maybe its cause alternate picking and sweeping are like complete opposites. like the way you think when you alternate pick is preventing you from learning sweeping. like whenever i try to sweep, like house of the rising sun, i end up alternate picking. i mean alternate picking is so easy to me it comes naturally i dont even try to alternate pick it just comes. but no matter how hard i try to sweep, i feel like a professional basketball player playing football. i feel like dribbling that football, even though i know i'm not supposed to.
