would help if you posted with a full screen shot, with right hand included.

hard to see what you are doing wrong on the MUTING end if we cannot see it. Left hand seems to have a strong start, but withou tlooking at your right hand I cant help you.

Thanks

you can try to mute the strings very slightly with your palm

Thats what its supposed to sound like dude.

In the beginning its right yes, but after that, I take off teh stuff at the neck. Thats when i get sloppy. I used a sock to stop notes from making noise.

thats how i learn all my techniques, and practice them. I agree completely with you and its what i tell people who want to learn how to play guitar.

[m3rcuryd3ath]

thats the worst thing to do. youre just covering up your sloppiness.

Dude, I'd use your neck pickup, and turn the tone control all the way down. I do that with my Les Paul, which has an EMG Select(super bassy) in the neck position, and it makes my sweeps sound a whole lot cleaner and smoother. I still suck at them though. :D

Off to a solid start.

how i initially learned sweeps was find a song you like with them and cover it

You can use your thumb to stretch over the fretboard.
