Sweep Picking Lesson

I made this over 2 years ago and supposedly it has helped a lot of people learn how to sweep. (but i doubt it) i had been playing almost 3 years at the time so my technique is actually pretty bad, now that i've improved a bit. this vid has some good starting stuff for learning the technique, even if it is really basic and dumb altogether. (my video)


oh, and btw. just because you do a sweep doesn't mean you played a lick. licks need to sound good, and you have to make something melodic to sound good, just doing random sweeps means you are retarded and have no sense of melody. (like me in my video) so yeah, always try to make musical phrases that you could even hum to when you write solos or anything. otherwise you are just dumbing down the music community and making it harder for me to wade through the terrible, terrible majority of music out there to get to the good stuff.

thanks.

@virgoptrex just wanted to point out that "Allah" is synonymous with God, as in the Christian God. He is the same guy, like, a Christian who is from Egypt would call God "Allah". Muslims have all the stuff with Abraham in their religion, too. In fact, the Muslim religion is split into 2 parts that hate eachother because over a disagreement about Abraham's sons. I'm not saying this because I'm a fan of Muslims, because personally I think religion is stupid, but it is worth noting.

@neoclassic09 I believe you are referring to my profile pic (which supports US against terrorists) Personally I hate that religion and its lunatic radicals who terms others not following its ideology as infidels....I believe the world was better 3-4K years ago when religions were yet to spawn and fanatics didn't exist to rope up people and make them slaves emotionally.......worst blow up themselves and others.
