Sweep picking

Ok so i decided to improve my shredding skills and started to work on sweeps but then i found out i cant sweep..
my question is: how can i sweep more then one note on a single string??
oh yeah another question: do you know where i can find diagrams of arrpegios based on all the 6 strings??

Legato...inside of picking the notes "inbetween" the string, hammer on/pull off to them...This allows your right hand to continue in the same motion whilst playing more than one note on a string......
Hopefully that made some sense...feel free to ask if there's something I've not explained well. Have fun, see y'all later!

ok i think i understand the idea, but how can i do it with arpegio like this:

A------4--7
E-----5----

??

i cant realy use legato here and i cant make the notes clear..

Right...what you'd do is this:
You'd pick the '5' and the '4' in normal sweep picking fashion (in one smooth downstroke motion) the '7' would be hammered on to from the '4'...so...what you should get is this....

A---4-h-7-
E-5-------

and then your picking hand would carry on to the D string...

Does that make a little more sense than my first explaination?...I hope so...if not, again feel free to ask and perhaps there's someone out there who can explain it clearer than myself?.......

yeah it makes alot of sense.. thank you for your help.
its kinda hard to do those sweeps unlike sweeps with one note per string, but as they say "practice makes perfect"..
