Sweep picking or sweeping is a playing technique performed by combining a sweeping motion of the pick with matching movements of the fretting hand in order to produce a smooth series of notes. Since the pick is essentially gliding in a downward motion over the strings and going upwards when the direction is changed, this technique can produce very fast and fluid passages.Click to see more lessons about sweeping (63 matches in total).
