could you please bring up this event in sweden in your next video it would be a huge help
May we please get more videos like this? It's a really cool concept for not only us to learn the same knowledge as you, but it also gives you the ability to show off your friend here and get him the attention he truly deserves because the man is clearly a BEAST. 🤘 Collab also? 😁
Internal server error 😔 Now I’m just gonna suck at guitar forever....
Thanks for that :D
Doing decent "passable" sweeping isn't really as hard and scary as most people perceive it, the hardest part is making it all sound clear and fluent. Props to Ola for always learning and evolving!
This, and when we start going into patterns that aren't just up-down plus other shapes beyond minor, major, and diminished. But sweeping is such a fun world to explore much like other techniques
Well this applies to guitar playing in general (or any other instrument as a matter of fact).
That's why at least for me, clear and fluent arpeggios are played better with alternate picking and not sweep
I've been learning a bunch of Between The Buried and Me songs like Selkies and Alaska, progressing slowly through each riff. They got a lot of wicked technique, and a lot of the sweeping parts are frankly easier than their fast alternate riffage, take opening of Backwards Marathon for example. Anyways, I gotta get back to practicing lol.
Honestly seeing this makes me feel better as finally learning guitar at 25 instaed of dicking around and just learning songs.
4:59 - Jon - And the idea is not to do it super fast, the idea is..
Ola - Can you play it super fast?
Ola knows what we want.
If you can play it slow, you can play it fast.
@@forkless Come over to my house and watch me prove your statement wrong, lol.
@@forkless ling ling
@@wookiedookie7131 it's a meme joke from twosetviolin.
i'm actually impressed at how simple jon makes it look, and it's very helpful
I’ve seen so many sweep picking tutorials and it looked impossibly difficult but this one is so easy to learn
Thank you😊
Practice! Practice !
This is THE best sweep picking instruction and advice I've seen. I went from not being able to sweep at all to being able to sweep almost anything slowly and some easier stuff quickly because of this. You've really found a kickass teacher there Ola.
Same but 4:50 makes me wanna quit
Jon is a beast but such a nice and humble person. Love his insta page. He’s giving back so much for free basically. Lots of respect for him. One of these days I have to book him and get a few lessons.
Because he's one of those guys that knows that you re not losing information while teaching. Its a way of learning too if you think about it. You re picking up basics and reviewing things
Jon is such a good teacher, he points out the common mistakes you do/can do and tell you of the way to avoid that and explains it in a simple and understandable way. I wrote him a while back ago concerning sweeping and he was kind enough to teach me a thing or two. Above that he´s an amazing guitarplayer :)
holy shit, the whole landing on the next string concept is the single most valuable tip no one has ever mentioned before
*Holds Broom confused*...am I in the wrong place?
Get to work Daniel-san.
Nice MUSE picture :))
@@philvance6167 This scene went through my mind too
Kmac fans, rejoice!
LOL that simple thing of turning a sweep around with a downstroke was basically what was missing in my sweeping technique. Always had problems with the turn around and it fkn blows my mind how i never thought of doing it this way, because this really was like flipping a switch for me xD
same except im still bad lol
Love this kind of content, Ola!! Your channel not just for the sake of entertainment, but also makes us a better player too. Thanks 🤘🏼
Jon's the best teacher I've ever had. I've made a ton of adjustments to my playing. Even this past week I've made huge adjustments I wouldn't have without his guidance. I hope I can keep taking lessons from him indefinitely
Jon is awesome, I can only recommend his Patreon!
That guy pretty well rips! Been a subscriber of his for a couple of years, now.
You're in good hands, Ola.
Ola: “Can you play it super fast?”
Jon: “You asked for it.”
I follow Jon's everything... he's such a great player and teacher.
Sweeping is one of the greatest things with the guitar. Great lesson!
When u both love Bradley Hall and Ola Englund's content. Instant click. Instant like.
These are great exercises! I'm guessing most of us don't spend nearly enough time practicing these techniques. It's nice to have someone like Jon help us slow down and focus on the little details. Jon's Patreon page is pretty sweet too.
Jon has ment the world in my progress as a guitarist! Superior teacher!! 😌🙏🏼
Ive been playing for 27 of my 36 years on earth, that one correction of a downstroke on the lowest note blew my mind. Guess I can sweep now. Thanks Mr. John...And Ola.
I feel like this will help me a lot with my sweep picking that just can't seem to go faster than step dad speed. Thanks guys.
Im taking lessons from Jon via Skype. Very good person, professional guitarist and teacher. He dramatically improved my guitar playing technique. I totally recommend
This is an amazing lesson, just what I was looking for. Ola the bro putting out great content.
This is awesome. The up vs down stroke at the end of the sweep was a real eye opener 👍🏼
Just got my Solar GC1.6TAW- White yesterday. I will be trying out this lesson! Great guitar btw!!!
Super bra och mycket lärorik video fler av dessa! :)
Håller med!
Using a Tabata Timer for this is really helpful.
Put the work time, rest, and cycles if wanted.
Very insightful! Thank you for the vid Ola! 🙏🏼Much love from Chicago IL!🤘🏻🤙🏼
Was waiting you show us how to clean your office. 🤣💖
I follow Jon since the release of Solars. 😉
Jon is the best teacher i recommend to check his channel
Okay ngl that part with “ending” with a downstroke (outside picking) on the sweep triplet was a eureka moment for me (2.40) Have no idea why I never thought of that. Can’t remember the last time a single tip has helped me that much. Instantly improved my sweeps! Thank you for this:-)
this almost makes me want too sweep pick, good job guys
Awesome Ola the sweep pickerer 🤘🎸
Amazing guy super humble and kind also he is an excelent musician i really recommend his patreon page lml
I've been using some of Jon's 10 minute workouts for the last month or so (and his alt picking warmup for the last 2) and they've been quite helpful! He's a monster player.
That purple guitar is so beautiful
Had to come back and edit the comment. It just might be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen ^^
Just recently found out about Jon. Holy Cow! Such a clean and masterful player.
damn I like how he explains everything, he makes it so clear and easy
Really cool ive learned twos swerp picking and how to say his name awesome.
the beast is about to be unleashed with these skills. holy shit, gitaar-damnnnnnnn @_@
Jon is an amazing guitarist
Love watching this stuff, my biggest problem being sloppy sounding, I cant sweep, so this is a good video. Thanks to both of you
It's all in the muting. I highly recommend practicing with a metronome to stop yourself from going too fast and making things sloppy.
@@givemeajackson I agree, metronome and drum beats will get you to a new level. Today I will break out my metronome.
It woud be fun to see weekly updates on your progress Ola!
This was awesome, more stuff like this!!
That Solar that Jon is using is beautiful!
Hey Ola :)
Short Question, How you Setup your DAW to Capture the Sound into your Recording Software?
I would like to Stream some Recording Session on Twitch.
The only way i found was with "VoiceMeter" but.... holy crap, the latency is horror-terror-fucking-damn-creapy-shit.
I can remember that you some Month ago talked about a "VST-Effect" that broadcast your stereo Out onto a Broadcast server and that will bring you the sound of your DAW into OBS....
Well, it looks like google isnt my friend currently OR... i'm to stupid to look for...... ok... the last can be but thats not the point :)
Can you Tell me short how do you capture your Output?
I'm currently using:
Windows 10 (i know it sucks)
Behringer Uphoria UMC 1820 USB Interface
Streamlabs OBS Broadcaster
Cubase 10.5 Professional
Kind regards
Jon is awesome! His lessons are great!
I've been following him since 2016 and his Children Of Bodom covers. He's a brilliant player and teacher, I'm glad to see that his hard work paid off :D
Great vid! I've been following Jon for a while. Great player and teacher🤘🤘🎸
Great breakdown on sweeping!
Hey Ola, love your channel. Just a little idea for your S.W.O., show us a part of a song/riff with a new technique you've just learned. This will inspire new and experienced players to keep on working on their skills.
I was just watching Jon jam yesterday, such a shredder.
Ola picking that shit up super quick. Hes already a killer lead guitarist. Beast is about to be unleashed. Ola stick with sweeping dude!!!
those guitars are gorgeous!
Good to know im not the only one whos just now learning to sweep pick
Thanks for the free lesson today 🤘🎸🤘
Ola your guitars are beautiful! from what i have seen in the community recently regarding quality and sound im starting to second guess my next guitar purchase which was gonna be a Gibson. How can i get my hands on one here in Canada?
"And I suck at sweeping..."
-"Yess..."
Brilliant lesson, thanks gents!
This Jon Bjork is fucking amazing.
Already spent hours on John's youtube, also waiting for the month to roll over to jump on the patreon. Awesome video.
Why you guys did this video unplugged? Why Jon didn't plugged to an amp in the clean channel or something? I mean, it still works this way, I'm only wondering.
Jon: Up, up, up, up down.
My PC: Babality!!!!
That purple one is nice. I wish the head-stock was the same color.
Ohh i was stuck because i wasnt resting on the next string. Thank you!! Iv never heard anyone address that problem yet in a video.
Great lesson! Thanks for the link also!
Just begin slowly eventually you well get there, that being said it really hard in the beginning to get it fast and clean. It took me a really long time but suddenly it just worked for me
I love this!
More from this please 👍
That's one humble dude. Would love to learn from someone like him!
What I would like nearly as much is the evertune model Ola is playing with the finish of the fixed bridge model Jon is using, please!
Check out Jon's Patreon. That's how I started with him. He has guitar coaching where you send him a video and then he sends. You a video lesson back and material.
Recorrected years of sweeping wrong because of watching this. Thank you for filling In the gaps for me!
its funny to see two legends talk to each other
Holy Moly on a Goaly xP Why no one hasn't told what to ACTUALLY do with your pick while sweeping? All the tutorials what I've seen have only told like "you have to just glide your pick over the strings like this" and then they just keep swoopin and poopin and I can't make any sense of their stupid lessons because they just didn't show this one little detail that actually might made all the difference whether or not I might actually be able to sweep after all. We'll see, have to try it once I'm done with this comment :D Because of all those other tutorials I've always thought that you actually have to glide the pick over the strings and it just never sounds good. This guy actually digs in quite deep and is actually picking the strings rather than tickling them like you'd have a feather in your fingers. Because of how he does it, it might actually made sense to me, finally. And yes I actually used this word way too fucking much. Sorry but actually not sorry :D
2:40 is a revelation for me, my downstrokes always sounded bad and that changed everything.
Jon is so amazing
I am no expert but I have been sweeping comfortably for a long time now and I tried this out. My 'newness' to this method aside, I feel like this is more complicated than the way that I learned it. With his picking technique your picking hand is almost always ahead of your left hand. Being that the main issue people seem to have with sweeping is keeping their hands in sync (and of course muting) this seems like added complexity by having one hand one step ahead of the other instead of simply together. The reasoning for the added complexity (as he stated) was (essentially) for a secure feeling to make sure you don't hit the wrong string but is that a problem people actually have when sweeping? It's always the next string so idk how you run into that problem. Not to mention this makes sweeping seem less fluid since its a series of bouncing to and stopping at the next string. Also turning around when you hit the low note but then suddenly skipping resting on the next string just seemed awkward.
Both of these guitarists are immensely talented and I'm not trying to take anything away from that. Also I always appreciate people willing to put out free lessons. I'm just curious if this method deserves some criticism.
Greetings from Germany
Ok, I have to be honest here. The way he said to hold the plectrum and the motion of the hand actually made my sweep sound clean for the first time. Holy shit. 5/5 Would sweep again.
Super Helpful. Thanks dude
Great job good lesson
Damn, I want that guitar Jon is playing. Beautiful. Purple AND roasted neck? Can't find it on the website though, help!
yo this guy is legit! thank you ola!
Awesome vid yo, would love to see a Will it Chug on the OR15
woah, i love that purple solar! :o
The best lesson
I just switched to string skipping, and now this comes along.
I thing that string skipping is harder than sweep. Because sweep has a flow, and string skipping breaks it
@@pedrosilvaproductions the trick is to mix hybrid picking with string skipping and sweeping, to have multi technical approaches to groupings of notes, then different picking accents per note. Then tapping and slides from shape to shape or note grouping. Then various patterns leading into bends, or rakes or sweeps leading into bends.
I find that its easier to "flow" with a "hammer ons from no-where" approach to sweeping and string skipping. You can have limitless fluidity through chord changes with accents from the right hand.
Kudos Ola for having the open mind to admit and facing your "short comings" regarding your playing.....How many other professional musicians are willing to admit/face their faults in public?.....That takes major cajones You sir are a GOD among men!
good lesson and I have to say i like the no shoes feel that other countries have (i'm american), seems more relaxed and chill
The thing that's always plagued me is how to change picking direction when combining sweeps? I never know if it's supposed to be a downstroke or upstroke, I just sloppily start the sweep over. Thanks for this!
could you please bring up this event in sweden in your next video it would be a huge help
Jon is an insane guitarist
Jon's patreon is incredible guys, seriously check it out.
Hell yeah great video!
Hey Ola, is Jons model a "AB1.6HTPB trans red purple mate"?
Yes sir
i have the same problem with sweep picking as i have with tapping. make it sound clear, defined and without unwanted noise at higher speeds.
I love that purple one :O
Late to the party, but does this mean we'll hear Ola sweeping in his next album? (or Sunday riff challenge?) I think it'd be epic to see him go from "I suck at sweeping" to showing what maybe 1-2 months dilligent practice can do
Jason Becker licks ❤
Altitude ❤
Greetings Ola the learnerer! You recall Sylosis-ish riff on you last Sunday with Ola and this particular sweep move on 5:04 reminds me of Empyreal by Sylosis;) Btw, Josh told on one of his streams that it would be great to have a coffee with you, make it happen pls:)
