Hey there, you just have to download the tabs and guitar pro files (Bernth makes these for each video, there's a link to them in each post) to see the exact notes that Bernth is playing! Hope that helps, Team Bernth

2024-02-19 06:59:21 +0000 UTCHi Bernth, it would be helpful if you sometimes tell us on what note you start the exercice, I see you but it is still difficult even at 50bpm Lots of love thanks Jackie

2022-11-20 03:29:47 +0000 UTCAye. wish I would have posted when I first started. It was my first 4 NPS pattern I've tried. It was definitely lacking at like 100-120 bpm, and inaudible at 130+. Now I can get a clean 130 and the notes make sense up to 160 and a little at 170. It's been a good 5 or 6 days I believe

2022-07-13 01:15:31 +0000 UTC8th July 100bpm comfortably, 110bpm after a few tries (120bpm was really sloppy so can't count that) [took a break from guitar due to travelling] 25th July 110bpm comfortably, 120bpm but only while palm muting for some reason... not sure why palm muting made this easier, maybe due to restricting unnecessary pick movement? 29th July took a few attempts but I got 120bpm clean. Was tensing too much and had to take a walk for a few minutes and come back to it. I was too out of sync at 130bpm to claim that tempo but progress is progress... 4th August managed 130bpm finally. Out of curiosity I pushed past that and decided to ignore being sloppy to see how fast I can theoretically play, it seems my limitation is keeping my picking hand consistent around 160-170bpm. Below that it's just making sure my fingers are synchronised.

2022-06-05 02:13:54 +0000 UTCFor a guitarist like Bernth, it doesn't matter;) he can play licks and solos irrespective of where he keeps the guitar, even if the guitar is at his back with his eyes closed.

2022-05-31 19:25:02 +0000 UTCI suggest looking at the pick technique, look at his lessons sometimes we need to go back to move forward 🤘🏻

May 25th - Day 7 - 110 bpm was solid and almost got 120 May 26th - Day 8 - 120 bpm barely May 27th - Day 9 - 130 bpm but bad there. 120 was pretty good. May 28th - Day 10 - 120 bpm May 29th - Day 11 - 130 bpm a bit better and went through to 150 bpm May 31st - Day 12 - 120 bpm June 1st - Day 13 - 130 bpm and went through to 160 bpm second rep of 130 was pretty good. June 3rd - Day 14 - 130 bpm June 4th - Day 15 -120 bpm tired today. June 5th - Day 16 - 130 bpm - Worked on relaxing at higher tempos - hard to do June 6th - Day 17 - 140 bpm got bits of 160 June 8th - Day 18 - 140 bpm June 9th - Day 19 - 140 bpm June 11th - Day 20 - 140 bpm June 13th - Day 21 - 140 bpm June 14th - Day 22 - 150 bpm June 15th - Day 23 - 150 bpm June 16th - Day 24 - 150 bpm and struggled through to to 180 bpm June 17th - Day 25 - 150 bpm got through to 180 bpm and bit were ok

2022-05-17 21:30:21 +0000 UTCThis is a very fun exercise! The first day I could get to about 100 and now I fall at 140. I keep trying to hold on after I hit 140 on the faster tempos so I could get a feel of what my hands are supposed to be feeling and I think that really helps me understand the technique better!

2022-05-14 02:11:07 +0000 UTCHey there, yes that's correct - using a foot stool really helps :) I like to work with both positions but the classical position helps with stretching & technique!
Bernd Brodträger
2022-05-13 11:21:46 +0000 UTCI thnik Bernth is playing with a guitar foot stool. I am playing with that as wel for the last couple of months and it helped me a lot. It is very usefull because there is almost no difference in standing and sitting anymore. I think Bernth covers that in one of his video's. Guitar classical pose or something like that. Cheers
ErikPlaysGuitar
2022-05-13 08:22:55 +0000 UTCSo i noticed that Bernth has his guitar positioned between his knees and i have mine on the outside of my right knee. Does this affect playing better for different positions?
Holden Soefje
2022-05-12 22:34:54 +0000 UTCHighly recommend the alternate picking master class course because it allowed me to skip straight to level 6 on this exercise and feel comfortable around 140-150 bpm. Thank you Bernth

Austin Wells
2022-05-09 01:06:43 +0000 UTCThis is deceptively hard. I was able to get it smoothly at 140 last night. 150 was a bit rough. This is a great exercise.
Sean Entrikin
2022-05-08 17:17:17 +0000 UTCBernth: this is SO MUCH FUN!!! I am not used to play 4 notes per one string. Feels like a Fox in Socks tongue twister. My fingers can't blab such blibber blubber! :) May8 @90 bpms; May9 @90 still, May11 @100 up to @120; May 12 @130 (not bad); May13 @150 bpms; ...
F. Javier Arze
2022-05-08 10:26:34 +0000 UTCthis is good one, would nice to have the slowly increased bpm on the other practice exercises, going from 50 to 100 to 150 is quite a big jump and i think it holds me back from increasing speed.

2022-05-07 22:22:12 +0000 UTCReally a fun part Bernth.... today I gave up at 100... will be better the next day! ...just keep up guys!
Balázs Takács
2022-05-07 13:22:14 +0000 UTCThanks for asking, Jason! The arm/wrist is always in contact with the instrument, I lose control as soon as that isn't the case anymore - but I'd have to analyze if there's a difference in pressure, thanks for the idea/observation :)

Bernd Brodträger
2022-05-07 06:18:49 +0000 UTCIt starts falling apart for me around 90 bpm. This is a fun one but the stretch is tough on those high frets lol
Austin Wells
2022-05-06 21:47:33 +0000 UTCThe brutality when you realize you have only 21 frets :x I pitch corrected the backing track 2 semitones down though and play it from C rather than D and it works fine. Day 1: 60 bpm, 70 if I really concentrate, overall quite sloppy, dead notes all over the place Day 2: Consistent 70, 80 if I push it. Really struggling to move my thumb in the back Day 3: 80-90
Sia
2022-05-06 21:39:51 +0000 UTCI'll try this tonite. keep in mind that guitar setup is important to play fast. strings need to be lowered to increase speed.

2022-05-06 20:45:12 +0000 UTCHow do I access the guitar picking master class?
Ronen
2022-05-06 18:06:26 +0000 UTCThanks! For this lesson! It’s interesting how the pick slanting technique develops above 120 BPM.
Stefan Schönebeck
2022-05-06 17:39:56 +0000 UTCIt looks like you are resting your forearm less as the tempo increases. Is your forearm touching your guitar at all at 200 BPM? Is that something you are conscious of when you are practicing?
Jason Starr
2022-05-06 16:49:37 +0000 UTCMade my hands ache just watching it as it got faster. BRAVO

2022-05-06 14:58:12 +0000 UTCNice! Looking forward to this one. Be going super slow trying to develop a solid foundation. Thanks Bernth!!!
Rob Lee
2022-05-06 14:42:34 +0000 UTCSeems like a good entertaining exercise to work with. I got to 140bpm before things started getting sloppy, will need to work on this!
Matt Martin
2022-05-06 14:29:32 +0000 UTCIt will take me a year at least to get to 120bpm with that I think Sounds awesome can’t wait to have a go I been looking for a 4 nps lick
