Can u guys help me with sweep picking technique? I mean, right from what it is to how its done effectively and well. and maybe some practice pieces? thanx in advance.
Well you can check out cyberfret but what exactly is there to learn about sweep picking. The name is pretty self-explanatory. You pick all the notes in one sweep. Downstroke while going down...upstroke while going up. And a practice piece is 'Kissing The Shadows' by Children of Bodom... :
ill try to explain it my way..instead of just sayin cyberfret.com...hehehe.. no offence guys just kiddin.. sweep technique is basically when u pick the notes in one sweep where each note is defined unlike a strum ....as dmf said..earlier..downstroke while goin down and upstroke while goin up.. this technique is mainly used while playin arpeggios.. so i would suggest u play a simple triad..using the sweep ...say d major ..on the 1st ,2nd and third string.. e-------2---5 b-----3 g---2 where 5 is an upstroke. play it slowly and try to get ur left hand in sync too and get it clean first..and then move on to a higher speed..use the same position to play diff keys.. do this much..first..baby steps.. these are three string sweeps..5 string sweeps,etc are tougher.. i ve attempted to play them in my bands song last page..the thread is there in music talk..where there is a link to the song.. the sweep part.. is arnd 3:20... peace.. hope this helps a bit.
