Dear BERNTH, we need more workouts like yours on KZread. 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 KZread when it comes to anything technique-related!

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 can always count on you to post something that really gets me shredding ! Thanks .I love this kind of stuff !

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!

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?

Awesome video man! My guitar doesn't have a 22nd fret so I just moved it down to the 12th fret. Let's rock!

Hey BERNTH, I’m a recent subscriber and this was my first time watching the video and attempting the workout. And I have to say… this is honestly one of the most fun, challenging, and useful workouts I’ve ever done. I made it to 140 on my first try through and can already feel my fingers improved. So many workouts become uninteresting after a few attempts; this one however makes me want to keep at it again tomorrow. Thank you for the great content!

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.

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

Thanks Bernth for this very useful workout video.🙏 It's part of my daily routine for more than one month now!Your challenges are the core of my training as I'm trying to become more focused and more regular to be able to reach a better level especially on lead guitar! 🙌

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

Day 18 level 6 👀 Also I'm a patron now 🎉 Also I grinded this for two hours last night and I'm working on level 8 now 🏓

You are a practical and idealist teacher. I admire you..

Level 1, but had the pattern consistent after a while. Perfect timing for this video, I'm in need of some chop building exercises, thanks 🥇

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.

Bernth you're such an incredible musician and player!!! I am new to guitar and your exercises really help me see progress. Thank you

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.

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 ;)

Dude Bernth just helps so much with leveling up techniques on guitars man. Really great teacher and musician.

This greatly improved my technique. Thanks BERNTH

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?

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 😈

@Amber57499

2 жыл бұрын

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

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 !!

I don't have much experience with other brands but I know Neural DSP has a built in metronome in the amp sim. I generally just run Nerual DSP as the standalone amp sim and only run it through reaper when I want to record something, so if you're looking to use it for practice purposes this is probably the easiest way

For amp sims there is actually a really good free amp sim from stl/ignite, it‘s called the emissary and has a clean and high gain channel. There‘s also a free IR Loader with some usable impulse responses. If you have some money to spend there is NeuralDSP and some others. One I‘ve found that is really amazing and underated is the Otto Audio Eleven Eleven. Sounds great has the thickest lowend I‘ve heard in an amp sim and has literally endless tonal options. And it‘s not that expensive.
