Malmsteen wants his fingers back.

[xXxUrM0MxXx]

@xXxUrM0MxXx Oh wait you're too good and not self-centered enough to be Malmsteen. Sorry!

[cgsweep]

@xXxUrM0MxXx lol! Thank you! Yngwie has always been an influence but I have heard the stories!

[TheDeathHorn]

Guys! Speed isnt everything! Sometimes even slow playing can sound much better than Shredding. It's very important HOW to play.

[pobinr]

holy moly your technique is awsome !

[tomypersonal]

Man, You are THE MAN! You have such a sync, as my meighbour who plays every day for at least 15 years or so... But what mazes me the most is thata strat has to be very low action guitar if you wanna pull this kind of shred on it.. Amazing. really.

[cgsweep]

Thanks!! I appreciate the kind words!!

[dirtydeeds73]

dude how long did it take u to get good at sweeping? i've been working on it for a long time and idk if its just the action on my guitar, but i really haven't been advancing. all i can do is go really slow.

[cgsweep]

Hello dirtydeeds73!

I continue to work on and develop my sweeping. I was able to get pretty comforatbke with it within a four to six month span working slowly and keeping everything in time. From there I gradually built the speed up with a metronome or drum machine.

[zippyp45]

Woahh...I didn't know the strat could be used for awesome shredding (besides Yngwie).

[cgsweep]

Thanks!! I apprecuate the comment and yes Yngwie is a huge influence!!

[GKboards]

haha you even busted out the strat for an even more yngwie-like feel

[Parkle36]

[KobezGuitarist]

[cgsweep]

most of the scales i used in that improv were harmonic minor and phrygian dominant, technique wise i mixed alternate picking and sweep picking
