Thank you so FREAKING MUCH.... have never gotten sweep picking but only knew the palm muting method which caused problems when I would try speeding up to actual speed. Have never tried the thumb method as of yet but the concept is sound, can't for the results. Thanks again man you rock.🤘
Liking your video! Muting the strings with the thumb seems like a useful technique. Stumbled on this because I'm battling against natural harmonics ringing when lifting my finger after playing a note no matter how slow I play it and couldn't figure out why. Turning the volume knob down to half kills the effect, but perhaps there's a better solution
I like that you didn't start with smaller 3 string sweeps. I feel the muting and hand sync movement required to do 3 strings cleanly is far less then moving over 5 + strings . Diving into a full pattern is most beneficial for solid progression .. I guess I'm odd because I mute using the palm of my pick hand going down but my fret hand palm mutes going back up , I never finger muted LOL.. Great tutorial with clear descriptions and sound advice .
I completely agree, and if nothing else you just have less of a chance to get comfortable with the motion in one direction with the 3 string sweeps, because you’re going to be changing direction so often. I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson!
you had me at Altitudes....lol. So clean, nice playing! hearing it isolated like that has made me want to learn that bit, having previously thought it was way beyond my paying level. video perhaps? If you can get a lapel mic that would help as the vocal audio is quite low compared to the guitar/room mic. cheers!
Thanks man! It can definitely be tricky, but I’d say it’s doable as a whole. And if nothing else, just trying to work your way through it could make you a better player, even if it’s not up to speed. And I was thinking the same thing about the mic actually, definitely going to look into one!
I don't quite understood how do you mute with the thumb and not making any scratch noises. Although, this is very helpful and detailed video that points to many important common issues and shows how to resolve them and develop the sweep technique.
It is something that takes some getting used to, and isn’t the easiest in the beginning, but once you have it down it is a huge help in keeping things clean. But if you still find that you’re having trouble with it, I do offer private lessons, so feel free to check out my website for info on that if you’d like more help
This wasn’t a music theory lesson, nor was it a lesson about how to use arpeggios over a backing track. As the title implies the purpose of the video was to clean up your sweep picking technique. If you’d like to learn more about the questions you asked, I do teach private lessons, feel free to check out my website
Been feeling my sweeps were getting sloppy after picking guitar back up and just not knowing what im missing hopefully the finger muting technique helps I have one on an original I do a 3 string sweep with alot of hammer on and pull offs that I just can't get crisp again
I hope that it helps! And just make sure that you’re taking things slow enough at first to build the proper habits back up. If you still feel like you’re stuck and need some more help check out my website for info on private lessons!
It’s a Jackson Pro Series RR24Q in Winterstorm finish. Recently I’ve only seen them selling this in purple, so I’m not sure if they’re still doing the white finish or not
I pull it back or wear a hat when I feel like doing so. But on that day I felt like keeping my hair down, because why have it if it’s always going to be pulled back? So sorry to hear that it was such an issue for you tho. Have a good one

Great video, nice guitar too!
Thanks for the tips! I've never tried the thumb muting thing. I'll try it ASAP!
I’m glad you found the tips useful! The thumb muting can be really tricky at first, but it’s such an effective way of keeping things clean
thx for very deep explanation
That guitar is beautiful 😍
Ikr? Jacksons are my absolute favorite 🤘🏻

@@JakeJensenGuitar Thanks, bro.
Is that a minor, major arp? Wheres the root ? How to apply on a backin track? Etc

What model is that? Haven't seen a 24 Rhoads with that finish and surface mount

Tom Cruise teaching sweep pick
Sounds like your in Eb tuning...
I am… is that a problem for some reason?
@@JakeJensenGuitar nope, just an observation... most people say something about it beforehand, that's all!
Tie your hair back, you won't need to constantly shake it out of your eyes then...
Why would you tame that magnificent mane?
I pull it back or wear a hat when I feel like doing so. But on that day I felt like keeping my hair down, because why have it if it’s always going to be pulled back?
So sorry to hear that it was such an issue for you tho. Have a good one
More talking
I hate reversed headstocks man
Thanks for letting me know. I happen to love them. Thankfully we each get to chose what guitar(s) we play for ourselves 👍🏻
@@JakeJensenGuitar u‘re welcum
The exact opposite for me😂
