you gotta get your alt picking down before you can do much of any other solo techniques the right and easy way.

its going to be boring and slow, but its worth it in the long run. sweeping is just about the hardest technique out there- ive been playing 4? years now and i cant do it worth crap, but all my other solo techniques are good cuz ive taken the extra monotonus time to exercise all of it.


try learning some tapping. theres some superb lessons here by shmange :p
