Wah, gaps also scared... gasp!

Woohoooo! The sweeps that gapnap just posted....inhuman!
I remember you showing me the first figure before...bloody Matthias Eklund sweep or something.


Incidentally, the Young Guitar Demo from Jani Liimatainen has that similar sweep pattern also! Insane la!

Gapnap, sometimes when you're as good as you are, it's easy to forget that some of us are still human.

And no Mr Blacktrix you're not weird. Theatrical Metal FTW ok!

What theatrical metal.........

I just went for My Fair Lady......

If I hit Broadway, will go see Beauty And The Beast and Wicked.... unfortunately my favorite Producers just ended it's run there

But of all the big name broadway musicals, Phantom of the Opera is probably the most "metal" of them all..... heck.... even Nightwish covered it! It's actually quite a cool riff to play on the guitar...... I bet a sweep picking solo there would fit in nicely as it's very operatic in nature.....

see? see? see? You thought I was going nowhere with this rant.... but still manage to throw it back into topic!

I like Jesus Christ Superstar. . . got some whicked soloing in there. . . lolz. . .

ugh. . . i can't even do 3 string sweeps properly. . . you heroes all doing them 6 - 7 string sweeps. . . =.=

another insane sweep is the one from Neil Zaza's I'm Alright. . . 3 octaves on 6 strings. . . lolz. . .

if you have fingers of an orangutan you can just play aprpegios on one string. . . xD

just happened to stumble across this thread...
good stuff here...
would suggest the TS change the thread to 'recommended guitar exercise' rather than to solely focus on sweep arpeggios...
what say the mod?

Hmm I think I have to start Sweeping on bass

My furthest...is 4 string sweep. I suck I know ..
I cant get over JP for alternate picking the intro in Glass Prison. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

LOLZ

gigantour. . .when i saw i was like. . .

BBQ!!! showoff xD

but he is the alternate picking school. . . even steve morse alternate picks his appregios. ..

You mean the intro with the sweeping after the wahwah part?

damnit..i tried it over n over again..wei so hard how to pull of the fret 21 bck to 16..insane la..btw wat u guys mean string skipping?

lol sweeping, becker still give me nightmares. anyone manage to nail prepatual burn and serrana ?

i find sweeping nicer(the sound and tone). alternate picking arpeggios sound too strong. dunno how to explain
sweeping sounds more fluid and natural(thats why i prefer directional picking/economy picking/alternative picking/whateveritscalled)

Try listening to John Petrucci's Damage Control, especially the lick at 6:11.

If it ain't too fast, I prefer alternate picking arpeggios, gives me much more control.

yeah . . .a gree with rossie. . . more control. . . and the notes have more accent. . . also note that many ppl sweep in blurs. . . i for one still sweep in blurs. . . which i'm still working on. . . meaning all the notes just come and go and you can't really hear whats in between other than the frst and last note. . .

i got a friend who nailed the serrana apreggio. . . one of the best around. . . he started me up with all these speed stuff and he's an insane player. . . he personally knows Zack Kim and they jam together. . . lol. . . and them 2 use PG guitars =.=

Have you tried the sweeping exercise in Rock Discipline?
Nice exercise, but not enough to develop sweeping further, imo, but gives a good explanation of the concept behind it.

i just practice the sweep run in speed kills.. the arpeggio madness part. simple but should be productive i guess

. . . i'm just doing simple sweeping for now. . . just started and i lost my picking power due to MIA from my guitar for 3 weeks. . . gonna take me a while to get back in shape =(

hmmm..i used to sweep in blurs ..and i train up a little , then i get my sweep notes "clear"..

but the thing is ..once you get your notes clear , you cannot get the "sweeps in blur" sound anymore..which i miss it..sooooo much sounds more mysterious

so , i think there is no right or wrong in blur sweeping or clear sweeping , especially at this level ..it all boils down to what you want ..

sweeping in blur... some people might call you a noob for not playing cleanly =/
