I was practicing some sweep picks, mainly C major arpeggios.

1. Lift fingers slowly after fretting to avoid a pull off accidentally. Use palm flesh when down sweep.

2. Use less of the tips, more of the fingerprints, and when sweeping up, this helps in muting the previously sweeped string.

But I got a bit itchy and just draped a thick string over the first few frets (you can also use a rubber band) so I don't even have to bother about my muting quality anymore.



I saw and read that many pros including Batio uses a string dampener as well.

What say you ? To 'cheat' or not to 'cheat' ?
