This sweeping technique really has nothing to do with you sucking at guitar because it’s just one little technique that he chose to sit and learn day by day. Honestly a ton of professionals can’t do this simply because they never learned it. This is a small percentage of the amount of shit on guitar you learn so you don’t suck you just cant do this (yet) This technique also isn’t mandatory. It is amazing though
Holy Shit , Dude !! First time I've ran into one of your Videos or your name. Amazing skills. I had to immediately hit Subscribe. Looks like I now have a serious video for Sweep Picking to learn from. 🎸
@@lashedandscorned it depends. I use an average amount of gain; probably about 50% on a 5150 with a Tubescreamer out front. I also use a gate, but just to cut out buzz when I’m not playing.
The gear doesn't make the player, I've seen amazing guitarists play shit gear and they blew my mind! Perfect example would be Herman Li, he buys a cheap Amazon guitar, sets it up and he absolutely shreds on it!
@@1175jaymz 100% agree. Tone comes from your hands. Gear just accentuates it. I spent many years obsessed with gear when I just needed to be obsessed with practicing. Gear is really just pass/fail for me these days.
@@TheOccultationProject gone way too damn soon and your sweeps are on point bro. I can sweep like that I just have a really hard time working it into solos or even a progression. Nice job
Thanks! I really appreciate that. It sounds like A Harmonic Minor to me (I could be wrong). I made a short instructional video. The link is in the description.
@@chrisbauman2562 no, but I’d be glad to do a detailed video on modes, etc. I made a lesson video for this riff. Just sort of glossed over the theory there.
Lol. I use 2.0mm Dunlop Flows. They’re pretty rigid. It took me a while to get used to them, but they can offer more dynamic control. They cut right through the strings.
I use Dunlop’s as well. They have good picks with a decent amount of abrasive to hold onto them. I still can’t sweep pick but in time I’ll get there. Thanks for the video man!
What is that thing you do in the middle that looks kind of like tremolo picking. Does it have a technical name? I want to eventually learn how to do it
Stick with it. You’ll get it. Start slow and slowly decrease the amount of pressure you’re applying to the fretboard. Don’t increase speed until it’s clean and close to perfect. A metronome will help immensely also.
I would have loved to hear that again, but with the amp mic'd. I had a recording of Eugene's Trick Bag that I flawlessly played, but I heard more from the strings than the amp and it kind of took some of the magic away. But that being said, your sweeping is very smooth.
Thanks! It isn’t a song or anything. It’s just a couple fairly common shred licks: diminished arpeggios and a Phrygian Dominant mode. The pattern for everything is 6 notes per beat. I created a lesson for this if you’d like to learn it: ruclips.net/video/gbDU_DTHFlQ/видео.html
@@TheOccultationProject The reason I ask is that I seem to have the same pick-up setup and I can't find anything about them. Here in the Netherlands, PRS is not very common (yet) so I bought mine purely on feel and sound, but I have almost no background information. Funny thing I noticed is that you don't feel the weight of it while playing. It seems perfectly balanced.
The arpeggios are diminished 7th. The scale at the end is an E Phrygian Dominant. Here’s a lesson is you’re interested: ruclips.net/video/gbDU_DTHFlQ/видео.html
I’m sure everyone approaches it a little differently. There’s not really a right or wrong way to play guitar, but there are things that can help with clarity, fluidity, etc. Generally, for any electric guitar technique, it’s good to apply as little pressure as possible with the fretting hand. I also don’t try to pick too hard. It may sound like I do, but I think it’s just a product of both hands being in sync. I also use very thick and rigid picks. For sweeps, each hand has a specific function in my mind. The right is used to produce a fluid motion across the strings. The left is used to mute unused strings to dampen noise. You can mute strings using both hands or just one.
He’s so correct! I would add to concentrate on relaxing both hands while playing...well, anything, really...but it’s very important when sweep picking. It helps you to keep a light touch, which helps prevent fatigue. One final suggestion that is also very important to every aspect of playing guitar and every other instrument, and that is to begin learning every new technique, “trick,” chords, or even songs is... ...to begin at a slow tempo, *WITH* a metronome, and slowly build up to the regular tempo, little by little. Oh yeah, and, practice, PRACtice, PRACTICE!!!”
I picked it up in 2017 during the 20 Years Down n’ Dirty tour. I saw Bodom several times. That was the best show. Alexi absolutely destroyed. Still can’t believe he’s gone.
@@TheOccultationProject They are my favorite band! I've also seen them several times. The tour your talking about is the last time I saw them. In Philly. Keep shredding! Long live Alexi's legacy!

Yup
@@jrk10 Yes. Absolutely.
A lot of guitarist play diminished like this it's so common

Are u guys relatives?
@@TheOccultationProject Do you use a noise gate and relatively low gain? And if so, how much does it help?

Oh master ling ling How do you make that clicking sound when you strum like 4 times at the end?

Good technique. Now try My Pentatonic sweep technique. 😎
“Practice”
Thats not practice, thats showing off what has been mastered
Not mastered yet. Always a work in progress.
I’ve been practicing those same skills bro that shit is hard as hell to play

How do I get at this skill level in one week without practicing?
I wish I knew. I could’ve saved myself some time.
Omg. Can you teach me?
I’m not giving lessons at the moment, but I may in the near future when things settle down for me.
Yes i learn sweep picking for a month and still doesn't can't be like you, and i see this videos, and i want sold my guitar and buy a lot of tissue🙃
Keep trying! It takes a while. You will get it if you keep working on it.
Very good but you don't need to pick that hard. If you relax your hand you can go even faster.
Noted. I think I’ve backed off a little bit since I recorded this video. I use 2.0mm Dunlop Flows. They’re very rigid.
