    Any tips for learning how to sweep pick?

    Also, should I make a video on Syn's economy picking technique? I just got the hang of it and am able to play stuff I couldn't play before with much less effort!

    How To Hold The Pick – Lesson 4

    I was actually gonna make a economy picking video talking about why Syn's pick technique is the most efficient way possible.

    At the point of giving up.

    Just focus on starting to practice Syn's etudes. I've been playing for two years and could play afterlife solo within a year of starting. You would be surprised at how fast you can learn.

    I'm gonna try and pump out all the sweep picking exercises within a few weeks. I have a feeling V is gonna be the hardest. If you have any questions or need tips on sweeping ask away! I have always seemed to progress with it much better than other techniques

    I don't have 2 cameras so I ran through the Etude twice and recorded two different angles so they aren't 100% the same, well between sets of sweeping that is!

    Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)

    Adderal my friend. I can play for hours straight. I practiced the afterlife riff for literally an hour straight. I once practiced from 8 pm till 8 am the next day no joke. Worth looking into.
