changing My life!

[Kithara]

Thanks Bernth. I just joined the patreon about a month ago and have been doing the 30 day tapping, legato, and alternate picking routine and have doubled my speed with all those techniques. You really know how to explain things where I can understand. Thank you so much!

The last part of the Tornado of Souls solo is clearly recognizable, great!

2:07 Amazing tattoo You got there sir, but kinda scary too! TY for the lesson!

[MisterSparkles]

Thanks for condensing all this content into 1 video.

[drabbster]

Holy cow! I've been trying to play Trick #1 for over half an hour and still can't play it fluidly at any speed at all :D
Love all your content! Been practicing about 2-3 hours today with the courses from your Patreon and I had a lot of fun with them for the last 2 Months!
I'm progressing slowly but I can feel how my overall technique is already so much better now!
Thanks, Bernth, for always killing it with your lessons!

Hey Bernth, I just discovered your channel (after dodging the ad for a while though) and i am very happy i finally took the time to watch some videos of yours and must say, you have a great way of explaning things. I play since i was 16 (now 46) but tbh i never had any training whatsoever, i just learned by ear and got pretty good at it, after an almost 10 years pause, i wanted to dive in all the theory i was missing in my starting days and tried some online courses, but with your videos i immediately had some eye opening effects, so patreon is guaranteed! :) Thanks and Cheers to Austria from France! :) Chris

[darkscreengremlin]

Appreciate all you do on this channel Bernth. You give so much insight and knowledge for free and inspired me a couple months ago to play guitar again. I've kept a daily practice routine and love playing along with many of your videos daily. Still haven't figured out the right way to position my fretting hand so I don't hurt my wrist and arm after long practice sessions though ha. Keep up the great work, and I hope all is well. Almost forgot.... Musiktheory

[jameswyre]

Excellent job, I always appreciate your teaching ability and humility to admit where you had challenges as well.

[stevebracher]

Great work, your way of breaking it down makes it a little easier to digest. Thank you for sharing, I will be investigating your courses.
