Time for this month's wishlist winner! You guys and girls voted for a 30-Day Beginner Theory Course - so I'm very happy to present it to you, just in time for the weekend :)

This course is meant to teach you the basics of music theory in just 30 days so that you can either dive into more advanced topics on the page or call it quits since you know about all important fundamentals already :) I did my best to explain everything in detail in the instructionals, hope you also have tons of fun with the exercises!

Hello Bernth, is this course the same as the #169 - Fretboard Mastery Online Course (Patreon Exclusive)? It seems to have very similar exercises

Hi Bernth, awesome course. I already mastered this, where should i head now? Which else course i should continue?

Ok this is something I have not understood as to WHY every guitar channel does this!! WHYYYYYYYYY do you show the guitar opposite of what you are doing with YOUR guitar?? Why not show the guitar thread the exact same position as what we are seeing you play?! It would be so much easier for us visual guys!!!!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hey there, please find all guitar parts and exercises written down with great care in the link in the post (Google Drive/Dropbox) - when it comes to music theory, our students mostly practice with the guitar pro files and tabs, since that is the easiest and fastest method to not just repeat what you see on a screen, but to internalize the underlying theory :) Hope this helps, Team Bernth

Thank you so much for your hard work Bernth!

Thank you Bernth. I needed a touch of theory in your awesome 30 days courses format. Thank you

It's no surprise that your teaching and materials are right were I'm trying to go. Thanks so much!

It's two months past Christmas and we still get presents! 🥳🤘

When you played the C Maj 7 arpeggio, I immediately thought of Stranger Things. So, of course, I need to practice this :-)

Anonymous

By the way... if using a different tuned guitar... do you think one should also learn the notes you talk about instead of the real ones one is playing and (later on) just transpose it in your head, or should you practice it as the exact same note that you are indeed playing?

I have an app called Guitario that I've been using for about a year now to help me memorize the fretboard, and it really works well for me. It's also free.

Thank you so much 🙏 this is a special one stuff🎸

Just what i need! Thanks a lot Bernth 😎

After sitting with this for a few days now, I can honestly I've improved quite a bit. I have been very "tab-restricted" in the past and it feels like just learning the actual notes on each string instead of "5, 7, 9" is something I should have done years ago. I mean, I know spots here and there and can find the notes - but I've never been able to pick any note and go "G". Quite embarrassing, really... :/ But now's the time! :)

Hello! I discovered your YouTube channel a few weeks ago, and decided to go for the Patreon channel. Good stuff. Do you have a recommendation which course to follow up this one with? Thanks!

In case you'd like to follow up with more theory, I suggest checking out the intermediate course: https://www.patreon.com/posts/220-intermediate-64996637 Hope this helps :)

Hi Bernth, In the (quite quick) modes workout routine: - do u mute the higher strings with your index finger? Or do u not touch the higher strings as in the spider exercise? - do u mute the higher strings with your palm? I tried to investigate it in the mid tempo video but it is quite hard to see the “hidden” magic to play as clean as possible, especially when speeding this exercise up. Kind regards Stefan

bernth
>>83470850

I'd love to do a video on muting techniques, I'll add it to the next wishlist :) But there's nothing too special going on and no 'secret', it just came with practice in my case and I never actively worked on it! Still, great idea to analyze it - maybe I can do a full episode on this topic if the community votes for it :)

I wouldn't say embarrassing, I'd say this is far too common though. I'm slowly trying to learn where notes are and hoping block 1 will help.

This is an under discussed topic. Muting is soooo important. I have taught it to students many times.

Hey Bernth. In the last 5 day block - the arpeggios - would you recommend spending the 30 mins each day practising just one position for the triads and 7ths of the chords in Cmaj, or would you practise all 3 positions for each every day? Or what what do you recommend? Cheers!

Hey Bernth, hey eveyone, I have a question regarding the "Fretboard Visualisation Exercises" PDF (the first 5 days). It says C Major Scale for each variation, but isn't that just a Major Scale? Why is it called C Major specifically for each variation and not for example E-Major for exercise 3 scale position 1, since we start with the note E? I have googled a little bit around the subject and the talk is about the root note, so I am a little bit confused. Of what I understood from my google searches, the note what you start with is the root and from there on come the variations major or minor. What am I missing here? Could you please help or maybe someone in the community? Would be much appreciated. I hope this is not a stupid question. And thank you Bernth for this amazing content.

bernth

Hello Ronnie, it's important to learn scales all across the neck and not always just from the root - also, it's a beginner's misconception that a scale always needs to be played from the root. When you map out the C major scale all across the neck and across all strings, you won't always have C as a starting point! Hope this helps :)

@bernth, is the intention that we just practice each exercise on each day, one for each of the 5 days, or is it your intention that we do all 5 exercises each day for 5 days?

bernth
>>88194638

Honestly, whatever suits your current level and understanding best! If you feel like you have to tackle them one by one you can definitely do that - if you feel 'underwhelmed' or not challenged enough one day, you can work on all of them as well :)

After 20 years playing and once being in a signed band I am going back to basics again! I never did any music theory so always found I plateaued a lot. my kids now want me to shred again so have gone back to the beginning!. Thanks Benrth

Ooooh, ok I understand, that acutally makes sense (and obvious now that you say it ^^). Thank you soo much for your time to answer this question, man. It is so much appreciated!

I have one string left to memorize, I have quite the turtle speed here. I keep getting sucked into the legato exercise, because they are so freaking amazing. I already see the improvement swapping over to my alternate picking timings and cleanliness of notes played. Truly already love this platform!

Same tragedy here, Andrew. Can playback tracks up and down, however, a sucka at musicianship, which is completely missing the the target, isn't it?

Anonymous
>>88289208

Haha great, I´m doing the same! I always relied on my classical guitar background. It helped, but it plateaued me, too.

Yer I was just watching a few of Bernths videos and a light bulb went off in my head. I was always the guy that practised for like 8 hours a day to get good but the effort in writing and the time working up and down the neck was always a problem. After a couple of days I am seeing the neck so differently. Really w8sh I did this at the beginning lol

Let's get strated! These courses are jsut awesome! Thank You Bernth!
