Sweep picking

[Jared Wolford]

What is the best way to start out sweeping any thoughts/opinions start practicing tmr going to do a 100 day challenge but I have a feeling it's going to be very very hard

 

[Dominik Gräber]

A combination of the Lessons in the advanced section, Syn's Etudes and learning a solo with sweeping so you have an actual Goal besides practice licks.

The most important Things with sweeping are Hand synchronisation and paying Attention to the picking Hand that you're actually sweeping and not trying to pick very fast. Good luck with your Challenge!

 

[Daniel Verde]

Use a metronome!
Start slow, gradually build up speed
I recommend the seize the day outro solo as a good place to start sweep picking.

Lesson 79 was really good for me, finished it last week, gonna go over it again for sure
Play all the chords you know "Staccato"

Thanks for the advice I'm starting today I think I'll try doing the combination of lessons and solos so I don't get so aggravated at myself so much my main problem is I have to deal with PTSD and get angry alot but I watch these guys/girls and they make it look so easy but I also know there is a starting point just breaking through that I think is going to be an ass kicker lol

Here's some knowledge for you:

Well try to get a good technique on the right hand, since it's doing most of the work, and it's very important for synchin both of your hands. i would practice the motion first without playing any note and then start to adding some notes.

Also like everyone said use a metronome and start slowly, for this technique is super important to not develope any bad habits, so play slow to get the right motion for both your hands and slowly start increasing the speed. Im not gonna lie to you, this is one of the most time consuming techniques so you will have a good time on it. But you will get no doubt of it
