  • is that an ibanez s470

  • Great vid, il be practiceing a ton to get that down. Quick question though, when your playing 2 notes on the same string on an arpeggio, are you picking the string as you pull off? Or is there a bit of this im missing?

  • @masaki1151 It depends on what you prefer to do, but I tend to up pick the note to start going the other direction. It helps me. Hope this helped

  • fuck im gonna need to practice for days

  • These are pretty basic but I love arpeggios >:) Lol.

  • GREAT VID!

  • really good lesson thiss helped alot

  • Crossing the Rubicon?

  • @HeroFloyd wooohooo i love THA

  • very useful vid. well done mate.

  • Taht is for the first one. hope that helps you.

  • Hey dude add these

    17 on the D string

    19 on the A string

    15 also on the A string then reverse it. it will really improve sweeping. It really helped me i have been playing for about 7 months.

  • ur not sweeping ur picking good try tho

  • Yeah your right man

  • what kind of guitar is that? looks a lot like mine; an Ibanez GSA-60, mine's black tho

    great vid btw thanks

  • great vid, little redundant, but still well done, keep it up

  • Awesome, but i think you should put more theory into it :-)

  • after watching this video i feel that i can now sweep. ha

  • good lesson

  • thanks for the vid ! very very useful !!!

  • hey dude i already knew this stuff but its a great lesson for those who dont. if ur havin trouble just practice it for like an hour straight every day for about a week. i can do it perfectly now and alot of bands use these sweeps too especially the new bullet for my valentine album.

  • sweet...almost like the first sweep to the duncan hills coffee solo but starts off 6frets higher. Good job sir.

  • thanx man now i finaly get it !!

  • damn this actually really helped me...im still having trouble when i go back to 17 and 15 after sweeping 19 15 17 16 16. ah well ill get it

  • Thanks man that helped me out a lot.

  • the first one is the opening of the solo to leper messiah by metallica

  • Sounds exactly like the sweep picking in "Crossing The Rubicon" by The Human Abstract. Nice lesson. Thanks.

  • sounds like the godfather theme

  • when u do a pull off do u pick both note or just pull off one?

  • You should avoid picking at all in a sweep so try to just do hammer on and pull offs when there is more than one note per string

  • Exactly what he said...the whole point is to make is nice and smooth, so multiple notes on 1 string=hammer on/pull offs! Also if you noticed practice in clean first distortion hides any mistakes when you are first learning the sweep technique

  • i usually practice only in clean. i'll spend a good half hour warming up. first with just alternate picking. sweep warm up is probably the last thing i do but i do it. yeah the hammer on/pull off thing i learned. but when i made this video i was still a bit new at it. you can tell because im not exactly that fast. but thank you for the feedback, i could use some constructive criticism. watch my other videos and critique them haha.

  • Sweet bro, it sounds good! You didn't do too bad at all in my opinion I was just writing what I think to be the best way to practice sweeps! I am actually not as good at 3 string sweeps....I am way way way faster on 5-6 string sweeps for some reason haha. Anyways keep up the good work!

  • he dude i was the pwn4life guy you gave advise too a Loooong time ago check my Chanel i recorded a song.

  • dude, that combination of sweeps sounded fucking awesome. I don't know, but to me, they just sounded really cool. It definately helped me, thanx man.

  • thanks dude that helped alot.

    seriously xD

  • i like it. its helped me alot with sweeping. thanks

  • Thanks this really helped me out. I'm just starting to get into sweeping. I appreciate it
