There is no way in hell I could do that, like just sit there for what, hours? Just picking up and down, up and down. Maybe it's my ADD? But I just can't do that, I would fall asleep or get bored and put my guitar down. I practice by playing, like I actually focus to improve while playing. I know no songs either, maybe one day, there will be no singing though.

@crimadellaphone9374 2 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah, I remember watching a video a long time ago of some highly respected teacher with a crowd of people he was teaching. He said that it's really important to have independent control of both hands, somehow it's supposed to improve you alot as well as making you able to achieve faster and more accurate playing. He had them just rest their fret hand on the neck muting the strings and working on picking with no fretting. Then also switch it up and work with just the fretting hand, it's supposed to allow you to develop more complex rhythms and stuff. I tried it but it didn't last long, that whole ADD thing.

This needs to be a weekly series! While this is obviously “beginner” stuff, this video gives us a real-world view of what a beginner guitarist can expect to go through to gain the fundamental skills to eventually shred. It will be very interesting and exciting to watch her progression over time under the tutelage of a master instructor.

Thank you Bernth (: i know a little basics and then some but I do love challenging my brain! I feel like my brain has figured out a few of my favorite tunes. Without your help I wouldn’t have been able to do this so thank you. I am failing at learning chords , triads. I know a few two or three note camp fire chords, which help me play my own stuff but still learning all the notes on the fretboard to help solo which I enjoy a lot more then camp fire chords. But I need to know both... she did very well, way better then myself, great student and teacher. Great video!

Hey Bernth, I stumbled across your channel when I looked for some tips on shredding last week. About 3 hours later I joined you on patreon. Goooosh it's just so good and so packed incredibly good content. I also really love the way you show and describe everything that you do, so you'll probably be my guitar teacher for a looong time hehe. I hope you agree with that;-) You really got a new fan here. And now it's sooo lovely to see you with your girlfriend, I'm really enjoying this video. Thank you for everything you do. It is so inspiring to me. Liebe Grüße aus Köln (habe gesehen, du hattest vor ein paar Wochen einen Auftritt hier, nur wenige Minuten von meiner Wohnung entfernt - bin gestern Abend am Gebäude 9 vorbei gejoggt - daamn, next time I'll be there) Tobias PS: It won't be long until I get into your 10 Steps to Modern Shredding Course.

i've been playing for a few weeks now, and find your channel EXTREMELY informative, but most of the material is above my skill set now. This video alone has been the most helpful as i can see a "teacher" working and adjusting a "student" from the natural mistakes they make. When you show the example of what should be done, it isn't as helpful as seeing what to adjust and the why behind it. What an underrated channel.

I have been playing "Open handed" on the picking hand for all my time with the reversed angle of my pick. This is actually the first time I have heard anyone say that they have done this, so I appreciate the parallel! I will give the closed hand a try and see how that works. Trying to correct 28 years of bad habits (yikes!). Been struggling with some of the shred exercises of my own and maybe this is what I need to improve. Thanks for the nuggets of information!

@MrGranitealchemist 2 жыл бұрын

I played open hand for 16 years and recently switched to closed hand and at first it felt so stiff and I felt like I lacked the emotional expression in each note but eventually my wrist loosened up and now I can play much faster and cleaner and over all things are much easier now. Keep shredding Tim!

That was great. Hopefully I can say I'm not a beginner guitarist, but some of your videos feel way beyond me. Videos like this still help to check my technique. I've been doing your most recent course on hand synchronisation and the 5 day block method is going well. I missed a day, but overall can definitely feel progression in my skills. This helps develop overall confidence and inspires me to keep learning so thanks for the great content 🤘

@nixternal 2 жыл бұрын

I had to go outside of my box (country, bluegrass, jazz, and blues) to shredding to work on hand synchronization and I'm glad I came across your channel a month or so back. I'm going to add these exercises to the ones you had showed in previous videos. This video was perfect timing, as I have been doing the one where you hit each note 4 times in the 5th position minor pentatonic. After a while it get's old if you know what I mean, so these will make that 10 minutes of practice so much better every evening. So thank you for this! And who knows, maybe one day I will shred \m/
