I Played A Sold Out Arena With A Beginner Guitar 

Listen to this new song 'Calm' on Spotify and follow for more ▶ spoti.fi/4a65At8

Mike Rutherford of Genisis has been playing Squire Bullet strats on tour for a little while now. I guess he got stuck at a second home during COVID and had one laying around and ended up liking it.

This reminds me of Thomas Raggi of Maneskin. He is a fantastic guitarist, and he often uses an old Squier on stage. It’s not the gear, it’s the player Edit: haters gonna hate, Maneskin is terrific. Teatro D’ira Vol. 2 gonna be insane

So glad this came up in my RU-vid recommendations, this was so cool to see and he seems like such a great person as well. Love the behind the scenes and the song Calm is so relaxing as well! Well done! Hello from USA :)

I enjoyed this. I am a musician , and I have a band and I get really nervous still before every time I play. It was comforting to see someone as amazing a guitarist as you are , are still human, and it’s so cool how you give back by addressing fellow musicians who may struggle w stage fright. After one song in I’m always good, that’s why I always make the first two songs the easiest to play. Haha my little secret. But seriously you helped me so much with this video. Thank you and good luck !

Cheap guitars dont make much of a difference. Its much more important have good amps cabinets, speakers, or amp simulators than a good guitar.

Bernth that Calm song.. Wow dude. Absolutely beautiful. Instantly brought a tear to my eyes. Been dealing with some bad depression past few days and that quelled alot of it. Much appreciation and love from TX, thank you for being an amazing musician and source of inspiration. Keep on being awesome and rock on brother 🤘❤️‍🔥

Bernth doing what he does best! Congratulations! Thank you for all the classes as always.

Bro you are one of the best. Im just so glad you are showing you skills here on yt cause I would probably never had found you otherwise

Bernth, I love these videos so much! I did all your vids, but these 'behind the scenes' with some voice over vids are just that much more exciting for me. Thanks for sharing!

Stay safe out there and keep up the absolutely amaxing work, all your spunds are so incredible and you deserve all the success earned on your path!

Bernth..everytime i see and hear you I have the utmost respect in your playing and your professionalism. Thanks for the knowledge you post!

That was a super clean climax!! Thanks so much for such insights on beginners equipments ❤🎉

I really liked how you shared the fact that you get nervous and also that you are mindfull about the "easy" parts of the songs/solos because I found that those can also be struggling when playing live. To see a highly technical and experienced guitar player talking about this was kinda relieving to me. Great video!

Man Bernth is such a great dude. I mean he’s obviously a top tier guitarist one of the best in the world in what he does. But I really appreciate how he always want to help people who struggle with his music.

These tour vlogs are always great!

Man you have such a great attitude and approach to playing. I am constantly impressed by your technique…keep rocking brother !!

Awesome sound and awesome work! You deserve that type of performance and you do your best. Great result!

I'm glad it work well, but then again, that's to be expected from someone like you and your crew. "Calm" is an amazing track. I hope you show us more videos highlighting live performances like this one. Cheers

You’re a great storyteller. Thanks for sharing this!

I have an 80s squire I got for really cheap thats made in the same factory as the Japanese Ibanez’s and it holds up really well. One of my favorite guitars in the collection.

Thanks for the awesome video. 😃👍 I love the song "Calm", it sounds like the second part of your song "What a broken heart sounds like", which I also loved.🤩

That was awesome, I can't imagine taking a stock basic guitar on stage without really knowing how that will go, it sounds fantastic great show.

This is the first video I've seen of yours. Instant subscribe. I love your positive energy and I'm looking forward to more videos!

Your guitar playing is amazing. What I love about your playing is that it’s always melodic. Even when you shred. Every note is purposeful 👍 . Considering your virtuosity, you seem humble. What I take away from you videos is that I should always warm up

dude i have goose bumps listen the music, its kind very smooth and very relaxing. great song bro

It really doesn't matter what the price of the instrument is or how much good quality it is of. Its ijust pure talent,dedication,skills and hard work which matters the most. And among all these qualities you posses all of them. Love you bro !! ❤

i love watching your videos and you are so talented i play guitar too and you help me a lot i am right now learning how to shred thank you so much without your help i wouldn't be able to do most of the techniques i have learned with your videos right now you've changed my life :)

Amazing the level of precision. Best ive ever seen in over fifty years.

Great sounding solos as always!

Awesome. very cool Vlog. Loving the behind the scenes footage. You sound amazing!

I really wish more musicians showed this part of their lives. The pre-show routines, building shows, etc is fascinating.

0:38 "Innocent Radio listeners" made me crack up when not even a minute of the video is done, love it man keep it up😂❤

Amazing 🤩 loved it!!

Sweet tune!! I feel so calm now 🤘🔥

awesome vid thanks for all the guitar help over the years

CALM BEFORE THE STORM is ABSOLUTELY beautiful...

I really love your new single "Calm" Keep on Rockin' Bro

Was feeling very low but the composition calm before the storm was amazing it really helped🙌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Its great to see that its mostly never the equipment, it is the talent! Talent beats equipment :) Thanks for sharing this and great show!

I love how he was really trying for some unique shots with your camera… even the through-the-legs shot lol

Sounds Great! I'm new to your channel, great guitar work!

Nice video Bernth!We are waiting for the "calm" tab to show up on songsterr.Keep it up!🤘

It's great ! Inam happy for you'!

sounded great!!!

Great video and cool idea! ❤

i’ll have to see this it is amazing the decent quality you can get nowadays for $400, because back in my day lol (I was 13 in 1984)for $400 will get you a barely playable piece of plywood, that Ibanez just needs a set of graphite string trees and locking tuners to give it better tuning stability and you have a perfectly gigable guitar well done.

love this guy!

It's not what you use, but the way that you use it 😊

Great guitarist and cool guy. Thank You Bernth.

This video is great. Cheap, or expensive I don't think it really matters when it comes to guitars as long as you have a good sound that's in tuned. Amplifiers, cabinets, and especially speakers are the most important things you should be worried about. Again well done. 👍

Wiedermal der Beweis, es liegt zu 95% am Künstler. Top gespielt, Respekt! OHT Original Himbeer Toni aus München 😎👌

Amazing !!

Congrats on your show Bernth 🎉

... AND IT SOUNDED INCREDIBLE!

Congratulations and great performance

5:38 time marked I love it!! Man glad how Bernth showed everything

I love this!!!!

Thanks for this video

A great guitarist can truly make any guitar sing

awesome.. amazing guitar played.....

When I first watched this channel it was below 100k subs but now your channel subs still growing.

Sweet jams bro 😎

Good for you, Bernth. Nice friendship and sober, yes me too. Great video.

Your new song "Calm" is absolutely amazing!! I'm 60 years old and I don't say that about much new music today, just wish it was longer.

You are now on my Spotify Lib. and I have to say, I like what I hear. Nice work.

I just discovered your Calm song.... ohoohooo WOW !!! It's short but what a song ! I'm not into shredding/tapping but I will definitely try to play this one, there is plenty of exercises to practice for me there and it's so, so beautiful. What a great way to get out of my comfort zone :) Is there an official tab to get/buy somewhere ?

That was sick.

Oida, krankes Show! I'm diving into Austro-pop lately (studying in Austria requires some knowledge of the context) and can't decide between Seiler und Speer and Alle Achtung! - but I guess I don't have to choose between you at all XD

Amazing.. I love this.. makes me want to play guitar differently lol

Currently trying to turn an old squire that my grandpa used to own (he wasn’t a fan of strats) that he gave to my brother who abused it and let it get horribly bad. I plan to put a Floyd and some other things into it when I can afford it :(

Budget Ibanez and Yamaha hss “strats” are great. I still have Yamaha Pacifica 311. I put in the SD’s the 611 had and an Evertune. Love it!

Great player always know how to make everything possible

My man doesn't drink. Absolutely icon.

Excellent and beautiful.

you are amazing bro tf

I had someone I knew growing up in the 80s/90's and he had this Peavey guitar that had a case with an AMP and SPEAKER in it. You could play it and what not. Well, the neck kind of moved side to side like the screws were lose. But then some jazz guy from my uncle came in and absolutely domininated that guitar. He was shredding it. It was not an expensive guitar at all. Not at that time anyway. I still think about it. I don't own any fancy guitars, I have an ibanez roadstar II series from 1984, a fender squire from indonesia, and a few others. I enjoy them all often. They sound great. Also, some Rage Against the Machine? Sounded so bizarre but took me a while to realize the sections.

mad respect to yall

Bro I have terrible stage fright, but the idea of playing in a sold out arena gives me an incredible rush of adrenaline and euphoria.

loved it

Calm sounds dark and beautifull 🤟🎩🌹

Love the Archetype Shirt

The music comes from within. The skill is in the hands and mind. They are the true instrument.

in every pop crowd there is one RnR Somelier that admires your work ;)

I hope i see a harley benton guitar fusion in your next performance🤘🏼

It's cool how these bands tour for a couple weeks at a time. All you ever hear is like massive year long tours.

Great video

I love you bernth❤

Yeah!

Hab ja genau die Gitarre von dir in Köln bekommen 😊 vielleicht werde ich die auch in Zukunft mal live nutzen

i didnt know you even toured here in austria :') so sad i missed it

🤘 I have that beginner Ibanez but it doesn't sound like that!🤣 Awesome perspective from on stage.

i wish there were more of these mini arenas in the US, you either get a huge 3 tier arena, or a small club.

Cool !

Love it

That guitar is super underrated. One of my favorites.

The tone is in the hands. My $2,000 Les Paul sounds WAY better in my hands than my $200 Warlock. But I have friends who make my $200 Warlock sound much better than me playing my Les Paul. Bernth, you can make rubber bands glued to a twig sound better than me and my Les Paul. You are a maestro of your craft!

You’ll find across almost all model brands that computer selection of woods and CNC manufacturing has enabled very good budget model guitars to be produced, which allows beginners to make progress at a much quicker rate that could be done before when you had to fight the instrument to play it

There's an old saying: It's the poor musician who blames his instrument. This is the corollary to that. A good musician can play on anything.

When are you coming to Portugal? It would be awesome
