Any tips for learning how to sweep pick?

Interesting idea. I will have to see if I can do better with E and A shapes.

There's something to be said about all shapes as far as ease comes. E and A require less finger indepence when you're able to 'roll' your fingers over the fretboard, however rolling can be pretty tricky to get down at first. C and D shape require more finger indepence which can be tricky. It's all about what you're used to right now.

Rolling comes easier to me than that finger independence bit.

I found finger rolling difficult but I also dont have the calluses yet. It was easier to mute with siingular fingers over finger rolling.
