JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADDon't worry man! just keep practicing slow and eventually you will get it! i couple of weeks ago i couldn't play the sixteenths on the alt picking etudes and now i can really play them ! so keep practicing hard bro!Still can't play
So I have been sweep picking for around 4-5 years in my technique and it was all self taught with supporting youtube videos at the time. Although I was using these videos as some nice practice, I realized that when I sweep up from the high e, i don't change direction until i sweep through the entirety of the arpeggio as it runs up, but in this video Syn changes direction a note before so he can sweep down entirely instead of in the middle, if that makes sense. My question is, is this all personal preference, or should I revise my technique? @Brian Haner Sr. @Syn Gates
It is.. you can do it in any scale though.Is this in any particular key? Trying to learn everything in D minor so I understand the fretboard better

It's tricky both my middle finger and pointing fingers can do it, my ring finger not because the string hits like the bit in between two knuckles and that hurts pretty bad.My fingers really struggle when it comes to playing the same fret across two or three strings when you "roll" your fingers across the fretboard. I'm almost there when descending the arpeggio, but when coming back up - I just can't get my finger to roll properly?
Any advice![]()
Bpm stands for beats per minute. It's the tempo of the song, for example if you would practice a song at 120 BPM you would typically set the metronome at 120 BPM and a clock ticks at 60 BPMwhat is the bpm?
It's 120...if you select recordings at the bottom of the video and change it to synthetic, you can change the bpm to be slower/faster. Hope that helpswhat is the bpm?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, to me all the sweeps are largely the same but just sped up. It's all 3 string sweeps, the only different is that in the last one with ends on a diminished arpeggioThe final segment on here gets me. He changes the direction of the sweeps suddenly so it’s up three then down two instead of up three down two. The rythem is a little different too. Just can’t seem to grasp it and when I slow the video down too far, the audio gets distorted. Any tips for mastering this last riff?
In the tablature, the n mean downstrokes and ^means up. Every section has the turn around start on the G string(up on e, up on b, then down on the g, and back down) the final section has all up strokes, with the turn around coming on the b string once you start back down. Basically, the part I’m talking about (the final one) your doing three ups, two down, as opposed to the rest of the exudes that have two up, three down.I'm not entirely sure what you mean, to me all the sweeps are largely the same but just sped up.

At least that's what I pick up from it, if you could try to explain you're question a bit more clearly I can try to help you![]()
