Dude you need to do a video on the importance of stretching. Beginner guitarist are not adapted ergonomically to the guitar. It takes years for your wrist, muscles and tendons to become adapted to the guitar. This is not automatic and when a beginner starts to improve it is partly because of this and not so much in just advancing in skill. A new guitarist should never ever pick up a guitar without first stretching and some may need to stretch additionally during a practice session. Always stretch first, you will be much more nimble and reduce the chance of injury. You can damage and tear your tendons especially fast lead guitar techniques. Lots of ways to stretch the hands, wrist and arms. But one important stretch is to use a baton and hold it in hand making a fist around it. Use the other hand to twist the wrist and forearm radially. Do this stretch in both directions. After a while some that experience discomfort reaching certain parts of the neck this will go away. Some of the issues are not skill related they are discomfort and movement restricted issues. Once these issues are alleviated advancing in playing will come much more rapidly. Ive played for over 30 years and broke a finger on my fretting hand. So I built a left hand guitar and am starting all over from square one. This is the first thing I realized in this journey. Ever pick up a left hand guitar? Feels weird and awkward right? This is why you are not adapted for left hand and when you started right hand it more than likely felt exactly the same however, you did not know any better then. All guitar teachers need to get left hand guitars and teach lessons to themselves. 10 years of playing you have long forgotten what it was like to be a beginner guitarist. Other than that great videos, you are one of if not the best on youtube. Cheers!
Hi... bro.. Pleace react to / " Alip ba ta " fingerstyle guitar skill / Sweet Child O Mine cover by Alip ba ta / One Man Band guitar / please..＼(^o^)／＼(^o^)／
@@Bernthguitar Agreed, you're channel is amazing and after playing for 20+ years and having a break You have inspired me to play again and I am loving it
@@Bernthguitar the exercise at 5 minutes into the video. The B string keeps ringing because the ring finger touches it slightly so as to a small pull off. Have tried to keep the fingers precise but am not able to figure out how to mute that string
I've been a Marketing Director for one of the largest companies in North America for 20 years, and I can tell you without a doubt that the most neglected market are those people who are in between the beginner level and mid-intermediate level. Most tutorials are either for absolute beginners or for advanced players, which leaves out those in between. Your tutorials are actually wonderful for this neglected segment - you're helping the "in-between" players advance to another level and that's great!
While doing the 30 day alternate picking challenge you have managed to correct my picking technique which i didnt realise was that bad hahah. Now playing from the wrist instead of the arm. Love the content. Insel
There is something about you that is sadly missing in many amazing musicians: you have a VERY humble attitude that gives the feel that as you are teaching people,,, you are growing with them and I think that is VERY important to the journey of your students and contributes so greatly to their growth and success and I think that’s one the most important attributes of a teacher😎😉🤜🤛🤘
you mean unlike ol Yngwies instructional video? "Lesson one arpeggios" plays a blindingly fast solo that covers the entire neck at 300 BPM "Now I will play it slower so you can see how to do it" * plays it at 299.75 bpm "Just do that and youll play like me in no time.... now on to Lesson 2...." lol
I'm subscribed! .. and a Patreon !! .. because you are worth it Bernth! .. thanks so much for your AWESOME material. Now that I broke the sound barrier with one of your other exercises, it looks as though I need to back off and stay under the sound barrier at about 120bpm .. thanks man .. my wife will probably appreciate that too!
Bernth your videos are awesome and I am no longer an arm picker thanks to these very simple but still fun exercises. I've become a completely different guitar player in 5 weeks just unlocking that wrist.
Bernth, thank you for your videos. I started to play guitar from 13 years, but didn't feel any real progress in technic and speed, but after 2 days of watching your channel my playing became much more better! You're the great teacher! I watch you from Saint-Petersburg, and my english soooo bad ;(( but you explain very comprehensible😘🧠💫 shredding is my big dream, and with your lessons I know that it will be realised soon
Bro! Ur awesome and amazing and the way you help others it's mindblowing. U will achieve much more than everyone else in the history of music. This is my wish 4u as well as the Truth.
It's like I've been on an insel of ignorance all these years, since every week you discover things I didn't know I was guilty of until you pointed them out. :'D Definitely going to add these to my daily routine. \m/ ( Haha, that outro! )
i played with a horrible picking hand for years until i really watched closely how my fav guitar gods picked. Your lesson def opened my eyes further to how bad i still play lol. Thanks!
I have gotten more value out of your videos in the nearly 40 years I have been playing than any other source. You're an exceptional teacher -- and your mastery of guitar speaks for itself. Many thanks :)
Really love your videos Bernth... I'm an older player, and should really be much better than I am - you're really helping me to identify where I've been going wrong for so many years! Thanks mate, legend... Greetings from Australia, we love our guitars down here as well... 😁
Again thank you Bernth...nowadays when you look talents in RUclips and started to feel sucked at playing, you make me wanna go practice and practice more with your great contents.
The tempo portion reminds me of that scene in metalocalypse when they tried to learn blues but couldn't slow down, so they had to hang cinder blocks on their hands lol
Done. Part of my journey since today. I always love your vídeos🤗, even when the exercises becomes a little bit hardlely...Harley...Harry..Henry.. challenging..jejeje. Big hug for you, you're great 😄
No thank you 🙏. I swear I feel like you made this video just for me and I can’t express my thanks as soon as I get a amp and an actual electric guitar my real guitar journey will begin, and will be even that much more committed. I been practicing everyday for 10-15 minutes, along entertaining my daughters and being a father. But man this channel is fire so thank you again!
Hey man, thank you so much for everything. This entire gig you have must be an immense amount of work. As a striving guitarist, I am exceedingly grateful.
Every video you do is awesome! Those exercizes are really helpful and I love that they are just as challenging to kick me into my zone of proximal learning every time but allow visible progress soon. That's very motivating for learners! Love that you include outtakes now too. (And now I'll go back to my little ISLAND and do my homework for your shred guitar course now. Still got to master those spiced up chords. 😂🤘)
Thanks BERNTH - Awesome lesson once again! Just what I needed to practice alone on my INSEL! Now, I'd love to hear you say 'Squirrel'. Three times fast. ; )
This vídeo really describes me Bernith, begininng my guitar jorney! Everyday I found myself stuck at those INSEL of tecnique mistakes! Furtunatly I wake up for it and I agree with all you told here 🤘🤘🤘
Bernth thank you so much to care about young beginners like me.. There is si much exercices in this channel I dont know where to begin. I home it will bring me one day to tour level. M'y goal is to make of it my work.
@@Bernthguitar have a nice day and continue like this that's sick bro. Even if I cant do Everything I look anyway with plaisir and Dreams for future. Waiting forward for the next others. 💪🏻🖤
Have you tried to play the song really slowly? When I say slow, I mean like 1 beat per 3 seconds. It doesn't have to be fast 1st try. Hope this helps, good luck
Great stuff!!! I sometimes feel like I'm on an insel all by myself when I get into the patreon VIP group on Facebook. I need to get to work. everyone is sooo good lol Seriously so much info in there to learn from and it is easy to understand. Files for guitar pro as well..loving it!! I still suck, but its fun learning lol
Thank you so much Bernth for these extremely valuable lessons.. I started to play your lessons and seeing my improvement a lot.. Thanks again..from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🙏
I'm way older than you. Yet I'm always open to change from other masters. I'm fighting my drum kit now. Yeah I thought that would be easy. Well NOOOOOOOOOOO! I won't give up on the drums but I must continue my guitar journey. I'm working on a lot of things. I'll let ya know if I need help!
For the past year or so I have been picking much more with my wrist than with my fingers extending and retracting (scalpel picking?). However, I'm noticing more scraping noise from my wrist and thumb-pad against the bass strings. What can I do? Insel!
Your videos are class bro 👍🏻 Is the content that comes with subscribing to your Patreon available on mobile? I don't have a PC atm. Also, I'll be getting an 8 string in the next couple of days. Will you be doing any videos in relation to 8 string guitars? Cheers man🤘🤘🤘
These are fantastic exercises. Even as an intermediate player it's an incredible warmup. Will definitely try playing these exercises for 5-10mins before my regular practice begins!!
This looks awesome, but I've only been playing 10 days and started with a pick 5 days ago. Can I work right hand only for now, and ..... what did you do????
Really like #2, thought it would get boring but it's actually kind of addictive. Thanks. SUBSCRIBE PEOPLE you must feed the golden goose if you want eggs!
Hi from Italy thanks for you lesson you are very clear in your theaching ....but i should have a book or something you advice me ???Sorry for my english ..thanks bye 🤟🤟😅
I love your videos, and maybe you have done this but I haven't seen it yet. Or maybe it's on your Patreon idk. But when I think of speed there is actual shear force speed then speed thru precision and tricks. You do Alot of both but the exercises always seem to be just single note slowed down versions of speed thru shear force or actual speed. I do Alot of weird stuff with offset picking and hammerons/pulloffs that give many extra notes that aren't directly picked or have non picked hammers and pulloffs right before and after. Can you do some slow ones like that?
Should I buy Ibanez Prestige AZ2402 or Ibanez Prestige RG 5320 cosmic shadow...I am saving for one of it and helix lt ... Please suggest me cause I am just a intermediate guitarist and I love playing progressive metal music mostly Jhon Petrucci stuff and I want to buy a one time investment guitar for long term use ....I cannot own multiple guitar....and thank you for improving my Guitar skills via your amazing videos ☺️...I have improved a lot ....thank you...
I really fell in love with the AZ, used to play RGs before that - it would be great to try it first, it's mainly about your preference of thick or thin necks I think :)
In my place there is no guitar test ride 😂..if u want a good guitar you have to order it ...and after it arrives to the dealership and if u do not like it then there is no chance for changing to other one 😑
Great video! I personally am trying to unlearn my horrible straight arm right hand with my lesson teacher, and these exercises really helped make a connection for me.

Between this, the 30 day shred and sweep picking challenges, I now have a pretty full 1 hour daily routine for my guitar Insel!

I'm still chasing my dream to visit this store
insel is really important
My favorite your song this is Dopamine i able to listen even 10 x
For the past year or so I have been picking much more with my wrist than with my fingers extending and retracting (scalpel picking?). However, I'm noticing more scraping noise from my wrist and thumb-pad against the bass strings. What can I do?
Insel!
Haha I just noticed you played guitar for the David Hasselhoff metal song...priceless 😂
I can't seem to wrap my head around the first exercise with the pm going on. This pm on, off, on, off is killing me :D
Hello. Do you use dipping your pick into the strings for more dynamics like Paul Gilbert?
Insel!
Great stuff! We can practice for years and still benefit from these lessons. And it reminds me that I need to keep practicing Cowboys From Hell.
Your videos are class bro 👍🏻
Is the content that comes with subscribing to your Patreon available on mobile? I don't have a PC atm.
Also, I'll be getting an 8 string in the next couple of days. Will you be doing any videos in relation to 8 string guitars?
Cheers man🤘🤘🤘
These are fantastic exercises. Even as an intermediate player it's an incredible warmup. Will definitely try playing these exercises for 5-10mins before my regular practice begins!!
Funk & Metal...I think I like it. Like chocolate and peanut butter. 2 great tastes that taste great together on my Insel.
Jedes mal wenn du ein Video hochlädst hab ich richtig Lust zu üben, danke dafür Bernth! 🙏✌
In your second exercise ,you hammer on the the top sting right ?
I Will Do that thx
Watching far away from northeast India 🇮🇳🇮🇳👍👍🙌👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Superbe guitariste dommage qu'il n'y a pas de sous-titre en français

Hey bernth just subscribed,this video its a struggle for me.ive been play electric since 2007 i need help
Great video! I personally am trying to unlearn my horrible straight arm right hand with my lesson teacher, and these exercises really helped make a connection for me.
Hahaha, "Insel, Iiinsl" - that's the naked guy from the Donauinsel-Alltagsgeschichten, right?
Exactly!! :)
A song which has a good alternate picking part is Frakctured by King Crimson.
do you use active pickups ? they give a waaay hotter tone BTW ..well I think ...
blooper joke - when you master the guitar too much and twist in tounge.
Thanks Insel bernth, good practices!
