[snessub]

he should play that awesome part clear instead of posing by holding the guitar behind his head and playin some shit

[JthulhuOne]

what the guy is doing at 2:15 (with his guitar behind his head, wtf) is definitely sweep picking

[JthulhuOne]

sweep picking, or consecutive picking, involves playing a series of 3 to 6 notes, often an arpeggio, that is arranged with each note on a consecutive string. but instead of striking each string with an individual pick stroke, you "sweep" your hand in one fluid motion across all the strings that are being sounded. the key is that the notes must only be played individually; no 2 notes may ring simultaneously. the best example of sweeping is the solo from "Murdertrain a-Comin" by Dethklok,chekitout

[JthulhuOne]

harmonics are created when there is a node, or standing point, in the vibrating string. by lightly placing something at a point on the string, that point will remain stationary, while the rest of the string, on both sides of the node, still resonate, producing 2 pitches, but the lower one is usually not audible. in this case they are playing pinch harmonics. pinch harmonics are when you let part of you thumb hang behind the pick, so the thumb strikes the strings after the pick, creating a node.

Sounds like sweeping to me, looks like he does it too.

Simple sweeps mind you, but sweeps indeed.

OK, so my friends, both insane guitarists, heard this song, one saying those were sick harmonics and the other saying it was sweep picking (at around 2:15). Knowing little about guitars, I have to ask for your help...harmonics or sweep picking?
