Beginners, take your time and practice. Arpeggios DON'T have to be played to have a good time playing guitar. Don't quit because you're having a hard time. You can do it, I know you all can but listen guys... I'm a 55 year old retired professional musician (guitarists of course 🔥🎸🔥) but I'm not great at arpeggios myself and I absolutely fed myself and family playing guitar. Sure I can pull some outta my backside and hell they even might sound good 🤷 but I love music and playing guitar is so much fun. The whole thing, the people I met, the places I've gone it all was great. So please don't let some tricky chord or playin arpeggios get you down. Practice is a key but also know your strengths and weaknesses. (Should hear me attempt playing bluegrass 🤣, ....no you shouldn't). But anyways, good luck. Oh and whoever's channel this is, great job. Very nice. Sorry I just wanted to get that off ny chest. Arpeggios can be challenging and I don't wanna lose any our new guys out there. Not ever guitarists out there needs to be an Yngwie Malmsteen or Eddie Van Halen. But for those that do like arpeggios and want to learn, this is an EXCELLENT example and lesson. Be safe guys and keep 🔥🎸🔥
@jordanspence8674 aww man, you've only been playing a couple months. I'm 19, been playing for 6 years, and only in the last 3 years did i start to get a hang of sweep picking. I never took the time to learn it before as I'd get frustrated. Guitar playing is a loooong journey, so just enjoy it, don't sweat the small stuff
@@GLYNDWEEEEERRRRdude if you’re 19 and “getting the hang” of sweep picking… never. F’n. Stop. Not that you were going to, but let 👏me👏tell👏you you’ve got something special going, and I’m very excited for your musical journey! Don’t be afraid of /learning/ about jazz and what it has to offer. I’m 34 and I am finally getting over myself enough to learn from the endless pool that jazz is. Then go back to metal and bring it with you. Just in case you wanted some unsolicited advice and encouragement! 😂
I think the main point of this is to practice the raking sound, to effectively apply sweeps. Step 1.01 would be to smoothly move on to the next note without lifting off from the played note. Smooth and seamless transition
The notes played are irrelevant. Anything could be played here the important part is the grip and the structure. If you don’t have a competent left hand maybe do that first.
This is a quick guide on an advanced guitar technique, not a lesson on music. Most people trying this should already know how to use a metronome and know how to employ good practicing methods, and those that don't should focus on their foundation more
To anyone struggling with this, you can do it! The hardest part of sweep picking is the picking part! During your practice sessions spend a couple minutes just working on your picking technique and don’t neglect upstrokes! A drill that did wonders for me in the beginning was choosing a random group of 3 strings (for example 6th string, 4th string, 3rd string) and then just picking them in different patterns like (6th⬆️⬇️ 4th⬆️ 3rd⬇️⬆️⬇️ repeat) and do it until I was comfortable with it, and then change the pattern (3rd⬆️ 6th⬇️ 4th⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️ repeat) etc. then I would try a different group of strings!
I’m just amazed by how long your fingers are and how much clearance you have… like it looks like the neck of the guitar could be an inch wider and you would still comfortably make those stretches. Reminds me of Paul Gilbert in that way and he didn’t need to sweep. Great stuff, but you both make it look easy and humble me at the same time 😂
Best sweep picking lesson ever. Holy shit. Been playing for years but never really bothered to learn new techniques after some time. This changed that.
@@lord_ack7559 I have the side of palm of my hand resting on the strings, as the sweep moves on I’m muting the strings with the exterior side of my palm
For some reason, I somehow can do it in 100bpm quarternotes, going close to 105, my right hand panics. Incrementing by 1 "kinda helps" but there is a certain point where my hand panics. Getting frustrated, but in still trying.
@@vlla9483 If you're fustrated, take a rest doing other exercises, play your favourite songs or do anything else. You'll know when your mind is ready to learn again!
@@Carsaerguida the way that I learned was: 1- looking for songs with simple melodies on one string (jingle bells, titanic song, etc). 2- learning those simple one strings melodies to get used to the fretboard (on a classical guitar). 3- learning some basic chords (not barre chords) and how to do them and change between different chords with fluidity. 4- when I was able to do the chord changes, I moved up to barre chords, and started learning full acoustic songs with 3 or 4 chords (Time of Your Life by Green Day was the first full song that I learned), then I keep searching through different songs from bands that I liked it, and focused on the rhythmic parts. When I was learning those parts I learned how to do some basic power chords unconsciously, I linked the chord to a fret (ex: 3rd fret 5th string and 5th fret 4th string is a C power chord). Then I was linking the notes between them, I knew that after a C, the following note was a C# and then a D. 5- I figured out that there are different tunings by trying to play some songs but for one unknown reason (to me) it doesn't sounded the way that I wanted, so I started to read all the content that was on Internet at that time (2012-2013) about the different tunings, drop tunings, strings gauges, and how they work to sound good. 6- I started discovering new bands that I was liking, started to focusing on the lead player watching live videos trying to understad what they did on the songs that I liked, and with that I was searching for the tabs to try to do it by myself not knowing that some songs required a certain technique to play it, and when I figured out the name of the technique, I watched tutorials of “how to” (like 9-10 years ago), and with that, I just started to play those exercises and then trying to apply on the songs that I like. It was a damn long way, and still it is, there's always something new to learn.
Haha ive been doing these drills for years. Finally after 5-6 years of sweeping i can manage to play most sequences slightly faster then this . Keep working ecwntually your brain will get it haha
I love that Tennessee gets called out because they played Chattanooga lol like Ohio State didn't play terrible teams for more than half of their games this year haha. All in good fun, go vols!
I was about to ask about the guitar because it looks like my Monoprice Les Paul copy 😂 I paid $99 for it and then for some reason decided to put the $250 EMG 57/66 pickup set in it!
@@stevenshook9138 Not the same 'cause I'm doing sweep picking, not alternate or regular picking. In the sweep motion, I have only one down rake and one up rake. The pattern on the picking hand is the same, the fretting hand does the hammer-ons and pull-offs causing the difference between the 16th notes and the triplets.
I've been playing for close to 25 years. I still can not sweep for shit to this day. Luckily, I've never been a huge fan of it. That, or I'm just coping for my lack of skill. You can be the judge there.
Im not even a novice. But i noticed you put an accent on the beginning of the arpeggio. Maybe we could get an explanation? Does it help define the start of the motion, or is it purely for sounding nice and standard?
@@evicol2117 The accent that you're hearing is 'cause in the arpeggio we have a hammer-on from 7 to 10, just an accent to know how the start the sweep, that's why on the dead notes I only gave one hit to the 5th string!
Have you tried or heard anyone try to accent could be any note but let's say the 2nd note in a normal arpeggio? It's not usually in a convenient place in regard to both the pulse of the music or performing the sweep motion
@@Gitfiddle I've already replied to a comment of this kind. The space between the first note and the second rake is exists because I did a hammer-on in the 5th string, without that hammer-on, the exercise wouldn't sounded the way it sounds. If you look at the tabs at the start with dead notes, it's one down and up rake, you can't do hammer-ons and pull-offs with dead notes.
The right hand is always much slower than you think. Even your video proves youre not syncing the assumed technique in the begining with the actual playing.
I want to sit down and learn it but i dont want to spend the time at the beginning not being good at it. At least I know how to do it even if I cant do it very good

Step 1: Rake your pick up and down the strings.
Step 2: Sweep pick.
