Alfred Potter Guitar Super impression of a metronome! I bought a Korg metronome that does everything including markeing the tea...BUT it has one very annoying thing that you can't change, it doesn't click, but beeps! You can change the tone of the beep to be in key but it's so much hassle.
I've always thought that sweep picking was something I was never gonna be able to do but your videos has me on the right track and feel 100% confident that I'll get there in a few more months.
Started this a few days ago and it has added that last piece of the puzzle I was seeking. I knew it was to do with timing but cycling the starting point has evened everything out. Nice one mate, cheers!!
Starting point cycling sounds like permutations. This is a very useful concept indeed. I played drums for a bit and took lessons and all the basic drills were cycled in terms of starting point. When I started playing guitar I started doing that too.
@@AlfredPotterGuitar hahah! I knew I wasnt crazy! But why havent so many people figured these things out? If you really think about it... theres only a handful core concepts to understand here. And then everything is unlocked!
Yes ! And one more time, start it slowly and speed up the tempo only when you mastered it at low tempo... The hardest thing (for me) is to alternate with a rythm, a solo, a sweep, another rythm part....
Fantastic tutorial , I'm getting fairly good at sweep picking and can do 5 string sweeps. Iv always been a finger style player so going to a pick was a bit strange but am getting used to it. I love your channel and you should have many many more subscriber. Once again brilliant tutorial , keep up the great work and that is one beautiful guitar . Best wishes from Liverpool. Dave.
Yes I imagine it is strange. Seeing as guitar was invented to be played with fingers (not a pick!). No wonder we all seem to struggle. Good luck to you, Dave
Hey alfred im sorry to detract from the point of the video, but it kinda stuck with me that you were muting parts of the recording, idk if that annoyed you or not but its an easy fix if you wanna take the time, what i found is when you record for a video, either before or after the recording, try capturing the "dead air" its kind of a sound that is quiet, but also kinda loud. If you watch back, theres a sort of hum thats supposed to be invisible but because you cut off sound all together, it brings the dead air into focus, idk if it was creative decision to take it out but thats an easy way to fix it

Glad to hear it!
Never heard of the concept of varying degrees of difficulty between picking sections like this before. Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah man, it was the only way I cleaned up my sweeps.

I am so pleased! I have never heard anyone else talk about it either, and yet it helped me so much when I came up with it. Keep going, and good luck.

You are coming along very well, so keep doing what you're doing! Yes, my sweeping exploded the moment I started cycling the starting points.
@@AlfredPotterGuitar sweeping in general is easier than alt picking, isnt it?
Absolutely

Hell yeah. Tried this last night. Dude this helped like instantly.

It's a bastard.

Yes they use totally separate parts of my brain

a_360quickscope probably just a noise gate on his mic. Yup it’s annoying but oh well
Still an informative video.
I’m a bit confused, is sweep picking basically an arpeggio, but every 1, 3 and 5?
Sweep picking is a technique used to play arpeggios.
Seems like you have been mislead regarding the definition of an arpeggio
