Just a quick question on these 2 topics. Basically i'm wondering how once you can say sweep with 1 pattern how you can do it just as fast on another. It takes the beginning sweeper quite a while to master one sweeping pattern right to get it up to a really good speed controlled and in time etc. But when you go to practice another one surely you're starting all over again and going through the exact same slow learning process for this new pattern everytime because it's really quick? I can't imagine you being able to sweep pick anywhere and to anything once you've mastered one pattern as i'm calling it. So how would you be able to keep the speed or help to keep it for everywhere you sweep? It's the same for speed picking you're using certain scales up and down the fretboard that takes a lot of time to get fast doesn't it? Especially if you're new to things like shredding so when you try a different one surely it will take a lot of time again to be able to get up to speed with a new solo if you like. Hope i've made sense here any suggestions or ideas about what people do to help this because if this is the case it seems almost pointless to me or more effort than it's worth in the end

I see but say you wanted to create a shreddy solo would you first have to make it and see if it sounds good slow and then speed it up as you wouldn't be able to improvise really fast straight away?

Not necessarily, because improvisatoion is realy stringing together licks you have been practicing up to speed.
