Muzz Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Theres lots of videos up on Youtube which cover sweep picking. There is indeed, wow, long time between drinks on this post, one of my favourite sweeps is up the left hand side of the pentatonic scale and down the right hand side, _________14___17____________ _______14_______17__________ ____14_____________16_______ __14__________________16____ ____________________________ ____________________________ Another thing you can do with sweeping is insert a sweep or half a sweep cycle into a melody, I have put a link to an example with the second half of the sweep above slotted in with some tapping and standard picking, In the video I tried to play along with my improvised solo and I think I remembered most of the notes except one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
