    Great lesson, but uh, we have bit of a problem here...if you could just remember to put one of those cover sheets on your TPS reports, yeah...that would be great...

    Helped instantly. Literally sweeped better in the first 10 minutes!

    If you pick 3 notes per string then you end up 'continuing' to move in the same direction as you started. So if you are ascending (with all downstrokes) you will lead to the next higher string with a downstroke.When descending, you will change strings on an upstroke (like you should). Picking 2 or 4 notes per string would actually require you to 'alternate pick' the arpeggios and therefore would not work in this case.

    you're a fantastic teacher - I've applied your techniques to my own practice and will teach them to my own students...giving you due credit of course!

    I really respect the fact that you elevate your foot. I'm assuming you're classically trained because of that. I have been trying to learn Paganini's caprice 5, and although most of it is impossible to learn (at the moment), it serves me as an amazing exercise for sweep picking. What I do is I practice Paganini on my classical guitar, then switch to my electric and my sweep picking is almost always cleaner and sounds better after playing a piece that is far more difficult to play than most sweep picking arpeggios. Much respect!

  • @HowToPracticeGuitar
    @HowToPracticeGuitar  11 лет назад

    Yes (for this particular 5 string arpeggio), but for all the other notes in this arpeggio (and for most other arpeggios) you will be moving in the same direction up/down.

    Thank you very much, it's a very simple and time-saver exercise that really helps to make a sweep arpeggio more clean and fluid.

    @kipkom11 10 лет назад

    Great video! Noticed something about your picking style I think I'll adopt. Looks like you're using your wrist during the triplets, then as you move up or down to the next string your wrist stays straight while the movement carries through with your elbow.....I like that.

    i always practice the alternate picking in packs of 3 per note of a scale or arpeggio, just for my alternate picking... never thought of doing it with a sweep to switch strings... thanks!! btw 5 times per note is fun too for alternate picking, try it! =D

  • @thrasher305
    @thrasher305 11 лет назад

    Good lesson but when youre picking 3 notes per string youre always going to start the next in either up/down stroke. Not all down then all up as you stated. Unless its 2 or 4 notes per note.

  • @EtalonDuQ
    @EtalonDuQ 9 лет назад

    I have lots of problem with the right hand move. Like my pick is too hard and the strings are scratching when I sweep, i dunno how to fix that. I'm training at low BPM, but I don't really improve...

    yo great lesson; by the way the type of picking the exercise demonstrates is commonly called economy picking;
    -Thanks again

    Good video! Very helpful to those someone who wants and needs to not just practice, but practice correctly!
    One small thing, and the reason for the comment: Please normalize the different aspects of the videos audio. The volume of the output from the guitar is much too high in comparison to the narrator.. So a viewer has to turn up the volume to hear him talking, then turn it down when he's playing. It's exactly like when you're watching TV and a commercials audio is by magnitudes higher than the show you're watching, and everyone knows how irritating that is!
    I will be visiting your site, regardless though :)

    This is fabulous stuff but I think practicing with so much overdrive is counterproductive.

    • @russellcera5203
      @russellcera5203 9 лет назад +26

      Actually the opposite. The more overdrive, the more you practice to contain it using finger and palm muting. Not only is fretting and syncopating most important but learning to play cleanly through distortion is as well.

    It's impressive, but to me I don't think sweeping sounds good in general. Does anyone's favorite song have sweeping in it?

    • @yamanick92
      @yamanick92 9 лет назад

      Have you heard appregio tapping before? It essentially dissects the sweep picking lick, and stretches it out into a tapping lick, it sounds a lot better imo.
