I can see the temptation of wanting to learn how to sweep, but the nessessary basics should be practiced first. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I know people that think guitar is only about how fast you can sweep and "shred." Lol. It is just ONE technique. I learned sweeping first and have just started getting good at really fast alternate picking lately, I would say learn alternate picking though, I don't know, they are both fun and useful. EDIT: When you ask if you want to learn how to alternate pick first, I am not sure what you mean. If you can't alternate pick at all, definately master that first. But if you have got that down, and the alternate picking you are talking about is speedpicking (really fast alternate picking), I would still choose that first but you could just practice them at the same time.

If it's just knowing that it's altering between up and downstrokes and incorporating it into your playing, then I agree. If it's to master it like Muris for instance, I simply HAVE to disagree, 'cuz I started sweeping even though I'm not anywhere near as exquisitely skilled as Muris.

Hehe.. good point I meant offcource mastering it to the point where you have no problems altering between up and downstrokes and can use it for average stuff You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
