A lick a day gives the pace a way(UPDATED) Here’s an Easy Sweep to learn. You might (if u still don’t know) get an idea about economy picking after learning how to play this properly.

Use echo to get a similar sound effect.

awesome man..long time no see.. i will defintely work on these stuff..and will post a clip for u to scrutinise.. give me some time..btw..which metronome do u use? my metronome has a max bpm of only 208. do u reccomend any good solid ones i can use?

I create drum beats on my P.C and play along with it or play close to the tempo keeping the beat and count in my mind. Sorry dude, I can't recommend you a metronome as I myself don't know much about gadgets. Reson- I'm poor can't afford to even think about possessing one good instrument. All i have is - a Guitar(that too gifted), A Computer(saved some money for ages to buy this), Korg Ax1G(gifted too) and a good earphone(gifted too)with a connecting stereo jack which I myself bought for Rs. 10 to listen to what i play.

Focus on your pick and the down strokes, each time you move up to a new string you are playing a down stroke. observe the (fingering) index finger which are all downstrokes.
Hah, he's back, the man is back!!!!! And 240 beats, forget it mama, lol, i doubt if half of the guys can pull that off.
The midi you've posted is certainly not the sweep picking style....but I prefer it this way. I hate sweeping. and I couldn't do 240 to save my life.
Ok bjr I've 'pdated the midi by adding the stroke patterns to produce a sweeping sound. I tried my best but thats possibly all i can do. And why do you hate sweep? Me prefers sweep-picking more thn anyothr teq'. Listen to midi on the first post, sweeps can back up n enrich your solos if wisely used.
@mamasteen awsum , really useful @dharmatma if ya dont mind using comp metronome then dload Y METRONOME , it can go upto 300!
Hybrid Picking(kick Anyone's A$$) Hybrid Picking Level – Intermediate This is considered as one of the most highly-evolved/complex form of right hand fingering. There is no precise rule for this method. Every guitarist will have their own style of playing this technique. I’m gonna show u my way in brief. You need to have a bit of classical guitar basics before proceeding. The right hand fingers : thumb index middle and ring are indicated by the letters (P I M A) [Thumb = P, index = I, middle = M, ring = A] For those who don’t know hw to play classical, herez an example Chords = D & A. Right hand fingering Pattern = P I M I A I M I Ex 1 P I M I A I M I P I M I A I M I E||--------------2-----------|--------------0-----------|| B||--------3-----------3-----|--------2-----------2-----|| G||-----2-----2-----2-----2--|-----2-----2-----2-----2--|| D||--0-----------------------|--------------------------|| A||--------------------------|--0-----------------------|| E||--------------------------|--------------------------|| Fingering sequence = thumb, index, middle, index, ring, index, middle and index Use thumb for the low E A & D strings Ok that’s it Now, in hybrid picking I use the plectrum instead of the thumb and replace the index, middle and ring with middle, ring and pinky respectively P = pick, I = middle, M = ring and A = Pinky, although some people use O to indicate the pinky but I’m showing you my way. Try to use the pick for the low E A and D strings and the fingers for the rest. But again it depends on the song/what you are playing, ultimately the choice is yours. Start out with the same example given above, then proceed on the next Ex 2 E||------------------------10-12-10-8-10---| B||-----5---------5----------------------8-| G||*------5-----------12---12--------------| D||*--7-----7-6-7---7----0-----------------| A||-------------------10-------------------| E||----------------------------------------| --0-----0-----0-0-0-0---------8---8----|| -----10----10-5-5-5-5------------------|| --12----12----0-0-0-0-7-5-7-5-5-0-5-0-*|| --------------------------------------*|| ---------------------------------------|| ---------------------------------------|| Use the plectrum for the notes colored in RED and fingers for the rest..
well...hate is too strong a word I suppose. Hate would be more accurate in describing my attitude towards people who do not use them wisely. I use very short bursts of sweeps sometimes(rather rarely) but my biggest problem with sweeping is not being able to play more than one note on a single string in the process. Also, it's a technique I haven't really given much time to...so I suppose I don't really hate it.
i love the way you say "easy sweep" .... hahahahaha nice work tho... i had heard about you ... any videos/audios of yours?
u say u are poor.....???.....then how did u learn all this stuff...u sound like a real pro yaar.. ..i thought i had learnt all the techniques possible on the guitar....this hybrid pickin is somethin new for me.....coooollll.... and like bjr..... i dont like sweeps much...maybe cuz i am not very good at it...(cuz i never gave ne time to it (just like bjr he he)..)....but i guess i will have learn this thing too..... greaaaaat stuff dude......thanks a lot!!!!!!!! btw where are u from?????
Sweep picking made easy for starters 1) Master alternate picking before learning how to play even the easiest Sweep 2) Do NOT rush. Start off with a very slow tempo. 3) It’s not the speed that matters it’s how it sound. 4) For playing more than one note on a single string use alt’ pickin, hammer on, pull offs , tapping and slides… 5) Lift off the fingers from the string after hitting each note so that no ringing sound is produced. If you let the strings ring it will sound like strumming a chord 6) Play in time if not it’ll sound like sh*t. 7) If you learn this technique you’ll become an overnite shredder ::laughs enjoy Replying Taxyse Yeah I’m poor(I still borrow an amp from others when I need it) and obviously I learned all the stuffs on the guitar(acoustic) I learned how to play sweeps after a friend showed me a D major arpeggio. I didn’t have even the slightest idea how to apply sweeps until I heard Yngwie Malmsteen,Jason Becker etc and it all made sense. And yeah Hybrid Picking is cool, I used to play some classical guitar initially, that was when I was 10-11 yrs old. Stopped playing guitar for years and years and 4 yrs back I started playing the guitar again but this time my interest was electric guitar. Since I still had some touch on the classical fingering, I sometimes used both classical fingering style and the plectrum to play classical pieces. Later, I learned through the Internet that Guitarists in other parts of the world use to call that sort of technique as HYBRID PICKING. Answer to ur last Question – I’m from North East India
i have trouble playing sweeps with three notes on the same fret,......it is to be played by rolling the finger no??.....i cannot do this ....... eg- ------10---- ------10---- ------10----
@Taxyse. Fret the lowest string with the tpi of the finger and then the next string with the fleshier part. This way, rolling off will be a bit easier. The trick is when you sweep with an upstroke. The highest string should be first fretted accordingly with the fleshy part and then roll your finger upwards.
