Guitar Tricks 131: 5-String Sweeps

Next Lesson

This week we follow up Ben Lindholm's series on sweep picking. This is an advanced lesson but if you'd like to work your way up, Ben provides 2, 3 and 4 string lessons on the Guitar Tricks Channel. The arpeggio examples you'll learn here will have you sounding like a metal master and full-sweep madness will be yours!


The tip of the week is about the theory of the arpeggios used in the lesson. If you build a minor triad from the major 3rd of a chord, you'll get a neat major or minor 7th extended harmony chord sound.


If you liked this lesson on sweep picking, then GT has a lot of other lessons that cover the topic in more depth and detail.
