Dude! I can’t say how amazing this is! I live in a small rural town where we had a guitar teacher at the local music store that really SUCKED. I never learned anything in over a year that I took lessons so I felt discouraged from ever learning music theory. 15 years later I’m finally learning thanks to you!!!
Yeah i had the same experience at a course i took at my local junior college at 17 years old but later i learned from a guitarist that used to be in Darkest hour that did online lessons a few years later. A good teacher makes a world of difference and Bernth definitely knows his stuff. He explains things alot better than most instructors i have encountered.
I had a shit guitar teacher too. He hired me to teach for him when I barely knew anything (at 15 years old lol). I think I had taken lessons with him for about 3 months. All he would do is have me get playlists together for him in order to teach me (inaccurate versions) of songs I liked and basically just botch songs and use Am, Em, G, C, and D chords for EVERTHING. I knew they sounded wrong but being so young who wants to call out their "mentor" for doing a crappy job. It was the biggest joke ever. He would get high and then come back reeking of weed. He was pretty decent at guitar but pretty much just wanted to show off to a bunch of 15-year-olds. LOL Thinking back, I can pinpoint EVERY SINGLE time I was asking questions, he was very obviously ignoring me... Hindsight definitely being 20/20. 15 Years later and I realize there is this/ thing called "Music Theory" that is actually the part of music that I TOTALLY dig... OH WELL ✌✌
I know I'm writing on an old video and you probably won't see this but I just wanted to say your videos have been absolutely amazing, I haven't played guitar in over 12yrs (life). My son started playing drums about 3yrs ago and recently got him a double beater. It's clear he's showing no signs of stopping, and he asked me the other day to start playing along with him. I've used several of your videos as a sort of 'boot camp' to whip myself back into shape and plan on getting into your Patreon to make sure I can keep up with him lol. Can't think of a cooler thing to father/son bond over than metal \m/
This dude is amazing. I am a euphonium player and have played it for almost 8 years now and I’m just starting to pick up guitar. I know a lot of music theory and write my own stuff for the euphonium from time to time when I’m not playing in a band. Now after seeing this video for the guitar I’ll be able to speed up the guitar learning process a lot. Thanks bernth
Learning the notes in groups also makes sense from a psychological point of view. “Chunking” the notes into groups (like c-d-e, f-g-a-b, accidentals) makes them easier to remember. We do the same thing with phone numbers, for example.
Dude, since I've been wanting your videos and doing your practice videos I've become so much better of a guitar player in a really short time. It's really crazy. I do actual practice probably 3 -4 times a week with your videos around 45 minutes to an hour and my speed, accuracy, and just over all playing have improved. Cant wait to start these exercises...never realized how bad I sucked before...Haha :) thanks Bernth!
THANK YOU SO MUCH BERNTH.. YOUR ENGLISH IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND YOUR LESSON TOO🖤 MOST UNDERRATED GUITAR TEACHER LOTS OF LOVE,SUPPORT AND RESPECT FOR YOUR HARD WORK..🖤
BERNTH. I’m a fan. I think this is your calling. Playing and teaching. I am a Patreon subscriber. The only concern I have as a novice shredder is order of use. I’ve always played rhythm not lead. I’m good at it but time to completely dream. My question is where to start. I can see how a new guitar player would not know how to put these lessons into an order of first to last to do. This is the best guitar learning site on the net. Congratulations for doing a great job. I’m glad I’ve joined the BERNTH community!!
I went and looked somewhere else for fretboard internalization and you go and drop a whole course. You shred so hard you anticipate your subscribers moves now dude? Geez.
I'm on my 2nd year of learning the Viola(Alto Violin). When I practice scales, I say the notes of the scale to help me remember where the notes are. And to boot, it's fretless.
Played by you even the C major scale sounds awesome. I am trying to get by learning intervals from roots. Those octave triangles are a start. The distance between g and b being a third rather than a quart is my personal cryptonite though.
Hey man I recently stumbled upon your videos and am just absolutely amazed and delighted by the efficiency and simplicity of this wonderful set of exercises. Thank you so much for this man. I’ll be looking at all your videos soon and once I understand all the free videos I’ll definitely be joining the patreon. Wow man bravo seriously not trying to be dramatic or anything man this is a fucking badass learning tool and I’ve been playing 20 years and learning by ear, so this really helps me move forward to the next level and is directly the info I needed in a way I didn’t even know was possible to start learning at such a level. You are an inspiration to musicians everywhere and to people like me, who dream of a career in music and you’re showing me a way I never even thought possible. Seriously great job man I can’t even rn lol 🎉😂
Thanks senor My teacher will be teaching me some theory next class(ugh 😩) But this exercise will come handy Thank you Hope you and your loved ones are safe in these situations
Dude I just watched a video of a guy droning on for 7 1/2 minutes about nothing before he even got to it and then it was still confusing. Thank you, you literally rock!!
Dear Bernth, I was a Patreon of you, but quit because your lessons where often too advanced and intimidating for me. Now I don't think so anymore! Please keep up the beginner friendly lessons. EDIT: The preview of Chapter 2 got me, I'm a patreon once again!
4:50 I never understood why no one rotates the fretboard view 180° So you can see it like in the Tab or when actually tilting your Guitar. I think that would be much more intuitive and easier to learn. Excellent videos though. Grüße
Awesome, however why does noone say to their students that the musical notes are basically the beginning of the english alphabet in order? It's "ABCDEFG", but everyone starts from C, so it's CDEFGABC. I got stuck a lot of times when I tried to memorise it starting from C, so remember this cool technique and you'll be able to instantly remember this forward and backwards :)
Hi guy's, can anyone explain to me that there is E#? Just saw it somewhere in the comment section in FB group.. he said that theoretically there is E#? TIA.
