Dexxter16th July 2009Nice lesson Miha
Really good for beginners of sweeping, almost all sweeping lessons are kind of fast. Maybe this lesson will give them more motivation, since they will be able to nail the lesson quicker then the other sweeping lessons

Actually, most people tell me I look like Dave Grohl or Anthony Kiedis
Ivan Zecic16th July 2009Great lesson Miha!
Much more useful than the super fast ones.
Not really Anthony Kiedis, but Dave Grohl definitely! There's some similarity...

The first chord and high E string 17th fret 
Sensible Jones17th July 2009Great lesson Ivan!! Just what i needed!!!
NoSkill17th July 2009This is very interesting, Ivan. I agree with Dexxter, most sweeping lessons on GMC are so fast that they are great to listen to, but beyond my capacity to play. This is something that is a good exercise and is musical as well. It will be worth the time spent. Thanks man!
Wilska17th July 2009Great lesson, and as mentioned great that the tempo is kept so slow. Good practice tempo to cleaning up those arpeggios!
- Ivan Mihaljevic17th July 2009The first chord and high E string 17th fret
There's no pick stroke on that note! You just slide into it! 
Toni Suominen18th July 2009Very nice lesson Ivan!
Aleksander Sukovic20th July 2009Wow! This actually sounds very nice!
Good one Ivan!

This lesson is about sweep picked triad arpeggios!
Sweep picking is a very popular technique these days, but a lot of players play it very sloppy and with uneven timing. This etude focuses on getting your sweep picking timing right! Start practicing very slowly.
Another technique covered in this lesson is finger rolling. When you have to play 2 notes on the same fret on adjacent strings one after another, they must not ring into each other and that's where the finger rolling technique takes place!
Learn these arpeggio shapes and try to incorporate them in your own playing and solos!
The chord progression in this piece is Am F Dm Bdim C G Am E Am. The arpeggios follow this progression. All the chords are derived from the A minor scale except for the E major chord which comes from the A harmonic minor scale.
