IMPORTANT UPDATE / VIP Club
🕑 Added 2020-07-27 13:01:03 +0000 UTCHello Patreon family, I hope you all have a great start into the week today :)
First of all, I'd like to THANK YOU for the amazing support over the last couple of months. As you might have noticed, life has changed dramatically for all full-time musicians as concerts/tours/festivals and most other projects have been canceled due to COVID-19 and are most likely not to return until 2022. Most venues are overbooked next year (everybody wants to get back out there) and most agencies still see tours/festivals as we know them as unrealistic in 2021. Most of us basically lost our job overnight and I also had to restructure my life and priorities (that's why I sadly can't give Skype lessons for a while, time management got much more complicated).
Without you all, it would have been impossible to keep the lesson uploads coming (especially in this quality and with this kind of effort behind them) and we grew from 100 to 800 members in just a couple of months! This means the world to me and I'm so excited to keep going, we barely scratched the surface and there's so much more we have to work on and to improve!
With all that said, it does get difficult to reply to every message and email since there are also a lot of new students in '10 Steps to Modern Shredding' and 'Sweep Picking Masterclass' - that's why I decided to offer the option to join the Patreon VIP Club. This secret Facebook group allows us to easily upload videos or any other kind of files (no more complicated uploads/downloads via WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive,...) and I can focus on giving feedback and personal coaching on your technique/music/progress all in one place! This also gives me the possibility to record Q&A videos to answer your most important personal questions. So I can continue to put a big focus on personal interaction and problem/frustration-solving in a form that allows me to schedule my time a bit more freely! Also, you guys and girls can finally really interact with each other and exchange ideas/questions/discussions since Patreon is not really built for that :)
My biggest goal is to keep the QUALITY of the coaching and feedback high and to create a real community, I don't want to copy and paste answers or give unhelpful one-liner responses. So this is the best place for you if you're here for the personal interaction with me - of course, this is not about taking something away from all members that are just here for the tabs, video-playalongs, backing tracks, and PDF files, all that stays the same :) I also added a free exclusive shirt to this membership (I'm paying for the print and shipping), it will be sent out after 3 months and this design is only available on here!
Again, thank you so much for being part of this and for your incredible support, and thanks for taking the time to read this! You guys and girls really mean a lot to me. Now it's time to get back to working on more exciting lesson material, I will see you very soon - take care and please stay safe/healthy!

Think of this community and its welfare/evolution every day. Sisters and brothers, do not grow weary in rocking on. The world needs you.

BTW, do you know Rick Bateo? Easy to find YT channel, and of course FB, Instagram, can't remember, maybe Patreon. Take 5 to check him out, people -- he's definitely on the lofty Bernth level, on ear-training, theory, aesthetics (including soloing and shredding w/ feel and melodic magic, obviously not just w/ virtuosic near-perfection), the lame music industry, software ruining music, and 100+ "What makes this song great?" (w/ analysis of tracks), etc. Also super-infectious enthusiasm. YOU WILL NOT BE BORED.

Man, here you go again....

no no no

don't take that super-gift for granted, brother

been out of the loop w/ illness, but God how you still rock, and we (+wifey) live on donations, and tiny budget and all, LOVE to EUR support you, really believe in you, whether or not I'm well enough to "get our money's worth"
This suuucckks...Im having cabin fever of not gigging. being out playing is my therapy to not go postal to everydays mind-numbing dumbasses and hair pulling out....this better end soon or the the world will be in immediate danger. ..on the brightside. Bands have had tons of time to write. So expect some amazing music. There are 2 bands releasing some new material thats badass (cant give names) but you'll know soon...random badassmetion is Carnal Forges latest album....frigging amazing. What lamb of God should have become. But so sick. If never heard them make it a priority. These guy deserve sooooo much more notoriety than what they have. This may be your new favorite band....

Hey James, thanks so much for sharing that! You are right, that should not be happening - you are already an important part of the community on here! Did the site log you out automatically at some point? Does logging out/signing back in solve the issue? I'm happy to contact the Patreon support for you in case you have issues with accessing the content, I want you to profit from the material here as soon as possible again :)

Hi Bernth, just curious all the post is locked when I look at the content and ask me to support for monthly or annually that I am already Patron.
Bernd Brodträger
Thank you so much for asking that Tom, I'm very happy to hear that the course is helpful for you :) I added the Facebook group as a bonus for the VIP Club tier here on Patreon, here's the link if you want to join us over there: https://www.patreon.com/join/bernth/checkout?rid=5628480
