sweep picking IV

sweep picking IV

my sweep picking has come across massively lately especially thanks to bill hudson!
I found that when i was barring and rolling to play multiple notes on different string but same fret the notes werent clear or played together. So, using the lessons on sweeping I developed this new kinda way i'm quite liking. Hope it helps!
Me and Bill have been talking arps, and he introduced me to a bunch of different shapes and the notes in the etc etc, and he said they're great to sweep. So, I'm practising sweeping using one of syns etudes (forgot which one tho!) I'm aiming to get this as clean and well timed as possible, so practising it real slow!
Me and Bill have been using Basket Case by Green Day to help with theory. We have been talking about triads over the correlating chords and so here it is! just a short clip as I fuck up, lose it then start again... its a long process but so fun!
This is 150 BPM. It sounds annoying but is great for alt picking! Now just to get this speed perfect!
Bill Hudson has teached me so much its unbelievable! I'm so happy @[5:@Jak Angelescu] took the time to tell me what he was like as a teacher and person and it didn't disappoint! heres an exercise.... start with one key, i.e, C, and go down the first major scale and up the next and keep going till you get back to the first one after the 12th fret, now go BACKWARDS along another key and repeat! I went c, to G , to E. It's tough. I'm doing 130BPM at 2 notes per beat. It's a work in progress but i find its real fun!
American Idiot full play through
Love playing along to GreenDay! What do you guys think about my playing, any improvements I could make?
Still tryna get used to standing up, but im doing all my practise standing now!
Nightmare riff and chorus
Love playing to this song and I'm enjoying the tone. Need to work on that sustainiac pickup!
Thanks @[477:@Ids Schiere], @[3987:@Dominik Graeber] and other fkr the advice. I've tried to move my guitar less, and use mostly my wrist and fingers to do the vibrato. Again, not a cover just vibrato practice, and I was just messing with the solo taking the chunks I thought would be best to practice with! :)

Vibrato practise

Little bit of vibrato practise (snipet). I used the so far away solo to practise, and just used different segments in random orders. This isnt a cover or anything, just vibrato practise, so timing etc doesnt bother me, just the vibrato :)
Seize the day solo

Seize the day solo

pretty good go and very happy with it. feel like the bends were nice. however, that pentatonic run ALWAYS fucks me up no matter how much I practice lol. But its nearly there! What do you guys think?
The stage solo

The stage solo

Pretty happy with this came out, much better than my very first attempt on this site!

Shepard of fire solo

more of a progress vid, would love to hear feedback so I can improve in areas. But onwards and upwards for now!

So far away

10 years since the Rev passed... FoREVer remembered and loved x

CAGED tips

This mother fucker killed me to understand for some reason! This is how I understand the CAGED system. It may or may not work for you, but does for me! Hope I didn't fuck it up! Cheers!
Tried so hard not to choke - but I did ! Just need to work on a few key improvements to get it sounding so much better imo.
First time uploading a riff video so was a but nervous, so the playing isnt too great. Got some work to do but its getting there!
