Electric Guitar Sweep Picking Lesson Howie Simon FPE-TV

[DefPanther186]

I was too distracted by the water damaged bridge. I'll have to just listen I guess....

[javarion777]

...... u lost me after FPE TV lol

[13RGaun]

bitchin guitar ..guy

[PunkRockDisaster1]

This really has nothing to do with the video but what kind & type of strings do you have on your strat?

[TheElderScrollsGER]

that's a really nice video but this technique takes for me so much time to learn. i'm quiet desperate :D

sometimes i can do it and sometimes not... :S

[KillerMcGinty]

@TheElderScrollsGER - What's the rush? Take your time and get it down clean (Go slow at 1st). You'll get it faster than you think.

[flowbiwanchaynobi]

i never thought i could but i'm finally doing this shit! ITS POSSIBLE!!!

[fredlocust]

Turned the video on, first second starts playing, gave up right there.

[josproskater]

sweet picking!



[MRKABOOM12]

Loved this lesson. Right to the point

[bones304]

@jereonproductions The strings are tuned down one semi-tone. So the tuning of the guitar is E flat standard.

[DotSimLtd]

I used to bite my nails when I was young and they turned out very short, which has meant I have adjust my finger style technique.

[Yooonsi]

@DotSimLtd lol who the f*** cares. No offense, but... thanks buddy.

[marxiusz1]

He is In Alcatrazz ISn't He?

[KillerMcGinty]

@marxiusz1 - YES.

[e13e7]

those fingers O_o

[JereonProductions]

all his guitar strings are toned 1 fret higher than normal

[kokopiko]

That riff at 0:15 is such a killer!!!

[43soundz]

really nice strat, what is it? nice lesson too

[RyLeeKing]

thats the type o' fretboard i like to see. you know he's put in the time

[GuitarLessonScale]

So good

[GuitariousMaximus]

what should u do when u lift off the string to play the other string, but when u lift ur finger the open note sounds?

[exWolf88]

:omg: that guy's fretboard is filthy >_<; good lesson, though :-)

[Itsglenbo101]

Iv been playing for 3 years. Should I be able to do this ?.?? Please answer

[IGLIAS1]

@Itsglenbo101 It all depends on how much you practice each day. Im no expert but all I can say is different people will take different amounts of time and effort to grasp different techniques. We all have different strengths and weaknesses... You'll get it soon enough just keep practising!!! :)

[bilalatthedrums]

seriously? when i can do this, i will shit my pants

[MapleLeafAce]

I think it should be noted that when he does it fast as he does, he never pulls off from the highest note of the arpeggio; he alternate picks it so his pick sweep doesnt get out of synch.

[tangypasta]

high output singe coils?

[KillerMcGinty]

@tangypasta  - DiMarzio Virtual Solos.

[FokasSk8er]

Dirty strat sweeping,LIKE A BAWS

[childrenofthehorizon]

this helped alot. thanks dude



[DreamPhoelix]

thanks for this bro, never got any friends of mine to teach me sweeping, i'll be sure to practise alot. Thanks dude

[eltoola]

With only three strings boring mmmmm

[Bluepaw90]

im new at playing guitar and i have a question. is it normal for the the string to hit the frets when u pick it hard?

[Mikethekiller7]

@Bluepaw90 Did u get it set up?

[EvilLamas]

@Bluepaw90 don't pick so hard, it shouldn't do that.

[stephensemora]

Ok, I have every note memorized, and I have the finger movement of my left hand memorized, but for some reason I can't seem to get the movement of my right hand down. It bugging the hell outta me, lol

[Deformedius]

Do i have to eat me nails before i learn it?

[LaMnchaUrbana]

0:14 DAMN!! i cant stop watching this part, song???

[MonotoneMoxie]

holy shit this is hard

[xdimebag666x]

what is the color of this guitar?

[KillerMcGinty]

@xdimebag666x  Daphne Blue

[TheYeditelli]

@xdimebag666x i think its a daphne blue

[acdczeppelinhalen1]

Is it better to do all hammer ons and pull offs on the high e string such as 13h17p13 or is it better to just pick the 13 and 17 seperataly?

[19990SAND]

@acdczeppelinhalen1 To hammer on and pull off that adds good sound,speed and dynamics ..always picking sounds dull :)

[acdczeppelinhalen1]

@19990SAND Thanks :)

[19990SAND]

@acdczeppelinhalen1 Glad :)

[VindalooMuncher]

he said one direction, nooo runed the lesson

[metalex1995]

He Practice 28 Hours Per Day , He Have No Nails D: WTF

[jokeass21]

i play power metal and i dont use a strat. i shred an ibanez 

[Creed24Nickelback]

@jokeass21 shred a strat is more difficult than shred an ibanez,for this reason he is better than you.

[jokeass21]

@Creed24Nickelback lol i never tried to claim i was way better. also wouldn't that make him a lesser quality man, as i have the intelligence to get the best guitar for what i do? this is on the basis that if it's easier to ibanez then wouldn't you have to be a fool to get the strat? that's like saying your better if you walk the distance of the airport instead of using the escalator thing, isn't it??? n thats just silly. props though i guess he has to try twice as hard as me

[Creed24Nickelback]

@jokeass21 I was joking man.

[RuFiOPx]

how long will it take me to learn this if i practice it at least 5 hrs a day?

[vandresitor]

Este tipo tiene que cambiar de Mástil cada 2 semanas!!

[carliarce]

ewww your nails!!

[vsmcax1007]

sweeping? fuck it...I'll just stick to bass...I got gigs lined up already anyway.

[inkpen534]

why aren't you asian D:

[iplayguitar4life]

@inkpen534 PAHAHAHA

[SuperSuperman54]

[HarmFlo]

[sonyasmileycom]

OMG This guy has terrible nails....and again OMG...

[oT0MJHo]

that guitar could do with a clean ;)

[MasterMetallica010]

Fender Strat, true men's guitar

[thrashtildeth247]

@MasterMetallica010 not for metal...

[FourPie]

@thrashtildeth247 Not your type of metal anyways. I play power metal and strats are the best choice.

[AbusedDaily]

@MasterMetallica010 wait what? i have an epiphone sg and a fender strat!! what does that mean?

[geovannygtz]

no hay mejor explicación qe la de un maestro como el good lesson

[UltimaXG2]

That's Ab minor. :/

[IRIDEAGYARADOS]

Should you sweep with your wrist or your arm?

[wizardofmadness]

how we play this?

[JMaSsA11]

HOW ARE YOU NOT UBER FAMOUS!?!?!

[pepperboxaudio]

@JMaSsA11

because Beginners wont prefer to Tune Down to E Flat when learning something new

[ImaDjentleman]

@JMaSsA11 practice hard for a month.

you`ll be as good as him, and now you can ask yourself how you`re not uber famous :)

[metalking40]

@ImaDjentleman any lessons you would suggest ?? Scales, ?? anything a lnk to a website maybe

[ImaDjentleman]

@metalking40 learn the modes, and triad music theory: the most basic of the basic. it may be hard as fuck at first, but you`ll get it. i recommend robchappers, morgenfaerestrand, and creativeguitatstudio. and for sweeping, that just takes a month or two of hard practice, the most frustrating thing in history at first, but it pays off ;)

[Dreamdancer11]

@metalking40 If you are a beginner check out justinguitar.You ll learn what you need to know with a correct order and ll get introduced to the caged system.That way you ll find out that learning chords scales arpeggios will be easier and more...visual than ever.

[LeetTemujin]

@JMaSsA11 you remember that blond kid who sings about never saying something -.-

yeah. him.

[keithsa41]

that strat has gone down a few roads. Nice video. thnaks

[2shae99x]

wat an intro lol epic

[ric03ify]

the song at intro what is?????

[christophersonawane]

This proves u dont need an expensive guitar to be gilbert

[KillerMcGinty]

@christophersonawane - This is an actual 1972 Stratocaster. Probably worth a lot more than most of Gilbert's guitars!

[imit]

@christophersonawane ibanez guitars are not that expensive. lol

[christophersonawane]

@imit dude check the JS series :/

[imit]

@christophersonawane strats are more expensive than ibanez

[Guitarman461]

what was that song at 00:15?

[melkerri]

Great instruction mate! Helped me out alot. Thanks:)

[hundeadsoldier012]

sweet video. helped me alot. keep up the good work.

[AdestramentoCanino1]

nao entendi nada mas olha as unha do cara mee ta na pele

[iLoV3Xham]

thank u very much dude ..now i know how to sweep guitar

[DaVinceMovies]

i think this sound great with a wah wah pedal

[whocarescamera]

he bites his nails like my mom :)

like his guitar!

[apu209]

parabens!!!!!!



[apu209]

porra ! parabens



[kar98ksniper]

sloppy sweep.not clean

[KillerMcGinty]

@kar98ksniper :... And still has more views and "thumbs up" than all of your videos combined.

[kar98ksniper]

@KillerMcGinty that is correct.Even the sloppy Axel Rudy Pell has more views than any of my video.The fact is that my sweep picking way a lot cleaner and better than his.And that all it matters to me and to nearly 3000 subs in my channel.so long dude.

[KillerMcGinty]

@kar98ksniper You must have the cleanest sweeping and playing on Earth. All your videos you post that you filmed in your parents bedroom prove it. Maybe someday you will get the opportunity to play with other musicians in a band. But then again, if you keep telling everyone how great you are on the internet, maybe not. That's why Axel Rudi Pell and Howie Simon have played all over the world (w/ great musicians & singers) and have been on many records & as far as I see here, you haven't.

[kar98ksniper]

@KillerMcGinty wrong .Totally wrong.I m a guitar instructor and if u wanna see my best student ,u sould check ozzy s new guitarist.I m pretty sure that u know him.Thats my job.To learn people guitar from the scratch, and become guitar idols. U ll never be one of them cos u r an untalented piece of shit.I m 37 ,deep shit ,i have my own house and i bought it when i was 25,when u were on ur fathers balls.fag

[KillerMcGinty]

@kar98ksniper - I wonder if you "learn" your students to go onto other players youtube videos and insult them. You are a douche bag.

[kar98ksniper]

@KillerMcGinty i didnt insult anyone.i just express my opinion.Not clean.Thats what i v said.Just for the record FPE has subscribe onto my channel,and i know now why i v block you in the past.Cos u r a pathetic faggot noob asshole bitch.Learn to play first and then talk.asshole

[DistortedFaiths]

Just because you can shred doesn't mean you can give lessons.

[dancingrizz]

Italian chords.

[BornToBeSomebodyxxxx]

One Direction ;) at @):26 ♥

[sglp9000]

Got it! thank you! i can finally fucking sweep!!!!!!!! aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

[snambo]

It's like watching a magician explain how he makes his assistant disappear. I still don't have enough right / left hand coordination (agreement) to pull this trick off at all. Curses.

[darkeagle320]

The fretboard is aged from the factory like that guys. Just sayin, go look it up before assuming things. No one that plays that good treats their guitars like shit or waits that long for it to look like that before getting a new one.

[tango616]

Great lesson, clean your goddamn fretboard though,

[TheCurseOfMetal]

@tango616 Lol its not dirt. the wood has just worn

[MsTallicaFan]

You have fingers like Frodo from LOTR xDD

[coztak]

so many noise......dirty!

[vaansr]

Damn man whats Wrong with your Fingers ? :S

[PGuitar265]

I think the tone is amazing! ...I wanna have a strat, too...

[JonnyRUFC]

Good Lesson

[TheK4DabRa]

fucking intro scared me wtf

[poyanator]

@TheK4DabRa LOL me 2

[shed412]

when you do it slow it sounds like the song of storms from zelda

[glie3]

idk why but i think like this: practice in a not so good guitar and it will take more skill to make it sound good then change to a better guitar and it should sound amazing..

[Caiosniper1]

@glie3 Good idea

Lol

[HotRodSixString]

Great Job

[FritzThePothead]

Search "Fastest Guitar Sweeps in the World" if you appreciate guitar skill.

[nick61729]

idk why do people talk about the strat bad?? can some one please tell me!!!!

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

looks like his left hand fingers have leather helmets

[333krine]

I've been practicing this lesson but i just now got this youtube account. how do you post a video response?

[nightsaimy]

need help ur guys. im going to buy either Epiphone Les Paul Special

or Epiphone Explorer GT

im a beginner, what do u recommend?

[LeVonDanE]

@nightsaimy They're both decent guitars. Personally, I would get the Epiphone, they seem to have less factory defects and play just as good as the Les Pauls.

[GuadalupeBatista]

@LeVonDanE DUDE I KNOW!!!! Fender needs to learn how to make guitars i ALWAYS have to return a fender guitar because of some defect!!!! But I LOVE!!!! Fender so I will ALWAYS keep buying them LOL!!!

[chrisharrahsvideos]

do you know if your suppose to keep your thumb behind the neck while sweep picking? i know its "proper technique" but it seems even harder to sweep than when i have it resting casually on the top of the neck

[ThatThingRightThere]

Wouldn't it be more better if you just hammer the A instead of picking up?

[KillerMcGinty]

@ThatThingRightThere : Its not as "aggressive" sounding that way

[mackubex12]

lol! Ugly guitar but sweet picking! 

[JackFrostBUD]

I bet you HATE scratch and sniffs. Look at those nails.

[KillerMcGinty]

@JackFrostBUD Hahaha...this coming from an idiot who posts multiple videos of himself smoking pot. Including a video where you are smoking the disgusting residue left over. The list of pathetic, talentless internet couch critics continues to get longer....

[JackFrostBUD]

@KillerMcGinty ROFLMAO, look at you fighting behind a keyboard when you dont even KNOW me, those videos were posted in 08' bro. And it was a joke, look at his right hands fingernails. You will get what im saying. And how am i criticizing? You had a bad day.

[Telerak1]

@JackFrostBUD Rofl, u mad?

[JackFrostBUD]

@Telerak1 Lol, apparently someone that says "ROFLMAO" is mad. Get blocked troll, The list of pathetic, talentless internet couch critics continues to get longer....

[Telerak1]

@JackFrostBUD Talent? Yeah I wish I was talented enough to smoke weed and play WoW all day. Man... That would be amazing. Morde Es #1 HUEHUEHUEHUE

[givemeajackson]

i want his strat! that riffsound @ 0:14 is fucking brutal! sooo tight.

[raresore]

This actually seem to help alot

[lucastorres12]

he doesn't have nails...

[zimonslot]

aaaaawwee yeah, that's what i want my strat to look like! The neck anyway.

[CNDLmusic]

the guitar doesnt matter. i play metal on my crap strat. no matter how crappy it looks. it will NEVER effect the sound... its all in the guitar player. great lesson. thnx so much.

[zimonslot]

@CNDLmusic

Well... active humbuckers help.

[givemeajackson]

@zimonslot just humbuckers, active or not doesn't make that much difference. but all strats sound awesome @ leads, rythm and noise are the problems.

[JKDoodleJack]

Song of Storms, you win.

[MrJackattack32]

Awesome

[ShredChannel]

wut geetar model iz dat

[iSawTheUnseen]

@1:33 he's playing the Song of Storms!

[JKDoodleJack]

@iSawTheUnseen Umm.. its not the song of storms. im sorry. check my channel all will be explained in my video "Howie Simon Plays SONG OF TIME"

[EvilMoof]

@iSawTheUnseen EPIC! =D

[xxxhastexxx]

That's one horrible looking guitar neck u got there...

[00infest00]

[b2mgayest]

what a fucking faggot

[guitarsaiyan]

this is one of the vids i watched when i started sweep picking lol back when i sucked :)

Check out my channel for original solos with sweep tapping and riffage!

[hendrix7755]

that strat was 4 hours old ...

[Breedin9Ground]

@hendrix7755

Wut

[PaigeyLynn]

i find it hard to masturbate to this

[AustinOfMostAwesome]

@PaigeyLynn  But Im Damn sure gonna try!

[spudvader86]

@robococo100 It's not dirt, it's used. It's actually worn into the wood.

[SuperFluffyCarrot]

your fingernails.. how'd they become like that?

[spudvader86]

@SuperFluffyCarrot He bites his fingernails alot, i know cause it has happened to me as well.

[metallicarules1234]

do you use a thin or thick pick?

[AntiEmoMetalhead92]

you can play this one fret down and then you don't have to tune your guitar to this video...because he doesn't play any open notes

[TheNebularColapse]

Please,someone can tell me how can I do to get my guitar's neck like his?

(sorry my bad English I'm not a native)

[Exect4500]

@TheNebularColapse You can play the guitar for 39 years like this one.

[gonza96100]

very good!!

[jimmyjames1968able]

If you hear it being demonstrated by a 12 yo at guitar center, you are too late with this lesson, dude.
