Dear BERNTH, we need more workouts like yours on RUclips. It’s so much more fun and encouraging to practice along with someone. Almost no one else does them. Please consider doing a: -Full Rhythm Workout -Vibrato Workout -Chords Workout -Hybrid Picking Workout -8 Finger Tapping Workout -Slapping Workout -Harmonics Workout -Muting Workout I would happily add all of these to my practice routine, and I’m sure they would be very helpful to a lot of people. Keep shredding, you’re the best teacher on RUclips when it comes to anything technique-related!
@@Johnnysmithy24 afaik there are already some nice workouts - staying close to the fret board with the left hand -> “Economy in motion” - chord theory (afaik plenty of them, I created a playlist for that based on Bernth’s videos ruclips.net/p/PLInB9bZfaMEhFgPOdjG6CuNX-nsyJ6d3W) Regarding the rest of your list: 🤝
I have been doing this routine for over a year now. Every time before playing anything else I play this and two other of your routines. I have now noticed the importance of finger practise and my playing has improved more than ever. I owe you big time, your videos are so helpful. Thank you BERNTH!
I've been putting in the practice for the last four days and it's awesome to be reminded of what it was like when I first started playing guitar nearly two decades ago: practice pays off and you can see the results. I was getting stuck at 100 BPM a few days ago but now I'm pretty comfortable at 120. Awesome videos.
BERNTH, my man. I can’t thank you enough. After 13 years of playing guitar with plenty feelings of stagnation, I was able to reach level 11 after practicing for half an hour! That’s way better than I thought I’d ever do. Whatever blockage I’ve had all these years has finally been broken. Thanks to you, I have hope again, and the world seems a lot brighter. Much love!
Playing along a little over 80 Playing on my own I’ve gotten up around 110 The trickiest part for me is the middle finger positioning definitely not something I’m used to but I can see how it all flows together
Still struggling with Levels 1 and 2, but also for total guitar noobs like me it is a lot of fun. Isolating the hands (picking transitions only playing dead notes or just trying to hit the frets with the other hand only) along with this video is a great beginner workout, too. Thanks Bernth !!
Day 1: started with 35 bpm. I can really feel the strain on both the hands and am trying play with synchronization of both hands. Day 2: did it on 45 bpm. I am feeling more comfortable with the workout.
That's fun. I'm no shredder (yet), so I had to work my way up from 40 bpm with a metronome until I could play along with the first round. 60 defeated me instantly! 😅 Still, I love that this is a musical workout and not just a chromatic exercise. and I'll try again tomorrow morning.
I'm consistently on 60 bpm now. 70 works sometimes, but sometimes I'm dropping out from the backing track as well. What I'm noticing is that 50 bpm is now far more clear and precise as well.
@@symphonicdualityband Thanks man. I hadn't done the workout in a while, but today I passed 80 pretty stably and could play along at 90 for a bit. I think it's really a good exercise.
Hey guys, took me more than 30 days to come to clear 200bpm, somehow everyday feels much more "safer" and hitting those fast notes in correct time with metronome click is so good and satisfying after all of practice its like great reward! Thanks Bernth 🙏🙏🙏 You are the very best instructor ever I must say that and all must agree. 👍👍👍
Between you and Ben Eller's great exercises I might just be the best guitar player in the world, but we'll never know because I spend 4 hours a day doing cool picking exercises instead of playing guitar ;)
Day 1:90BPM Day 2:100BPM Day 3:110BPM Day 4:110BPM Day 5:120BPM Day 7:130BPM Day 9:140BPM Day 10:140BPM Day 11:150BPM Day 12:150BPM Day 13:160BPM very sloppy Day 14:160BPM still very sloppy Day 15:160BPM slightly better Day 16:150BPM Day 17: back at 140
Day 1: Problems memorizing patterns.... 20 min practice, I finally passed through level 1(50 bpm). Decided to practice 20 min more. The wrist of the fretting hand hurts a bit, probably because I'm not used to it. Made it to 90 BMP without a mistake. Had a quick look and 100, seems easy, but enough for today. I think I should focus on my pinky and just generally minimize movement. Day 2: I had a few mistakes on 50 bpm, then it went good till 100 BMP, I couldn't stay in sync with the video so I closed it and started to play with a metronome. Passed 100 bpm but was not very consistent at it. I need to be more precise.
November 17th Stuck at 130 for a week Anyone got any tips on how to break a speed barrier? It’d be much appreciated! And as always thank you Bernth for another amazing workout video!
day 1: 100 BPM day 2: 110 day 3: 120 day 4: 120 / 130 day 5: 120/130 day 6: 130 day 7: 130 day 8: 130/140 day 9: forgot to play day 10: 130/ 140 day 11: 140
Hi Bernth, you've over 100+ technique lessons in your channel. Well, thanks a lot for that. But do you think you could maybe help out beginners to gradually learn from those lessons - basically am asking in which order should a beginner follow those lessons.
This would be a great start for beginners. Remember….go slow and do a lot of rewinding to get it down before you move on. It’s hard but with patience and perseverance you will get it. Best of luck on this guitar journey.
Check out Ben Eler! He has an awesome series of videos called “this is why you suck at guitar” that goes over a bunch of techniques! Rock on brother!🤟🤟
Sep 2 - Took a while to learn the lick in the first place, but then felt more comfortable at 60bpm than 50. 70 was almost doable but not cleanly. 80 was not really possible. Sep 3 - Disappointed by a lack of progress, still kind of stuck at 70. Sep 4 - Still not great progress, but practiced the lick a lot without and with playing along. Ended up almost clean at 70 but not completely satisfied. 80 was possible to attempt but very sloppy. Sep 5 - Not mcuh progress, 70 almost, 80 bpm a bit better but not really clean. Sep 8 - Coming back to it, it's suddenly much better. 70 pretty clean and 80 almost clean, needs a little work, still happy with some progress. 90 quite a struggle, 100 impossible.
Not only are you a beast when it comes to playing the guitar, your teaching techniques are insanely spot on. After playing for almost 10 years without using my little finger on my fretting hand (injury related, and never really got confident enough to use it!), it took no more than 5 days to play your workout at 100 bpm ... have a long way to go, and am nowhere as smooth as you are, but I feel super confident that i'll make good progress. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Hi Bernth, i'm from Ukraine, now i work in the rear, and guitar become a way to distract from the war. Wanted to learn something like a shred and accidentally got on your channel and very like it, you show cool things in good way, thank you! And i was also surprised by your video about the concert in support of Ukraine. Thank you and all people for support, it is really important to feel that we are not alone
June 14th - 50 bpm July 8th - strugling 90 bpm August 14th - Strugling with 100bpm Big jump November 2th - 150 bpm Another big jump January 9th - 180 bpm
June 28th 2023- started workout. had to start on 0.5x speed on the first exercise then 0.75x, memorizing the notes as to not rely on the tab. After an hour of practice, I was finally able to play the first round. Been playing guitar since COVID
I like doing broken third or sequence exercises of regular 3NPS scales at the 12th fret using my first three fingers and not the pinky. Really forces the 2nd and 3rd finger to stretch apart. Also that fast "tapping like" riff in the tornado of souls solo really helped me stretch a lot. I worked on it for months and was ready to give up in the first 4 weeks :D
A few things I'd like to point out with this exercise - which no-one else seems to have mentioned - the degree of difficulty also depends on what kind of guitar you have. I have a 1960's Strat - so obviously I can't do this exercise on that - I have a Les Paul - which again makes it pretty hard to get to the 22 fret easily ( at least with my small hands!) - I dug out a modern LTD guitar which I rarely used and then hey presto the exercise was much easier. From that I take it that a "shredder" type guitar is much more suitable for these exercises?
i've never used this portion of the neck so much! i got up to 90 bpm before my left hand technique (especially my pinky and ring fingers) started to fall apart. my picking technique is pretty good, but my fretting hand is still having some issues. i hope to get up to 150 before the month is over!
5 days later im still the same but i havent practiceed this week very much, but when i do i make a conscious effort to play as clean as possible. still at 90 but its much more fluent
Great practice workout, Ive noticed that I continually seem to revert to hammer ons and pull offs, with this exercise focusing on correct fingers picking timing etc I am going to commit this to my daily warmup practice routine, NICE ONE
After a few days, my plateau around 90bpm has me practicing this all over the fretboard. I've learned it by ear and this workout has expanded my improvisation skills so much already. Thanks for sharing!
Me yesterday night: “Ah, this can’t be that hard, I’ll try it tomorrow”. Me today: Struggles to even do the stretches. Hahaha Edit: I needed to warm up first. Now I’m doing it lvl 1 🤘 I simply can’t play this without pain in my hands with classical technique. I might be in trouble as I get faster, but I’m much more comfortable with my hands slightly slanted.
I have the same problem with the hand position. It just means our left hand is weak. Keep practicing it with consistency and it'll get there before you know it.
Just got myself jazz III picks. Starting this exercise today. Can't wait to see the difference in 2-3 months.. I hope my neighbor's will understand...lmao
Day 1- 5. july 2022 - 80bpm Day 2 - 6. july 2022 - 100bpm Day 2 - 7. july 2022 - 110bpm Day 3 - 8. july 2022 - 120bpm Day 4 - 9. july 2022 - 130bpm/140 Day 5 - 10. july 2022 - 140bpm Day 6 - 11. july 2022 - 150bpm but not perfect Day 7 - 12. july 2022 - good 150bpm Day 8 - 13. july 2022 - meh 160bpm Day 9 - 14. july 2022 - 170bpm Day 10 - 15. july 2022 - not perfect 180 bpm Day 11 - 16. july 2022 - good 180, and bad 190 bpm Day 12 - 17. july 2022 -190 bpm Day 13 - 18. july 2022 - still190 bpm Day 14 - 19. july 2022 - 200BPM yeah, i did it. Thanks Bernth :)
Started: APRIL 7TH 2024 day 1 : Getting used to the pattern can do 50 BPM but not perfectly day 2 : Close to perfecting 50 BPM , attempting 60 whilst polishing playstyle day 3 : Perfected 50 BPM , comfortable at 60 BPM pushing for 70
July 1st → learning the pattern July 2nd 80 Bpm July 3rd → 90 Bpm July 4th → 90 bpm July 8th → 90 bpm problem left hand can't follow the speed July 12th → 110 Bpm July 16th → 120 bpm July 18th → 120 bpm July 30th → 120 bpm
Day 1: 100 BPM, 110 is where it gets sloppy. Day 2: Wasn't home so couldn't play. Day 3: Getting way cleaner on 110 but cleanest is 100 Bpm atm. Day 4: The same. Day 5: 100 is mastered and 110 bpm is also almost mastered, can almost do 120 but it's sloppy The previous days was somewhere before December 13th in 2023 and it's now like 2 months after and I haven't done this workout that much but tried now after about 2 months and I've pretty much mastered 150 bpm, can almost do 160.
for anyone discouraged they are getting stuck at a certain speed, i was at 90bpm for well over a month (almost daily practice) and finally made it to 100 today!
Don't know if i do something wrong, but i always do these videos from the slowest to fastest tempo every time when i practice. But recently i got interrupted and i had to put down my guitar for like 5 minutes, and when i returned to continue a left of around 100 bpm, as i start from this tempo i feel more relaxed and play more efficiently, not getting tired.
Slower tempo is actually where you train your fretting hand. You need to keep your fingers in stretch for much longer while at higher tempos they just fly across the frets and it is your picking hand that gets more work-out. If your fingering is sloppy, focus on lower tempos, analyze, train there. If your alternate picking needs work, the high tempos will show you how to move, so you can use the same short motions when playing slower.
I technically can't do this, cuz I have 60 bucks clasical guitar and I'm too poor to afford acoustic or bass.. But still gonna try on lower tones , aka frets..

My fingers somehow get tied in a knot every time I try to play something else than power chords in drop D, so I figured this would help. Wish me luck. Day 1: learned the first 2 bars at 25 bpm Day 2: completed level one at half speed Day 3: completed level one at 75% speed Day 4: completed level one at 75% speed Day 5: first played level one at 75% speed, then tried to play it full speed. Day 6: went back to level one at 75% speed, paid extra attention to my thumb placement. Also having a bit of trouble reaching the 22nd fret with my pinky. Day 7: first played level one at 75% speed, then tried level two at 75%. Day 8: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Somehow forgot everything I've learned in the beginning. Day 9: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Went a lot better than yesterday. Day 10: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Mainly focused on other things like rhythm today Day 11: Finally got up to full speed on level one. Day 12: level one at full speed again Day 13: level one at full speed again, tried level two. Day 14: Couldn't practice due to my birthday Day 15: Got to level two again Day 16: level two, tried level three for the bantz but failed Day 17: Couldn't get passed 50 bpm today, despite grinding for 20 minutes Day 18: While I was struggling again with level two, it went a lot better than yesterday Day 19: Level two, no problems again Day 20: Still level two, probably gonna be a while before I get to level 3 Day 21: Still at 60bpm Day 22: ya guessed it, 60bpm Day 23: Struggled with 60 bpm again, not feeling well today as well Day 24: 60 bpm again Day 25: Stayed in bed due to sickness Day 26: New guitar finally arrived, I still have to get used to it. But for this day I got to 50 bpm. Day 27: Getting used to it. Although, holy mother of fuck, I can't get my fingers to synchronize. It has never been this bad. Day 28: Finally back at 60 bpm. Day 29: Felt sick again. Day 30: got to 70 bpm. Day 31: 70 bpm, but not as good as yesterday Day 32: Getting better at 70 bpm, making less errors Day 33 to 35: Was too busy to practice Day 36: back to 60 bpm Day 37: 60 again Day 38: 60 Day 39: Almost 70, but still 60 Day 40: 60 Day 41: 70 Day 42: 60 Day 43: 70 Day 44: 70 Day 45: 70 Day 46: 70 Day 47: 70 Day 48: 70 Day 49: 70 Day 50: 60 Day 51: 60 Day 52: 70 Day 53: 70 Day 54: 70 Day 55: 70 Day 56: 70 Day 57: 75 Day 58: 80 Day 59-61: took a break Day 62: 70 Day 63: 70 Day 64: 70 Day 65: 70 Day 66: 60, it's getting cold and I'm having trouble moving my hands Day 67: 70 Day 68: 60 Day 69: 70 Day 70: 70 Day 71: 75 Day 72: 60 Day 73: 60 Day 74: 70 Day 75: 80 Day 76: 70 Day 77: 70 Day 78: 60, trying out jazz picks for the first time Day 79: 70 Day 80: 70 Day 81: Christmas Day 82: 75 Day 83: 70, Some days I can't seem to hold a steady straight 16th rhythm and accidentally play a swing at higher speed Day 84: 75 Day 85: 80 Day 86: 75 Say 87 & 88: Day off, celebrating new year with some friends Day 89: 75 Day 90: 75 Day 91: Break Day 92: 75 Day 93: 70 Day 94: 80 Day 95: 75 Day 96: Break Day 97: 75 Day 98: 70 Day 99: 80 Day 100: 75 Day 101: 80 Day 102: 75 Day 103: 80 Day 104: 80 Day 105: 82,5 Day 106: 90 Day 107: 90, tried 100 Day 108: 75, practice genuinely went so ass, I had to puke Day 109-117: Took a break due to illness Day 118: 75 Day 119: 80 Day 120: 75 Day 121: 80 Day 122: 80 Day 123: 80 Day 124: 80 Day 125: 90 Day 126: 90 Day 127: 90 Day 128: 90 Day 129: 90 Day 130: 90 Day 131: 90 Day 132: 80 Day 133: 90 Day 134: 80

Moooood
Omg. The random ghosts notes had me in tears.
I'm like "That's 20 done, and this one right here must be 22"

Also I grinded this for two hours last night and I'm working on level 8 now 🏓
Dear BERNTH, we need more workouts like yours on RUclips. It’s so much more fun and encouraging to practice along with someone. Almost no one else does them. Please consider doing a:
-Full Rhythm Workout
-Vibrato Workout
-Chords Workout
-Hybrid Picking Workout
-8 Finger Tapping Workout
-Slapping Workout
-Harmonics Workout
-Muting Workout
I would happily add all of these to my practice routine, and I’m sure they would be very helpful to a lot of people. Keep shredding, you’re the best teacher on RUclips when it comes to anything technique-related!
Also one to keep your fingers as close to the fretboard as possible if you don’t have one already
@@Johnnysmithy24 afaik there are already some nice workouts
- staying close to the fret board with the left hand -> “Economy in motion”
- chord theory (afaik plenty of them, I created a playlist for that based on Bernth’s videos ruclips.net/p/PLInB9bZfaMEhFgPOdjG6CuNX-nsyJ6d3W)
Regarding the rest of your list: 🤝
These are all on his patreon bud. Sub to that and you’ll have more vids than you could ever use
@@sethburkhart2415 Ohhh

"Using your arm like this, a stiff full arm motion" and grins as the camera cuts away ;)
Saw it and went straight to the comments to see if anyone noticed
road to 69 likes bro
He is a guitarist. He is used to that motion too.
I also skipped the guitar nonsense and went straight ahead to practice my stiff full arm motion.
In a nutshell don’t practice scale while watching porn.
I've been putting in the practice for the last four days and it's awesome to be reminded of what it was like when I first started playing guitar nearly two decades ago: practice pays off and you can see the results. I was getting stuck at 100 BPM a few days ago but now I'm pretty comfortable at 120. Awesome videos.
BERNTH, my man. I can’t thank you enough. After 13 years of playing guitar with plenty feelings of stagnation, I was able to reach level 11 after practicing for half an hour! That’s way better than I thought I’d ever do. Whatever blockage I’ve had all these years has finally been broken. Thanks to you, I have hope again, and the world seems a lot brighter. Much love!
Awesome video man! My guitar doesn't have a 22nd fret so I just moved it down to the 12th fret. Let's rock!
I’ll start 50bpm and I’ll record myself and maybe after months I’ll make a nice video 🤘🏼❤️.
You’re awesome thank you for all these awesome videos.
How did it go? Did you make the video?
Playing along a little over 80
Playing on my own I’ve gotten up around 110
The trickiest part for me is the middle finger positioning definitely not something I’m used to but I can see how it all flows together
Still struggling with Levels 1 and 2, but also for total guitar noobs like me it is a lot of fun.
Isolating the hands (picking transitions only playing dead notes or just trying to hit the frets with the other hand only) along with this video is a great beginner workout, too.
Thanks Bernth !!
Day 1: started with 35 bpm. I can really feel the strain on both the hands and am trying play with synchronization of both hands.
Day 2: did it on 45 bpm. I am feeling more comfortable with the workout.
That's fun. I'm no shredder (yet), so I had to work my way up from 40 bpm with a metronome until I could play along with the first round. 60 defeated me instantly! 😅 Still, I love that this is a musical workout and not just a chromatic exercise. and I'll try again tomorrow morning.
I'm consistently on 60 bpm now. 70 works sometimes, but sometimes I'm dropping out from the backing track as well. What I'm noticing is that 50 bpm is now far more clear and precise as well.
Stably at 70, bit wobbly at 80. It works, I'm getting better!
Still stuck at 80, but I think my left hand / right hand synchronisation is getting better. I'll keep doing this for a while.
Keep at dude you will get there
@@symphonicdualityband Thanks man. I hadn't done the workout in a while, but today I passed 80 pretty stably and could play along at 90 for a bit. I think it's really a good exercise.
Hey guys, took me more than 30 days to come to clear 200bpm, somehow everyday feels much more "safer" and hitting those fast notes in correct time with metronome click is so good and satisfying after all of practice its like great reward!

Day 17: back at 140
Day 1: Problems memorizing patterns.... 20 min practice, I finally passed through level 1(50 bpm). Decided to practice 20 min more. The wrist of the fretting hand hurts a bit, probably because I'm not used to it. Made it to 90 BMP without a mistake. Had a quick look and 100, seems easy, but enough for today. I think I should focus on my pinky and just generally minimize movement.
Day 2: I had a few mistakes on 50 bpm, then it went good till 100 BMP, I couldn't stay in sync with the video so I closed it and started to play with a metronome. Passed 100 bpm but was not very consistent at it. I need to be more precise.
Where’s day 3
November 17th
Stuck at 130 for a week
Anyone got any tips on how to break a speed barrier? It’d be much appreciated!
And as always thank you Bernth for another amazing workout video!
I started today to practice with this video, I'm at level 4 today in 1 month I will say my progress.
How's it going now?
He died.

Hahaha trying not to smirk after showing the arm movement for the "picking technique". 😅 sometimes it's hard not to be childish
Relly best excercise. One more subscriber from India
Hi Bernth, you've over 100+ technique lessons in your channel. Well, thanks a lot for that. But do you think you could maybe help out beginners to gradually learn from those lessons - basically am asking in which order should a beginner follow those lessons.
This would be a great start for beginners. Remember….go slow and do a lot of rewinding to get it down before you move on. It’s hard but with patience and perseverance you will get it. Best of luck on this guitar journey.
@@marinemomma62 Thanks man, would remember your advice :)
Check out Ben Eler! He has an awesome series of videos called “this is why you suck at guitar” that goes over a bunch of techniques! Rock on brother!🤟🤟
@@thomasgriswold6341 his power chords video helped me so much when starting out!
his patreon 30 day courses do a great job going from beginner gradually up for only a little bit of money
September - 50bpm is tough
October - 60bpm is coming, 70 impossible
November - 60bpm is good. 70 is coming.
This is great! Thank you.
I've been playing guitar since 2015 and started playing seriously for less than a year and your workouts and tips have helped me a lot
Sep 2 - Took a while to learn the lick in the first place, but then felt more comfortable at 60bpm than 50. 70 was almost doable but not cleanly. 80 was not really possible.
Sep 3 - Disappointed by a lack of progress, still kind of stuck at 70.
Sep 4 - Still not great progress, but practiced the lick a lot without and with playing along. Ended up almost clean at 70 but not completely satisfied. 80 was possible to attempt but very sloppy.
Sep 5 - Not mcuh progress, 70 almost, 80 bpm a bit better but not really clean.
Sep 8 - Coming back to it, it's suddenly much better. 70 pretty clean and 80 almost clean, needs a little work, still happy with some progress. 90 quite a struggle, 100 impossible.
Not only are you a beast when it comes to playing the guitar, your teaching techniques are insanely spot on. After playing for almost 10 years without using my little finger on my fretting hand (injury related, and never really got confident enough to use it!), it took no more than 5 days to play your workout at 100 bpm ... have a long way to go, and am nowhere as smooth as you are, but I feel super confident that i'll make good progress. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
i wanna say the melody is full of emotions !!! amaiznggggggg
Hi Bernth, i'm from Ukraine, now i work in the rear, and guitar become a way to distract from the war. Wanted to learn something like a shred and accidentally got on your channel and very like it, you show cool things in good way, thank you! And i was also surprised by your video about the concert in support of Ukraine. Thank you and all people for support, it is really important to feel that we are not alone
This greatly improved my technique. Thanks BERNTH

@@wylde678 9rd. Pronounced "nerd".
@@wylde678😂 That is some gold right there
Holyyy shit! I just watched the video and realized how fricking fast 180bpm is! Props to you my man, I take my imaginary hat of and bow to you😂
June 28th 2023- started workout. had to start on 0.5x speed on the first exercise then 0.75x, memorizing the notes as to not rely on the tab. After an hour of practice, I was finally able to play the first round. Been playing guitar since COVID
What I am missing in the “spider exercise” is stretching to be better prepared for e.g. 3NPS runs.
We’ll see how far I can get here 😈
I like doing broken third or sequence exercises of regular 3NPS scales at the 12th fret using my first three fingers and not the pinky. Really forces the 2nd and 3rd finger to stretch apart.
Also that fast "tapping like" riff in the tornado of souls solo really helped me stretch a lot. I worked on it for months and was ready to give up in the first 4 weeks :D
@@Amber57499 but u did not give up: awesome 👌
One of the best electric guitarist 🙏
A few things I'd like to point out with this exercise - which no-one else seems to have mentioned - the degree of difficulty also depends on what kind of guitar you have. I have a 1960's Strat - so obviously I can't do this exercise on that - I have a Les Paul - which again makes it pretty hard to get to the 22 fret easily ( at least with my small hands!) - I dug out a modern LTD guitar which I rarely used and then hey presto the exercise was much easier. From that I take it that a "shredder" type guitar is much more suitable for these exercises?
i've never used this portion of the neck so much! i got up to 90 bpm before my left hand technique (especially my pinky and ring fingers) started to fall apart. my picking technique is pretty good, but my fretting hand is still having some issues. i hope to get up to 150 before the month is over!
5 days later im still the same but i havent practiceed this week very much, but when i do i make a conscious effort to play as clean as possible. still at 90 but its much more fluent
@@ml8991 how is it going ?
Clean 200 bpm today for the first time 😎 Thanks Bernth👍
From Indonesia, thanks alot for sharing wiht us
1:40 I can do this at 500 BPM!
This man just discovered fire
Great practice workout, Ive noticed that I continually seem to revert to hammer ons and pull offs, with this exercise focusing on correct fingers picking timing etc I am going to commit this to my daily warmup practice routine, NICE ONE
After a few days, my plateau around 90bpm has me practicing this all over the fretboard. I've learned it by ear and this workout has expanded my improvisation skills so much already. Thanks for sharing!
That is a very good idea. Thank you very much.
Just a tip... if you put the TABS at the top, the pause/play/time bar/settings/etc. won't obscure the TABS!
Доброе утро, Уважаемый! Благодарю за Ваши упражнения и доброту! Вы помогаете людям быстро развиться в этом деле. Благодарствую за Ваш труд!
согласен, отличный канал!
Sounds awesome. Im gonna have to start working on this.
My girl is gonna be all over me after I learn this.
8:25 “…alright, you did it! Congratulations!”
I did! I totally watched the shit out of this exercise!
day 1 (1/23/2023) can play 50 bpm pretty solid 60 bpm meh
day 3 (1/25/2023) can play 70 well 80 meh
day 4 (1/27/2023) can play 80 better
Day 4: finally i'm able to play along lvl 1 at 0.75 speed xD
The reward was watching Bernth in slowmo saying "Enough Talk". Totally worth it 🤣
keep at it brother!
Enough talk. Now shred!!
Can you do a video on how to get your pinky and ringfinger under control
My pinky is always sorta cramped and my Ring finger won't stretch to the side
Me yesterday night:
“Ah, this can’t be that hard, I’ll try it tomorrow”.
Me today:
Struggles to even do the stretches. Hahaha
Edit: I needed to warm up first.
Now I’m doing it lvl 1 🤘
I simply can’t play this without pain in my hands with classical technique.
I might be in trouble as I get faster, but I’m much more comfortable with my hands slightly slanted.
I have the same problem with the hand position. It just means our left hand is weak. Keep practicing it with consistency and it'll get there before you know it.
Just got myself jazz III picks. Starting this exercise today. Can't wait to see the difference in 2-3 months.. I hope my neighbor's will understand...lmao

Bernth is THE guy!
Started: APRIL 7TH 2024
day 1 : Getting used to the pattern can do 50 BPM but not perfectly
day 2 : Close to perfecting 50 BPM , attempting 60 whilst polishing playstyle
day 3 : Perfected 50 BPM , comfortable at 60 BPM pushing for 70
Do you have anything a little faster?
I couldn't stop falling to sleep… 😁
Thank you, for sharing!
July 1st → learning the pattern
July 2nd 80 Bpm
July 3rd → 90 Bpm
July 4th → 90 bpm
July 8th → 90 bpm problem left hand can't follow the speed
July 12th → 110 Bpm
July 16th → 120 bpm
July 18th → 120 bpm
July 30th → 120 bpm
I got to 60 after about 30 mins of learning the riff. I have never played lead just rhythm and haven't picked up the guitar since covid.
Only made it to 80 BPM the first day, but I'll kick it's ass tomorrow!
Grrr8 workout...!!! Thanks🤘💯💓
Day 1: 100 BPM, 110 is where it gets sloppy.
Day 2: Wasn't home so couldn't play.
Day 3: Getting way cleaner on 110 but cleanest is 100 Bpm atm.
Day 4: The same.
Day 5: 100 is mastered and 110 bpm is also almost mastered, can almost do 120 but it's sloppy
The previous days was somewhere before December 13th in 2023 and it's now like 2 months after and I haven't done this workout that much but tried now after about 2 months and I've pretty much mastered 150 bpm, can almost do 160.
Your videos help so much bro
12/9/22 day one can get up[ to 170 but have occasional mistakes, can do 150 clean. gotta say I really like the workout/warmup vidoes youve got
10.07 day 1 70 BPM
11.07 day 2 80 BPM
13.07 day 3 100 BPM
this is harder than expected
for anyone discouraged they are getting stuck at a certain speed, i was at 90bpm for well over a month (almost daily practice) and finally made it to 100 today!
Just started the workout today
March 14- 60 bpm struggling
March 15-70 bpm pretty ok, 80 on the way
I will try this tomorrow
Love this 👍🎸🎸🎸

AAAAAAAAAAH. Stiff Full arm motion. So Good!!! Du Witzbold, du!
Where's the 300bpm version? I'm disappointed.
j/k, great content, thanks so much!
Don't know if i do something wrong, but i always do these videos from the slowest to fastest tempo every time when i practice. But recently i got interrupted and i had to put down my guitar for like 5 minutes, and when i returned to continue a left of around 100 bpm, as i start from this tempo i feel more relaxed and play more efficiently, not getting tired.
Slower tempo is actually where you train your fretting hand. You need to keep your fingers in stretch for much longer while at higher tempos they just fly across the frets and it is your picking hand that gets more work-out. If your fingering is sloppy, focus on lower tempos, analyze, train there. If your alternate picking needs work, the high tempos will show you how to move, so you can use the same short motions when playing slower.
Helo Bernth. Thank you for great exercise. At 1st try I failed on 13th level.
that hi-hat is the key

I just came bck yo this after about a month of practice and before i couldnt play 50 bpm now i can play 80 bpm. Lets gooo!
just went from 100 to 140 bpm in 3 days this sounds so good when played fast and my alternate picking has improved a lot thanks! cheers :)

"Alright, you did it!"
I did not.
great wortkout.
I technically can't do this, cuz I have 60 bucks clasical guitar and I'm too poor to afford acoustic or bass.. But still gonna try on lower tones , aka frets..

Im on fire getting this challenge!
Day 2: lvl 7 got cleaner
Day 3: lvl 9 clean, lvl 10-11 unclean 🤯
Super maestro
Lol i like that he still uses a vibrato on the final notes
Day 1 of trying this out, stuck at around 90-100 bpm
My fingers somehow get tied in a knot every time I try to play something else than power chords in drop D, so I figured this would help. Wish me luck.
Day 1: learned the first 2 bars at 25 bpm
Day 2: completed level one at half speed
Day 3: completed level one at 75% speed
Day 4: completed level one at 75% speed
Day 5: first played level one at 75% speed, then tried to play it full speed.
Day 6: went back to level one at 75% speed, paid extra attention to my thumb placement. Also having a bit of trouble reaching the 22nd fret with my pinky.
Day 7: first played level one at 75% speed, then tried level two at 75%.
Day 8: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Somehow forgot everything I've learned in the beginning.
Day 9: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Went a lot better than yesterday.
Day 10: first played level one at 75% speed, then played level two at 75%. Mainly focused on other things like rhythm today
Day 11: Finally got up to full speed on level one.
Day 12: level one at full speed again
Day 13: level one at full speed again, tried level two.
Day 14: Couldn't practice due to my birthday
Day 15: Got to level two again
Day 16: level two, tried level three for the bantz but failed
Day 17: Couldn't get passed 50 bpm today, despite grinding for 20 minutes
Day 18: While I was struggling again with level two, it went a lot better than yesterday
Day 19: Level two, no problems again
Day 20: Still level two, probably gonna be a while before I get to level 3
Day 21: Still at 60bpm
Day 22: ya guessed it, 60bpm
Day 23: Struggled with 60 bpm again, not feeling well today as well
Day 24: 60 bpm again
Day 25: Stayed in bed due to sickness
Day 26: New guitar finally arrived, I still have to get used to it. But for this day I got to 50 bpm.
Day 27: Getting used to it. Although, holy mother of fuck, I can't get my fingers to synchronize. It has never been this bad.
Day 28: Finally back at 60 bpm.
Day 29: Felt sick again.
Day 30: got to 70 bpm.
Day 31: 70 bpm, but not as good as yesterday
Day 32: Getting better at 70 bpm, making less errors
Day 33 to 35: Was too busy to practice
