thanks dude.. but it didnt state how to practise it.
what is the correct way to practise?

 

[fenderrules]

go slow at first, then speed up when your right hand gets more stronger and steadier...

paul gilbert has excellent sweeping techniques. search up paul gilbert on youtube. theres a lesson on sweepign arpeggios available.

cheers

 

[weijin]

i'll go take a look on it

i don't think pg has good sweep techniques...his is string skipping...check out this guy francesco fareri for sweeps. or jason becker

pg doesnt sweep much. try steve vai, not bad. malmsteen good too. but my vote goes to jason becker! woots!

i will sure try that out

maybe you could try canon rock you know the one by jerryC? it has plenty of sweeps in it. i think.

 

[ShredCow]

Mr Jason Becker has some good sweeps that cover your standard shapes & patterns... I would think that his sweeps are quite "basic" in terms of pattern/shape but to attain his smoothness & stamina, well... 8O

If you wish to move to something more advanced, even exotic or more un-usual, you should check out players like Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale & even Richie Kotzen (as mentioned above). Frank Gambale is ridiculous though...

 

[weijin]

uh..

thanks dudes...
now i've practising hard when i have time too..

sure will master it

 

[fluid]

if sweeping is a struggle...

there is one song that has a lesson vibe in simple arpreggio patterns and sweeping. a very strong melodic instrumental with arpreggios n sweeps used as build ups. friendly to play along.

Message in a dream - Vinnie Moore on his 1988 'time odyssey'.

have fun learning.
