Oh, I can't sweep good but I'm getting there after a few hard years. I used to practice them all wrong and yesterday it just clicked. Try sweeping this...

Do it down only first and remeber to lift your finger off the string immediatly after picking it. Muting is all important. After you can do this pretty good throwing in bends HO's and PO's a little scale run doesn't seem that hard. I'm sorry I cam off like I jerk but I just started playing decent sweeps and I am by no means perfect. I put some in the listening post if you want to hear and see.

I love sweep picking, it's one of my favourite techniques :) It took me a huge amount of time to be able to do it though, and I'm still very far from perfect.
Below is an exercise I posted about 6 months ago. It has really helped me to get away from being a "one shape pony" which makes for more interesting lead. I looked at the different techniques used by Michael Angelo, Rusty Cooley, Jason Becker and Frank Gambale and strung together the following exercise using some of their combined techniques.

When you are sweeping arpeggios there are a few different ways to approach each arp, try the following exercise and see which arpeggio within it works best for you. They all involve the same notes but are played on different frets. I've started practicing them all because I was stuck doing the same shape all of the time and I found some of these worked better is certain situations.

I'm no expert on theory so if anyone knows better, please correct me!

This is an exercise I put together to help me tackle 2 and 3 octave arpeggio sweeps in various positions all in the same key. There are probably a few more shapes that I missed but this is a great one to practice fluidity and it's helping me to know my way around the fretboard.

h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
t = tap (hammer) with the right hand

(PS as each arp ends it starts the next 1 off)

E----------------7-------------------------7
B--------------7--7----------------------7--7
G---------4-h7-----7-p4---------------7-----7
D-------4---------------4-----------9--------9
A-----5-------------------5-------9------------9
E---7-----------------------7-h10---------------10-p9

E--------------------------------------------------
B-------------------12-------------------------------------
G----------------11---11--------------------------11-h16-p11
D----------9-h12--------12-p9---------------9-h12------------12
A--------9---------------------9-----------9--------------------14

D----------9-------------9------------7-12-16--------------------16
A--------9----------------9---------7-------------------------------17
E--7-h10-------------------10-p7-10
the Gambale arp above can be picked (without hammer or pulls) all the way to the top hammer on due to the 7-12-16 (up, down,up)

E-------------------------------------------------------------15-h19-t24

end doing a difficult Rusty Cooley sweep from lowest E to highest E

There you have it, I practice this mother daily and I'm finding I can do it better every day, some sections are easy where others are more difficult and require you to break from the usual patterns and think outside the box. The fingering is challenging in parts and requires some awkward stretches. Remember, this is written as an exercise not a solo!

PS i hope I didn't tab any bum notes in there!!

it really helps if you have a tremolo, but i go wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wonka wonka wonka wonkakakakak, wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaa in all my solos it really does help!

if you don't have a tremolo, make the noises
with your vocals it will sound original but people
will think you're on sleeping pills or something.
