Sweeping is one of the coolest shredder's trick to play crazy solos that sound just "WOW!". It's also very tricky technique and requires lots of practice. But when you really get it down and combine with other techniques you'll be able to play really crazy solo's that will sound like: "How the hell did he do that?!".
When i first met this technique and heard Michael Angelo Batio sweeping i said: "There is no way i will ever be able to do that!". With hard practice and feeling of: "I am gonna get you!" you can all do it!! So get your guitar and build your sweeping skills here!
Equipment used: Ibanez Jem7WH, Marshall AVT50 amp, Digitech DF-7 Distortion Factory, Digitech Digidelay.
