Three years sober? Congratulations! It isn't easy... I'm watching this with a hangover and craving hair of the dog. I really need to quit this shit. Love the acoustic shred!🤘🤘🤘
The difference between being a professional and thinking you're a professional right there. Even if you're sober for the show and get hammered afterwards, that shit eventually catches up with you.
@@bestiaonthedrums Well one beer to wind down after the gig won't do any harm at all. Drinking until you can't stand anymore is a different story. Doing that after every gig will eventually catch up with you.
This guy just provided a portal for these pop fans into metal music. I imagine that people who were wowed will probably look in and a handful will likely convert. Love your work dude what a champ
It was also a European festival, Europeans are already more musically open minded, even pop fans. Do that in the US and they won't give much of a shit because "guitar is for old people" or something like that.
Dude I was there and told my friends " wait is that bernth? Holy shit guys it's bernth! " They were like "no way man, this is seiler und speer why would he...omg"then they looked closer and saw u, awesome concert man!
I agree.... especially for someone like me whose guitar playing abilities aren't insane The trade off is that you won't be pushed to your extreme as you would in a metal band
@@ExposingEvil_ Err, pop guitarists are some of the most talented. Because those guitarists are usually session guitarists, which need to be able to play everything and anything, not just metal.
For those who want to know the song at 2:56, it's Halo by Boston Manor. Spent an unnecessary amount of time going through the concert schedule and skimming the performances, but it was worth it.
Having performed once on stage in front of maybe 20-30 people, I somehow get the feeling that not much changes with larger venues, just the scale of everything.
It grows to about to a thousand, with "diminishing returns" so to speak. From 5 to 50 is huge, from 50 to 100 is big but not that different from 150, which is not that different from 300 and so on.. From thousand to 15k, no real change. To be fair i have not performed for that many people, used to be a stagehand. My ass has been seen by 1.2 million, over fifth of the country.. because there comes a moment when you are too much at home on stage and kind of forget that people are watching...
@@squidcaps4308 Makes sense! The more people that are there, the more it'll require to see a noticeable difference. I actually had more stage anxiety with a small crowd than anywhere else.
Apparently the main thing that changes, is when when you get to 50,000+ the major difference is that everyone breathing in and out simultaneously as they sing is like it’s blowing a Gail. It generates its own winds. That according to the guys in the police (band). Quite possibly only true in a stadium. I have a mate who played pro rugby league and he reckons at Suncorp stadium in Brisbane during state of origin the 52,500 seat stadium that goes up not out he claims the sound becomes physical. He says it’s different when he played the grand final at Homebush (the Olympics stadium in Sydney) where 100,000 were there but because the stadium goes up and out it’s not as daunting.
@@a.g.4843 i strongly disagree. between playing for 50 people vs 500, it is a massive difference. the stagehand earlier had a great point but as a performer you don’t get necessarily get the same luxury; the audience is there to see you, and in my experience you tend to notice each and every one throughout your set-or none at all. depends on the person
the biggest difference i’ve found is the stage size. the bigger the crowd the bigger stage you have to use, and that shift adds more pressure. what i find interesting is like the stagehand said, once you get really really big it’s a diminishing return. once stage sizes are always big whether the crowd is 20 thousand or 2 million, it has less of an effect
Dude you are really so inspiring. One Day i hope to be nearly as close to a stage you played this day ! Thanks for all you are doing and please share more of this videos with us. You are awesome !
When this guy talks about being nervous it just goes to show how truly nerve-racking it is being up there. He is a god level guitar player and still has to practice like mad to get things down. Hats off to you man!!! Love your music and playing
Best part of the video is hearing that you've been sober! As a touring musician, I know how hard it can be to stay dry. Especially during the festival. Inspirational. Good on you!
My buddy saw the show and said to me he was quite surprised that Seiler und Speer was rocking so much that day (he didn't expect very much cause he's more a metalhead like me) , now I know the reason. Nice one my friend
I didn't understand your ritual at first for calming the nerves as you always come across as so calm and precise. But watching you play that solo, on the stage extension out into the audience, with 100,000 pairs of eyes focused on you - WOW. You killed it though - perfect rock-god pose and all. Thanks for the glimpse into the backstage of a festival as a musician. Also love that you got to chat with Jinjer's guitarist.
I use to be a professional musician (guitar) , I've been playing in a band for 15 years going on tour and all and I just want to say that it isn't always easy and as fun as it seems, the energy of a crowd is what keeps you going but it's really hard to play almost every night in a different city, always eating crap, drinking and sleeping 4-5 hours a night, after a while it gets to you , it's even harder when you have a family, I felt I needed to do something else with my life the day I realized I was doing cocaine before every gig we had.It's been 15 years since I left my band I never used drugs since and I feel so much better physically and mentally.
Love that you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone while still making the performance all about what you do! Maybe you’ve even turned some pop fans on to metal! 🤘🏻😎
Dude! You've done it! YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR!!! God bless ya man! You can tell that you put a lot of time and effort into your music. You are actually more than just a a Rockstar... You are truly a MUSICIAN! And you seem like you didn't let it go to your head... You seem really down to earth and you seem like a good guy. I was in the music biz for years and although I never made it to the top, I was friends with all of my childhood HEROES that I grew up idolizing! I was in the "in crowd". You know... Opening act for all the greats 👍. It was a wild ride my friend. It's good to see a guy that "made it", but is still grounded. Don't ever lose that my friend... Keep the faith and keep fighting the good Rock-N-Roll fight! God bless and take care...
Pop music and shredding get along well together. Let's face it, VH was basically a pop group with shredding, I nerver really considered them a rock band. Congratulations on playing for such a big audience man!
Bernth, you're an incredible guitarist, one of the best I've ever seen, excellent solos, great shredding 🤘 I'm a metal guitarist too, you're a true guitar God 🤘 Rock on brother 🤘 metal for life 🤘
Love it, that looked like so much fun! I remember playing my semi-acoustic guitar in a local church for some kids...then stepped on the metal effects pedal for one of the songs-their facial expressions were priceless! 🤟
Funny that I am not a a shredder and not into heavy metal at all, but I learn more from your lessons and find your practice exercises give me a lot better results than any of the other courses I use.
You did every guitar player, and metalheads proud, keep going on this incredible journey called music, wishing u all the best for the future, well done!!!
I've been rabbit 🕳️ ing RUclips guitar for four years now, and my pals Bill and Ted agree, that you sir, are by far, the most triumphant, talented, articulate (in theory as well as speech) player on the tube, which means you've put in so much practice and dedication that it's unreal and I would like to personally thank you for that shit. Also, your aura and the way you were obviously raised due to your personality screams "Gentleman," and gives me the vibe that you would give your last five bucks to someone else if the situation presented itself. Either that or I'm wrong, and you cuss up a storm, watch nothing but horror films, hunt and murder people loololol
Wow, how does it feel to perform in front of an ocean crowd? Congratulations, great musician, great person. I hope one day to listen to a live G3: Satriani, Vai, Bernth (or maybe you have already done so and I don't know?) 😉
Awesome work on your 3 years brother. One day at a time. That was a very delicious acoustic solo. It shows not only your technical talent but also you have soul. Thank you for sharing
Well done on three years sober! That's not easy. It's super cool that you brought some shred to the pop crowd, and thanks for the literal peek behind the curtain at the the way pro's do things backstage
You're such a beast bro... definitely one of my favorites... from raw and honed skillz...to just an awesome attitude... and a great teacher at more than just the axe...
its rad to hear your sober..im currently living in a sober living got 125 days clean and 2 months ago i decided imma finally learn the guitar and also use it as a way to deo what ive always wanted...i appreciate you and your channel and love learning from you cheers brother
damn, this has got to be your best video yet! seeing how relaxed your left hand was from behind was really interesting. I know you talk about it a lot but it's impressive just HOW relaxed your hand is while you shred
Hats off brother I miss looking out at an ocean of people having a blast. As a man that is newly sober I can tell you man the pill of light was the scariest and hardest one I've ever swallowed. I just want to say thank you for everything you do. I've been playing guitar and writing my own music since 2002 and I, again am thankful for artists like you. Also uncle Ben. He's a great dude as well. Shred forever my friend. It is the people like you, myself, and every interesting, intelligent, and creative person that will make a mark in history. God bless keep crushing it brother
Roman, Eugene, Vlad and Tati (Jinjer) are some awesome and humble people to hang out with, great to see your adventures and congrats on sharing stages with some amazing acts!
This dude has become one of my inspiration in playing guitar. His exercises tutorial helps me a lot. I'm not a fast player yet but I can say I improved a lot. Thanks to his youtube tutorials 💪❤
Hello Bernth ;) I see you on stage absolutely amazing performance. Great Job man. All The Offspring members hit the wall with heads when they hear what do you do with guitar. Greetings from Poland. Love those live performance. Please join to PolandRockFestival next year ;)
You truly are an inspiration for the aspiring younger musicians! Thank you for sharing this! You’re full of chops and wisdom. You should have way, way more subscribers!
Nice! One of these days I was visiting Vienna and I saw Bernth walking around a weekend market very casual you would barely notice if not by the hair and tattoos. It is nice seeing you going around the world playing music and still being able to enjoy simple things in life
Hey Bro. other YT guitarist cannot even play live, I am so happy played with th cowd Godbless you are truely amazing Guitarist and your humility is so inspiring as well Godbless Sir Bernth😊❤ You inspire me to play guitar despite my injuries like arthritis😊
Your are such an inspiration! Everytime I watch your videos like this I wonder what's it's like to achieve your level. I had a heavy opiate addiction that hindered my career very early and I was even in a promising band. My addiction took me to dark dark places and eventually I had stopped playing all together for many years. I'm forty now with over 4yrs sober....so congrats to you my friend, one day at a time......and I have been playing ass off. I've gotten pretty decent considering I just started playing after like a 20 yr hiatus, but it kills me to think I could be where I r now. The dream in me never dies and honestly at times it drives me insane. Part of me wants to just forget the idea of ever even being in just a gigging or good sounding band and not just a level like yours. But the other does not. The thought of giving up something I love so much and one of the only thing I'm actually good...or so I'm told.... And tossing a dream down the tubes is just too depressing....and trust me I already suffer from a shit load of PTSD and depression lol. It was not my intention to write this next part of this comment, but I'm just going to go ahead and do it. If you could write me personally, I'll give you my email, and if you just give me any personal thoughts or insights or experiences that you've experienced getting clean, or just playing, or just experiences of your life in retrospecting comparison to mine, it would be most respected, and your words would mean so much. If not I understand you're a one busy brother and I get it. My email is fireinthesky500@gmail.com. thanks for all you do brother and here's to your continued success, cherish in California! Andy.
Hi Bernth, sorry for this little "out of topic" thing but: for who is interested I knocked my head a bit to find the band at 2:55... reading the headliners of Nova Rock Festival (been gone for a couple of months now, too late to the party), scouting the program for same day of SEILER UND SPEER and metching possible candidates looking at the silhouettes of the band members and... thery are Boston Manor, the song is "Helo". They didn't hit me fatally but those 3 seconds of song are really beautiful and they knocked me out. Sorry for the OT. Cheers
Bro....the screen shot at 8:25 is amazing. It showed you are number 1 with 7,179 patrons as on June 26th, 2022. "Home free" ranked at number 4 on is pulling in $46,000 a month. So for any people watching & thinking about starting a channel just know it's possible and even probable you will succeed once you make the commitment. Way to go Bernth. I am sure you will have millions subs by Jan 1, 2024. I just subscribed, liked the video and commented which the algorithm loves. 😎
...i think, there were enough people which know you and your skills since the last years on you tube, and were not surprised. Rock on, thx from Germany
Man! Congratulations for such achievement. I'd probably be crapping my undies in from of such huge crowd, I swear. You're indeed a pro and that was a trial of fire, bro. Also, great achievement staying sober for 3 years; metal does not necessary mean getting knackered all the time: congrats on that, too, man!
Very nice life you have going on there! Very cool to see from the outside. I’ve played since I was a kid, bar bands as an adult, and now I’m old. It’s been 8years since I’ve played in public. Kinda miss it. Biggest gigs were a couple of hundred people, most were smaller. Thanks for sharing this look at your real “behind the scenes” reality. I was only smart enough to roll like this the last 3-4years of performing. Skipping the drink and drugs can be hard but I think my musicianship improved a lot because of it even as my writing suffered. It did provide some inspiration at times. It seemed to me that once you make this change you must find others with a similar ethic in order to progress and finding those people can be difficult. I respect what you are doing and really enjoy your playing. 👍
This is an awesome look into backstage life. I'm going to steal the BALLOON trick from your TM for future festival/big shows for my camp, as a Prod. Coordinator I appreciate the fact that you highlighted your crew folks in this video as well!
That was soooo cool. Thank you so much for making and sharing this. I loved being able to see everything from a behind the scenes perspective. Plus I love how humble and down to earth you are. Stay fresh!
Vienna will always be a super important City historically for all the amazing musicians that it birthed. The city of Music, indeed. You just know that that during concernt, some kid ended up headbanging while standing on Mozhart's unmarked grave.
Thanks for taking us along with you and for sharing so much of the details in preparation plus your thoughts! Congratulations on 3 years sober, that’s an amazing personal achievement. Doing the work you do is so inspiring!
This is awesome Bernth! I like that you point out how good it feels to be sober and keep performing better and better we're in this for the music! which is what makes us feel great
Thanks so much for sharing this experience. It was so cool watching the behind the scenes of a big event like this. Kudos for the humbleness and great playing! God bless
The wild thing about bernth is he learned the guitar so fucking fast I'f you watch is progress video with in 4 years he was playing as if he was playing for 10 years he is deff a prodigy even if he doesn't think so he is
Love these behind the scenes series you've been doing this year, Bernth! Congrats on your all success - love the lessons and all the jokes throughout your vids!
Bin in der Menge gestanden und dachte mir die ganze Zeit:" Oida Bernth, bitte zags´ eana´ wies´ geht!". Und dann hast du heftigst abgeliefert! Danke Bernth, danke Seiler & Speer für diese tolle Experience!

When you said you were sober and just went to bed. That was the most powerful and meaningful lesson any upcoming musicians should take note of

Wow, really? Sorry but I still think a nice beer after a gig is both refreshing and satisfying, bye.

played that solo on an accoustic??? wow.
I know you said "Pop band" but every snippet I heard sounded fairly heavy! I loved your playing man. SOOO musical and tight.
swedish pop rock is going to be more reminiscent of 80s prog rock like Rainbow (with the other singer that isn't dio)
Props to you for remaining sober in such a tempting environment, I know that’s not easy, keep killing it dude!

Nice! One of these days I was visiting Vienna and I saw Bernth walking around a weekend market very casual you would barely notice if not by the hair and tattoos. It is nice seeing you going around the world playing music and still being able to enjoy simple things in life
Hey Bro. other YT guitarist cannot even play live, I am so happy played with th cowd Godbless you are truely amazing Guitarist and your humility is so inspiring as well Godbless Sir Bernth😊❤ You inspire me to play guitar despite my injuries like arthritis😊
Your are such an inspiration! Everytime I watch your videos like this I wonder what's it's like to achieve your level. I had a heavy opiate addiction that hindered my career very early and I was even in a promising band. My addiction took me to dark dark places and eventually I had stopped playing all together for many years. I'm forty now with over 4yrs sober....so congrats to you my friend, one day at a time......and I have been playing ass off. I've gotten pretty decent considering I just started playing after like a 20 yr hiatus, but it kills me to think I could be where I r now. The dream in me never dies and honestly at times it drives me insane. Part of me wants to just forget the idea of ever even being in just a gigging or good sounding band and not just a level like yours. But the other does not. The thought of giving up something I love so much and one of the only thing I'm actually good...or so I'm told.... And tossing a dream down the tubes is just too depressing....and trust me I already suffer from a shit load of PTSD and depression lol. It was not my intention to write this next part of this comment, but I'm just going to go ahead and do it. If you could write me personally, I'll give you my email, and if you just give me any personal thoughts or insights or experiences that you've experienced getting clean, or just playing, or just experiences of your life in retrospecting comparison to mine, it would be most respected, and your words would mean so much. If not I understand you're a one busy brother and I get it. My email is fireinthesky500@gmail.com. thanks for all you do brother and here's to your continued success, cherish in California! Andy.
you're literally living my dream, you rock dude! ill get there too ! Cheers from NYC
Bernth out here single-handedly bringing the guitar back to the forefront.
Hi Bernth, sorry for this little "out of topic" thing but: for who is interested I knocked my head a bit to find the band at 2:55... reading the headliners of Nova Rock Festival (been gone for a couple of months now, too late to the party), scouting the program for same day of SEILER UND SPEER and metching possible candidates looking at the silhouettes of the band members and... thery are Boston Manor, the song is "Helo". They didn't hit me fatally but those 3 seconds of song are really beautiful and they knocked me out.
Sorry for the OT.
Cheers
Bro....the screen shot at 8:25 is amazing. It showed you are number 1 with 7,179 patrons as on June 26th, 2022. "Home free" ranked at number 4 on is pulling in $46,000 a month. So for any people watching & thinking about starting a channel just know it's possible and even probable you will succeed once you make the commitment. Way to go Bernth. I am sure you will have millions subs by Jan 1, 2024. I just subscribed, liked the video and commented which the algorithm loves. 😎
2:56 for those wondering that's Boston Manor - Halo
This was a really fun adventure to follow along with you! The video edits were great! Nice!!
...i think, there were enough people which know you and your skills since the last years on you tube, and were not surprised. Rock on, thx from Germany
Meeting Roman would be awesome. Jinjer only having one guitarist and still doing what they do is nuts. Glad they're all safe and away from the war.
This is the first time seeing you man. It's so inspiring how you cherish your job. I wish you more blessings.
Holy crap .. that is totally awesome Bernth !! .. I am so happy for you !! .. fantastic performances !! .. so glad you were able to experience this !!
This guy is the frigging Mona Lisa of Metal! So happy for you, man. Way to go 🙏
Great video. Worked touring gigs for a while and your sobriety is really an accomplishment. Thanks for the video!
I am more of a Blues and Rock / grunge fan but what you metal guys are doing is incredible... 🤟🏼
Sick guitar shreds is one of the reasons I became a metal fan! This is awesome that you’re exposing more people to it!!
I love how you put that little video of Boston Manor in there that’s such a good song I saw them live in 2019
Man! Congratulations for such achievement. I'd probably be crapping my undies in from of such huge crowd, I swear. You're indeed a pro and that was a trial of fire, bro. Also, great achievement staying sober for 3 years; metal does not necessary mean getting knackered all the time: congrats on that, too, man!
very impressive to play a solo like that on an acoustic, even one with a thinner profile than most!
Excellent show…wow. On the lesson when I started gigging I quickly realised how important string muting is at concert volume, so great lesson.
Thanks for sharing this. Always REALLY cool to see videos like this. I think most of us would like to be in this position 🤘
Very nice life you have going on there! Very cool to see from the outside. I’ve played since I was a kid, bar bands as an adult, and now I’m old. It’s been 8years since I’ve played in public. Kinda miss it. Biggest gigs were a couple of hundred people, most were smaller. Thanks for sharing this look at your real “behind the scenes” reality. I was only smart enough to roll like this the last 3-4years of performing. Skipping the drink and drugs can be hard but I think my musicianship improved a lot because of it even as my writing suffered. It did provide some inspiration at times. It seemed to me that once you make this change you must find others with a similar ethic in order to progress and finding those people can be difficult. I respect what you are doing and really enjoy your playing. 👍
Oh man, you're just simply awesome. You really inspired me. Hope i could be as good as you one day 💖
This is an awesome look into backstage life. I'm going to steal the BALLOON trick from your TM for future festival/big shows for my camp, as a Prod. Coordinator I appreciate the fact that you highlighted your crew folks in this video as well!
That was soooo cool. Thank you so much for making and sharing this. I loved being able to see everything from a behind the scenes perspective. Plus I love how humble and down to earth you are. Stay fresh!
Dude i saw the solo at nova rock it was sick. I came to seiler und speer because of you. The blast beat on the drums on the last song was sick too
Vienna will always be a super important City historically for all the amazing musicians that it birthed. The city of Music, indeed. You just know that that during concernt, some kid ended up headbanging while standing on Mozhart's unmarked grave.
Thanks for taking us along with you and for sharing so much of the details in preparation plus your thoughts! Congratulations on 3 years sober, that’s an amazing personal achievement. Doing the work you do is so inspiring!
This is awesome Bernth! I like that you point out how good it feels to be sober and keep performing better and better we're in this for the music! which is what makes us feel great
I loved the first solo. As always you amaze the people you play for
Love your skill,hair,fingers,voice..I love everything about this guy..keep shining dude.
My respect increased +300 when he said he's sober
This behind the scenes video was very enjoyable!
That arpeggiated phrasing was so badass dude. Sick guitar work even on acoustic!!
Thanks so much for sharing this experience. It was so cool watching the behind the scenes of a big event like this. Kudos for the humbleness and great playing! God bless
I have never been a fan of noodling but have always been a fan of humans who put the time in to master their craft. Big props.
The wild thing about bernth is he learned the guitar so fucking fast I'f you watch is progress video with in 4 years he was playing as if he was playing for 10 years he is deff a prodigy even if he doesn't think so he is
Love these behind the scenes series you've been doing this year, Bernth! Congrats on your all success - love the lessons and all the jokes throughout your vids!
Bin in der Menge gestanden und dachte mir die ganze Zeit:" Oida Bernth, bitte zags´ eana´ wies´ geht!". Und dann hast du heftigst abgeliefert! Danke Bernth, danke Seiler & Speer für diese tolle Experience!
7:43 *snorts a line of coke*
😂😂
That's really cool to hear that your sober,3 years bro,right on man
Dude this is awesome. Huge grin on my face the whole time. I'm going to go practice for the rest of the night now :D
Great playing man, those solos really went over well, great sound and tones.
I’m an FOH guy who loves to live vicariously so thanks for a glimpse into your day.
6:16 This is absolutely amazing.! Thank you for sharing.. And keep on the good work :)
