Marek Rojewski22nd March 2010So this are the two basic major and minor triad chord sweeps - if I am right.
Now I just need to learn what major/minor chords are in a major/minor scale, and then I will be able to use those two shapes?![]()

Cool lesson Lian
Christophe25th March 2010Cool ! Maybe I'll get the technique of sweep picking with your lesson cause I'm stuck with it :|
I prefer Minor arpeggios they look much more agressive and dark ![]()

Christophe23rd August 2010Grrr after hours of training with this lesson I can't get it precise and clear
How meter is your pick ? Because my thumb touches all the time the strings when I sweep down.
Lian Gerbino30th August 2010I'm using these since 2002! I use the white one, but I make some modifications on it...

I make it a bit shorter by cutting a little from both sides.


Hi there, and welcome to a new lesson.
This lesson is completely focused on beginners who want to learn this very useful technique called Sweep Picking.
in this lesson we´ll play many arpeggios in every note of a scale, A-B-C-D-E-F-G- but, each chord will be played out of one particular scale. So, at first, we play all major arpeggios for each note, and then, all minor arpeggios for each note.
Pay attention on timing, and learn the lesson in slow tempo. You can increase tempo as you want it, but remember: whatever be the tempo you will be working on this, the goal is to play it well, not only at high speed.
What an arpeggio is: An arpeggio is a group of notes which are played one after the other, either going up or going down. All the notes belong to one chord.
I hope you like this lesson!
Take it step by step and have fun!
