That is actually my favorite minor shape to sweep. It is harder to sweep cleanly on the lower frets...at least for me. I think you are right about the metronome though....dust if off and get some batteries. You have the fingering correct as well....at least that is the fingering I use.

Whenever you have 2 strings one after another on the same fret then you have to bar. There are some extreme situations where you don't bar and also alternate pick the notes but that's another topic.

You use one finger (in that case 3rd finger) and roll the fingertip as you go to lower or higher string ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You said eaxactly how I would play it and I call that thing "bar". If there is another name then I am sorry I just don't want to confuse anybody here because I said "bar". I meant BAR across 2 strings. Of course I called the bar "the one with the 3rd finger" not with the 1st one like when you hold the whole chord.

I meant BAR across 2 strings. Of course I called the bar "the one with the 3rd finger" not with the 1st one like when you hold the whole chord. I learned at Guitar Institute from Shawn Baxter that its called "Finger roll off technique". Later I read about it in Jazz lines book I have as well. You can imagine how many times Shawn got asked about sweep picking and A shape minor and major sweeps I am just going with what I learned thats all. I didn't think you bared with 1st finger, I was just saying if you bar two notes will come out and noise will be there - if you do finger roll off, only one note at the time will come out , which is what ultimate goal of sweeping is QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Mar 26 2009, 02:12 AM) I roll my finger of for this kind of sweep, just barring it isn't clean enough!

(muting with rightarm) Obviously, you can't do it with a barred sweep pattern.
