Even not being a beginner, we see the "basic" stuff with new eyes and always learn some details we didn't earlier. Learning is a circle and everytime we review "old" lessons we don't bother with basic difficulties and pay attention to the details.

We all learn different stuff on guitar at different times, and learn a lot of different things also. So a lesson might not be basic, it could just be certain info that a guitarist might not have seen. There is so much about how to play guitar in this world, so many styles, songs, etc.

@@michaelblack9458 Yeah, back in the pre-tab days when I started playing, we had one grouchy old man that taught flamenco guitar in my small town. After one lesson where he taught me to tune my guitar was it for me. I learned by watching/playing with others, and becoming adept at dropping the needle on the guitar solo. I wore out countless cassette decks rewinding/fast forwarding! Oh the pain! Guitar theory kind of came along after the fact, and in bits and pieces because there just wasn't a lot of sources for theory related to guitar, other than classical where you had to read music. So yeah, it was easy to pick up bad habits because we didn't have Bernth to straighten us out! Rock on...

How's the sweep picking coming? I've been messing around with guitars for nearly 20 years and am looking to get more serious about it. I want to be able to shred but so far in trying it doesn't seem possible for me. Bad habits and technique doesn't help any.

I'm 55 years old. Grew up trying to learn malmsteen licks in the 80's. But I love these shredding videos. You are so fluid and precise. Adding you to my favorite guitarists/teachers of all time. You have an amazing gift on guitar that I wish more of the world could appreciate like I do. Thank you.

This is exactly my hang up with sweep picking. The bottom and top are defined, with those sloppy ghost notes in between. I haven’t put lots of effort into it until now, so it’s exciting to hear that this is how you began as well. Practice and instructors break boundaries

Not only do I remember 'Stabwound' very well, I also grew up in the same town as these guys. I've worked with two of their early drummers, one of them being a buddy of mine. One day he gave me their demo 'cassette tape' and I was blown away. He invited me to one of their rehearsals in a basement so I could sit in and watch them practice. It was quite something to watch. So disciplined, and unbelievable instrumental skills. It's so well deserved how Necrophagist became an icon in their genre.

I'm a perpetual advanced beginner I guess. Guitar is my zen. Working on things like this is a form of focused meditation for me. Thanks for all you do!

I haven't played for 3 years I can still play but I'm hella sloppy. Thank you so much for this, hope I get better again

Awesome video and lessons! Can’t wait to download the Patreon course. Just the final lesson you showed does look a bit scary… 😅. Gonna be fun, as always! Thanks for all your great lessons!

I’ve been hitting my sweeps HARD to play the solo in From Nothing by Reflections. Six string diminished sweeps through three inversions at 240 bpm, it’s fuckin ruthless. I’m taking all the help I can get and I’m so glad you’re uploading stuff that’s applicable 😅🙏

"Deep down I always knew that it's just a trick..." My entire guitar technique. Lots of people think I'm good. But I know the truth. Gotta get real skills now though.

great sweep picking techniques exercise from you.loved and enjoyed your lesson.thanks a lot for it.

Brilliant lesson, thanks. Hopefully it’ll help me get passed this huge block in my playing.

I had been playing on the same shitty guitar and amp for over a decade. Finally upgraded my gear and actually have different sound effects! I'd always stuck to jazz for the most part. Im excited to practice shredding techniques. I've got a strong grasp on music theory and your videos have been helping me a lot. Thank you much!

3 days after finding this video and I am genuinely already making progress with my sweeping. I can't thank you enough daddy Bernth.

you are the best teacher on YT Bernth !

Great lesson - You are a guitar playing beast!

This is what im looking for !!! THANKS BERNTH🤙🔥🔥

This is coming from someone who is attempting to sweep for the first time. The first practice is good, but I would recommend to try the major arpeggio rather than the minor first, it helped me and maybe it will help you 😁👍

this is what i exactly needed, i always wanted to sweep pick smoothly when i started. and i m stil hoping to do it

Dude fuckin stabwound is incredible and the solo, while not nearly as technical as their other ones is gloriously filthy and by far my favorite

Great lesson , Bernth. I have been hoping for more exercises chaining sweeps together and including lead lines. I need more of this.

I'm not a sweeper, most guitarist sound terrible sweeping. Bernth you actually do it extremely well, that is rare in my opinion.

haha bro you are describing my problem perfectly; this is amazing, you are exactly what I've been looking for.

The thing that inspires me to get better at guitar is Polyphia... at first I thought I was aiming too high but their stuff isn't actually that bad. It's just fundamentals + teleportation. I learnt the ego death riff but now want to learn something with sweep picking in it (like the second half of Ego Death... or 40oz)

I need this sweeping techniques because of canon rock thank you so much for your free tutorial

Great advice. 👍

Best teacher watching you from IRAN🇮🇷🤘🏻

Great!! Could you make a video of how to make gallops like John Schafer from Iced Earth? He has a very rare technique to make infernal gallops.

My approach is to play the hardest songs, with metronome from the slowest speed, first getting all the notes right, then gradually building speed (slowly) and sometimes I push Myself way too hard to challenge myself and break my limit. And when I struggle to play smooth and clean at those very high speeds, I go back to to slow metronome again and I build it up again. And repeat the whole process over and over again and again. And the results are far too sweet. I didn't even expected to give these good results. But this way works for me.

Been playing for 15 years and my impatience caused me to need to go back to basics.

Luv it when he sweeeps

All I want is to be able to play Jason Becker, but after the few years I played, Practicing almost feels pointless. This video actually helps get me outta that mindset, genuinely. Been stuck in it for a few years now.

Great video! Any chance on a tremolo picking lesson!?

I improve my sweep also forgetting about my fretting hand and relax it, then roll the fingers to the sweep and the pick will do the sweep(pendulum) motion automatically

Dude, I would be happy being able to play your “sloppy fake arpeggios”. I’m currently at arpeggi NO. Thanks for all your posts I’m get it ;)

I am doing exact the same kind of sweeps rn, the deadnote stuff, but i listen to a lot of bach and alot of yngwie malmsteen, and try to work on the notes in between.

Thanks teacher I'm playing guitar 25 years ago on a culture riff but sweep picking is not good in my hands ,very hard to conquer the scales 😂 as I watch your guitar lesson is very good

Hi Bernth, thanks for he invaluable share. Amazing sound. Are you using a 10-46 strings gauge there?

Gonna use these exercises to learn the sweeps at the end of Sentient 6 by Nevermore :)

My white whale was trying to learn the intro to Lake Bodom. I never did, but hopefully as a member of your Patreon I'll build my skills enough.

In order to Psych yourself in executing a correct sweep picking technique. always think about a broom. All you have to do is push and pull the pick smoothly while gliding along the strings. The lick that really helped me achieve this technique would be Symphony Xs The Damnation game. Sorry Bernth hahaha but excellent playing though!

This is awesome dude! You're a fuckin master!

Thanks

Hey bernth, love the videos and think your an amazing player, and was hoping to ask some advice I've just started learning to sweep pick and I have been working on some simple 3 string sweeps, it's fine when I play slow but when I play fast I miss the B string when I go up to the high strings I was wandering if you have any advice on how to correct this, or if you could possibly cover it in one of your next shorts Thx

What’s good settings on the amp ? Mixing part as well?

Alright, so its pretty funny that you started with that minor formation from Necrophagists Stabwound, because my largest interest in getting better at sweep picking comes from that sick riff in Born of Osiris song, Machine, and its the exact formation he uses for that riff 🤣. I'm having a difficult time getting those 16th notes in at 155bpm, I just can't seem to get my fingers to move precisely enough to get clean notes past 140 bpm. I suppose I just need more practice with the metronome but I dunno, maybe I'm 42 and too old to learn 😐

Hey guys! I need help with something, I'm learning A tout le monde by Megadeth, but I'm really struggling with he last sweep picking part of the solo, is there any tip or advice you guys can give me? This is literally my first time diving into sweep picking, so I honestly don't know much about it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Good friend sweeping

If the sweep picking is 1 finger for 3 strings, can we replace it with 3 fingers, for example 1 freet has 3 strings pressed?

What delay are you using? It sounds amazing!

I am trying to find a similar guitar channel for classical guitar that has play-along technique exercises, but not finding anything. It would be great to have some challenging classical guitar exercises that I could play-along with and possibly have tab as well.

Been olaying for two years, but not consistently due to depression, hope i can learn how to sweep pick soon :') i feel like im so behind on everything

My inspiration is Tornado of souls. Prove me wrong

Good👍

Necrophagist is the band that got me into sweep picking

Alaska by between the buried and me was my motivation to sweep pick

Thanks 🌷🌷🌷😍😍❤️❤️🌷🌷

I always stayed away from sweeping because I saw it as an advanced technique, and I simply wasn't into the sound it produces. Let me tell you that even if you are not gona put sweep arpeggios and licks into your repertory because it's simply not your style, learning it is fundamental to your right hand technique. Switching to adjacent strings becomes cleaner and more efficient. Also, I developed the bad habit of using the elbow too much on my legato/alternate picking. Alternating between "from the wrist" alternate picking and sweep picking exercices, I started to develop a much cleaner and more relaxed technique, as I began to be able to use my elbow to do the string switching much more effortlessy, as the wrist focuses on plucking.
