meanwhile i stay up until 4:30am trying to understand the phrygian scale

This man really is out to be the best guitarist in the world. Cheers, bernth! Edit: I said Bernth's "out to be" the best guitarist. Never called him the best. Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Ichika Nito and Tim Henson are all fantastic guitarist but let's not compare and make a mess of everything.

Bernth, dude, I need you to see this. THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY GUITAR PLAYING LIFE! I am no where near where you are right now but I am so driven to get there. Waking up at 0430 every day and putting in a solid 1 to 1 and a half hours every day for the last 3 weeks has gotten me so much further in my playing. Thank you for this video. I'm a lifetime subscriber and will join the patreon soon.

Some people wake up early to work out. This legend wakes up early to shred guitar. Rock on man! 🤘

On a serious note, you are exceptionally motivational

I'm not a metal player, but man I'm amazed at your skills. I've been playing rock mostly for 25years, since in was maybe 10. Recently I decided I wanted to try the acoustic, and fingerpicking specifically. Since I rarely sleep more thsn a couple hours, I starting practicing a couple weeks ago 3 hours a night when everyone's sleeping. I got to level I thought I'd never reach after only a couple weeks. Hard work pays off.

I am up at 4 am every morning and love to practice quietly while I watch the sunrise! Bernth, your discipline is exceptional. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Peace from Costa Rica

Man, I have downloaded all your Patreon exercises, practices, workouts everything, I even have a partition called Bernth, but this workout really got me, specifically workout 2 I couldn't stop playing for almost 4 hours. Man, you are my hero

“I want to be able to effortlessly play anything that I can dream up.” -a true musician

The fact that you have been able to consistently hold a 14-hour daily work schedule is truly incredible! The skill you have is well deserved!

So glad I joined patreon, I'm on day 4 of the hand synchronization course and already hitting my runs alot cleaner,you have a great teaching technique

Man’s already a G.O.A.T and it’s very inspiring to see him reaching for new heights!

Your commitment to the instrument and getting better is absolutely amazing.

This isn't exactly the type of music I want to learn or play, but that doesn't mean it's not impressive or that I wouldn't benefit from learning this. Recently (after starting to watch your videos) I've been feeling like I'm worse than I felt before. Mainly because you point out the mistakes that I see myself doing. So currently I'm working on playing easier lines cleaner and faster.

You beat me I start at 5am until 9am 6 days a week. Been doing that for almost a year now. My favourite time, no distractions. One of those hours is spent on your excellent exercises.

That's the biggest issue with any type off hobby. From Music to Sports. Many people don't understand that hours of daily study is needed. I’m an old Alpine Slalom Competitor. I skied for 9 years before I started high level racing. I can learn guitar faster than many because of 50 years of Violin. It still takes daily practice. Daily Spider exercises, scales, practice practice practice. Plus theory. Well done Bernth. You are a fantastic example of Professionalism.

I've leveled up so much watching your videos. You are the best teacher and one of the most kick ass guitarists ever! Thanks man! 🤘😁🤘

Hard work with well deserved results. There's a reason Bernth is so accomplished

Pretty sure Bernth has sold his soul for these chops 😈 🎸

Good Lord Berth. That's the fastest accurate playing I've seen in a long time. Jason Richardson might want to take notice. Shawn Lane would be proud

I love your dedication! Practice makes perfect!

Superhuman is an understatement, @Bernth. You're God-like! It's so inspiring!

Ooh Vienna... Love that song. I dig your self control and dedicated mindset. Your channel has become more than just guitar techniques and exercises. It's food for the soul. Peace and much love brother

You always inspired me to take the excercises seriously!!!! Thank you for this and also for giving me experience to playing my guitar as I want, exactly!! In fact, I'm going to start my routine early today!☺

I'm passing by to thank you for your work!! It's amazing what you do guitarists here. I haven't subscribed to your patreon yet, I hope to do so soon, but your content here on the channel has helped me develop my technique, for example this video, which I'll have to rewatch more than once to absorb everything. Thank you very much!! Hugs from Brazil

Your hard core bro Wish i could get away with that much practice Ill think of ya when i get up at 4:30 every morning to go work

This was amazingly inspiring and helpful! To have this compartmentalized! TRAMENDOUSLY inspiring!

I noticed that our thoughts about the technique and the game converge, and I've only been playing for two years ;) so I'm on the right track)) thank you!!

I've been getting up at that time for 6months and its changed my life. You can do so much shit before anyone has NEED of you, no distractions, no phone calls , no emails, no one telling u that they need to do something

Bernth, you're very much an inspiration. I am waking up at 5:30 and going to bed at 22:00, and I found that especially after quitting alcohol 2 years ago, my mind sometimes goes on to have the life of its own when I want to sleep, especially when I'm on a work trip that is across multiple time zones. My company sponsors a sleep/meditation app that I don't want to mention the name of coz might be perceived as an ad but it has LeBron James and Optimus Prime telling you sleep stories. I never finish a sleep story. Also, I will be in Wienna in September, can I see you gigging somewhere?

Your playing is so tight and impressive. It almost seems fun to practice all these scales and technical exercises! Will surely have a look at your courses later on

1:33 Bro turned on Mozart mode on a guitar. Nice video, very helpful and fun to watch. I really like your content man. I started playing guitar like 9 months and your channel helped me a lot.

its funny because you inspired me to get up at 430am to practice but i do 30minutes fasted cardio first, before guitar practice

You and Marty Friedman are the two guitarrists that inspire me to keep going

dude i've been looking EXTENSIVELY for motivation practice at SIX am. not 4.30 but babysteps. glad i found dis and the fact you share a similar mentality with clear explanations. that's studying like a MASTER.

Mad respect dude! You are a legend!

How's your back after practicing for a couple of hours? Do you do back and neck stretches before and after?

Nooice, grats on leveling up. 🤘

Thank you for all these practices I wanna be able to shred near your level one day dude Thank you for helping me push myself practice more I’ve been enjoying my guitar so much lately Thank you dude!!

subbed. love your dedication man! rock on!

Respect man! It is about muscle memory. The same you can practise with singing. Greetings from the netherlands!

"4:30 a.m." A new-school guy with old-school ideas and work ethics....Friggin awesome !!

I work a day job. I started doing this and i play everyday now. Waking up earlier is a great way to start the way also

This is a great video for everyone to watch. Not just guitarists. I have never slept well and for years(decades...) it used to really frustrate me. For the past few years, when I wake early(or cant sleep) Ill go work on designs(graphic design) - either current projects or give myself a hard project to work on. Today Iv been up since 4:30 (its almost 7am) and Iv got three projects mostly finished(from start) and learnt a new technique. The "10000 hour" theory requires lots of early starts I feel.

I’m trying to start this but I’d be more realistic and aim from 6-8 am 2 hours is good for wat I need and I do need the practice I’m mostly fingerstyle but love the blues and need to master alternate picking !! This guy is on another level he’s amazing!! Hi my man if you don’t mind me asking wat time you go to bed at 😀😀cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 love your content you are a master guitar 🎸 guy take care !! Brian 🤘

Brother Bernth, this inspires me to take my leads to the next level, so thank you! I tend to fly by the seat if my pants for much of my soloing. But if I’m to be brutally honest with myself, I sometimes use ‘being creative on the fly’ as an excuse to not dig in deeper with precision, if that makes sense.

Video title is admirable, great effort man! 🙌🙏🤙

This is really motivating. Thanks!!!

Thank you for the inspiration ❤

Dude, you rock!! Thanks for the tips.

aint no shortcut.......love your videos \m/..

Awesome playing! Thank you sir!

I had a pretty good practise routine, with the exception that it was the last thing before sleeping. I'm a night person, so often it's staying awake until 04:30 :D I rarely have to be at work before noon though. Practising before sleeping has the benefit that my brain kind of makes it work while I sleep and the next day it goes better. I've been crazy busy for the last year so my practising isn't what it used to be, but I would like to get back to it, because I enjoy it so much. I don't often even have a goal in it, I just like to play. Daily practise is a very good thing if you want to improve.

Are you really telling me that you are only practicing for 2 hours a day!? Just from seeing your skills and progress, I thought that you are practicing like 8 hours a day or something. But this kind of shows how important it is to practice frequently and stick to your routines and exercises. Thanks Bernth for all the effort you put in your videos to help us becoming better guitarists!

Ain't nobody working 40 and commuting 10 hours a week got time for that. Unfortunately. Insane skills, respect.

The morning run you run after you play guitar???? That’s brilliant dude

I literally practice from 8am-3pm everyday I take breaks etc . One thing I learned form learning guitar is there is not cheating practice I do damn the same exercises everyday it might be a lil boring but I see the progress everyday .

Now that's dedication!

Why focus on speed rather than harmony ?

Awesome! I have not even been playing but I want to buy this!

Ce gars a une technique de folie...quel boulot!

*why do you don’t rest your hand on bridge or somewhere near? How do u master floating hand picking and no mistakes?*

this changed my life thx

You encourage me to play my guitar the hardest thing I know is eruption, I love your videos!

The Jocko Willink of metal; waking up at 4:30 to GO GET SOME! 🤘🏻👊🏻💪🏻

This dude is just amazing

this is really inspiring, God bless you.

as a dentist, I can say your smile rocks! I like how you included the brushing in the video lol but seriously you rock dude

Amazing stuff!

Dude that is crazy. I don’t know how I could ever get my fingers that fast and dexterous. I am curious how much of that is skill and how much is talent. Clearly this is both for sure. I’m just saying everyone does have a peak, and nobody is equal.

It takes a buddhist’s discipline to achieve those skills.

I'm usually up at 4:30 am everyday anyway due to back pain so I may as well start practicing at that hour haha thanks Bernth haha

I loved the reference to The Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask, excellent video, thank you very much and greetings from Mexico 🎭🖤😎🤘🏻👌🏻

I practice like this Everyday in my Dreams from 4:30 to 6:30 😂

you are a source of inspiration for all guitar players

So, I used to do this a few years ago before a car accident. It totally makes a difference in all daily routines. You also find it’s easy to get things done as everything isn’t open at night. So paying bills, buying food, making important calls or just getting extra stuff done like playing guitar, or working out (mark wahlburg originally inspired me) Glad to see someone else whom used it to play guitar.

That's some legendary dedication.

Level up ~ Right on! Totally in the vortex eh' UFC training for guitar. Fight!

Crazy dedication

Hey BERNTH, does the pick you use really make much of a difference? I have never had an 'expensive' guitar pick, usually just using whatever is around (mostly match picks), just curious if is worth buying those angled picks.

Bring your fresh dreams to the fretboard

awsome channel my dude i just sub !!

You're a BEAST. I don't think I could wake up at 4:30 each day, let alone practice for 2 hours. Congrats!

i love u so much bro, thanks very much

5:47 looks fast forward but, wtf. the speed itself is already insane

Bernth! Why strictly use alternate picking when you can use directional picking, not to be confused with economy picking? I find that I can achieve much greater speeds and cleaner playing using this technique since the pick remains in the trenches (between the 2 strings). Thoughts?

You're a great guitar player. Chears from Perú.

This is probobly the defintion of dedication

I got a question. If you really want to be a good Guitarist, and you're ready to work for that. How many hours should I play eachday?

You're obviously insane. And fn great .so, props, scarecrow

Woah, ur technique is amazing! I'm usually just getting home from work at 9pm, make dinner & prep for the next day. I tend to do my practice from 10pm-midnight or 11pm -1am, sleep and get up at 8am. Similar routine but backwards! 😂 Night owl VS Early bird!

This guy is the Navy Seal of playing guitar.

What pick are you using? Love the content :)

OK OK. For now I am aiming to be rythmic guitar...so I start my practice at 2PM and finish at 4 or 6PM...My practice is basically chord progression and chords shape change. I use Key of: C, G, A, D, E and F in ( I vi iii V I) or (I vi ii V I). I practice with a metronome (use the app Metreonome Beats) with automatic increse of BPM. All that for at least 15 minutes...Of course I take breaks to relax the arms..after that I practice playing along songs with basic chords progressions...But as a warm up I do cromatic scales, pentatonic scales and the spider walk. That's my routine I'll keep it for the next 4 years..But what you suggest me. Remember, for now I'm just aiming to be rythmic guitar (like Frusciante or Malcom Young)

Your sleeves are dope.

It's 5:26 a.m. here in Brazil and I'm watching a video of another man losing sleep because of guitar

I woke up and practiced everyday at 4am. Now I'm homeless because my neighbors and apartment management kicked me out of the building. Thanks Bernth.

Even the best of the best can be much better. I can't wait to see bernth in 20 years being the most technically proficient guitar player of all time.

Big respect
