#311 - OUTDATED Guitar Exercises to STOP in 2024
Added 2024-02-09 15:30:02 +0000 UTCMy friends, you voted for another lesson featuring helpful finger relaxation exercises - so I have some killer workouts to share with you that could replace some exercises that you've been doing for a bit too long :)
Here are your practice files for this week (play-along videos, tabs, guitar pro files, backing tracks): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B_cBd1svosHHKY8CifYHx6iXA1mxNWq3?usp=sharing
These exercises have a special focus on finger technique, but a lot of them have cool picking twists as well. Just make sure to try to mimic what you see on screen when it comes to the curled fingers and distance to the fretboard. Enjoy! :)
As always, I also made a Dropbox folder for you: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/g94t27944gr1srg8kprw8/h?rlkey=l5swq866zxy5bd01zq7b4xclu&dl=0

2024-04-16 04:35:41 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the guitar pro files. Putting a little money towards my practice set up has helped me get a lot more focused practice out of a shorter amount of time.

2024-02-19 06:52:59 +0000 UTCHey there, you can just download the guitar pro file (Bernth makes them for all lessons) and change the tuning of the guitar/bass to your tuning. The guitar pro files feature full instrumentation and you just need the guitar pro software or the free alternative tuxguitar to open them. Hope that helps! Team Bernth

2024-02-19 06:51:54 +0000 UTCIs there a way to transcribe these excercises to Eb? I don't want to have to retune my guitar just to play these excercises and adding +1 to every fret is kind of hard.

2024-02-18 23:55:12 +0000 UTCMe: finishes playing Synnysters gate's nobody solo at the full 150 BPM finally this week (after 3 weeks of practicing) and feeling great. Bernth: here's a simple work out to try. Haha... Andddd... It's these moments I realize I suck and lack basic fundamentals because, for example, the minor chord workout, I sounded like a toddler on. 🤣🤣 Thank you so much my friend. I need to tighten my pinky and get better picking low to high and this is great for both areas!!

2024-02-16 02:15:02 +0000 UTCHi. I have noticed a potential bad habit that i have developed with my pinky. I do the various finger excercise s and improving with finger independence. But i noticed that on my pinky it tends to point in towards my other fingers and my calis seems to be towards the edge of the pinky finger. I have no idea how to straighten this out

2024-02-12 14:25:36 +0000 UTCHey Steve, there seems to have been a Patreon glitch that's resolved now - so this problem should be fixed with the next one! Hope that helps, Team Bernth.

2024-02-12 09:53:51 +0000 UTCHey there, for playing back YouTube videos, please make sure to set your quality to 1080p instead of auto or anything lower than 720p for the best results. This is a standard HD YouTube upload :) Hope that helps, Team Bernth.

2024-02-12 09:52:42 +0000 UTCFor last three weeks cannot watch the main video on youtube, but can see the individual playalongs via ghe practice files, any idea, ps, not tech savvy.

2024-02-10 15:20:34 +0000 UTCNo it’s not the exercise its the lesson it self check it out!!!

2024-02-10 11:32:22 +0000 UTCHey there, thanks for your comment! We're assuming you are referring to the exercise play-along videos? We export them with medium bitrate so that students with any kind of internet connection can stream them without problems (and to keep the download size from exploding to multiple GB each week). Sometimes the Google Drive or Dropbox stream appears blurry, please make sure to download them to get a better quality :) Hope that helps, Team Bernth

2024-02-10 08:07:12 +0000 UTCOk why are these videos so blurry?? I feel like I'm going blind!!
Joe
2024-02-10 05:17:35 +0000 UTCSo many awesome exercises! Just when I think I’ve got one down there’s 20 more I want to do haha
