#154 - The 6 WORST Guitar Technique Mistakes (and 6 exercises to FIX them!)
Added 2021-02-26 14:01:02 +0000 UTCTime for a VERY special video! Since I posted the 'Top 5 Music Theory Tricks' video, I got many requests to do a similar summary lesson for guitar technique. This is the perfect starting point if you're new in the community or if you're currently working on improving your technique :)

Would you think this is a very first lesson I can start with for beginners?

2022-07-16 22:45:39 +0000 UTCI finally see what I've been doing wrong for speeding up my scale playing. Been going to college for the last three years minus 2020; for commercial performance and even my professor never caught what I was doing wrong or even explained how to speed up or achieve what I want in guitar playing. Thank you Bernth for these exercise technics. I'll be adding to my practice routine!

2021-03-05 17:26:02 +0000 UTCI had often wondered exactly where to put my finger on the fretboard and thought that almost in the middle was best.....this is a great tip.......yet another one from a great teacher, thanks Bernth.

2021-02-27 00:20:20 +0000 UTCThat string bending exercise is a game changer for me. Seems so obvious now! Really appreciate you sharing it!
2021-02-26 20:49:43 +0000 UTCGreat video! Do you have any advice for preventing flat fingers when doing stretches?

2021-02-26 19:57:28 +0000 UTCGreat video Bernth! My biggest problems at the moment are: 1. My pinky blocking the string below the actual one. By the way, the "spider" excersive is extremely difficult to me, I cannot leave the pinky finger in the string. 2. Both hands sincronization, i feel like the right hand is going faster than the left hand 3. The position of the pick I hope with your excercies I will get better :)
2021-02-26 16:19:12 +0000 UTCGreat reminders of the exercises out there - not to mention - you've given the formula of a great practice workout overall
