Big tip on sweeping. Your right hand moves a lot slower than your left hand. The timing is such that you wait on your left hand to catch your right hand. Meaning people try to get too fast with right hand because they are used to thinking one string and how fast syncopation can be with one string. Slow your right hand sweeping down until left hand catches up. The right hand sweeping isn’t what is fast, it’s the left hand that is fast. The sweep is a short movement, so it’s so easy to get ahead the left hand. Think about the fact that when you strum 1st position cords your are actually sweeping with the right hand way faster than you ever sweep picking arpeggios.
I just wanted to thank you all for the encouraging support and sharing this video! I am glad to help inspire and fuel your progress! Looking forward to hearing where you take this.
Brian Auer first I just wanted to say thank u because this is awesome and I have been using it to practice. I can now officially sweep thanks to u. I have a question, notes that u tap and pull off played at the same speed as the rest of the notes? Are the notes all triplets? I'm just slightly confused because they Way the sweeps fit with the beat it gives this really cool rotating feeling and I just want to make sure I'm playing it correctly. Hope I made sense.
Jacob Mitchem yes that did answer my question perfectly! Now it makes perfect sense and ur totally right, that rotation is exactly what made me want to play this and it just sticks with me. I can't play it as fast as u but I'm getting there. Now that you've explained it, I'll understand what I'm doing. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years but I kind of stopped progressing for a good 7 years. Now that I'm listening to lots of metal, I have been inspired to get better and I can finally shred and play arpeggios and stuff. I don't know why I never tried before. Lol. Anyways thanks for answering my question and I look forward to more videos from u.
I simply can't imagine how anyone could possibly give this video a thumbs down. I've been playing guitar most of my life, and I'm a pretty accomplished player. The one thing that I struggle with the most is sweeps. Fabulous job man! But I have set my mind to doing nothing else but practicing sweeps. Thanks!
I’ve actually gave up on sweeping arpeggios many years ago coz I was just overloaded with too much of the same thing but YOURS IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL that I’m gonna dedicate time to learn this one just coz it’s a so much more melodically uplifting than the rest. Thank you for sharing your gift!
No joke, I spent 4 weeks practising this 2 -3 hours everyday sometimes longer and I am now able to play this at 0.75 speed. Thanks for this upload, I never thought I'd be able to sweep pick! Now to practise for the rest of my life. Haha.
Been 11 years ago , where have i been lol . I am no sweeper unless you count the kitchen floor . But i do believe this is the very best video I've ever seen on how to step it up and go to much higher levels ! Thank you for your time , knowledge and this great video , much appreciated
Sweet note selection, but your execution is absolutely amazing. I usually hate sweeping because it is so often butchered, I gave up on it a lifetime ago, but you're outstanding at that, wow.
+edgar alcantara Ideally, for good tapping you want to build calluses on your right/tapping hand's fingertips too. And you do that just like you did for your left hand: by playing a lot. With time your tapping will stand out more. Keep in mind also that the thicker string gauge you use, the harder it is to tap, so that can be part of the problem.
Imagine the days of learning stuff like this on your own. I started in '93...this kind of stuff was all but dead, but I dug through old magazines, ordered awful video tapes and taught myself. I'm proud to say that I can do this kind of stuff pretty dang well...without RUclips.
It will be a very long time before I can play this.. But you're the first one on RUclips to actually play something beautiful with sweep picking rather than insufferable metal shreds!
also keep in mind the backing track is adding to what makes it sound clean. It wont make up the notes but the extra tone gives you that much more clarity if your in time!
I don't get the back tracking as you had spoke about . How is this possible when your playing it right now ? I do apologize for being way out dated on all of this !
Ryan Compton 8 months later what the fuck is wrong with you guys XD I’m having fun. (Actually in the beginning it seemed so frustrating, but yousician fixed that)
Religiously, 4 to 6 hrs a day for about 4 years before I could play like this. I did that for probably 15 years. Slowly tapered off as I needed 3 jobs and started having kids. Now I just play whenever (Although I still play almost every day). The only thing I really lose are calluses. Overall, it was all par for the course. Never felt like work, I loved every minute of it and still do.
I like how you don't sweep up when going down through the arpeggio patterns at speed like Tony MacAlpine does, but you sweep up when playing the patterns slowly. Two different ways of practicing sweeps in one etude is a time-saver!
I always thought this was some crazy stuff I could never reach and while that might be true without practice and speed the technique is actually a lot simpler than I thought. Thanks for the video man, super helpful!
good question. Yes, they are hammerons. so there is a split second you have to time in where your pick doesn't hit anything to get it in time smoothly.
Thank you!!.. Just have to work on muting anything that is not being played.. That is the secret to being clean...not so much the notes you pick, but how you mute the ones you don't want to sound. Some people use a mute to muffle the strings like a hair tie, rubber band, cloth/sock, tape, etc.... I would stay clear of that because I think it could end up as a crutch..but a lot of people do it and they are a lot cleaner than I am because of it..lol ....which is really all that matters ;)
@@BrianAuer I know of no "a lot cleaner than Brian". Your playing is breathtaking. I just can't understand how left-right hand coordination works like that. Specifically, how my right hand is supposed to keep the same single smooth horizontal movement at the same pace when my left hand has to hammer on multiple notes on some strings but not others. How do you do that?!
This is an amazing exercise! I even tabbed it out in Guitar Pro 5 w/backing chords so I can play along at a MUCH slower tempo. It's going pretty good except I'm having a hard to transitioning to each new pattern so quickly and smoothly; my fingers tend to bunch up (bleeding the last 2 or 3 notes together) when finishing each phrase in anticipation to starting a new one. Was this ever a problem for you?
Yes, I think I ended up using hammer-ons to make the transitions sound smooth. And gradually my sub-conscience added the picked notes as it wanted to hear them... This is achieved of course by practicing for a very long time to where it feels completely natural. I stared by learning Jason Beckers Altitudes when I was very young.. That might help you too.. I think the Guitar pro file is on ultimate-guitar.com
Not sure why all the negative comments , I thought it was a good video , you play very clean and have good skills. Im sure you are better than anyone that left a negative comment .
My friend...Let's just say that you've inspired me a great deal. I'm working on some stuff atm that was all inspired by YOU. Hopefully, being the master, my might like it when I post it. I am very curious, what drum machine did you use for this?
Finally got all the shapes down but i'm having some trouble running this to a metronome slowly. Is it 4/4 with a single beat like the clicks at the beginning?
When you do sweep picking do you use like a rag/sock down at around 1st fret to block out ringing? Cause when I sweep I have trouble getting that really good clarity :( Also what do you use for your tone?
This was a lot of help, especially the ending when I could listen closely and get the timing down, I was sweeping too fast at first, but this video really helped, now I sound impressive. Haha. Thanks.
+David Aghamalyan That's awesome that you met him on the concert!! If nothing else, though, this guys sweeping is AS clean as Yngwie. Yngwie an actually be really sloppy live at times.
True? I wasn't aware that chords were now a belief system? :p To my knowledge, the chord formula for m7 is 1-3-5-7. Doesn't matter what order unless you are looking to name an inversion/voicing. I also "believe" you can stack the same notes as many times as you like without changing the chord name. But that's just how I understood the study.
I am not sure what definition you go by but to my knowledge, the definition of an arpeggio is when you play each note of a chord separately. Therefore this is an arpeggio played in "concordance" to what the theory explains🎯
Julien Prégent I believe what you are trying to say is that this "Arpeggio" does not follow proper tertian harmony. Which may be true but still your argument is a non sequitur for the following reasons: 1. I never said here is an Em7 Tertian Arpeggio 2. It is clearly still an arpeggio ;) I appreciate the feedback though.
Bro couple things here. Number one is absolutely phenomenal lesson and performance! This is still amazing 11 years later!!! Number two is exactly how much BITCOIN did you get over the years????? lmaoooo I HOPE A LOT!!!!
Beautiful Im just starting to learn more on mettal an sweeps I try doing it all on my own and figuring everything out without lessons.. an I can't ha so this helps alot keep ut up man
I swear sir you are amazing. Sweeping and Tapping are my two goals to do when I get my electric guitar. I only have a classical guitar, acoustic, and electric acoustic. I've mostly been classical and a little bit of rock in my high school guitar class. I'm planning on buying an electric guitar one day so I can truly explore the amazing things I can play on it. I was thinking an Ibanez will do ... but I want strings that can let me tune low to Drop A.
I recommend hybrid slinky strings. Heavy bottom and light top! :D the thicker e B G strings sometimes hurt your fingers, so it's best to keep them smaller. And the E A D strings should be thicker so you can play nice rhythm. So I like those strings because you can play lead and rhythm. Especially if you like prog metal, or djent! Hope this helps c:
I went out and dropped $500 on a Jackson in March just to do this. I was planning on locking myself in my room and practicing even without the pandemic.
oh i'll take this for my sweep picking practice. Like it.Thx! My sweeping is like shit now and I was looking for some melody pattern from simple and slow to hard and fast. I gues your lesson is perfect.

One of the most beautiful progression of sweep arpeggios I have ever heard.
Thank you! 🙏
@@BrianAuer Soo clean to. It doesn't sound sloppy at all. How did you get to that point!
@@loveaboveall2382 Intense focus and repetition I assure you.
if you like this i can recommend freefall from rick graham to you, its really nice, too.
this guy sounds so much smoother than most sweep pickers!!
Michael Craig It's because he descends the arpeggios only with hammer ons which sounds way smoother
Much smoother than me for sure!!

Very good point.
I just wanted to thank you all for the encouraging support and sharing this video! I am glad to help inspire and fuel your progress! Looking forward to hearing where you take this.
lets see your picking pattern
I'll have to do a video for you on that. I am actually working up one for an old video of mine that was requested. I'll cover it in that ;)

That is awesome Celeste!!! Looking forward to hearing what you make of it!
Thanks, Brian! I'm also wondering how do you palm mute the strings when sweeping up?
this is incredible, sounds like an electric harp from Heaven. Best timing
and coordination I have ever heard on a sweep.
This is the most helpful sweeping video i've ever seen. Been practicing nonstop since i found it
Glad you enjoy it! Looking forward to hearing what you do with it.
I laughed audibly when it said your turn I’m flattered you think anyone other than you can play this 🔥
Did this man just predict stranger things intro 5 years before it came out?
SWAG rexxy lmao!! Maybe so! 🤣😂😎🎸
@@BrianAuer I was thinking the other exact same thing lol
I think the the stranger things melody is just a major 7 arp
yo this lesson blew me away. I learned so much in 2 minutes and you never yakyaked at us for 10 minutes like most videos do. Nice work. I'm hooked.
Your performance was soooo clean!! The hammer ons and pull offs sounded just like the picked notes!!
he is unbelievable!!
Been 11 years ago , where have i been lol . I am no sweeper unless you count the kitchen floor . But i do believe this is the very best video I've ever seen on how to step it up and go to much higher levels ! Thank you for your time , knowledge and this great video , much appreciated
You're welcome! Thanks a million for the nice words!
Love the sound of sweep picking brian yours sound like running water, so melodic and flowing...brilliant.
I still love to come back and listen to this. It sounds so soothing.
Very nice . Real melodic and useable. It feels really natural to play, which isn't true of all sweep forms. Thanks!
Thank you!
the coordination and timing was perfect and it was so clean
it was like...... your soul was in sync with your guitar.
That was the most amazing thing I've ever heard mate.
Sweet note selection, but your execution is absolutely amazing.

Yeah the guitarists of today have it way easier than we did. I thought my REH videos were a step up but youtube changed the game for sure.
I remember watching this way back in the day. This helped me a lot with learning sweep shapes. 🙌

I agree with Peter, most flawless sweeping and timing of course being the key! It is Batio clean! Thanks for the lesson!

glad you still like it man.
I love this exercise. I’m only through the first 3 sequences and I’m working on my tempo. Can’t wait to see if I can finish it and get it up to speed!
I saw this videos 3 Years ago and I’m already at 85% of being able to play it fast and clean....even tho I rarely practice this piece
Probably sounds just as cool at that tempo! Nice work!
I always thought this was some crazy stuff I could never reach and while that might be true without practice and speed the technique is actually a lot simpler than I thought. Thanks for the video man, super helpful!

or bend harder lol
Good luck !! xD
Transpose it down 2 steps mi amigo
How you do that ?
Hartificial Harmonic ?
eddieisfiction mmmh yeah i've got it, very useful thanks !
great set up as far as the break down and over head tabs, more people should post lesson's like this, epicly helpful. thanks man.
It's nice to hear some sevenths and ninths. The strictly triadic-thing was really overdone in the late 80's.
Not sure why all the negative comments , I thought it was a good video , you play very clean and have good skills. Im sure you are better than anyone that left a negative comment .
Thanks James. I wonder that myself sometimes? I just settle with the thought that you can't please everyone ;)
My friend...Let's just say that you've inspired me a great deal. I'm working on some stuff atm that was all inspired by YOU. Hopefully, being the master, my might like it when I post it.
I am very curious, what drum machine did you use for this?
This man knows what he's doing...there's nothing more awesome and serene than 7 chords
i saw that you go hammer on the sweep instead of doing up strokes?
Amazing! You look so natural doing it
Finally got all the shapes down but i'm having some trouble running this to a metronome slowly. Is it 4/4 with a single beat like the clicks at the beginning?
Nice work good lesson.
When you do sweep picking do you use like a rag/sock down at around 1st fret to block out ringing? Cause when I sweep I have trouble getting that really good clarity :( Also what do you use for your tone?
Thank you Michael!!! means a lot coming from such a well versed musician such as yourself ;)
Nice video, very helpful.
This was a lot of help, especially the ending when I could listen closely and get the timing down, I was sweeping too fast at first, but this video really helped, now I sound impressive. Haha. Thanks.
I don't see where u r upstroking? So after the finger pull of where does ur pick go on the up stroke
THIS. HOW.
hammer ons from nowhere. it sounds great whether hes picking it or not
Sweep picking going down is easy, but of course he had to sweep pick up while tapping and doing harmonics!! Insane!!!!
i don't understand a single word in the title except the "tab" part, nevertheless, i still enjoyed the video
SkyMaster Albani titles are overrated 😎🎸 glad you enjoyed the video.
Hey man, thanks for the awesome lesson. Might take me a while to get up to speed but I've been looking for sweep lessons for a while, so thank you!
Look up CAFO by Animals as Leaders
This is just godly. Even slowed down playback it still looks fast. If I played as well as you I'd feel like I hit the roof of guitar playing
Sweep Pickings looks so easy, but it is so damn hard! :( i am learning sweep pickings for over 1 and a half year and i still can't sweep :'(
Me too (:( )
Get a broom dude
Bro if you still need help reply to this I’ll give you my @ on Insta or something
Pretty cool sounding soloing !!! Pretty amazing and technically difficult, very awesome !!!
I'm a big yngwie malmsten's fan but I have to say that actually you're more clean than him
Braian Douglas i have to disagree its almost impossible to be cleaner than Yngwie met him recently on the concert he is actually God!
+David Aghamalyan That's awesome that you met him on the concert!! If nothing else, though, this guys sweeping is AS clean as Yngwie. Yngwie an actually be really sloppy live at times.
Yngwie plays sloppy as hell. But its part of his charm
well this is pre recorded. Pan is jumping from right to left in different parts. So must be just best cleanest takes
This is the most fluent sweep I've ever heard
i have that guitar, that strap, that shirt, those shorts, and that facial hair... wtf...
thanks for this, I am slowly making progress on this technique and your video really helps
You’re welcome Brad. Glad this helps out.
it's not really a true em7 arpeggio b/c you're doing 1-3-5-7-3-5-7, thus not repeating the root E on the g string 9th fret
True? I wasn't aware that chords were now a belief system? :p
To my knowledge, the chord formula for m7 is 1-3-5-7. Doesn't matter what order unless you are looking to name an inversion/voicing. I also "believe" you can stack the same notes as many times as you like without changing the chord name. But that's just how I understood the study.
Not a "correct" arpeggio would be more accurate
True = "being in accordance with the actual state of affairs"
I am not sure what definition you go by but to my knowledge, the definition of an arpeggio is when you play each note of a chord separately. Therefore this is an arpeggio played in "concordance" to what the theory explains🎯

Bloody hell that opening was the most amazing thing that I have ever heard
Thank goodness for the pause button I'm going to be here a while

Thanks man. Just get a solid tail. (No tremolo/whammy bar) You should be able to tune it to what you like without major adjustments to the guitar.
Your welcome Sara! Thanks for the complement.
This is awesome. Incorporating tapping into my sweeps is what I am having trouble with. I think I just need to practice to get it sounding clean.
It's videos like this that are going to make me into a better guitarist. Thanks man
You're welcome!! Glad ya liked it ;)
I have actually profected this pattarn since I dropped that comment man. Thanks for the video.
I went out and dropped $500 on a Jackson in March just to do this. I was planning on locking myself in my room and practicing even without the pandemic.
Amazing technique bro. Getting sweeps the way I want them has been a long process.
Thank you for this video, it gave me an idea to create my own sweep and tap lick, thank you!
dude u are awsome.Better than other youtubers just talking bullshit and providing useless pratice tab
oh i'll take this for my sweep picking practice. Like it.Thx!
My sweeping is like shit now and I was looking for some melody pattern from simple and slow to hard and fast. I gues your lesson is perfect.
