Melodic Sweep Picking & Tapping Lick (Lesson With TAB)

This is an exercise I came up with over a simple progression that will help you incorporate sweeping and tapping together. It is great for working on timing as it is a crucial part in the motif.

Lesson Includes Example, Slow demo with Tabs, and Backing Track for you to try over.

Video responses are welcome!!

Where did you find this exercise, i cant really see the rhythmic part of the tabs so thats a pity

[highintel]

@JimJimJimNL I composed it as an exercise.

. It is all the same note value. 16th note triplets.

@JimJimJimNL If you have Guitar Pro I can email you the tabs or if you know of a Public forum I can upload it.. Ultimate Guitar rejected it for some reason.

Wow, that just blew my mind. I've been sweeping for about a week now, and im playing your stuff at about one quarter speed. Once you started sweeping about how long did it take you to work up to that speed

[highintel]

@TheBraxtonsmith Thank you!!! I would say it took about 4 years of playing total to play as fast as i can.

i never would have thought that was a 3 1 6 4 / bt then my ear training and sight reading is less than preliminary_ what is going on in the jam track it overall sounds like inverted 6ths or something?????????????????????­???????

[highintel]

@psy42263 I just used strait major7 or minor7 chords for the backing track

@highintel

I already made it in a guitar pro file myself, thanks anyway!

@highintel That makes a lot of sense! So just practicing a little everyday gets your speed up?
