I’m not nitpicking, I just want to save frustration for later viewers. This video has helped me IMMENSELY with this technique, but I had to rewatch the videos many many times because I just wasn’t getting it. On the 3-string sweep you start with, the tabs you provide are not the same as what you’re playing, and what you’re playing is definitely way easier to do. Your tabs went “12-11-10-13-11-12” (on the respective strings, but I can’t write tabs in a comment) but in reality you played “12-11-10-13-11-10” then repeat. That 10th fret on the g string was a GAME CHANGER when I finally realized it. So much easier to play and pick up speed when you don’t have to double pick the same note.
Aside from guitar techniques and the great videos Man anyone can be called a teacher but few are really able to teach You're inspiring dude Keep up the good stuff👍 Cheers 🍻
This is by far the best introduction to sweep picking arpeggios on RUclips. There is just enough information to keep you busy, without being bored. Always great content.
You are a great teacher, not all the wasted minutes of side talk and stories....much appreciated that you value students time by doing that...also love your 90 miles per hour delivery, keep up the good work...it’s helping me teach my students top play better
Great video. You are an excellent teacher and humble which in the ego centric guitar world is a breath of fresh air. The basic sweep technique using your arm was the most important thing I learned. Thankyou and keep on shredding!
Is this THE BEST sweep-picking-technique lesson on RUclips/anywhere-really? - Absolutely! This dude is gifted in many ways, not just musically, one of them is his teaching ability - how he reveals the assumedly complex/impossible to be simple & approachable - and well possible with the right practice & teacher. Great stuff as always Jake!
hydorah You can't create a gravitational field unless you have some sort of extra-terrestrial shit no one knows about. You could literally bend light as well as time.
@@j.hateshisjob5137 everything has a gravitational field of some size bro how do you think planets have gravity I mean there's no "special technology" in them
Thanx a lot for the muting strings part! There are so many really good instructional videos about sweep arpeggios around, but nearly ALL of them miss this part. And in terms of motivation, which for me comes out of a good tone, this is crucial. Very nice!
One of the first techniques I wanted to learn that got me playing guitar, and it's still eludes me. But your instructions are top-notch as always. Hopefully when I practice to this I might finally get some success. Thank you
I notice and appreciate the extra effort to teach people and offer things someone might want or not realize is helpful. some of these guitar related videos seem more about the ego of the video maker, than about helping people looking for help
Wish I knew where you were when I started around 16 years ago. It would have been such a fast track by avoiding all the filtering through books, cds, dvds, you name it! Absolutely love your work and a joy to watch. All the best and thank you for your time!
I've seen a bunch of your videos, and I have never thought you go through things too quickly. What I have thought is that you're the best teacher I have seen on RUclips. Really. Seriously. You're good! I don't have to sit through tons of extraneous stuff before you get down to teaching, and you don't wander off into tangential land every couple minutes. I really appreciate your lessons.
30 years and still my Achilles' heel. I never had the patience to practice them properly. As a young player in the Bay Area in the late 80's, I was bored to death by metal/thrash bands with Skolnick clones shredding three-string arpeggios in every solo. I do wish I had spent more time on them but not that much. That's why I never got my Shred Club membership card. Great lesson and thank you for the video. All the best from the Bay Area. MK
Most of my advancement in guitar skills is directly attributable to you. I've begun to learn things I never would have thought I could just a few years ago. Keep up the great work!!!🎸🎸
You, sir are an excellent teacher. In fact I think it's rare. You've got the talent, the techniques, a deep understanding of music theory *and* you also happen to be excellent at conveying your thoughts and lessons. = High value lessons.
By the way, I'm an old guy, and spend most of my time trying to break old habits of a strictly blues/rock player. Not easy when your old...love the channel, and your really helping guys like me that constantly look for things to inspire to keep picking the plank up...nice job. These sweeps , even though I will NEVER be able to do them at break-hands speed, are absolutely gorgeous in other styles as well....and great accents to lead fills...Very cool.
Wow, for you to acknowledge such a thing is impressive as it is.... i knew an older guitarist who was INCREDIBLE..... but he could only play really in A major lol..... Or whatever the key of judas priest and AC/DC is lol..... he could fuckin shred with the best of them though, but to try and get him out of his style was impossible.
Never say never. You can do it if you practice long and hard enough. The only way you are GUARANTEED to NEVER get it, is if you NEVER practice. Good luck!
Those exercises gave me the feel of the sweeping motion. Thanks a lot for this and great tips. Was able to perform sweep picking in a few hours with these exercises. It really is effective. Will include this on my warm ups from now on. Bless you.
holy shit, dude was born to teach, your videos are simply amazing, many thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and congratulations on your phenomenal work.
I've now watched like 5 sweep picking videos, read about it from 2 different books and practiced for like 2 hours. I had one question about the technique on my mind that none of these addressed before. Seeing your video on my feed and knowing your presentation and teaching methods I was fairly certain that you'd tackle the subject on my mind. Boy, I was NOT let down by you! Thanks and keep up the great content!
I really appreciate your teaching style, it's excellent. And as an older dude, I really appreciate your very clear pronunciation. It's such a nice thing to hear from the younger generation, gives me hope.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and others. I’ve learned so much watching you at least in a vernacular way. You have helped so much including me. Your videos are beyond perfect with you word choice, the way you present the subject, and how you explain it. Thanks again.
Fantastic video! You are so clear and organized in your application of sweep picking. This is the 1st video that actually made me feel like I actually have a shot at doing this. Thank you!
Thank you once again. So helpful. Just a tiny tiny point. The tab you show at 5:36 finishes on the 12th fret 3rd string, but you actually play the 10th fret 3rd string to finish.
So appreciative of the wonderful content. You explain things extremely clearly and you make various topics and techniques way more approachable because of your humble attitude! Keep it up, you're awesome!
I justt happened to stumble across this tutorial, and I just want to say thank you. I have never seen a more understandable explanation of this technique. Everyone else jumps straight in six string sweeps with loads of ho/pos, and it becomes this unobtainable goal. Definitely need to keep repping these excercises.
Everyone points out how "professional" his vocal presence is. Take that and the quality of his content always makes me feel like I should be paying for his stuff. He's a great freebie trainer.
great lesson! your videos are top notch. i was watching your middle finger in the sweep that started at 6:40, as you picked up speed and ascended chromatically the finger appears to stay planted!
Jeffery Lord he said to prevent the note from ringing you either have to move that finger or mute the string(with your picking hand). As long as the sweeps are played cleanly it doesnt matter which method you use. I'm one of the the people that moves their fretting hand :)
You inspire me to continue learning and give it in such understandable and well set up manner. Just amazing teacher - this should be a tutorial for guitar teachers!! Thank you so much for your work mate!
Thank you sir. This was hard for my 52 year old fingers as a beginner on the electric guitar. Very fun though. It is really a great exercise in general for me. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
It actually makes me feel better knowing that you have things that are difficult for you. When you said watching that other guitar player made you want to quit playing guitar... That's how I felt when I heard/saw Tosin Abasi play and when you talk about chords/theory cuz you just know the stuff like it comes so natural to you. I'm not quitting anytime soon though. Great vids
Simple but really effective! There are probably millions of guitarists out there who can shred at phenomenal speeds - not for me; like a super car, if it is going at 100 MPH, there is no way I can appreciate its beauty (as it is just a blur). Many thanks for such a great video.
You just remembered me one friend I had that never stop speaking, I do not even need to answer him, he just could talk for hours to me even I'm not really paying attention to him ... lol ... that your great videos dude !
Honestly your awesome. I’m the old guy been playing with the guitar here and there for about 12 years . Trying to get out of the Panatonic rut . Know a lot of theory. But I need to apply . Thanks again .. for the education….
This is seriously the best channel I have found! I've even created a playlist of just his stuff. I have learned much more from this man than from most of my favorite channels. I wish I was in a position where I could support Jake(?) on Patreon, but doubt not, I will be repaying the great favors! SMS- you my friend, ROCK!!! I wouldn't change a single thing in your videos, simply perfect! The content is challenging but within reach and the delivery is interesting, and not dumbed down, which seems to be the case on other channels now and then. Instead, it seems that you take the time to explain what you're discussing. Perfection!👌🏻🙏🏻 Rock on, good people! 👊🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎶🖤🦇🔥👏🏻🙃
Thanks for the lesson, I’m working on sweep picking, it is difficult, it takes patience and time, kind of the same difficulty for me when i worked on learning Travis style picking.
Man that brought back memories, picked up an exercise like this years ago on total guitar, (brit mag... remember magazines? lol) yeah...this is a great exercise for beginner sweeps, Could you do one with an example of how you could expand on the idea and how you'd apply it to an improv? Been working on this for sometime, but it's always great to see a different perspective
Great lesson, I started trying to learrn the guitar about tw0 months ago. I actually got my head around the theory, if only I could get my fingers to follow. I´m 56 years old, it´s never too late ;)
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Just the right ratio of theory to practice and just such a great teacher! Thank you! This is so difficult for me. Fretting the notes individually but picking them in one stroke... man oh man!
PSA: Just a heads up that the tab is incorrect at 5:40. It says 12-11-10-13-11-12 but he plays 12-11-10-13-11-10. I didn't see anyone mention this in the comments and it confounded me for a bit.
I had to subscribe to this channel because I love how in depth and detailed that he presented everything. Hope there are other videos like this on his channel! Thanks
You definitely have natural teaching skills. And you get to the point showing what needs to be done. I never tried sweep picking because I was always messing it up but the way you explained is simple to start doing it, plus adding exercises is the best combo possible. Subscribed, of course 🤟🏼😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks this was helpful, ive been in an intermediate slump phase where learning the tech but its still not applicable to music just yet (stopped playing for around 10 yrs played for 12 im 34 now) and just some of the smaller tips made real difference for me (the pick angle primarily) and the first exercise helped me learn to complete the loop if that makes sense (while my first shapes had hammer on the high e which sort of made the descending return timing easier, but once i get to the top the assymytry of the shape i was on made it frustrating to try and complete the loop after just a single ascent and descent. Your videos have been helpful with jumpstarting the music theory part of my brain back at it only a month but tons of progress has been made overall in recovery of ability.
9:53 I STILL haven't heard anyone better than Gambale. If anyone thinks they have a link to someone sweeping more cleanly, more controlled and more complex lines, please... let me know. Nice lesson on learning how to sweep pick.
What a cool video. You have a great way of explaining and showing the technique and I finally understand/get what sweep picking is. Now time to head to the woodshed! Thanks.
I've never been able to shred. I can do hammer-ons and pull-offs, but I could never figure out how people went from string to string so fast. I've seen guitarists doing something like this, it looked like they were just strumming, I had no idea it was a special picking technique. What a game changer. This will take some practice.
I saw Haken live in West Hollywood during the same tour; man, did you nail the description. Anyhoo, thanks for the great introductory video! I've been playing guitar as a hobby since I was 14 (I'm 30 now), and this helps me get my basic chops back after adult life causes the occasional guitar hiatus. Cheers from Los Angeles.
nonosh I started when I was 13, and I’m 20 now... I’m really feeling the pull of adult life telling me to put my gear in my closet and put my gear money toward a new car. It’s terrifying and sad, but it’s encouraging that it’s not forever. I mean, i still play rn, but not as much, and I know when I have a family and a career it’ll be even less and less. What was your “hobby hiatus” like?
@@maxonmendel5757 Hahaha dont even worry man, put thatmoney towards the things that you NEED in life! If your homeless, starving, and barely surviving you won't need a guitar anyways! Put thatmoney towards a car, get yourself right and in a few months you can get some gear! You'll be good, just keep pushing, always. I had a guitar hiatus recently for a couple years and have finally gotten sober, collected myself, and come back a better person than I've ever been. Decided to pick the guitar up again and dude....I have come back with a vengeance!!! I was pretty damn good before but I am surpassing limits I had previously placed on myself. Telling myself I couldn't do certain things. Anyways, you may have more important things to do right now in the moment but be patient and when you have the money and time to come back....hit it fucking hard dude, you'll be proud of yourself. (Remember, you don't have to stop, just stop spending all your money on new gear! Haha)

The magnetism of that microphone is so strong it creates a gravitational field that distorts his face. That's science that is
hydorah You can't create a gravitational field unless you have some sort of extra-terrestrial shit no one knows about. You could literally bend light as well as time.

E Crews Go to bed and try again with a refreshed mind. It helps a lot more than people say
No, keep going till you break. That's how I mastered sweeping
1:44am rn
ill play till i break
no, that is completely normal.......sleep later.
How are you now 2 years later? 😁

The angle of attack/ economy of wrist movement was a huge tip often overlooked by teachers. Great content

This channel is gold for learning guitar
you're a really good teacher, you patiently break down everything
God bless you for your videos ! I love this. This video is 5 yrs old but it’s new to me.

You definitely have natural teaching skills. And you get to the point showing what needs to be done. I never tried sweep picking because I was always messing it up but the way you explained is simple to start doing it, plus adding exercises is the best combo possible. Subscribed, of course 🤟🏼😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is my first time here, and I gotta say, your voice is amazing
I've been playing these 3 techniques over three months and I can now say I can sweep pick pretty well!
You made this fun. More useful than a lot of big name video lessons.
I appreciate that :)
What a legend this guy is. Thanks for being so awesome.
Best teacher ever
Thanks for helping me out of my sweep-picking rut.
I wish you were my physics teacher back in high school, the world would have made so much sense other than chasing aces!! Really liked this!
You are a great teacher. you explain all in a very understandable manner
Thanks this was helpful, ive been in an intermediate slump phase where learning the tech but its still not applicable to music just yet (stopped playing for around 10 yrs played for 12 im 34 now) and just some of the smaller tips made real difference for me (the pick angle primarily) and the first exercise helped me learn to complete the loop if that makes sense (while my first shapes had hammer on the high e which sort of made the descending return timing easier, but once i get to the top the assymytry of the shape i was on made it frustrating to try and complete the loop after just a single ascent and descent. Your videos have been helpful with jumpstarting the music theory part of my brain back at it only a month but tons of progress has been made overall in recovery of ability.
You are a great teacher, Amigo. Good job 👏
Great lesson and despite your youthful appearance, you're one of the best guitar teachers on Utube (IMO).
9:53 I STILL haven't heard anyone better than Gambale. If anyone thinks they have a link to someone sweeping more cleanly, more controlled and more complex lines, please... let me know. Nice lesson on learning how to sweep pick.
Damn somebody that knows what they are talking about, God Bless you sir

Fancy seeing you here Mr Truth. Big fan.
thanks for video was easy to follow especially since im just getting back into guitar after 35 years this will help on my journey
What a cool video. You have a great way of explaining and showing the technique and I finally understand/get what sweep picking is. Now time to head to the woodshed! Thanks.
this must be one of the best and learnsome video i have ever seen about sweeppicking
Great vid man...i personally like to practice with clean tone because I can hear better where I'm not being accurate and fix it.
If your video is referencing the deathklok coffee jingle tutorial video my day has been made
This was totally awesome. I like that you know that everyone wants different levels based on what they play!
I've never been able to shred. I can do hammer-ons and pull-offs, but I could never figure out how people went from string to string so fast. I've seen guitarists doing something like this, it looked like they were just strumming, I had no idea it was a special picking technique. What a game changer. This will take some practice.
I've been working on floating my wrist while doing alternative picking drills to make the picking angle consistent and pick faster.
Thanks for including the don'ts
I saw Haken live in West Hollywood during the same tour; man, did you nail the description. Anyhoo, thanks for the great introductory video! I've been playing guitar as a hobby since I was 14 (I'm 30 now), and this helps me get my basic chops back after adult life causes the occasional guitar hiatus. Cheers from Los Angeles.
nonosh I started when I was 13, and I’m 20 now... I’m really feeling the pull of adult life telling me to put my gear in my closet and put my gear money toward a new car. It’s terrifying and sad, but it’s encouraging that it’s not forever. I mean, i still play rn, but not as much, and I know when I have a family and a career it’ll be even less and less.
What was your “hobby hiatus” like?
@@maxonmendel5757
Hahaha dont even worry man, put thatmoney towards the things that you NEED in life!
If your homeless, starving, and barely surviving you won't need a guitar anyways!
Put thatmoney towards a car, get yourself right and in a few months you can get some gear!
You'll be good, just keep pushing, always.
I had a guitar hiatus recently for a couple years and have finally gotten sober, collected myself, and come back a better person than I've ever been.
Decided to pick the guitar up again and dude....I have come back with a vengeance!!!
I was pretty damn good before but I am surpassing limits I had previously placed on myself. Telling myself I couldn't do certain things.
Anyways, you may have more important things to do right now in the moment but be patient and when you have the money and time to come back....hit it fucking hard dude, you'll be proud of yourself.
(Remember, you don't have to stop, just stop spending all your money on new gear! Haha)
do u have any link so i can see him play? im kinda curious
Thank you. The arm/wrist thing seems huge. makes all the mechanical sense in the world! Going to play now.
