There is no way in hell I could do that, like just sit there for what, hours? Just picking up and down, up and down. Maybe it's my ADD? But I just can't do that, I would fall asleep or get bored and put my guitar down. I practice by playing, like I actually focus to improve while playing. I know no songs either, maybe one day, there will be no singing though.
Oh yeah, I remember watching a video a long time ago of some highly respected teacher with a crowd of people he was teaching. He said that it's really important to have independent control of both hands, somehow it's supposed to improve you alot as well as making you able to achieve faster and more accurate playing. He had them just rest their fret hand on the neck muting the strings and working on picking with no fretting. Then also switch it up and work with just the fretting hand, it's supposed to allow you to develop more complex rhythms and stuff. I tried it but it didn't last long, that whole ADD thing.
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.
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!
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
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!
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.🤘
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...
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!
I played open hand for 16 years and recently switched to closed hand and at first it felt so stiff and I felt like I lacked the emotional expression in each note but eventually my wrist loosened up and now I can play much faster and cleaner and over all things are much easier now. Keep shredding Tim!
Great information for us who are beginning to learn how to shred. The video was very entertaining, and it appears that your girlfriend has a very patient, kind, and expert teacher. Nicely done guys!
I also like how your able to give MORE insight into the playing and I can see some of the pointers she picked up from watching you likes us , I love how this turned out , multiple ways and views to get it , WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS FORMAT AGAIN, AND ALWAYS THANK YOU.
Bernth man, you’re the best. I’ve been playing for years and still found these exercises fun and challenging, especially when you crank up the tempo. Thanks so much!
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! 😁
I don’t know if there is a continuation of this. But thank you!!! I hope there is a series on this going from this beginner steps and then what you recommend next!!!
Bernth, you turned your skills and passion into a huge blessing, accessible 2/47. And maybe your courses will save the ears of music store employees, everywhere with internet connection!
Thank you Bernth (: i know a little basics and then some but I do love challenging my brain! I feel like my brain has figured out a few of my favorite tunes. Without your help I wouldn’t have been able to do this so thank you. I am failing at learning chords , triads. I know a few two or three note camp fire chords, which help me play my own stuff but still learning all the notes on the fretboard to help solo which I enjoy a lot more then camp fire chords. But I need to know both... she did very well, way better then myself, great student and teacher. Great video!
i've been playing for a few weeks now, and find your channel EXTREMELY informative, but most of the material is above my skill set now. This video alone has been the most helpful as i can see a "teacher" working and adjusting a "student" from the natural mistakes they make. When you show the example of what should be done, it isn't as helpful as seeing what to adjust and the why behind it. What an underrated channel.
This was one of the most helpful of all of your videos for me. Seeing someone who has similar progress to me despite playing for a year and them learning from your tips helped me understand how truthful your advice is and how it helps your students.
Your playing is phenomenal first off!!! 🙏🏼 The more advanced videos seem lightyears away…..Until you see this!! I’m glad I’ve continued visiting your page and finally found this video whilst holding my guitar.
This one was fun to watch! It was a great reference to the progress I’ve made over the last year (my first year learning guitar). We all start as beginners. Great content as always!!
So cute! It's pretty reliefing to see a girlfriend involved in the "likings" of her loved one, especially when talking about guitar and sports! 🙂 You're very lucky!
That’s an excellent guitar choice for her. It’s a really great guitar. If I’m correct, and that’s an Ibanez AZES40. Both the AZES 31 and 40 are punching above their weight class for the money
Thank you. I really appreciate the positive and helpful way you break this down and make me feel like I can do this. I'd love more content like this. Thank you.
Great content man. I find your videos extremely helpful. I've tried a couple of your exercises and tips and of course slowly.... My playing is starting to improve. I've been a player for 20 years but never any real structure practice. Trying to unlearn some bad habits I picked along the way. Frustrating at times but rewarding in the end. Thanks for your instruction. They surely work
I did not have a teacher or youtube when I first started! I am just re starting again after a 10 year break after a bad injury and it is hard. I am suprised by how much I still remember but I decided to go right back to basics now I have youtube and your videos are helping me a lot. I was doing a lot right but the videos are really helping me re learn and add to what I already new.
@@Bernthguitar that was excellently played by her considering her first time. She may be a natural so keep teaching her! Now please follow up this lesson after she's your newly wed wife and then again after you've been married to her for 5 years. Would like to see if your patience dwindles 🤣
That's a nice (vibe) video of you & your girlfriend working together - if she really is a beginner she certainly shows potential. It would be interesting to see how quickly she progresses. Have a nice day 🎸🤘
Nata is a fantastic beginner! I remember when I used to think of my experience with guitar as just campfire chords. I was as surprised as Bernth when he saw her economy picking as my fingers were coming completely off the board when I was starting out as he said.
Yes love your channel , and love the way you teach, I'm going to school but the way other teachers teach music theory is they expect you to learn quickly, the way some teachers teach you sucks , they rush you trough the program without giving you time to develope your skills and they also put you down with words like no and a bad tone of voice like how can they put people down like that in front of other students , like they are like too cocky even if you do something wrong like they want everything perfect , and it's more being patient and everything takes time. Love your channel bro, hope to keep learning from you.
Sometimes I watch your begginer videos to make sure I don't have bad habits. I've been playing for 15 years but never established a proper foundation. I learn something new every video, keep up the great work!
Bernth your lessons are so awesome, the way you explain and patience I can watch your lessons all day. Glad I'm a Patreon member. I'll keep progressing cause your lessons. Thank you!
This is A PERFECT idea, and it's also really cool when you guys show more of you and ANYONE WILL SHOW MORE WHEN WITH THEIR PARTNER, OR NOTHING AT ALL, BUT IT WORKS .
Hey Bernth, I stumbled across your channel when I looked for some tips on shredding last week. About 3 hours later I joined you on patreon. Goooosh it's just so good and so packed incredibly good content. I also really love the way you show and describe everything that you do, so you'll probably be my guitar teacher for a looong time hehe. I hope you agree with that;-) You really got a new fan here. And now it's sooo lovely to see you with your girlfriend, I'm really enjoying this video. Thank you for everything you do. It is so inspiring to me. Liebe Grüße aus Köln (habe gesehen, du hattest vor ein paar Wochen einen Auftritt hier, nur wenige Minuten von meiner Wohnung entfernt - bin gestern Abend am Gebäude 9 vorbei gejoggt - daamn, next time I'll be there) Tobias PS: It won't be long until I get into your 10 Steps to Modern Shredding Course.
I had to go outside of my box (country, bluegrass, jazz, and blues) to shredding to work on hand synchronization and I'm glad I came across your channel a month or so back. I'm going to add these exercises to the ones you had showed in previous videos. This video was perfect timing, as I have been doing the one where you hit each note 4 times in the 5th position minor pentatonic. After a while it get's old if you know what I mean, so these will make that 10 minutes of practice so much better every evening. So thank you for this! And who knows, maybe one day I will shred \m/
I feel like learning to shred would be directly helpful with country and bluegrass. Skills like travis picking and chicken picking will totally benefit from this kind of practice!
I love your videos! You're my favourite guitar youtuber. I'm a beginner and I always watch your videos as motivation for where I want to be in a few years.
I just dont get it .... Only 377 subscribers ??? Should be a few million at least .Bernth your lessons are excellent and i Thank you for all the good content and help with my playing since i have only been playing a very short time .It has given me so much insight into playing
I've just started trying to learn guitar so I will be looking out for these beginner videos. As I've noticed most of your videos are far too advanced for me as I've never played before. Subbed
One thing I'd love to see is something addressing the topic of adapting tecniques to overcome physical limitations. I have a pinky finger with an extreme bend and an ill fitting joint that causes pain with constant movement, for example, some tips on how to make the most of my three fully working fingers would be a godsend. But beyond just me, the encouragement of "yes, you can still shred, here's some ideas to adapt your playing", I feel, would really help multiple generations of creative minds that feel they'll never be able to truly express themselves because of physical limitations.
I think that's an awesome idea and I would like to see that kind of thing too, especially since I have my own unique limitations that I'm not entirely sure are possible to overcome, but that I *have* found methods to kind of "work around" them. It would be wonderful, like you said, to have some instruction from talented and highly experienced players like Bernth for how to go about *finding* those kinds of work-arounds. The problem though, is that there are as many weird personal limitations as there are guitar players! Like, for you it's your pinky that is the issue, but for someone else it may be their forefinger, or whatever. I have a friend who plays guitar even though he lost his forefinger above the last knuckle. He still uses the "stump" to play and he is quite good at it! But he has his own unique set of ways to cope with that literal shortcoming. So the methods for dealing with each of those issues are going to be totally different, at least when it comes to the specifics of the limitation. So Bernth would either have to make thousands of videos addressing just some of the many potential individual issues like that. Or he could be so extremely broad with the general advice that it's applicable to many different issues. But that's not only a very tall order, it still doesn't address something as specific as your pinky-bend.
Teaching my wife to shred. It's a challenge. It's been tough. But it's been fun and a great bonding experience. And let me tell you this..... your gf was aggravated with you during this. But I'm sure you where made aware of that after the camera was off. Lol. Her body language and facial expressions said it all. My wife gets very aggravated while I'm teaching her. Lol.
That was great. Hopefully I can say I'm not a beginner guitarist, but some of your videos feel way beyond me. Videos like this still help to check my technique. I've been doing your most recent course on hand synchronisation and the 5 day block method is going well. I missed a day, but overall can definitely feel progression in my skills. This helps develop overall confidence and inspires me to keep learning so thanks for the great content 🤘
Patience is a virtue... Especially with people we care about. (So hard, I don't know why?) Anyways your lesson? Your patience knowledge and understanding is professional and outstanding! You Slay Shredder !!!
Here I was thinking I was pretty decent playing what you did at 6:08 of course now I feel I owe it to myself to learn to do it properly instead of taking a sloppy shortcut. I also really need to get into using a metronome. Like a fool, I just never use them. 😂
Forgets to put on the volume button Nata: 'Fail'😂 Bernth: 'No that's not a fail, it's a cute fail' Me: So nice 💞 Can't tell you how many times I forgot to put on the volume when I first started playing electric guitar and expected the sound to magically come out😂
@BERNTH Something about this particular video was distracting me from being able to learn...well...anything...I don't understand what though...😉 However, I learn pretty quick from your other videos.
so ive recently tried the closed fist grip. im attempting the same technique you show yet my index finger keeps scraping the strings as i strum but is fine whenever i pick. what might i be doing wrong? love the lessons btw thank you much!

Seriously, that dual guitar lick at 10:35 sounded really heavy 😁👍
I asked at your concert in Utrecht about thumb placement and im so gratefull you included this in the video!

Agreed 💪😎👍 🎸
I couldn't agree more. Very useful to see actual issues and a ways to fix them from a real person not as good as the host.
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.
I completely agree with you here!
Agreed. Plus it will be fascinating to see progress being made.

Having your girlfriend as a model student is inspiring to us to see the progress a testimony to your teaching. Thank you
She is off to a great start - so many beginners cant even get thru the first exercise. Well done.

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

Please have your girlfriend play more often. She is SUPER helpful. Seeing her hand placement is so important.🌺

This was great! Thank you, Berth. I am teaching my daughter guitar and this is so helpful.
One of your best videos. Nata was a great student and you an excellent teacher. A wonderful example of a supportive couple.
Great information for us who are beginning to learn how to shred. The video was very entertaining, and it appears that your girlfriend has a very patient, kind, and expert teacher. Nicely done guys!
Getting a good picking angle is a great exercise. I would love to see this series continued.

Man thank you so much for making videos like this for free 🙏
The young lady has a knack -- she pays more attention than most people, and the teacher is also cool and attentive, so you're up for an ideal start.
Man you are a really good teacher. After I started watching your channel and changed the way I practised, I improved so fast.
Bernth man, you’re the best. I’ve been playing for years and still found these exercises fun and challenging, especially when you crank up the tempo.

But that's not only a very tall order, it still doesn't address something as specific as your pinky-bend.
U good man I got fucked up fingers too its not the most practical but it's possible. I mean chris Poland does great at mainly using 3 fingers.
Awesome beginner video !! Please do more like this!
Really happy I found you Bernth. Awesome teaching style. I found my teacher 🎉🎉🎉
Always watch till the end.. i'am a beginer. Thanks to you
These two are my choice power couple for 2021. They're so adorable together gahhhhh!
Teaching my wife to shred. It's a challenge. It's been tough. But it's been fun and a great bonding experience. And let me tell you this..... your gf was aggravated with you during this. But I'm sure you where made aware of that after the camera was off. Lol. Her body language and facial expressions said it all. My wife gets very aggravated while I'm teaching her. Lol.
That was great. Hopefully I can say I'm not a beginner guitarist, but some of your videos feel way beyond me. Videos like this still help to check my technique.
I've been doing your most recent course on hand synchronisation and the 5 day block method is going well. I missed a day, but overall can definitely feel progression in my skills. This helps develop overall confidence and inspires me to keep learning so thanks for the great content 🤘
Bro you're so much help 🤘🏽 much respect from Texas
I don’t play metal guitar, my favorite shredder is the the Reverend Horton Heat. I learn a fuckload from your videos none the less.
I loved that video I wish you would do a weekly video for beginners shredders
I have learned so much just from doing this practice!! Thank you!😊
Love your content man...I need to buckle down and advance my playing.
Entertaining! I remember those days a long long time ago!
Awesome Bernth as soon as i have my bonus i will subscribe to your patreon page. you open my eyes on a different level
Need more beginner lesson like that one.
Patience is a virtue... Especially with people we care about. (So hard, I don't know why?) Anyways your lesson? Your patience knowledge and understanding is professional and outstanding! You Slay Shredder !!!
Awesome seeing you two together
Keep up the great work!!👍👍
It cracks me up watching you get your girl involved when she obviously just wants to go shopping.
Why do we LOVE the G string? Thanks for the lesson btw!
12:21 you better address her left hand wrist before you give her tendinitis
Even Bernth’s un-synchronized picking sounds better then a lot of peoples best playing.
Here I was thinking I was pretty decent playing what you did at 6:08 of course now I feel I owe it to myself to learn to do it properly instead of taking a sloppy shortcut. I also really need to get into using a metronome. Like a fool, I just never use them. 😂
Forgets to put on the volume button
Nata: 'Fail'😂
Bernth: 'No that's not a fail, it's a cute fail'
Me: So nice 💞
Can't tell you how many times I forgot to put on the volume when I first started playing electric guitar and expected the sound to magically come out😂
@BERNTH Something about this particular video was distracting me from being able to learn...well...anything...I don't understand what though...😉 However, I learn pretty quick from your other videos.
Great video lesson Bernth! Thank you!
Best teacher i ever had encountered in youtube.
You are the MAN!!!! Been so fun learning from you the last couple months!!!!! The guy at 17:11 is pretty cool too hah
Girlfriend has great pinky finger strength for a beginer...! Awesome little change up in content it allows for some people to catch up
so ive recently tried the closed fist grip. im attempting the same technique you show yet my index finger keeps scraping the strings as i strum but is fine whenever i pick. what might i be doing wrong? love the lessons btw thank you much!
Such a lovely guitar lesson
Gives you an appreciate of actually memorizing the notes on the board
