![[Beginner's Guide] How to Sweep Pick The Right Way](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GewxOa2w0I8/mqdefault.jpg)
This is one of those techniques that so many awesome guitarists know how to do, but are unwilling to teach. On the slower side, never see enough about mastering vibrato.
I have done a bunch of videos on vibrato, check my channel :)
@@CameronCooper Just went through your videos, and remembered that's why I originally subbed a while ago. You're an excellent teacher.
That's bc most can't do it. Which is odd because it's one of the easier things to learn.
Arlen roth or Albert King come to mind.
Vibrato is the most individualistic thing a guitarist can do on the instrument.. You can't really teach it, you can teach the 'technique' but even then, when you get it you get it and its yours.. Listen to some players that you enjoy listening to their vibrato and learn their solos note by note and repeat. For example, I learned Hold the Line solo and that solo had a massive impact on my vibrato as I love intense vibrato on top of that I listen to a lot of Gary Moore and Slash... :) So learn some solos that have the vibrato that YOU like and keep practising! No shortcuts on this one unfortunately.. Hope that helps!
Perfect, I just started trying to learn Altitudes. Thanks Cameron
Jason Becker? Awesome artist
Altitudes is one of my favorites by j-beck 🤘. And this vid is a 🔥 lesson too
Me too!
Are you a guitarist?
@@m74568 yea hbu?
You’ve done it again ! A great video that really expands on the stuff I’m currently trying to learn/master. Your lessons have done so very much for my playing, and again I thank you !! Please keep it up! Best tutorials on RUclips period !
That VERY first Steve Vai lick you just did was an instant subscribe. That is something awesome straight out of Jack Butler's mojo bag!
Man, I haven't seen much of your content in a long time and it's so refreshing to come across it again! One of my fav RUclips guitarists by far
Definitely needed this!!!! Thank You Cameron !!!
Thanks a lot Cameron for sharing this !!
Been waiting for this🔥 Nice vid Cameron👍
Great video as always man. Always fun to hear you play. Best wishes in the new year.
Whoa! I've been wanting to know how to play that Jason Becker lick for years - awesome choice for the lesson!
You always kill it Cam, Kudos to you 👏 Great arpeggio sweep lesson. Merry Xmas 🎅🎄 ROCK ON! 🎸 🤘
Some really useful stuff here - thank you!
Great lesson. Thank you Cameron…
Excellent, Thank you!
really helped me get started, thanks man
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Great lesson - I'm shit at sweep picking so I'm looking forward to practicing these!
Great lesson Cameron!
Thanks will give it a shot been trying for years
A added this page favorites and just now watching it. Always killing it with a Charvel. ✌
Thank you Cameron
Cheers cam great video! I'll check the licks out! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Outstanding and super helpful! I might actually be able to play my first arpeggio! Btw my ESP finish is identical to that guitar-same color and all 😃Thank you
Dude I love all of your Charvels!
I prefer medium action as well, sweet guitar man!
I love the internet, youtube and your channel!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 .
It’s what I’m looking for long time please make video taping technique. You are perfect guitarist and good teacher really appreciate .
I need that orange charvel in my life...what a beauty.
There's just something about a maple neck with a mahogany body that feels and sounds so good.
I subscribed a few weeks ago absolutely opened up
My hands more love that your playing EVH And Randy Rhoads licks and some of there songs I’m sure you have a lot more as I’ve just found your vids it’s appreciated for what you do my friend I’m wanting to learn all of this and more I play 8 to 10 hours a day 🤘
Well done.
Wow. That's a gorgeous guitar.
Thanks bro
I usually don't like gold hardware on guitars but it looks appropriate for that one. Sweet guitar and awesome video. Look forward to practicing these as I've been working on sweep technique lately.
Its not just the palm that mutes. Best tip I got
Great!! thanks 😊👍🏽
ขอบคุณครับ thanks for video .
I remember that shape from his Shyboy solo! 😃
Brilliant tutorial Cam! I love the advice. I spent hours and hours just to be average at this technique. Do you think it’s better to hammer on during the descending portion of a sweep run? Sometimes, depending on the pattern, I feel I pick some of those notes.
My advice would be go with what feels comfortable to you so long as the notes come out as intended
Yngwie arpeggio was a really good example. Cheers
I just nailed my first 5 string sweep pattern yesterday and holy shit does it feel good when you finally get one down. It’s NIT impossible! Just very hard lol
Se morasse aqui no Brasil, faria aula com você...você é bom 👍
Sick
That diminished ascension switched on a light for me, sir. Subd
Cool lesson! Your videos often motivate me to practice new licks...
But i have a question...isn't there another note in the Steve Vai lick, which you play in the fast example, but is missing in the slow explanation? After the down slide on the g string with the index finger?
No I don't miss anything. The only thing that varies is the phrase at the very end of the lick.
12:02 Love this
I like it
would love to see tutorial on pinch harmonics
A very tricky thing to teach but the idea is squeezing the pick a little bit harder and allowing you thumb to catch the string lightly.
Looks so incredibly easy.....It is not incredibly easy. Great lesson thanks 😅😅
I could really use some advice on tonality. Delay,reverb ,settings. Anybody?? Please
Ah yes, the "Steve Vai Jemini pedal" video lick. That video might be my favorite thing on RUclips.
Great lesson! Can you indicate what key / chords / arpeggio names you are actually highlighting in these licks?
I do
The really crucial takeaway for me was "pick as lightly as possible". I really had to concentrate on just feathering the string, but once I got there I was instantly picking faster and cleaner. I thought I was picking lightly before- but I wasn't!
It's hilarious I don't even play this kind of stuff at all.. I still could each your videos all day. I've started recording with a group that plays more along this rock style though so I'm trying to develop some of these techniques. 8f you break these licks down and play with no distortion. It's jazzy as hell
Cam, can you please create a playlist consisting of all how tos. This way it will be easy and convenient for learners to just click on it and refer the vid?
All the how tos are completely different which is tricky.
Can you try that's orange guitar. look beautiful
Have you tried the Dunlop Jazz 3 Flex. Best pick I've ever played with.
Never knew they existed until your comment
You muting is top notch !I play charvels as well . Any issues with any term spring noise ?
Only on one guitar and solved it with cotton wool
Hey Cameron! Great Video! about the guitar you playing in this video, do you find the Floyd rose staying in tune well when "abusing it"? ive heard that recessed floyds have a tendency to go out of tune frequently. do you expreicnce that problem?
I've not had any problems. I think the people who complain about it are those who actually abuse, destroy, misuse or simply don't know what they're doing with one aha
@@CameronCooper lol probably. I will get one soon I guess. I think that the wood combination is fantastic.
Just bought that DK.
Better that san Dimas cam?
Thks, great Video!!
Thank you! It's not better, I just prefer it.
I knew that i knew that first part from somewhere else...
Steve vai Jemini Distortion Pedal Demo 3:34
great tutorial though
Cameron have you played any of the USA made versions So Cal or San Dimas by any chance. Are they really above the Mexican made ones. Im thinking about buying a USA one. Thanks is advanced. Happy New year as well brother.
With that budget I'd get 2 pro mods. Whenever I've played USA made versions I can't feel or hear any real difference at all.
@@CameronCooper Thanks for the response Cameron, wow no difference. Thanks for insight.
It's been a long time,how are you ?from Vietnam
Purr-fect
Great video man. That first lick is very “For the Love of God”. Been working on that song for years. Thanks for the lesson.
Nice lesson, any tipps for doin that while standing? Especially realy hard with 5 string sweeps
Where your guitar at the right that enables you to do it as well as everything you need. Then focus on looks and poses
@@CameronCooper thanks! Haven't expect an answer!
If the action is to low it doesn't work for me but hey what ever works for you is what u got to find out. I think sweep picking is harder than it looks lol
Try different gauge strings or tune differently
should have watched this b e f o r e learning the painkiller solo
Are the pickups f spaced or standard in these Charvel's?👍
They'll be F spaced. I doubt they'd manufacturer guitars purposely designed to have Floyd Roses on them and order regular spaced pickups
@@CameronCooper thanks as ive just bought the 2pt Dk 👍🤘
On the pick subject i run out of picks once ,lost in the abyss, then cut a credit card corner and now i cant get away from it because of its precision property's its pretty good.
Why not just use the credit card to buy new picks? 🤔😂
OK nicely done. Beautiful guitar. Wonderful playing. etc, etc...BUT what does the LEFT hand do? You say if your fretting hand can keep up with your picking hand. Please explain the fretting hand, besides just the notes that you're playing. What's the technique? Thanks!
There isn't a specific technique to the fretting hand besides reaching the notes you need to efficiently whichever way you see fit. If you watch the video I actually explain how it's good to hover your fingers over notes you're going to play which helps but obviously that depends on the shape.
@@CameronCooper Coolness. Thanks. How do you make the note stop so it doesn't sound like a poor attempt at a pull- off?
@@cgdoublezerorc controlling string noise is mostly a matter of both left and right hand muting, generally you use your picking palm to mute the lower strings, and your fretting fingers to mute the highs
Hi,what do you know about harmonic Major / ionian b6 tonality? :)
Functional harmony of this,progressions,how to use it etc
I can probably play it no problem but have no idea what it is since I never went that deep into modal theory.
@@CameronCooper thats why I asked about tonal music :D
we have dimminished chord on ii and vii *
"vii" is rootless dominant in natural Major
"ii" is sub dominant ii
but in harmonic Major it is dimminished chord
so,we have two rootless dominants?
one diatonic and one nondiatonic??
:(
* and "iv", if we play (in C ionian b6)
f,a-flat b
three rootless dominants?
one diatonic and two nondiatonic?
Sounds like Vinnie Moore King of the kings
what's the name of the steve vai song?
hey can you make a video where you teach us how we can stop string noise while playing. I am having lots of string noise while sweep picking :(
Anyways great video!
It's not really a skill to teach since everyone learns and plays differently but be aware of palm muting and left hand muting technique.
Helps of you rake and go slow. Then build up muscle memory .
if tab is included 👍
You can see what I'm doing. No tab needed
The 1st sweep picking lick at 1:51 sounds like the old Nokia ring tone
So what is they your action height in terms of numbers? I'm asking because everyone has a different idea of what's low/high. And also from the way it sounds, it sounds rather low because I can hear your strings hitting the frets.
Strings aren't hitting the frets and I don't have a measurement for it
Do you use 9 -42 strings on all of your guitars
Pretty much apart from one with 10-46 Optiwebs on
@@CameronCooper do you ever put 8 gauge strings on
@@CameronCooper have you ever played the EC1000 series LTD ESP guitars I was thinking about getting one
@@crunch_amp9282 Nope. Like you originally asked, use 09-42 on all my guitars apart from one. 👍🏻

Can blaze through legato licks, but sweeping just feels too awkward
Even if you didn't use it extensively, it can be a helpful trick in your arsenal. Sweeping doesn't have to be fast either. Some of my favourite sweeping licks are really slow
Well, how low are the strings. You didn't give the measurement. lol....just kidding!!!
great stuff .....thanks
I don't give those kind of measurements away simply because I don't know them
I was just kidding around. High might be 2.25 mm on the treble string and 2.75mm on the bass
Everyone trying to sweep while i still can't find the right tones
Buy a Yamaha THR30II and your quest for tone may just be at an end
@@CameronCooper I will check into it thanks !
Not a bad video and some interesting licks, however I feel there is still a lot missing. I came here for the technique, more than the licks yet very little was spoken about in regards to technique. Another thing I feel is missing is the key and how to transpose these licks. How do we know what key most of these licks are in? I want to know how to adapt and move these shapes to suit the key I am in. This is one of the most integral parts of knowing how to apply such licks yet this was left out, thus even after the video we are still left guessing. The video should be giving amnswers to our questions, not questions to your answers.
Thanks for the constructive feedback... However I do explain what keys a lot of these licks are in. Learning how to transpose licks comes from knowing where your root notes are and that comes from a lot of time with the instrument on your own. The way I transpose any lick is by comparing where it sits in relation to position 1 of the minor pentatonic scale and I've never had any problems. Hope that helps...
The whole point of this video was to put forward a hack which isn't often talked about online which is making sure the left hand can match the 'sweeping/raking' action in your picking hand which anyone can do pretty much. People always assume that there picking technique was the problem whereas in my experience with students the fretting hand can often be the problem. In this video I put out the licks I learned first that helped me gain the technique and some pointers on how I gained the technique. Learning how to transpose licks and move them around is up to you to learn.
Cheers
I personally hate sweep picking and I don’t think it’s hard. Pfft.
And I personally think you're lying by watching tutorials on how to do it. And you hate it, another reason to question why you're here.
Uhhh man. That Stoke accent is hideous 🤮🤮🤮
Your knowledge of accents is hideous. I'm not from Stoke you gibbon!
@@CameronCooper I'm sure he's been treated poorly in life and that's why he's paying it forward without realizing.
What a prick comment... you watched the video and probably learnt something and then bit the hand that fed you. Snake twat
