In my latest lesson, George Bellas Style, https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/George-Bellas-Style/ I include some sweeping ideas that are a bit different to the common 3 string style arpeggios that you often see. Instead of sweeping up, hitting a 2nd note on the top E and coming back down again, I instead play one note on each string only. However, when you change direction you will pick the same note twice.
In some ways, it's perhaps the most pure way of demonstrating how a sweep works because you are sweeping down and then up again with no added notes in between. I also did a YT video a while back which demonstrates this idea. So, have a look at the lesson.. and the YT video because it's hard to explain with words. You can expand on that basic up/down sweep approach and start applying it to extended arpeggios across all strings. You can even step up, step back, step up again as I do in the video. There's more than one way to sweep - enjoy !! |

Cool stuff Ben! Sweeping is probably the main reason I started to use thin picks I love the extra amount of attack
