My friend,

First of all, thank you so much for being part of the inner circle and Discord community already 🖤 Your support genuinely means a lot to me and helped make our Guitar Academy what it is today.

Because you’re already inside the community, I especially wanted to let you know about the NEW tier I just launched:

⚡ LIVE GROUP COACHING with BERNTH

And honestly, I think this is going to become the BEST experience inside the entire Academy.

The Discord is amazing for accountability, motivation and feedback - but this new tier takes things to a completely different level.

We’ll now have monthly LIVE coaching sessions together where you can:
🎸 ask me questions directly
🎸 get feedback on your playing in real time
🎸 fix technique issues FAST
🎸 improve your practice strategy
🎸 and get direct access to me live

This is the closest thing to private lessons I’ve ever offered on Patreon.

And because I want these calls to stay personal and interactive, the spots are LIMITED.

⚠️ The FIRST LIVE SESSION is already happening this SATURDAY, 07:30 AM Los Angeles time.

So if you want to be part of the founding group and get the full experience, now is the time to upgrade.

I’d absolutely love to work with you live ⚡See you soon :)

My friend,

First of all, thank you so much for supporting my Guitar Academy 🖤 Even being in the entry tier already helps me continue creating lessons, videos and new content for you guys every single week.

But I wanted to personally reach out because I just launched something HUGE:

⚡ LIVE GROUP COACHING with BERNTH

This is the closest thing to private lessons I’ve ever offered on Patreon.

For YEARS, people have asked me if I offer private coaching - and until now, the answer was always no.

But this new tier changes everything.

You’ll now be able to:
🎸 join monthly LIVE coaching sessions with me
🎸 ask questions directly
🎸 get feedback on your playing
🎸 improve your practice strategy
🎸 fix technique issues FAST
🎸 and become part of the private Discord community as well

Honestly, I think this is going to become the most valuable experience inside the entire Guitar Academy.

Because at the end of the day, most players don’t fail because they lack information.

They fail because they lack:
⚡ accountability
⚡ structure
⚡ consistency
⚡ and direct feedback

That’s exactly what this new tier is designed to solve.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:
The FIRST LIVE SESSION is already happening this SATURDAY, 07:30 AM Los Angeles time.

And because I want the calls to stay personal and interactive, the spots are LIMITED.

So if you’ve been thinking about taking your playing seriously, this is the perfect time to upgrade.

This is the closest thing to private lessons I’ve ever offered on Patreon.

For YEARS, people have asked me:
“Bernth, do you offer private lessons?”

And until now, the answer was always no.

But I finally found a way to create something that gives you:
🎸 direct access to me
🎸 monthly live coaching sessions
🎸 real feedback on your playing
🎸 accountability
🎸 better practice structure
🎸 and a private community of serious guitar players

This is NOT just another passive course.

This is where I’ll personally help students improve LIVE.

And honestly, I think this is going to become the most valuable thing inside the entire Guitar Academy.

Dear inner circle on Patreon, I would like to invite YOU awesome people to be part of the next YouTube video 🙂 I’m shooting something special in the 11th district in Vienna on Monday, May 15th from approximately 3 pm - 7 pm!

If you are in the area and have time, please send a quick email to office@bernth.at (we can only host 15-20 people)

Hey my friend,

I just wanted to personally reach out and let you know that I’ve released something brand new inside the Guitar Academy - a 30-day training course called Guitar HIIT.

Over the past months I’ve been rethinking how guitarists should practice moving into 2026. Attention is shorter, competition is higher, and most practice methods simply don’t create real, measurable progress anymore. That’s exactly why I built this system.

Guitar HIIT is a focused, high-intensity interval training approach for guitar - short bursts of serious effort, followed by controlled recovery. It’s designed to build speed, endurance, accuracy, and consistency fast, without wasting hours.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfocused, or like your practice lacked direction, this course was made for you.

The important part:
👉 The full 30-day Guitar HIIT course is available right now - and it’s completely free for all Patreon members.

If you’ve been thinking about jumping back in, this is honestly one of the best moments to do it. You’ll get immediate access to this course, plus everything else inside the academy - no extra cost.

I’d absolutely love to have you back training with us again.
Hope to see you inside.

Much love,
Bernth 🎸🔥

Thanks so much for your incredible support on Patreon!! Hope you have an amazing day!

My friends, I wanted to reach out one last time concerning this - THANK YOU for your incredible support with my KHDK SHRED signature pedal so far! It looks like you even briefly crashed the server of the pre-order page on the first day!! :)

In case you missed it, I posted a playthrough video on YouTube showing the amazing possibilities for your tone: https://youtu.be/ITE3wJbVMoU

KHDK reached out to me today and told me that there are not many of these left - so if you’re still on the fence, grab one today before they are sold out: https://bit.ly/3RoPMrE

I’ve been using it daily since I got mine and it’s been a true game changer for me. The extra punch makes the shredding sound extremely fluid and with the specially tuned mid-boost, you don’t lose any clarity or details - so they solved my biggest guitar tone frustration with this!

Once again - thank you all for being part of this project, can’t wait to hear you all playing through this pedal, make sure to tag me in your posts as soon as yours arrive. Have an amazing weekend and thanks for being part of my inner circle!

Bernth

My friends, I have amazing news for you today – as I mentioned in the video I just posted, my signature SHRED pedal with KHDK is finally available for pre-order!

I requested a link especially for our community before this gets released to the general public, so make sure to grab one before they are gone forever: https://bit.ly/3RoPMrE

Learn more about the pedal in this video: https://youtu.be/X3w30q4qJaM

I’m so happy that I finally found the perfect sound for my shredding together with KHDK, can’t wait for you to experience this feeling yourself.

Have an awesome day,
Bernth
