Practicing Sweeps to Not Ready To Die

As I mentioned since I started to pay more attention to my sweeping technique I had to decrease the tempo a lot to focus on hand synchronisation. And as @Millie Imber and @Cedric L suggested I therefore learned the intro sweeps from Not Ready To Die by A7x.

My main focus here was hand relaxation, a more loose grip and tilting the pick.
Sounding great man! one thing I'd work on is when you're sweeping, to treat it as one continuous down stroke, instead of down picking each note in the arpeggio. It's tricky to get but you'll get there
I try to do that every time. And it actually feels Like I do it but doesn't Look Like it in the Video
It's hard to do with slower sweeps though

Gotcha! the trick to doing it slow is to sit your pick on the string you're about to pick and let it fall onto the next string in the sweep, by doing this you're picking the string you need and going straight onto the next string in one motion - if you let your hand continue it'll do a full sweep on the arpeggio in one big stroke
