Which books would you suggest to all guitar players out there? Did you read some of the books from today's video? Make sure to share it in the comments! :)
Hey bernth, awesome video brother, really appreciate your work. As a new player, ive not heard of the common most important books that everyone should know about, would u please be able to name them here.
When I was younger I did a lot of wrist exercises I read books from Hugh Hefner. Now I’m older I know longer practice those routines I’ve graduated to practicing everyday on the guitar and have seen tremendous results thanks to Bernth 🤘🏽
@@sugamdeka8824 I have a marshall stack but practise unplugged 99% of the time. Any truly good player doesn't need an amp to sound good. Paul Gilbert could shred away unplugged all day long and still sound great.
i read the first 2 books because you suggested them in the past. really amazing and made a huge difference in my life. sadly we didn´t get to know each other during conservatory. Those words of wisdom you´re spreading right now whould´ve really helped me a few years ago. thx for your work Bernth!
I have read the compound effect before, I need to read it again. Nice to hear something besides this scale and this technique video. A book that inspired me was “Your broke because you want to be” Larry Winget is the author.I read it during a low point in my life, which ironically I am grateful I went through, and this book helped me get out of that low point and make changes that I apply to my life to this day, and I am not broke anymore, because I choose not to be!
I applied much of what you discussed for years and it has helped me greatly. Since switching from piano to guitar during the pandemic I definitely need some additional insight so I will read the compound effect. Excellent video man.
So I read the great Richard P. Feynman's autobiography and it doesn't necessarily cover the habits, but Feynman mentions another crucial aspect there: In the last chapter he talks about humbleness every scientist needs to have. It manifests itself in adhesion to your own method and not "rounding up" your results to the chart values. He spoke about quantum physics experiments, but I believe it perfectly translates to guitar and what every virtuoso (and I've seen you Bernth emphasize it on numerous occasions) should do. This being: you cannot play inconsistently and hope it will "slide". It usually won't. Even if it does though, it may admittedly benefit you, but in the long run it contributes to deterioriation of the art of music and just hurts the truth. I'm pleased to see that the flame doesn't die out and musicians don't allow themselves to make blunders. Remember it every time you struggle with a difficult technique or consistency in recording yourself: by temporarily slowing down the metronome or deleting an imperfect take to play it better you erect a majestic monument to the excellence of humankind and for the generations of music-lovers to come after you. Hope it keeps us all up in our day-to-day struggle...
Been Waking up at 5am for a month now, before I go to work to practice it's making me better and I concentrate better, Thanks for your lessons and awesome ideas, keep being a down to earth guy U ROCK!
Nicely done my friend. There's a reason you are the only online guru I follow. You are steeped in multifarious scholastics & it's evident in all of your videos. Best love, SM
Bernth, you are just an all around good person and great guitar teacher. I'm so glad that I found your channel and I appreciate every video you make. You're the best!!
Wow, Bernth! This video really caught me off guard. I have read all four of those books (some a few times) and could not agree more... They are essential to step up your discipline, focus, and habits. Great video as usual and thanks for mixing it up in such an inspirational way! Rock on!
I found the recommendations very useful. Discipline and motivation are what find the hardest while learning to play. I personally like the videos where you show some practice tips. Thank you so much!
I loved this video so much Bernth... It's been difficult to realize at times but greater breadth of knowledge will give you a greater depth of knowledge in any given field. And I truly believe book reading is becoming a lost art with all the new instant gratification media, and needs to be advocated for. Awesome video and great advice!
You read my mind Bernth, I was looking up guitar books to buy 2 days ago, and then I see this video get uploaded & see these would be very helpful to my practice routines (and life in general), thank you :)
Brother, spot on! These are all excellent books EVERYONE must read, regardless of whether they're musicians or not. I appreciate this video. Not enough people read.
Great recommendations! It's worth mentioning that the audio version of "can't hurt me" includes conversations between the narrator and David himself during the reading. The are a few pearls in that version. For you personally, I'd like to recommend Unscripted: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship by M. J. DeMarco which includes a very practical no-fluff approach to starting and growing your business in a way that detaches your personal availability from the income potential. Can't wait for some guitar related book recommendations, cheers!
Ah this is what I needed; Bernth hitting me with some motivational reads. I read the 2nd and 3rd already but I think I really need to kick this mindset I'm currently in; progressing but not as consistent or driven as I need to be. Going to read #4 then revisit the others! Thanks!
You're very inspiring... regarding the discipline book: Can you share you're daily routine? like for example: how early do you get up, eat breakfast, do you practice session etc etc.
Good selection. I'll look foward for those books. o/ Another good ref about the subject is: "Ultralearning" by Scott H. Young - It lists a lot of cases and processes used for intense learning end studying experience. Greetings from Brazil.
Bernth, you're fuckin' awesome... I love your videos, I think those helped me the most of all stuff I found in the internet. Anyways, would you consider doing a list of these books you mentioned at the beginning? I think many people would like to see this on your channel.
What you said talking about the first book is absolutely right but very hard, almost impossible, to do. I did it and now I am having a huge reward, but it costed years of hard work. I'm not talking about playing guitar or music in this case, but about my life, income and work: I began to study so hard that my parents couldn't believe it and my friends couldn't understand why I didn't spend the most of time with them having fun. Well, today, years later, I am a guitars collector (just for example I have 9 Les Paul custom shop), have a Maserati, a good but hard job and still play. Someone say I'm lucky. Yes, I am, but where were they when I was working hard every single day for years? Passion combined with discipline and determination are so important in your life...
@@Bernthguitar I hope it will be useful for younger guys. Of course, I'm not saying that having a sport car or lots of guitars has to be the real target in your life. They are just objects, and my principles are way more important than material things. The subject is how to practice your passion in a productive way. Bye and thanks for your videos!
"Outliers" by March Gladwell belongs in your library. Gladwell explores what it takes to become an "expert" and defines the traits and characteristics of an "Outlier". Clearly, good habits bolster the learning experience and satisfaction. Accomplishment feeds the beast! The perfect complement to Bernth's methodical, yet flexible approach to proficiency.
Thank you my brother, I think you are on point with suggesting books other than guitar books. There are so many books that help with mindset, I look forward to seeing more reading from you Mindset by Carol Dweck The brain that changes itself by Norman Doidge Harmonious awakening from under the shroud by Joseph Pessano Keep up the great work
Do you have any suggestions on a good "music theory" book to invest time in reading ? One that is possibly more interesting than others that would keep the reader motivated to finish the book ?
Harmony &Theory By Keith Wyatt & Carl Schroeder.A very good Book. Check also the CZcams Channel Ask The Guitar Coach - International Edition from Ioannis Anastasakis for Motivation.A Great teacher helped me a lot.
I’ve read 3 of the 4 books in the video. I have not read the Jocko book yet but I do have his other book “Extreme leadership”. I would definitely recommend “The success principles” by Jack canfield and “Good to Great” by Jim Collins
I’ve read the first two, also, and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of success/achievement - guitar or otherwise. Also, The 5am Club and One Minute Manager. It’s all about time management. People have to master this, as we are all dealt the same number of hours a day.
Just ordered The Compound effect and Atomic. Good starting point. 25 bucks for the 2.. I could easily blow that much in an afternoon on crap. Seems like a good investment. Thanks for the tips. Any good books on theory for guitar you would recommend?
We are always our worst enemy. We often create convenient failures paths before even starting anything. Let's quit looking for why we may fail at this, Lets look at what we have done, can do and overcome to continue. Nothing is what it is - What can it BE! "Giving in to get your way" is another great mental book. Seek Confluence.
Sir love your playing and teaching.. I have a question I want to know that should I learn new songs or should I practice all the exercises only? And which guitarist should I cover? Please reply it would make my day
One of my goals in music is to teach. Is there a video you've made or a book you've read that you could recommend? Also, just bought "Can't hurt me" after watching this.
Thank you for the sugestions so much, and for the time you take to make the videos, I wish I could help you via patreon, but currently I can't affort it. sorry by that, instead what I do is click like your videos and recommend your channel to my friends .
All fine brother? Your channel is very good, just missing authorize Portuguese subtitles. my name is David and I am from Brazil. Happy birthday!!! good guitar lessons.
Which books would you suggest to all guitar players out there? Did you read some of the books from today's video? Make sure to share it in the comments! :)
Hey bernth, awesome video brother, really appreciate your work. As a new player, ive not heard of the common most important books that everyone should know about, would u please be able to name them here.
Hey Bernth, can you make a video about your gear and about how to setup a guitar. Keep on rocking 🤟
@@gyanankurpatgiri4272 the best, this channel in my opinion is very very good
I love the tutorial
I find reading up on and practicing logic and problem solving skills to be good mental exercise that benefits you in other areas of your life.
Jordan Petersons "12 Rules for Life, An Antidote to Chaos"
Absolutely Amazing Book.
Rule 11 is by far my favorite! 😉
When I was younger I did a lot of wrist exercises I read books from Hugh Hefner. Now I’m older I know longer practice those routines I’ve graduated to practicing everyday on the guitar and have seen tremendous results thanks to Bernth 🤘🏽
😂😂😂
I practice in a very organized manner I don't have an amp right now so I do feel a bit demotivated but I don't let it affect my practice time!
Rip :/
Do you have access to a cheap interface and a free plugin or something?
Practising without an amp is the best way. If you can shred with clarity and cleanly unplugged then with an amp everything will seem effortless.
@@iluvyunie nope nothing at all
@@douglasnisbet1189 yeah that's what I keep in mind whilst practicing 😌 thanks bro ❤️
@@sugamdeka8824 I have a marshall stack but practise unplugged 99% of the time. Any truly good player doesn't need an amp to sound good. Paul Gilbert could shred away unplugged all day long and still sound great.
Thanks Bernth. I will read these interesting books ;)
Now i'm reading "Zen Guitar" and i recommend this book to everyone ;)

My absolute favorite is The Practice of Practice by Jonathan Harnom musician and guitarist. Highly recommended.

Great topic Bernth. I've just downloaded book 4 about discipline. I'll let you know how it goes!!
Awesome, yes keep us posted! 🙂🤘
Didn't know Bernth was a nerd🤓
Guilty as charged 😂
All guitar masters are nerds, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, ...
Might get these books, last two peaked my interest 🤙🏽
Loved your guiter playing sir
Great books. I've read all 4. The audio version of Can't Hurt Me is really good, too.
You read my mind Bernth, I was looking up guitar books to buy 2 days ago, and then I see this video get uploaded & see these would be very helpful to my practice routines (and life in general), thank you :)
Awesome recommendations! Jocko and Goggins are truly inspiring human beings.
Brother, spot on! These are all excellent books EVERYONE must read, regardless of whether they're musicians or not. I appreciate this video. Not enough people read.
Just picked up my first electric yesterday. Jackson 1986 made in San Dimas. I love the fretboard, its a great start
Wow! Great video. The Compound Effect really caught my attention. Thank you 🔥🔥
This was EXCELLENT!! Thank you ao much, and yes, more of this on the channel would be fantastic! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’m 58 and learn from your every one of your videos. Thanks for not having commercials every 2 minutes.
Great recommendations!
It's worth mentioning that the audio version of "can't hurt me" includes conversations between the narrator and David himself during the reading.

Good topic; Put yourself in the path of inspiration, and things get better.
Thank you..... This is awesome and I will check out these books.

Bernth, I suggest that you write a book (both printed and digital) on guitar exercises. Sell on Amazon. It will be a great success!
Thanks for the input 🙂🤘
