    Sweep Picking 3 – Lesson 81

    This one had me going for a little over an hour and my fingers are definitely TORN up from the last few days, but well worth it. I’m starting to see the chords and sweeping arpeggios as one, I’ve always broken up these arpeggios into different sections in my head, instead of making them one...

    Comment by 'AnthonyArena' in media 'Really bad practice video but I think I’m learning something valuable ? Thoughts ?'

    You’re getting it! Something I try to think of that’s simple is—not skipping a beat regardless of missing a correct note—at least in practice sessions during those first few months of learning. Obviously you don’t want to be hitting wrong notes that sound bad a majority of the time, but I’ve...

    Sweep Picking 2 – Lesson 80

    Man I shit you not I have been working on this for the last two hours and it’s 3am. These are the lessons I have needed to take my playing to the next level for sure. Nothing perfect by any means but by barred sweeps are getting better. I swear when I was first learning how to sweep I did...

    Sweep Picking 1 – Lesson 79

    My challenge with sweeping has always been getting that last third note of each arpeggio to sound clear and this technique brings me justice. With a clear explanation of which to stroke down and up, my sweeps are beginning to sound better. Don't mind the long stretch and misuse of the bottom...

    Economy Picking – The 3-1-3 Pattern – Lesson 78

    This lesson helped me view pentatonics completely differently. This is one of those ones where you can play something that sounds the same but from a composer or player's approach is completely different technique wise. This gives for faster playability which is why I am even learning these...

    Introduction to Economy Picking – Lesson 77

    Love this technique. Thanks for the lesson Papa Gates it definitely helped clean up my concept of this and will help me actually apply it to a beat rather than just using it as an impressive scale technique by myself. Cheers!
