Mediocre guide to sweeping, you should start with 3 string shapes and expand from there with a metronome. 5 string shapes are tough to jump straight into!
@icefiredarksector748 tes ESP is an awesome brand, alot of band members use this type of guitar brand, Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammet of Metallica, and so Tom Araya of Slayer uses an ESP bass guitar, they are quite a bit expensive though, however they do sell LTD's which are a lower priced version of the ESP's
@btd96 I recommend anything made by dean. they make affordable good quality products. i have guitar made by them that is almost the same as their vendetta but it has a basswood flat black les paul style cut away body, and it only cost me 120. but if you are looking to get into music you are going to have to struggle to get equipment financially untl you are making buku bucks. i had to eat donated food for months to get my mix board, pre amp, guitar, gig bag, chords, strings, picks, & strap.
@k03dnoob well my inspiration music wise is from heavy metal bands (metallica, slayer, rob zombie, etc.) so, but 200 is a LITTLE out of my range, cause right now i dont have a job, but next year i might sign up as an employee at my local music store as a worker in the back rooms or restocking trhe shelves, nothing special. And im gonna do that to make money
@btd96 save up! or go on thorman, they do some amazing guitars, some can play metal and there under 140. but i do strongly recomend ibanez,carvin, or bc rich. gibson ONLY if there custom. otherwise they suck
@k03dnoob well actually lately on guitar canter, i found a BC Rich Kerry King V for only 130 but of course i cant test it our, but it looks awesome, and im sure if it was unoperational they wouldnt sell it for over 100 dollars haha, and im looking at getting that for my bday or christmas....which are conveniantly close to each other haha
@prsfloods The guitarists from Iron Maiden use Jackson's which are Fender's guitars that are suited for metal playing. Regular Strats are not made to handle the high gain settings that a metal player would use fir that you would need a super strat guitar (like Ibanez, Jackson, Dean.. etc.). So actually Adrian Smith and Dave Murray do not use Fenders check fender's site and you will see that they are not listed. Then check Jackson's site. Come back and thumbs up since i'm right.
@D1vid3By0 They use Charvel's. A Charvel isn't really a Jackson, even if the Jackson brand was an offshoot of the Charvel. Why, you might ask? Because a Charvel is usually a hotrodded Fender as it has more in common with Fenders.
Charvels are pretty much the same thing as Jacksons to me, When did they start using Charvels? I've seen them use it a couple of times but i'm quite sure they are Jackson endorsees. Either way a Charvel is still as you say, a hotrodded Fender, in other words a super strat (more like a strat on roids). Thanks for the info though, i never understood the split in companies. Wasn't Adrian's guitar stolen a while back? Did he ever get it back?
The English word guitar, the German gitarre, and the French guitare were adopted from the Spanish guitarra, which comes from the Andalusian Arabic قيثارةر qitara,itself derived from the Latin cithara, which in turn came from the Ancient Greek κιθάρα kithara, and is thought to ultimately trace back to the Old Persian language. Tar means string in Persian
@alexstypes Obituary, Andreas Kisser, Iron Maiden, Jim Root, John 5, Steve Vai on his earlier albums, there are plenty of metal players that use Strats/teles, it's all a matter of what feels comfortable to use, and also what people can afford purchase in the first place.
@alexstypes you cant be more right man any guiar can be used for any style it all depends on what the player wants. As for Fender metal bands Iron Maiden uses them C.C from posion can be seen using them from time to time. I have one and i play Metal works good.
@123flippnout Well the guitar players for slipknot generally use jackson guitars but schecter guitars are in my opinion good metal guitars-because of the EMG active pickups and the thin sliding neck
@TheNatedogg56 No because his guitar isn't a traditional strat. But if you care, I'm gonna do it, just because you and your opinion are too much important for me :)
@tomasignacioo uh, for all intents and purposes, it is. It's a Warmoth body (and neck also, i think) who specifically make fender replacement bodies and necks. So if his isn't a traditional strat, then neither is this guy's.
@TheNatedogg56 No,You didn't understand me. I mean, Cuomo's guitar doesn't look like a traditional strat, because for me, a traditional strat is sunburst with white pickguard, or black with white pickguard o whatever. The colours make the difference, not the shape.
@Guitarvirtuoso666 i play a Strat HH which has Dual humbuckers in it. I love it for rock tunes, and i can sweep on it cleanly. the only main problem is most metal is in a lower tuning than E standard, and it doesn't do as well once you go to C standard tuning. lots of issues regarding string tension.
@tomasignacioo To tell you the truth, one might like the feel of the strat, but hate the tone he get's from it with 3 single coils, so I personally like the strat, I'd love to have one of those.
God man whats with all the criticism on this dude? ive seen comments on his other videos on how he sucks. i think hes pretty good. hes better than me so im looking to learn from him.
@tomasignacioo well yeah it doesn't look the best but that's how mine is and it sounds so shaweet it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. It doesn't make too much of a difference to me how the humbuckers look.
@aDutchInternetUser You're absolutely wrong. This is a Fender Stratocaster, probably one of the top three best and famous guitars of all time. It does not suck. However, there ARE different versions of the strat. Some are made in china with extremely cheap parts and are sold for like 50 bucks (like what you have), and some are vintage or quality made and go for thousands of dollars (like this one in the video).
@Brandoninio Not all of them. Just most. There's one guitar tech making videos fro them that's better than msot of them. Most are useless thogh, you're right.
You can play any type of genre on any type of electric guitar. It all depends on your amp. If you're amp don't have an overdrivee, there are plenty of guitar effect pedals you can purchase to get the sound you want.
@Tj33rdz You can Play heavy metal with £50 Electric if you're Amp is good. But, i highly recommend a guitar with Active Pick ups or just a standard Humbucker. When i first started out playing i could get some sweet tones out of a £50 strat mainly because of the Amp i had.(Plus your amp needs a Overdrive button)
@EidherThaClown im also self taught, im afraid you will not be a good musician if you constantly use tabs to play songs you know. by listening to a song i could tell you what key it's in, you can't. i can guarantee you will not be able to write your own piece of music unless you ATLEAST know some chords to base your composition around.
how is it that people get that sound? I am trying to do avenged sevenfolds bat country. That song and this guy both have that sweep picking noise. But when i do it, the notes sound stupid. Any tips?
Practice practice practice. It took me a solid month and a half of practice every day to get a decent sweeping sound. Just keep at it, and don't get discouraged.
hey i've learned a lamb of god song recently and a pantera song, and i've found that metal bands use three consecutive notes sometimes and play around between them in a riff. Can someone explain to me when I can use that and what scale or mode its from?
@axeiston That would be an arpeggio (chord split into notes) of a triad chord. They are all three notes of a scale.
They come from the scale of their name. For example, a C Major triad would be the first, third, and fifth note of the C Major scale.
Different types of triads have different combinations of notes, for example if you wanted a C Minor triad, you would keep the first and fifth of the C Major, but flat the third.
You would normally use these in solos when sweep-picking.
@metalfreak4677 first ones he mentions are A,C,and E. they are single notes in the A minor barre chord.
you take your favorite chords and pick the strings one at a time in a sweep motion to sweep pick. You can use any chord. if you would like to add notes to your chords make sure they are octaves of notes already used in the chord and theyll always sound good. hope i helped
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! yes i know what an A barre chord is. the guy in the video is adding extra notes that are not in the original barre chord. please comment me and let me know..... what extra notes can i use in a barre chord to make a sweep sound better? What notes should i never use to add to a barre chord?
Some one who knows what theyre talking about please help me out. I think the answer is include notes already used only in different octaves. but not sure
@crAshN4L There's no such note you should never play, it depends on what kind of sound you want out of your sweep. He is basically adding the notes you usually hold with your index finger while playing barre and then doing a hammer-on on the note of the barre your other fingers are holding.
i think the "cheat sweep" is harder cause rolling your finger on the same fret on diffrent strings is trickier than moving to a diffrent fret on a diffrent string.
I can't manage to sweep when its 2 notes at the same place, like if i play 5th string 17 fret and then i have to move up to 4th string 17th fret, I think that's hard cause I don't know how to place my finger.
@K1rkHammet best thing to do is take your finger of the fret after you hit it. just go slow and practice it and once you get it try it a lil bit faster and so on
@StrikingRhinoceros Well, one would think an expert would be able to intonate any type of guitar, supposing it has the hardware to allow one to do so.
I'm also a guitar player when i watched his videos about guitar techniques i therefore conclude that Gary is awesome guitar player. so for me he is an "expert" maybe others may not appreciate his video but as an a musician i know what is the deference between the expert and beginner. maybe the other who didn't like this video are those not a musician. am I right? :)
@MTAlupyourass Well, yes and no. Adrian Smith has used Jackson, Gibson, Ibanez and Lado aswell as Fender. Dave Murray also endorsed Jackson and ESP in the earlier years. Janick Gers is the only one of them that's been sticking to a Fender throughout just about all of his career.
Yes your theory is certainly right and good, but try to play more perfect so we can believe you are a true teacher. But we all thank you for your invaluable videos, of course!
@PrepsAndEmosSuck Exactly... he should of shown people how to do more simplistic sweeps first... plus it just makes more sense when dealing with three string sweeps because you can explain them as cord shapes played with a certain picking style instead of just the key it is in.
I somewhat know how to sweep, but I can't keep the strings muted without using a capo or something. Any suggestions?

its not hard to figure out what notes he's playing, look at the position on the fretboard and learn it by ear :)

i think the "cheat sweep" is harder cause rolling your finger on the same fret on diffrent strings is trickier than moving to a diffrent fret on a diffrent string.

I can't manage to sweep when its 2 notes at the same place, like if i play 5th string 17 fret and then i have to move up to 4th string 17th fret, I think that's hard cause I don't know how to place my finger.

@K1rkHammet best thing to do is take your finger of the fret after you hit it. just go slow and practice it and once you get it try it a lil bit faster and so on

@StrikingRhinoceros Well, one would think an expert would be able to intonate any type of guitar, supposing it has the hardware to allow one to do so.
KoGg3 1 year ago
I'm also a guitar player when i watched his videos about guitar techniques i therefore conclude that Gary is awesome guitar player. so for me he is an "expert" maybe others may not appreciate his video but as an a musician i know what is the deference between the expert and beginner. maybe the other who didn't like this video are those not a musician. am I right? :)

@dickasaurus69 True but they still have single coils in all their guitars as well
MTAlupyourass 1 year ago
@MTAlupyourass Well, yes and no. Adrian Smith has used Jackson, Gibson, Ibanez and Lado aswell as Fender. Dave Murray also endorsed Jackson and ESP in the earlier years. Janick Gers is the only one of them that's been sticking to a Fender throughout just about all of his career.

Yes your theory is certainly right and good, but try to play more perfect so we can believe you are a true teacher. But we all thank you for your invaluable videos, of course!

@DropC09 I learned to sweep from this video, it was needlessly difficult and I really should have been taught 3 strings first.
PrepsAndEmosSuck 1 year ago
@PrepsAndEmosSuck Exactly... he should of shown people how to do more simplistic sweeps first... plus it just makes more sense when dealing with three string sweeps because you can explain them as cord shapes played with a certain picking style instead of just the key it is in.
