For a moment I thought you're vibrato was a trill. That's ridiculous. How do you reccomend going about getting ones pinky stronger. I can use it, and I know it wont be as strong as my other ones, but how would you suggest going about training it to be a bit stronger?

@SidVicious10101 hey buddy, sorry it's taken me a while to get back to ya dude. pinky eh? best suggestion... work only on your pinky. it's only a matter of muscle memory so if you make your pinky work, he'll bring home the bacon for sure. try running scales where you cut out the other nots except for the ones you need to play with your index finger or pinky. roll like that for a while until you feel like you've got some mojo flowin with the pinky. u can do some great stuff with 2 fingers.

how did you learn to sweep pick?

if you look at my videos, im to the point where im almost as fast as you get without sweeps. i wanna get some basic ones under my belt

any tips/advice?

[therealrockpresley]

@IJmackdaddy i gotcha. try 3 string sweeps and make sure you get the timing right for the right hand. should sound a little bit like the beautiful people by marylin manson. the rythm, that is, when you mute the strings. watch yngwie's videos as much as you can for examples. there are plenty of them out there. but use those major, minor, and diminished sweep patterns to really get into it. don't move on to other strings until you feel mastered on the rythm for 3 strings.
