Lick of the Week #4: Sweep Picking: Major+Minor Arpeggios

[GHgenius]

GREAT PLAYING, wasnt keen on the amp settings though.... :/

[rediliad]

isnt this a circle of fifhts chords proggression which is commonly used in neoclassical metal?could do a lesson show the typical neo classical arpegio sequence please which is based on circle of 5hts?

[tziras]

@rediliad

i will do it soon

[homerojimenosimpson]

Theodore, you are inspiring...great leassons. Cheers from Argentina.

[midgety1]

I noticed I have a problem with flicking strings accidentally when i lift my fingers sooo that string rings out and makes it sound like shit .. any tips or advice?

[tziras]

@midgety1

do it prerflectly clean and very very slow

then increase the speed...goog luck

[RANTV3]

Wow that was easy ! :D I got it!

[RANTV3]

Wow that was easy ! :D

[dinos35]

hey theodore i noticed a problem at my sweep picking technique..

When i do "fast sweeps " like altitudes by becker the g string rings is there a way to kind of mute it ?

And also another question if you don't mind..Have you studied classical guitar ?

[tziras]

@dinos35

the problem is with you "Rolling finger" technique with the 2nd and 3rd finger

try to place you fingers in a way that each note will sound individually

[dency45]

thank you.

[guillotinedeath]

what type of pick do you use?

[tziras]

@guillotinedeath

Dunlop Stubby 3mm

[D1TVJ]

You are amazing theodore, after looking for many arpeggios, I found the right one here. Nice teaching.

[Jogvan1000]

dude, I saw some pictures on your website, and do you really play with both left and right hand ?

[tziras]

@Jogvan1000

i am left handed

all my instructional videos are mirrored

[flamen89]

theodore, you are a complete legend!!!

@tziras

Hey, I can download the tab for this lesson, but not the backing track...is that intentional? Thanks.

[tziras]

@1KOOLRIFF

there is no backing track for this lesson

you can practice the tab over the metronome

[1KOOLRIFF]

@tziras Okay, thanks :) Great lesson regardless, it helped me out tremendously.

[TheShredfester]

Great lesson Theodore!!! You Rock and Shred The Roll!!! Thumbs up for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us...Your a First Class Teacher as well!!! God Bless Brother!!!

[dallasaurus]

Thanks for the invite! I subscribed ;D

[Smokinbonez]

Thanks for the invite --I like the way you teach. You make every thing very clear and you don't take it for granted what the people watching understand. That shows your really interested in helping people learn and not showing off for your own interest. I put this one on my favorites to let people see what I mean. P.S. I'll be back for a few lessons myself. Thank you.

[wilo2000]

YOU MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK SO EASY,YOU'RE RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THEM (MALMSTEEN,VAI,SATRIANI) IF NOT BETTER.

HAVE YOU EVER COME ACROSS A SOLO BY AN ARTIST THAT YOU COULD'NT PLAY,JUST CURIOUS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING.

FAIR PLAY TO YOU FOR PUTTING UP ALL THOSE LESSONS.

HAVING LOADS OF FUN ATTEMPTING AT LEAST.

THANKS AGAIN.

SHANE.

SHANE.

[tziras]

@wilo2000

there A LOT OF solos that i cannot play of course

than you for your kind words

[SeverPL]

@tziras can you give example? sorry but i really cant imagine how musican with that level of technique cant play some solo ;d

[tziras]

@SeverPL

all the Allan Holdsworth's solos

there much more important elements than technique

[SeverPL]

@tziras yeah i know, thanks, i'll check him out

[wilo2000]

@tziras

Did'nt think much of Allan Holdsworth,tried to listen to him,not my style.

Your music is much more up to date and more to what i like to play. I would love to hear you play the CANON ROCK song in your own style,gustavo guerra has the best version on youtube,have you ever played it or know of it

Shane.

[jetplane99]

Tziras,

I watched your other lessons around here in YouTube and read your replies regarding answering people's questions about specifics of the lesson(s). I must say that you have dedication and patience. Way to go. :-)

[Ecuasoft]

[pyrodeath3x3]

i think these lessons are great. i just started wathing them so idk if you already have but i would recomend introducing 3 string sweeps first for people to begin learning.

[kikoutthejamsman]

YOUR GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME!!! these are great lessons im learning a lot

[bronsonbaker]

this dude is the man

[fedfyr]

Its a good lesson, I think he explains things very well and its a good excercise. And he sweeps very fast! Though I dont think he played it perfect in 200 bpm, but it doesnt really matter, like he said: its not musical...

[extrarandomguy]

LMAO @ wannabe internet pros. Instead of commenting on the flaws in other peoples shit, why dont you record yourself doing better ;)

[Radicz0r]

Been there. Done that. Get off your high horse, faggot.

[wirahamzah]

@extrarandomguy Totally Agreed! :D

[NecroG0d]

i can do 180, but 200 is too much.

[GitarrPwnz]

Is that a xiphos in the back?

[BLUEDEMONSR]

cheeeeeees man if ive just had a teacher like you in my early years, damn!!! youre so good, nice teaching skills!!!

[rattlehead001]
