Make sure you know what you’re practicing and playing! Even if it’s just keeping a coherent idea of what it is you’re doing, or jamming over! That said, do whatever keeps it fun and exciting for you as well! :)

15 mins a day is great. Just drill something and then go to sleep and The next day it’s like it becomes carved in your mind a little more. Gets easier out of no where

I just had a euphoric moment. It feels like a door in my brain was just unlocked.

Im glad he doesn’t out right tell self taught guitarists that we are doing it wrong or bad at playing, but rather there’s things we might not be doing the most efficient way. Shows he actually cares about helping us learn guitar rather than show how superior he is to all of us. Great job man!

I first picked up a guitar 15 years old but couldn't afford one. I used to borrow my friend's guitar for days, used to my church just to play guitar. Finally bought an electric guitar at 22 years old. Now I'm 24 and I'm completely self taught

Coming from someone who is completely self-taught, it really is just about muscle memory and passion. If you just want to learn a couple songs to pickup chicks or something like that, then I'd say just take some lessons and set aside time to practice consistently until you get to where you want to be, but I digress. You can't expect to become a great guitarist if you are only trying to play perfect notes or sound like your favorite artist. You have to become one with the instrument, even if it's just for the duration of the session. Whether you play for 10 minutes or 2 hours, you have to completely set aside your ego and forget about trying to sound like anyone else besides you. Not the you that everyone else sees, but the real you. The inside you. The you that comes out when no one else is around. The key to becoming a great guitarist is basically being able to directly translate your thoughts and feelings into the instrument. You gotta let go and just flow. Unfortunately, it is hard to do that if you don't have enough memorization of the fretboard. Music theory is not necessary, but it can help. Just not without the soul. Without feeling it sounds like a robot wrote it. It is always good to learn more songs, and you can absolutely incorporate others' techniques into your own playing, but try phrasing it differently or putting your own spin on it. Who knows, you may invent a unique playing style or discover a brand new sound.

The first step can be taken as advice loosely. There's some guitarists out there with the most weird looking techniques but it works great for them.

Today was my one year mark of practicing songs riffs and practice routines truly grateful of your videos man ty

15-30 minutes a day is literally the best way to learn

I just pick up the guitar and play what sounds good to me people say I'm good but I literally have no idea what I'm doing lmao I want to learn more

Sometimes doing the most basic ascending and descending exercises on the same frets everyday can help build technique. That’s something I’ve figured out but I got a LOOOOOOOONG way to go!

You can always teach yourself how to play guitar, and you can get quite good that way as long as you are consistent with it. However, it’s always a good idea to eventually get a teacher or someone experienced in guitar to help you improve or fix some things

Finally someone has summed it all up so well!!

I'll just continue to play Smoke on the Water for 6 hours a day until something happens, thank you

Thank You!

I played for like 15 years. Since I was 7 or 8. I hit a plateau and could never get better. I thought some people just can't get past their own natural talent. Then I started watching KZfaq tutorials and completely changed everything. I can play shit I never would've imagined before. I'm convinced now that anyone can get better.

these are definitely great tips and I've been implementing them, studying players more advanced than me. but one thing that you gotta remember is that if you never go outside the box, you'll creatively stagnate yourself. one easy way to do this is learning about modes, and learning a few different scales like diminished scale and implementing them into your improv or jamming. I feel like there's gotta be a balance between practicing what you know vs what you don't know. basically I come from the side of "too much experimentation" which I honestly don't think that really exists but nevertheless it is pretty easy to go from that mindset to practicing what I already know while going back and forth between experimenting.

Consistency is a *huge* one, and very underrated. It doesn't make mathematical or intuitive sense, but you can learn more in 15-20 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week, than you could in a solid two-hour block on the weekend. Spreading the reps out and doing it every day gives your brain time to digest and process things in a different and better way than a huge block of stuff you do infrequently.

Just practicing at night, trying to get good enough to play nirvana, havent a clue just doing chords, have to figure out how to tune it and get a teacher 😅 great tips.

I like this guy’s vibe

Yes...working hard constantly , on that picking techniques , Legato, speed and much more ...love it ...I want to earn better degree myself🔥❤ thx Bernth 🙏👍

Great advice! Thanks 👍🏽

I'm skipping #4, because I'm already a subscriber :) Thanks for the tips, they're really helping me catch up to 15 years of just goofing around on guitar.

Great tips! I definitely need to practice more consistently. Thank you.

Great tips man!

i find that pull offs help alot when playing thunderstruck

Great stuff and love that song Waterworks man. Appreciate you

This guy is a good teacher and an excellent musician

Very true. I show my students how to play just as much as what. Technique's are king. Great lesson.

Ich liebe deine Videos. Du hast es echt drauf, bist bodenständig, und man kann eine Menge von dir lernen!

Bernth’s exercises are making me a guitar player. I was wasting tons of energy and getting injuries before I started practicing Bernth’s technique lessons.

My right hand is light speed and accurate, but my left hasn't caught up. Been playing for about 19 years, but I'm going to go hard at learning new techniques. Subbed!

Thank you. I should look at my technique

Amazing teacher

Cannot afford that kind of guitar, but thank you for inspire , thumps up

That moment where it cuts to a top/bottom split screen with the top half saying "old tenique" and the bottom saying "new tenique"... ...the guitar being shown on the top half; THAT is a badass looking guitar.

You seem to have an analytical learning style which is what I am looking for

thx man, im currentl learning it myself

I actually feel for technique it shouldnt be what other or doing but what feels most comfortable for you. Every guitar player ive watched is different on the picking hand.

You should do a video, where people are learning and you review and show them on technicues aaa

Well said. I just started learning guitar by watching KZfaq

Your amazing😊

Thank you this helped me

Your amazing!!!!!

You are a great teacher~

Love your stuff dude!

THANK YOU!!! ur videos helped me out so much!!

Thank you! Needed this! Skal!

I plan to practice like 30 minutes a day. But I ended up playing for 3 hours cause I had so much fun

Everyone on the internet to help : work hard

Very honest helpful advise, thanks guy

Cheers sensai. You're an inspiration. Wan lv

Thanks Burnth 🤘

Thank you!

2023 was strict alternate picking, and another year on focusing on chords and not having to drop a note when changing... learned a lot of songs. 2024, im going to focus upon at first saying/visualizing the actual note letters when I play... f,e,d, c,b,a,g#,a,b,a,g#.... And if it's a picked line for a chord, visualize said notes... and if a big chord visualize DFA or BGD, already noticed I can name chords for like the little fills while playing paint it black dm9 dm, dm4, dm, dm9, dm

Hey there! Thank you so much for the tips I still have to claim my gift that I was picked last week Big Thanks to you that you picked me I am so humbled. I have a mini acoustic guitar and try to learn as much I can my dream is to get a electric hope soon. You have a good Christmas 🎄

You are a best teacher thankyou so much in advance 💯✨

I rest my wrist on the bridge and I heard it’s bad and I’ve tried to get out of doing it but I simply can’t play without it

jam = practice. theres not a better way of putting your endless scales to actuall use and to improvise with them

This man plays the guitar like he’s boutta cast some spells holy shit

Muss ehrlich gestehen, ich bin eigl Linkshänder der eine Rechtshänder Gitarre spielt, sprich ich hatte nie wirklich Probleme mit meiner linken Hand, eher mit der rechten, jetzt hab ich mal das Plektrum so gehalten wie du’s in einem Video gezeigt hast und wolla, Handgelenk is offen 😱 nicht nur das, die synchro zwischen beiden Händen ist besser geworden 🙏

Thank you

Subscribed!!!

Powderr - Anywhere I Go 🎶

That guitar is gorgeous

I need a lesson too

Okay, thankyou

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 ❤️🙏🎶🎵🎼🎸✌️🍀👌

The 4th is the best tip 😋👌🏼

Im taking a guitar course for my final year of highschool next year

Wow useful amazing talented so useful

Haha! U got yourself a subscriber on the 4th technique!😊

Ur guitar is fire 🔥, how is it called?

We didn't have video options in the 70's, you just winged it.

I’m sad that I never took it seriously during my 15+ years of owning a guitar, I could’ve mastered so many things by now, I know I have the type of mentality that would love to learn and learn, but motivation is key for me

Ay your very inspiring, new here

Best useful youtube channel

Bernth!! We Love You My Guitariffic Fella.. Hope all is well.👊🧐🏴🇦🇽🇧🇪🇫🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲🏴🏴

Love this shit

Well i use the sweet child o mine for my warm up

❤ u thanks!!

I started playing over 10 years ago, but I've lost quite a bit of practice over the last year or so (been focusing on other instruments). I should pick it back up some time

I leave my guitar plugged into the amp and sitting in my gaming chair, tuned. That way I have to pick up and physically move a ready to play guitar just to sit there, and I play a 5 or 10 minutes like 5 times a day on the weekends

Thx youu :)

Me who is self taught for 2 years: Interval? That a new kind of chords?

Great guitar stuff. I just gotta ask, how do you get those dreads and what did you put in your hair to get them?

I use to practice everyday 1-5hrs per day in weekends I can do 7 hours more practice and learning songs by ear

I understood 63.7% of this video. Then I heard scales and blanked.

You said not only.scale but inversion or etc.. hmmm how to do that?? Please make the tutor ❤ i like the way you teach

To some extent this can be helpful for maybe new guitar players but At the end of it all what ever works and is most comfortable for you should be what matters. There is no wrong or right way to play, jimmy Hendrix plays the guitar upside down and he’s in the hall of fame or Jeff Healy plays with his hand over the fretboard instead of around both “incorrect “ ways of playing.

try to sneak on stage with a live band

What techniques/practice routines should I be doing? I keep trying to learn songs but I don't feel like I'm really understanding what I'm doing 😅 dose anyone know like specific scales/techniques I should be consistently doing?

Black Sabath😎🎅📻🎸🎤👍

I want to see you guitar battle Jacky Vincent

Get this. I was never shown how to play so the chords that I play are different than they're supposed to be played. I'm hoping to learn to read soon. God help me. Lll
