appreciated, I know tabs aren't always accurate and sometimes I trust them a little more than I should but... anyways, yea I think I'll try to be consistent in alternate picking this instead of sweep picking it. The reason is right now I just feel way uncomfortable sweep picking. Something I'll have to work on eventually but 1st priority right now: work out my pathetic alternate picking. Once I get a little quicker with my fretting hand I'll start sweeping :P
