Sweep Picking Etude

This is a practice etude or small piece of music for you to apply the sweep picking technique that we learned in the Sweep Picking Primer Lesson and the Sweep Arpeggio Lesson #2 - Major and Minor Triads.  If you haven't worked on those two lessons you should go back and do them first!

Work through each pattern slowly and with a metronome set as slow as you need it to be to execute each passage accurately before you try to speed things up.

    This is a great lesson, I have found it hard to find lessons that give extensive tabs with a number of riffs, but this does. Thanks

    It's a nice harmonic progression.. sounds very musical, unlike a lot of sweep picking exercises. Moving between some of the shapes on the left hand are a bit awkward though - what are you doing with your fourth finger from the 12th to the 13th fret when you go from the A minor to the F major? Are you lifting it off the fretboard or just sliding up? I can't see just from the video

    Thanks,
    James
