you have changed my playing for the better.your the best guitarist in the world bernth.i cant thank you enough for teaching me.
Is there a contest?
What tuning is this? OMG I need to try this....not the drilling part tho ;)
What did it sound like before?
So what was the effect this had on the tone. It would have been really useful if you had recorded it first without holes then rerecorded it with the holes and give us the two track to run through some software that would allow us to analyze things like harmonic analysis and sustain in a rigorous way. BTW great playing!
the holes were his strategy to lure us into hearing his amazing skills at playing guitar
And it worked!
@@Sabamonster Only once.
When I say I strive to play the guitar, this is what I mean.
Yes. Video had nothing to do with holes.
This dude is bet6terb than Milli Vinelli
This guy is one of the most gifted guitar players I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. That was flawless from start to finish.
Go look up Damian Salazar he’s an absolute animal on the guitar
Excellent username btw 👍
Look up Marcin. Dude can play classical piano pieces like the Moonlight Sonata on guitar. Or even better, Beethoven's 5th Symphony, which is just hyped up
Alip bata
Chefs fucking kiss 🤌*muwah*
Sequence starting at 1:20 is absolutely nuts. So smooth my guy. So smooth.
Thank you for reviving my inspiration to play brother, I wield the ThrollCrüx to this day.
I always though that sweep picking its a techique with much musical possibilities rather then sweep arpegios up an down, you sure showed me what ive been wanting to see/hear for many years
My guitar next to me looks like: "Bro, don't even think about it!"
This playing was insane!
Beautiful playing! Too often, this kind of playing sounds clinical. The way you do it I find I’m listening to the music more than I’m being amazed at your incredible technique!
Wicked sound, I’m going to drill holes in my korg triton tonight 🤔
Two questions:
Placebo? Comparison?
One criticism:
Don't think it matters what instrument it is, it is you what matters. Best ride is the rider..
And this one is quite the rider..
We have the after - what about the before? Lovely playing, by the way.
BEAUTIFUL 🤩👏🏻🥰‼️
I bared my arse and farted on an xylophone and it sounds UNREAL
awesome piece and no doubt the holes affected the sound, but I don't think this is the raw track we're hearing so idk if it would make that much of a difference compared to a non-drilled one with the same amount of post processing
I would love to have heard a side by side of the guitar pre drilled and post drilled with no reverb or other effects to really be able to hear the difference.
i'll give you a clue - no difference
@@nickpeddle6295 Unless you drill through a brace.
@@nickpeddle6295 Amen. Publicity stunt that worked.
Difference or no difference…that sound is sweet and smooth. Liking it.
Fully agreed with your comments
Sounds awesome! It would have been interesting to hear the same guitar before the drilling then after.
Would be real nice for someone like me who doesn't know the difference.
To me it just sounds like any other guitar.
@@tylerdavisson355Specially after adding effects on the audio production, my dad makes guitars, we're fond to music, i have no clue about what could a few holes change in a guitar that couldn't be replicable with an effect.
@@Al.j.Vasquez effect as in like, "post-processing"? Like something you'd do on the computer to edit it?
I play no musical instruments. lol
the difference is, when there is no drilling it's a regular guitar video and low amount of views, and with the holes there are a lot of views, and that translates into money
lol@@runatrix
I love how he just gets to the point instead of giving us his life story
It's so rare to see RUclipsrs who just get straight to the point instead of having to undergo long minutes of waiting
i was getting ready to skip to the playing after the ad, but im glad i didnt need to lmao
😂 exactly
this comment has me
Sonic inanity lol …there is a reason why there is only one sound hole on an acoustic…to deviate is to diminish tone..🙄
There's going to be a graveyard of acoustics before bernth is done with them holy. Also he's nearly become the guitar avatar at this point I think we're just waiting on earth.
soon he will be Bernth: The Last Stringbender
lol
Wait, there’s a ‘fire’…?
@@vcg7790 mhm!! fireworks!
"I filled my guitar with dirt and rocks and it sounds CRAZY!"
If you work for a guitar shop, you can really surprise the owner by making this enhancement to all his acoustical instruments. He'll never forget that you're the one who did that!
He might even change your terms and conditions. And salary.
Hey Lonnie I tried it, you got any money for bail man?
He will be speaking of you on his death bed.
Use a friend's guitar to learn.
@@kevinb9327Remind me never to be “friends” with you…
I would love to hear a none drilled hole version to hear what the difference between the two would be. Love the sound and hope you keep it up.
It's just an idea for a video. Obviously, it would be much better without the holes. But it's fine with holes, too.
Yes! We need to hear the difference!
It's not going to sound different. That's why he didn't do a comparison, it was just for clicks.
Then you'd realize that it sounds good because he's a good guitar player, not because drilling holes in a guitar is a good idea.
@lightworker2956 Well, yeah, it sounds good because he's good at playing the guitar.
I just wanted to hear what the difference the holes make with vs no holes since I'm not an audiophile and can't tell the difference. Having a nonhole comparison would make it easier to tell what drilling the holes do to the sound.
Would have been cool to hear a before and after to see what the exact difference the holes made was but the song sounds great. Love the harmonics.
None you’d hear post processing
Bit late for that now lol
This video is just click bate for showing off.
@@mickwilliams910 this isnt clickbait. He said he drilled holes in a guitar, he did just that.
But then we'd hear there was literally no discernible difference. It's a nice song though.
It would have been interesting to hear how it sounded before drilling the holes compared to after drilling the holes just to hear the difference , but still, I agree with everyone else here- that was just amazing!
the sound clips should also be "raw" with no processing to make it a real comparrison.
Facts the holes are a pointless gimmick without the comparison.
It sounds to me like it made a slightly brighter sound with the difference in the resonance compared to a guitar without the extra holes
@@stringsofhell I must have blinked because I didn't see/hear him play the unaltered guitar at any point in the video.
@@JohnSmith-ki2eq You just have to think about what a guitar normally sounds like. Maybe it's just easier for me since I've been playing for 17 years
Honestly, I'm not sure whether the "holes" add a lot.
With this kind of skill and expertise whatever one plays will sound excellent with or without the holes.👏🏾🎸
I just said the same to myself 😀
The holes got us to click on the video, so they served their true purpose.
acting like machiavelli isnt always holy ;) does make a distinct difference that makes it sound better like an effects pedal. cheer up if neccesay ;) not all in the worlds a conspiracy if you meant what you said even though it was funny@@michaeljuliano8839
I was hoping for a good before and after comparison. Oh and yeah, he could make a $40 guitar sound good.
@@standingeight1000Oh yeah? Well I can make a $4000 guitar sound like shit. So there.
Bro even if this man cut the guitar and plays it separately at the same time underwater with holes in it, it will still sound amazing.
It would have been nice to hear a before holes were drilled and after. The guy has tremendous guitar skills. Top level.
video lost it's whole point right off the bat
still even with the before and after it has no point since he always adds this reverb to the sound, which makes no sense if you wanna check out how a guitar sounds with those changes
All you are hearing is most probably not even that guitar anyway.
And a great sound system!!
@@RobertBernard-s8m No it didn't, mate. Calm down. Lmfao
I believe this wonderful sound is mostly due to the artist's talent. He is one with the instrument
NOPE, It's due to digital plug in reverb effect. Not drilling holes, not the "artist's talent." (except the artist's talent for CON LIE.) The wonderful sound you hear on this recording never actually happened in a room. It only happened inside a digital box. All credit to Lexicon reverb plugin.
And reverb. Skill and reverb. Oh and multitracking, lots of that going on.
If he grabbed any guitar in a store and picked it up and started playing it, you'd be blown away. He is VERY talented. Sweep picking is not an easy technique. His harmonics were crystal clear. His left hand is crazy strong to do the pull offs and hammer ons he's doing. If people hate reverb thinking it covers for lack of talent, they must really hate distortion.
@@RaBobcopium
@@RaBob you're going to completely discredit all of this man's hard earned skill just because he used a reverb effect to make the product of his playing sound better and more like what he was going for? the hell?
He should have performed the same songs before the holes so we have a base line for the improved sound.
would have been exactly the same 90% of it was effects..
Guy can genuinly play though.
The amount of reverb the holes added was amazing.😮
So many talented people yet no one gets heard because I won't sell my soul. Jeep up the great work!!
TRUTH 💥‼️💥
Preach ❤
It's not the guitar that's unique, just your guitar skill alone is the whole reason why this sound so good
Agreed
Yepp! Killer!
Or maybe we are not skilled enough to understand what he meant
by Unreal
Yep, I could drill a thousand holes in mine and it wouldn’t sound like that 😂
Do you have a comparison between this and without drilled holes? I'm really curious about the difference! This already sounds great.
... and without the added reverb on the recording.
@@ytsurrentrofright, and any other unspecified effects
Its just a clickbait trend for views he would have showed the difference if it really made a huge one and wouldn't have recorded with a bunch of effects on. All these vids are clickbait "I did X to my guitar and it sounds INSANE/UNREAL/CRAZY etc"
Overall I imagine it probably wouldn't have a good effect on the sound because acoustic bodies are designed the way they are with the hole where it is for a reason
He's his own prodigy. You should consider contacting Ovation or doing studio work.
Who cares if the holes did something. The song is just beautiful
I like these experiments with acoustic guitars. A comparison with a "reference guitar" would add even more spice to the videos. An apple-to-apple comparison is barely possible in such peculiar settings, but still an attempt would be worth gold. All the best to your career and your channel!
*Wow! Seems like the more expensive your guitar is the better it will sound with random holes drilled in it! Its amazing and I'm so happy I did this to my dad's guitar!*
This is the whole problem no before and after... he basically just tried to suck me in to hear his tune... it worked for like 15 sec plus this comment.
I had exactly the same thought. A "before" and "after" would have been great. That said, it's a good tune.
There's so much reverb slapped on top of it, this is completely unrepresentative of the actual sound of the guitar, also wtf is this statement "sound holes enable strings to vibrate more freely" this makes literally 0 sense, the guy is good but the video is bs clickbait nonsense xd
Let’s try this side by side with a hollow or semi hollow body electric while we are at it too. I mean if we’re okay with drilling holes in something with a price tag like that anyway.
Just when I thought I was getting pretty good at guitar, this dude drills a bunch of holes in his and does the sickest shit ive ever seen
lol ya think he just wanted for folks to see his playing,,he did nt show ya how to make the holes lol
I can't speak to drilling holes making any difference but damn bro you can play that freaking guitar like nobody's business! You're mastery of harmonics is unreal too👍
TELE6220 I am grateful that you took the time to explain the purpose of that confounded little floating comma thingy (which is apparently also known as an "apostrophe") that is annoyingly often times built in to my phone's 👈(see I told you)prompt words incorrectly and with the wrong usage.
☝️Also apparently this is also known as a run-on sentence.😜
@@HeathOakrayzy what?
@@clumpofdirt1193 he was sarcastically thanking the person who tried correcting him since his phone automatically adds apostrophes to certain words
That sounds almost electric.
I want more.
Like a 90 minute playlist I can put on repeat because this is so relaxing.
There's also "waterworks" and "fireworks" and hopefully there will be an earth part in the future. They're all on Spotify.
Almost as if it's an electric acoustic?
@@elux5504
I would have to listen to some samples to compare it to.
My choice strings are Chello and violin so I don't listen to a lot of guitar.
Do you have any suggestions?
The holes make it sound like reverb and multi layered tracks. Awesome!
Sarcasm? 😅 I genuinely wanna do this but I'm wah too gullible 🤣
🤣😂🤣😂 Golden comment!
I was about to say that. It ruined the whole point of the video
LOL Nooooooooooooooooo the reverb sound your hearing is effects he put on it along with a little delay on his computer. The holes do next to nothing. It's just to get you to click on his video. I use to work at PRS guitars & know enough to know what I told ya. Trust me if you drill hole in your guitar it would not do much of anything. He probably ws going to throw away an old guitar & figured I can make more money on RUclips doing something click baity. Anyways it was a good song he wrote IMO
@@holmzcat8493 Bless
This not only sounds amazing but your playing is next level.
He couldn’t play like that before the holes
If i ever get to this level not only will i drill holes in my guitar but also break its neck
Agree.
100%talent no bullshit 😮
*DUDE!!* Your sweeping arpeggios are INSANE!!! You are seriously skilled.
I don't think "seriously skilled" comes close to describe the level of this guy. I've seen tons of videos but this is just breathtaking, I guess he was born with a guitar in his hand.
asmongoldsmouth
If a song could stop traffic, his just did. He took us on a wonderful musical journey.
.... I am extremely grateful you used drilling holes to peak my curiosity enough to click, so you could blow my mind with your incredible playing.
Same
Same thing for me!
Same
Well, I really wanted to hear the difference before and after, not a pickup in an acoustic run through reverb. So I’ll have to disagree.
@@brendencarlson5220 I concur that the type and placement of a pickup determines a whole lot, even to whether some other difference makes any difference at all. Another commenter had mentioned Willie Nelson's axe Trigger in the context of giant air holes, to which I added just now re: the pickup tactic of that same guitar.
I was not expecting an acoustic guitar to go so hard. That was SO technical.
Please go listen to some flamenco, classical, fingerstyle, or bluegrass. I'm a massive metal and prog fan, but some of those nuts in the genres I mentioned will blow your mind on acoustic. Don't get me wrong Bernth is stupidly amazing, but he plays like an electric player, not an acoustic player.
@ShadowKatt classical/acoustic guitar is way more technical than electric guitar. Seriously the OG rockstars. Search 'La Catedral' by Barrios (all 3 parts, specially the last one). It will blow your mind. Enjoy!
thank you for mentioning bluegrass, our guitarists never get talked about enough
@@calebjay136Can you provide me a list of suggestions on who/what exactly to look up? I am really interested. Thanks.
It has an electric pick-up.
I was hoping for a before and after comparison. Great song, and you're really good, do the holes really deserve any of the credit?
Precisely
All I heard was electronic processing. Sounded nice but how do you attribute that to holes in the guitar? Its not out of the realm of the possible that the dude is just trolling.
Also can't tell what's going on with all the effects. Like is that reverb added?
@@TheJofrica That's the treeverb. It's from the treeholes. Treeholes in action.
No. It’s a direct detriment to the guitar and nothing but click bait. If you do this it will render the guitar practically worthless for normal use without the addition of post processing. The s/hole is a focal point for a reason. And we don’t build them in this manner for a reason. Basic math. He’s carried by ability and after effect. Don’t be drawn in by nonsense like this.
I didnt even know a guitar had the ability to produce such angelic notes that was phenomenal
It'd be a stone in the hands of one not so well practiced.
There's probably plugins on the guitar track. I wish he would have done a before and after with a dry signal.
@@christophernoia5197not just holes? 😂😂😂
@adambrezina8384 definitely using some effects (reverb at least)
@@christophernoia5197my brain had the same comments. You in my head man?? Lol
Very nice, well done! One thing I'd like is to hear the difference without effects because I'm genuinely interested!
So would I back to back before and after clean and dry no effects.
@@daveb227 me three (actually 82 apparently)
adds alot of projection creating a cleaner sound but with less muffled bass.ive done this with guitars and amps.first time I tried using an electric hollowbody guitar that was made with an extra harness cavity. love the acoustics of a gutted hofner with a zero fret, the hofner nut, and labella strings Plays beautiful pizzacato and natural harmonics. Works best in small rooms.
Go back and start watching the video at 1:41 to hear with effects mostly off.
And with and without holes.🙄
This guy's the model of efficiency... This is how you play maximum guitar with minimum effort. Literally stunned by this guys ridiculously 'Work Smarter, Not Harder' play style. So little movement for the complexity that is showcased. Ive played for 25+ years and what he's doing doesnt even look real its so good....im going right now to re-assess the way im playing. I see what he's doing, and its brilliant. Even better, it is a learn-able (don't care if that's a real word or not it fits) skill! Just never looked at the fretboard that way! Weird. Thank You, my man with the dreds, that is killer stuff!
I'm a 20 year guitar amateur lol, leaning I pick it up and put it back down long ago. Now I'm back because my son is interested.
Let me ask, what dofferes in his fret approach or playing style versus what you are used to.
I want to support this huy because his vods are good, but I still can't tell "why" it's good and this may be where the answer lies.
Let me know.
I bet it doesn't work.. without pickups, amplification, and edits. It's just lots of hammer ons. Not to hate on him but just not sure how it's new, there are lots of players with this style that take it even further.
What I don't get is how is he able to get the hammer ons and pull offs to sound so clear on an Acoustic. Is this a light gauge of string and a lower action?.He doesn't seem to be fretting hard. I am really struggling physically to do this on my Acoustic that has a heavy gauge and high action.
@@guitarpaul3645 Probably light gauge, low to medium action. His right hand is heavy enough to make it sound crystal clear on amps
The word you were looking for is Learnable. So yes. It is a real word just there's no hyphen
I listed a few of your guitar-destroying experiments (like this, the Fireworks one, and the Farewell submerged in water video) to my friend and joked “This man needs to be stopped”, but honestly? Never stop. Your music is incredible and I can’t get enough of it.
It’s so dishonest though. Not saying he can’t play as he’s clearly a very good guitarist but he absolutely drenches the guitars in reverb and delay. I’m worried some kid who has no idea about post-processing is going to dunk his guitar in water and wonder why it sounds utterly shit.
@@UltimateWobbleBoss I think people doing dangerous things have a responsibility to put a disclaimer so that children don’t try it, but I’m not sure the same thing applies to a guy just playing a guitar. He’s already pretty damn clear that it’s destroying the guitar and that you shouldn’t try to do this, I’m not sure what more you could ask from him. Any kid that dunks his guitar in water and finds out it sounds like shit is going to learn about post-processing the hard way, but learning things the hard way is called “being a kid”. I just think it’s really disrespectful to Bernth’s skill to say that his music is “dishonest”. He put in all of the hard work to get this good, that’s the definition of honesty.
@@UltimateWobbleBoss Just to clarify, I’m disagreeing with you but I do respect your opinion and I’m not trying to imply you shouldn’t be saying it. I know people can be real assholes in YT comments so I wanted to be clear on that. I liked hearing your opinion, I just don’t really agree.
@@UltimateWobbleBoss dude, look up a resonator guitar and then rethink your point
@@Hewarya This is still my comment thread and I would ask that you please be polite. If not, take it someplace else.
I wish we had a before/after here but the guitar does sound great!
Also sweeping on an acoustic looks nuts. Awesome as always.
Yea, without a before/after, I have no idea if the holes made any difference.
He wouldn't do a before because it makes no difference to his skill
No difference really. Believe me guitar mfrs have tried everything. This was more for getting clicks and views, and it worked
My thoughts exactly, "it sounds unreal" compared to what ? Granted the playing is great (better than great) the song is lovely, but I don't really see the point of the video, especially when you make the effort of videoing yourself drilling the holes, why not make a comparison ?
@@riffsnreviewsmaybe he did but realized it made 0 difference to the untrained ear.
I don't see how the holes would affect the strings at all, but I imagine it increases the resonant frequency of the body. That would boost the highs a bit, boost the mids a bit more, and lose some of the lower range. That would make the guitar brighter and sound more detailed, which is what you're going for in this track.
You could probably get the same effect by using a smaller body or putting something in the body to temporarily make the cavity smaller.
Indeed, it is in essence a helmholz resonator, so the bigger the throat area, the higher its resonant frequency. The spacing of the extra sound holes may add some weird muting too
An equalizer would cover all of that
Holy crap, that was painful to watch! The Guitarist and Luthier in me were both simultaneously screaming in agony and voicing approval. Meanwhile, my Hacker and Maker sides are laughing at the sheer gall, creativity, and devil-may-care attitude that went into doing that to your guitar. Bravo, sir. It sounds awesome.
Now I'm seriously considering making a guitar with 20 small soundholes ..
cringe
@@Demiigodd My comment, the video, or both? All of the above, IMO.
Yes he is rdavidr of guitar and that is a complement btw. Do you follow him (drummer at his best pioneering some weird sound hack)?
I’m a guitar modder and I hate seeing a good Instrument go to waste but I’m really wanting to do this now
Thank you for the the 2 minute straight to the point video, no 25 minute of pointless talking, insane playing by the way.
But how did it sound before?? Need a few more minutes to compare right?
@@rustynutsnboltz why are you thinking of making this mod.
I expected a comparison but got a heavily processed song where I have no clue if the holes had any effect at all, together with a weird description of "vibrating more freely" but the "losing sustain" how does that fit together? It's just a promotion of his song, I call that clickbait...
@@LuLeBe It's not quite clickbait, he drilled holes in his guitar and it sounds pretty good. Still, the point of the video is moot without a before/after with next to no processing.
@@Myuunium "erm, uh the point is moot" 🤓
Water in a guitar for "Waterworks" song, Drill in a guitar for "Airflow" song... I fear your future "fire" song !! 🙂
Joking apart, thanks for sharing such creativity and quality song writing, your playstyle is truly inspiring!
(Edit: OMG, how could I've missed this one, my bad !! (I love your vocals on Fireworks, you're really a talented artist!)
Airflow sounds cool, I thought it was gonna be called Drillworks 😭
What about the earth one, where he fills it with dirt! Honestly, he could probably make something cool with the dead and muted sound of a guitar filled with dirt.
he have already put fireworks inside his guitar to record a song called Fireworks :v
I'm looking forward to the songs "Unbroken", "Polished", "Mended" and "No gimmicks" lol :)
I'd pay to see the 🔥 song! Lol
You play guitar to an extent where my brain cannot figure out whether to listen to it just for the essence of it or to figure out the amazing notes you find out to play. Best wishes man, keep creating beautiful melodies alike.
Let us not forget the brave little guitar that gave its life to bring this song to us all.

nah just a couple piercings
@@ReVocals ha ha my man
This is one of the most musical pieces I have heard in my life. I loved every second of it.
Well, the structure is very Japanese. Meaning it's a long, long chord progression, with lots of bridges and choruses, while still sounding coherrent. I like it too, you should check out some Japanese pop/rock if you liked that :)
@@andyw.3048 Thanks for that tip Andy. I think I will.
@@andyw.3048 can you provide some examples/suggestions for Japanese music for me please?
@@andyw.3048 Really? Surprising since it feels a lot like music I'd hear from a western TV series.
@@brist0pher shiro sagisu - escalon , la distancia para un duelo sound similar to this I think.
This isn't just music played on a guitar, this is a magic spell infused with love and the exotic essences of harp and dulcimer! I can hear so many beautiful sounds within sounds. Bravo, dear sound alchemist! ❤
Pretentious clap-trap.
The holes were a gimmicky move but I forgive you because it allowed me to experience your amazing playing and great song.
I came to know you due to your waterworks album/ your farewell song. I don't know about music, but every song I have hear from you sounds like a master piece, it's mindblowing to me. You make me want to pick up a guitar and learn about how to show emotions through music.
Thanks my man
Try picking up the drums first if you've never learned an instrument before. It's a lot easier to get into it and sound ok enough to want to practice more, I mean you can sound fairly good with your hands, a desk, and your own thigh.
There's lots of other percussion instruments the skills translate fairly well over to.
And once you learned one instrument learning another one isn't so hard.
Also, a huge plus is you can get an electric set and practice almost completely silently. Not disturbing neighbors or your own self consciousness.
Or you can jump straight to guitar, that's what most people do.
YESSIR I was literally crossing my fingers for air and earth themed songs after Waterworks and Fireworks. Love your music, BERNTH!

This is some of the most impressive guitar playing, I have heard to date. 😮 WOW! 🤩

@@RedwanRajaki can hear how you look, smell how you feel, feel how you think, and taste how you sound.
Avoiding the "how you taste" sounds creepy, so I left it out.
1:42 the sound change is very palpable in this part so try to listen to it
Helps that you're a kick ass musician with top-tier acoustics. I wanna know how it sounded before compared to now tho
That's My thoughts too.
Same here! I don't see anyone drilling holes in guitar without hearing difference! Sounds awesome but I'm sure it would without the holes!
Same
yeah and loads of delay and verb haha, thought it would be a comparison too but it was just a flex! sick playing though!
I would have liked to of had a before & after
You should put a before and after in these types of videos
Those harmonics sound like a harp absolutely beautiful!
I love how he uses a concrete drill with a concrete drill bit on the thinnest part of the whole guitar 😂.
All of the wood workers know what I'm talking about.
This type of fearless innovation is the backbone of invetive breakthrough. Smash that glass ceiling with a jackhammer if you have to. Just don't stand under it... or on it when... oh what the hell. Just make sure it's on film.
Was thinking the same....sds drill with masonry bit.....nope! Holes were obviously pre drilled. Also, there is no wood debris while drilling....nope again. Still some excellent guitar skills, though.
Came here for exactly this comment lol
Who else would have taken the tension OFF the strings before spinning up the drill? Crank that fearless innovation up to 11 and use a step bit next time!
Yup
This does, indeed, sound awesome, but without a "before," it's difficult to understand how exactly this changed the timbre of the "after."
Excellent music, regardless. Stumbled into this by chance, and now I have to check out more of your stuff.
Not usually a fan of pure guitar songs, but your creativity with these is insane, along with your skills. The bit at 2:09 caught me wayy off guard
Lol your advertisement Farewell song is also pop up on your channel😂
This just popped up in my feed and, as a beginner guitarist, I was intrigued. After watching this… I don’t know what to say… I don’t know if I have words to describe how amazing and beautiful this music is. I felt this instant calming effect, like I was being carried away on a breeze. This is just phenomenal.
Well be patient my friend it's gonna be a long long journey
WOW! Cool to see the modification to the guitar but lets be real.. YOU sound great!
Love the song structure and musical exeucution in this! 🤘
I drilled holes in my room mates guitar.
She was a LOT less impressed.
It might have been that i also filled it with expanding spray foam and exchanged all the strings with knitting wool.
Personally I thought it sounded MUCH better afterwards [as she smashed it against the stair rail in frustration]
I love the classics.
What will be the next video, "I took out all the strings of my guitar and it sounds unreal"? 😄
Sounds like a plan 😂👍

@@Bernthguitar It would be fun to see picking the air 😆
I love his curiosity and playfulness in his approach to music. “What happens if I…”
a few weeks earlier I thought "it would be really cool if someone made songs inspired by the four elements" and Bernth is doing it in the best way
"I filled my guitar with dirt. The sound is UNEARTHLY!"
"I set my guitar on fire. Now it really brings the HEAT!
holes or water, sounds about the same thanks to the quality hardware and software
Dude... you come up with bangers, constantly! What a thrill to be in the audience!!
Who'd knew that a concrete drill bit would make such pretty holes in a guitar. Great playing!
That "hole" part is clearly just click bait. The playing is fine, but the holes? And yes, that drilling.. it wouldn't look nice like that.
Just put fingers below the holes and feel the thorn bottom holes edges. .that will be a murdered guitar. Ok if one got money to experiment on cheap guitars..hope he will do it on taylor or martin guitars with that type of hand drill and bits.
33 holes for the recording, then four more to cover your tracks. Pretty slick.
As a long time Bernth listener (since damn near the beginning of this channel), I'm glad to see these 'algorithm driven' videos paying off. Anyone who's been a subscriber for more than a year knows how much effort and value this dude brings to the table in every video every week. It's about time the YT algo rewards the almighty BERNTH!!!
Im just amazed by how creative someone can get with music on a guitar
You're fucking amazing, dude. This is the only way I ever want to hear an acoustic guitar played.
Sound holes release internal pressure inside the cavity. When the strings vibrate, they move air in all directions, including into the guitar. When there are few holes, you increase your sustain, because the air pressure sustains the movement of the string. But when you put sound holes in. That internal pressure is reduced, and the strings can vibrate more freely. But, since theres less pressure moving through the strings, you'll lose the sustain. ~ Your friendly neighborhood Luthier.
I think it's not the holes that make it sound UNREAL. Insane playing! Beautiful piece! On my way to spotify :)
Love how your showing yourself outside the Death Metal thing....you will be a huge act if you stay this course of material....love it man !
This is scam
Scam ! Dont fall for it
I think this is by far your most amazing piece. Absolutely flawless playing and simply beautiful too.
Seems like you're just a great guitarist and the music has a lot of production magic.
Most of people came here to watch how the holes improved the guitar sound, I watched how you swiftly moved your fingers and played and was speechless 🤩
My grandfather once told me that guitar is infinite. There is no limit on what you can do on the guitar. The possibilities are endless. Seeing you find those harmonics made me remember that.
Not sure that'd been impossible w/o the holes either...
Any instrument with strings piano, guitar, violin etc are only restricted by their air flow, container and lenght of strings...plus of course electrical pick ups and tricky processing, which is also unlimited. People make guitars out of cigar boxes... EG ruclips.net/video/ysx27Wo2a6Q/видео.html
He didn't "find those harmonics", they were already there, he just played them.

@@XX1SICKNTWISTED1XX That's a vitriolic reply, if I ever heard one. I agree with the former guy; take a simple piece like the eternal 'Lagrima'. You can work on that tune forever without getting tired.
That's one thing that, say, a pianist never understood with our instrument. A piece like the mentioned; we'll hardly get any cred from them, for whom a similar tune may be played easily like a breeze prima vista. Few other instruments are so welcoming for a beginner, but so demanding for the keen student - said guitar tutor Frederick Maurice Noad. Question to you mate: what's the pitch of the natural harmonic slightly above the 3rd fret, 4th string?
Dude your playing is like non-human it's almost scary to listen to it's so good like I don't even know what else to say 😂
I've never heard anything like this
After seeing some of this guy's videos, I realize no matter what he does to the instrument, he'll always produce great music, it's his talent that's unreal~ 😮
Your talent and dedication are unreal. Very, very impressive.
Every time someone does something crazy with a guitar like holes in it, or underwater, or metal neck, or different strings I just think "Yep, that sure does sound like a guitar!"
Always drill on your lap kids. Oh, and don't forget eye protection.
I absolutely love this, I can't get enough of this amazing guitar work. I've been a hard rock and heavy metal drummer for 35 years. It's rare to see such a amazing one of a kind guitar session like this. I would be honored to throw down drums to your guitar work.
This man’s guitar has been through it all.
Bro... You are by far the most inspirational guitar RUclipsr. You have all these crazy ideas that hook me in, and the pieces you create always sound absolutely breathtaking. Even though I can barely keep my fingers on the strings for more than thirty seconds at this point, I still aspire to be like you someday
Why can you only keep your fingers on the strings for 30 seconds?
@@rasta1017 pressing down on the strings, not just having them on there
@@rasta1017 and it's probably closer to a minute but still
@@the_real_boogeyman I can relate; it took me quite a while to build calluses.
You are so talented, and you make it look effortless. The harmonics are really lovely with the increased air flow.
obviously its really great as usual :) would have been nice to hear it before hand
Incredible!!! I love the sound and how amazingly effortless you play so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
I think it's not as effortless as it appears. That's the thing about experts and geniuses, they make the difficult look easy. In some cases they make the impossible (for you or me) look easy. It's wondrous to watch and enjoy.
But it was clickbait. Most of us who play really wanted to hear the difference before and after, not a guitar run through a set of effects boxes.
0:10 THAT LOW NOTE OMGGGG
The sound is from the pickup isn't it? You just drilled a guitar for nothing.
