My string action is very high, as my guitar is a cheap strat copy, and I can't get it lower, but I've learned to live with it. Now I've been working on sweeping for a long time and some sweeps, even simple ones like:

-------15-20p15-----------------
----17----------17--------------
-17----------------17-----------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------

seem almost impossible. Can my string action be impeding my sweeping potential? Or am I just not tring hard enough.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
