Thank you
interesting
Even not being a beginner, we see the "basic" stuff with new eyes and always learn some details we didn't earlier. Learning is a circle and everytime we review "old" lessons we don't bother with basic difficulties and pay attention to the details.
@@kilroywashere1828 oh yes, sometimes he says beginner and I see me, after 25 years practicing guitar thinking "oh man, I will never make it"
I'm not bragging but I've been on guitar since I was 16, I've learned all styles and techniques of guitar it was fun learning and mastering everything of it,but still never stops learning 🔥🍻👌
We all learn different stuff on guitar at different times, and learn a lot of different things also. So a lesson might not be basic, it could just be certain info that a guitarist might not have seen. There is so much about how to play guitar in this world, so many styles, songs, etc.
@@enteid.ashura7737 I'm on that journey now i started at 17 and mostly played fingerstyle so now I'm going back to learn all the techniques i never needed like sweep picking and pinch harmonics. It feels like tying one hand behind my back but i know it'll be worth it
Going back k to basics does help a ton
I'm determined to learn this technique and I'm making some progress thanks to your videos. I just turned 65 years old and there are additional challenges, like when I realized that I have a lot of bad habits that are older than you!
Been at 30 years completely self taught have the same problem
@@michaelblack9458 Yeah, back in the pre-tab days when I started playing, we had one grouchy old man that taught flamenco guitar in my small town. After one lesson where he taught me to tune my guitar was it for me. I learned by watching/playing with others, and becoming adept at dropping the needle on the guitar solo. I wore out countless cassette decks rewinding/fast forwarding! Oh the pain! Guitar theory kind of came along after the fact, and in bits and pieces because there just wasn't a lot of sources for theory related to guitar, other than classical where you had to read music. So yeah, it was easy to pick up bad habits because we didn't have Bernth to straighten us out! Rock on...
I learned primarily by watching other people live and trying to copy my older brother who only new riffs I didn't attempt leave playing until I've been playing for about a decade
@Tenebrae Thanks man! I've always tried to learn things outside of my comfort zone. Keeps my playing fresh, and it's good for the brain! Celebrating my 50th year gigging. Now, if I could just get someone to tote my rig...
How's the sweep picking coming?
I've been messing around with guitars for nearly 20 years and am looking to get more serious about it.
I want to be able to shred but so far in trying it doesn't seem possible for me. Bad habits and technique doesn't help any.
I'm 55 years old. Grew up trying to learn malmsteen licks in the 80's. But I love these shredding videos. You are so fluid and precise. Adding you to my favorite guitarists/teachers of all time. You have an amazing gift on guitar that I wish more of the world could appreciate like I do. Thank you.
I recommend using synester gates solos as a sweeping example. His way of sweeping has multiple genres included in the album city of evil. The song I'm working on is MIA.
Thats a great tune...and a wild solo
Yeah, I want to learn save me, wish me luck
Same! I found the sweeping section at the end of the solo to 'Heretic' from HTTK is a great intermediate sweep example with different shapes that isn't too fast
@@Nitenman exercise 1 has a close shape to the first sweeping lick in the solo for almost easy
shepherd of fire has some good sweeping patterns.
This is exactly my hang up with sweep picking. The bottom and top are defined, with those sloppy ghost notes in between. I haven’t put lots of effort into it until now, so it’s exciting to hear that this is how you began as well. Practice and instructors break boundaries
I'm a perpetual advanced beginner I guess. Guitar is my zen. Working on things like this is a form of focused meditation for me. Thanks for all you do!
You're incredible !
Is it bad that all I hear is Avenged Sevenfold? 😂
Average solo in A7x
Hail to the king is the reason im here
@@conorcampbell2109 thats the exact reason im here too lmao 🤘
Not only do I remember 'Stabwound' very well, I also grew up in the same town as these guys. I've worked with two of their early drummers, one of them being a buddy of mine. One day he gave me their demo 'cassette tape' and I was blown away. He invited me to one of their rehearsals in a basement so I could sit in and watch them practice. It was quite something to watch. So disciplined, and unbelievable instrumental skills. It's so well deserved how Necrophagist became an icon in their genre.
just here to thank you, trying to learn Tornado of Souls' Solo right now and it has been quite the inspiration, like it's been stuck in my head until I learn the whole thing
I haven't played for 3 years I can still play but I'm hella sloppy. Thank you so much for this, hope I get better again
You are my guitar hero Bernth. I've been a Rhythm guitarist for years, but I'm focusing on being a lead guitarist now, and getting to your level would be a dream!
I’ve been hitting my sweeps HARD to play the solo in From Nothing by Reflections. Six string diminished sweeps through three inversions at 240 bpm, it’s fuckin ruthless. I’m taking all the help I can get and I’m so glad you’re uploading stuff that’s applicable 😅🙏
"Deep down I always knew that it's just a trick..."
My entire guitar technique. Lots of people think I'm good. But I know the truth. Gotta get real skills now though.
This is coming from someone who is attempting to sweep for the first time. The first practice is good, but I would recommend to try the major arpeggio rather than the minor first, it helped me and maybe it will help you 😁👍
This actually really helped me. i did this arpeggio shape with 190 bpm metronome for 15 min every day for a week and now i can sweep pick, not perfectly but yeah
About how experienced were you before? Trying to gauge whether this is something worth attempting yet
@@Dclerkin17 i play gitar for like 2 years now
@@Dclerkin17 if you wanna learn it you just need to stick to it, and do it till you succeed
Than you man this is the only technique I need to get down. Almost 30 years and still can’t do it. Not ashamed. I can write songs and record them do vocals and play bass as well as tapping out my percussion section without a metronome. So I know timing is ESSENTIAL and has to be perfect. But this is what I desperately need to learn and perFECT!
Im just starting with sweep picking, my inspiration was parihas from sylosis. Tysm for providing me with all these exercises, they are really helping me
I had been playing on the same shitty guitar and amp for over a decade. Finally upgraded my gear and actually have different sound effects! I'd always stuck to jazz for the most part. Im excited to practice shredding techniques. I've got a strong grasp on music theory and your videos have been helping me a lot. Thank you much!
Muhammed is such an insane guitarist.
I wanted to get a Xiphose just because he played one.
He's truly a genius musician, after I'm listening Advanced Corpse Tumour, Diminished to Be and Fermented Offal Discharge that's the first time in my life I want to learn fast and precise sweep picking, he's also inspired me to push myself in terms of music writing and practice
3 days after finding this video and I am genuinely already making progress with my sweeping. I can't thank you enough daddy Bernth.
The thing that inspires me to get better at guitar is Polyphia... at first I thought I was aiming too high but their stuff isn't actually that bad. It's just fundamentals + teleportation. I learnt the ego death riff but now want to learn something with sweep picking in it (like the second half of Ego Death... or 40oz)
Dude fuckin stabwound is incredible and the solo, while not nearly as technical as their other ones is gloriously filthy and by far my favorite
I'm not a sweeper, most guitarist sound terrible sweeping. Bernth you actually do it extremely well, that is rare in my opinion.
you are the best teacher on YT Bernth !
Awesome video and lessons! Can’t wait to download the Patreon course. Just the final lesson you showed does look a bit scary… 😅. Gonna be fun, as always! Thanks for all your great lessons!
Currently practicing Caprice 24 even though I'm a beginner. Thank God I found this vid.
I don't even play metal but I'm going to learn this, I'm determined
So glad you made this vid! Learning some sweep parts for children of bodom songs “bed of razors” and “warheart” but somewhat similar but I’m a beginner at them so any lessons will definitely help 🤘🏻
If you want to practice sweeping in Children of Bodom's songs I suggest you to check Kissing the shadows solo. It's really hard
@@cobEnjoyerBed of Razors already enough for starting point, kissing the shadows is way too advanced for many people, even Alexi sometimes didn't play like the studio version and completely improvised
I need this sweeping techniques because of canon rock thank you so much for your free tutorial
I improve my sweep also forgetting about my fretting hand and relax it, then roll the fingers to the sweep and the pick will do the sweep(pendulum) motion automatically
Excellent technique u r using! Muscle memory is a great asset but thumb placement and proper pick and striking tempo is just as valuble
@@hobronerhobroner1848 true, that comes first, if not you cannot relax at all, at least for me…
01:04 ok i need a cat for sweeping ;)
love this. I don't recommend watching on way to work though because immediately you wanna be back home with your hands on your guitar.
Wait ...is that cat tought you how to sweep ?
this is what i exactly needed, i always wanted to sweep pick smoothly when i started. and i m stil hoping to do it
You totally described my struggles with arpeggios, it’s uncanny. Apparently I’m a typical hack on guitar haha
Been playing for 15 years and my impatience caused me to need to go back to basics.
Great!! Could you make a video of how to make gallops like John Schafer from Iced Earth? He has a very rare technique to make infernal gallops.
Great lesson - You are a guitar playing beast!
STABWOUND! That song alone got me into tech death
Brilliant lesson, thanks. Hopefully it’ll help me get passed this huge block in my playing.
i got obsessed with stabwound a long time ago, that's why i started playing guitar 😂
Gonna try and learn Altitudes in the future
Bernth your music inspires me
funnily enough i came here for guidance with learning that very Necrophagist lick lmao
good video, bro
The H.R. Giger is my dream guitar. I would love the chance to own one, I've been waiting since it came out, like 25+ years now. Beautiful guitar I hope one day I will have one.
Day 1:80BPM/160BPM
Day 2:90BPM/200BPM
Day 3: 100BPM/210BPM
All I want is to be able to play Jason Becker, but after the few years I played, Practicing almost feels pointless.
This video actually helps get me outta that mindset, genuinely. Been stuck in it for a few years now.
Very good lesson Bernth. Sweep and alternate pick exercise I use is Machine (solo fill in) by Born of Osiris.
I LOVE Stabwound haha, blast from the past
I am doing exact the same kind of sweeps rn, the deadnote stuff, but i listen to a lot of bach and alot of yngwie malmsteen, and try to work on the notes in between.
Great lesson , Bernth. I have been hoping for more exercises chaining sweeps together and including lead lines. I need more of this.
learn the opening solo in 'tempting time' by animals as leaders
My approach is to play the hardest songs, with metronome from the slowest speed, first getting all the notes right, then gradually building speed (slowly) and sometimes I push Myself way too hard to challenge myself and break my limit. And when I struggle to play smooth and clean at those very high speeds, I go back to to slow metronome again and I build it up again. And repeat the whole process over and over again and again.
And the results are far too sweet.
I didn't even expected to give these good results.
But this way works for me.
Gonna use these exercises to learn the sweeps at the end of Sentient 6 by Nevermore :)
Bernth, is that one of the h.r. Geiger Ibanez? It looks like his work. All time favorite artist. Well... art artists that is. Guitartist- new word lol, my favorite guitartist currently would be Bernth. He has helped break me out of a 30 year plateau. So big, huge thank you+1000x!
My white whale was trying to learn the intro to Lake Bodom. I never did, but hopefully as a member of your Patreon I'll build my skills enough.
Thank you for posting this I have the problem of dead notes when sweep picking too
Thanks teacher I'm playing guitar 25 years ago on a culture riff but sweep picking is not good in my hands ,very hard to conquer the scales 😂 as I watch your guitar lesson is very good
great sweep picking techniques exercise from you.loved and enjoyed your lesson.thanks a lot for it.
My inspiration is Tornado of souls. Prove me wrong
haha bro you are describing my problem perfectly; this is amazing, you are exactly what I've been looking for.
only 45 secs in, already know this gonna be agrwat video
This is what im looking for !!! THANKS BERNTH🤙🔥🔥
I liked a lot the exercises. Thanks. Cheers from Perú.
Thank you
Luv it when he sweeeps
The opening arpeggio is from born of osiris machine too I think
1:51 saving this for later
Thank You Master Bernth for the info👏👏
Omg !!!!!!! This is actually such a quality video
Best teacher watching you from IRAN🇮🇷🤘🏻
Good friend sweeping
헐 번스 형ㅜㅜ 한글로 까지 !! 고마워요 !!
Thank you 😢
I always stayed away from sweeping because I saw it as an advanced technique, and I simply wasn't into the sound it produces. Let me tell you that even if you are not gona put sweep arpeggios and licks into your repertory because it's simply not your style, learning it is fundamental to your right hand technique.
Switching to adjacent strings becomes cleaner and more efficient. Also, I developed the bad habit of using the elbow too much on my legato/alternate picking. Alternating between "from the wrist" alternate picking and sweep picking exercices, I started to develop a much cleaner and more relaxed technique, as I began to be able to use my elbow to do the string switching much more effortlessy, as the wrist focuses on plucking.
Hey Bernth, I will buy the sweeping masterclass course soon.
Please consider making a tapping masterclass course as well!
bruhhh, i wanted to practice sweep exactly because of that song and i clicked your video just to realize its the exact same sweep 😭😭😭😭
Been olaying for two years, but not consistently due to depression, hope i can learn how to sweep pick soon :') i feel like im so behind on everything
Dude, I would be happy being able to play your “sloppy fake arpeggios”. I’m currently at arpeggi NO. Thanks for all your posts I’m get it ;)
I think I'm gonna start with the main riff to O.D. by polyphia to practice sweeping as well, mostly cause I love it's sound.
BERNTH your timing is amazing both uploading videos and playing guitar!! 😆I just started learning how to sweep a few days ago and now you upload this. Thank you so much for your knowledge!!
Same
In order to Psych yourself in executing a correct sweep picking technique. always think about a broom. All you have to do is push and pull the pick smoothly while gliding along the strings. The lick that really helped me achieve this technique would be Symphony Xs The Damnation game. Sorry Bernth hahaha but excellent playing though!
Alaska by between the buried and me was my motivation to sweep pick
Necrophagist is the band that got me into sweep picking
appreciate your video, thank you
Great video! Any chance on a tremolo picking lesson!?
You're the man dude!
Great advice. 👍
Kerenn euyy mang bernth,mugi sukses sareng sehat

What delay are you using? It sounds amazing!
Excellent playing. Incredibly tight. Very impressed. I just feel like the level of delay is very high and can be distracting. I know because I'm guilty of that myself.
Best teacher
At 1:35 ish he's talking about which song(s) inspired you to learn the force. Mine is "Good Point, Wandering Bear" by ConsidertheSource - check em out
Very 🆒 Bernth I'll try these out
Thanks
My biggest frustration was synchronisation with the left fingers and right hand sweeping up n down.
A good inspiration should be altitudes or images by jason becker and marty friedman. You’ll be practicing those for a while 😂
I’ve only been playing for a few months but i really wanna learn that one fast (i think its a sweep) bit from painkiller from Judas Priest 😎
so close to 1 mil
