Sweep picking
Asked by Dave Sharman | 4049 days ago

Hello Dave, I’m trying to get my sweep picking down but it just doesn’t sound as clean as it should, could you offer any advice or a few exercises to work on?

Hi Chand, thanks for your message, the best approach is to take things nice & slow and play the exercise at a speed that is comfortable with all the notes clearly sounding. Here’s a nice arpeggio that works well for all the fingers on the left hand and only needs one down-stroke followed by one up-stroke from the right hand.

One down stroke for A string 12th fret – D string 11th fret – G string 9th fret – B string 10th fret – E string 9th fret – E string 12th fret.

One up stroke for E string 9th fret – B string 10th fret – G string 9th fret – D string 11th fret – A string 11th fret.

Work on this very slowly at the beginning until you can play it much quicker but is still comfortable, good luck! Dave
