Just a quick tip,try some sweep licks with less hammers and pull-offs.
That way you'll get better articulation and accuracy for right hand,and better link between hands tho. I can make a lesson with those kind of licks if you wish.  But great job you've done by now!! Cheers

.I would love the lesson your talking about.Actually i think everybody here needs it.I have tryed to ask for stuff like this for awhile.I know we have alot on sweep and maybe some teacher's get sick of hearing about it.Its the hardest technique for us to figure out though in my opinon.Thanks for your response dude.Ithink with what Pavel has already done and you adding what you meantioned everybody here would have a better chamce of getting it down.|

Ok i listened to it:
First sweeps i heard are 3-string sweeps and you have problem in your right hand when going from 2nd to 3rd string and back up. Also a better muting would help you but it's a matter of feel and you'll get it with time. There is no way to explain it - i did explain in my lessons as good as i could think of in words. To be honest i learned to properly mute (not everything - but 3-string shapes) in the last 3 months. It's just - something clicked in my head and i realized how to properly mute 3-string shapes. But you have to feel it - no camera angle and no text explanation can help. Those 2 5-string shapes you played sounded pretty good but there is a tip: you play the shape once and you stop. To make a good, flowing sweeping you should practice 1 shape in a row for like 10 times. So, play the same shape up and down for 10 and more times. What i mean is shown in my 3-string sweeping lesson, last video where i play that E-minor 5-string shape, it's at the very end of the video where i gradually speed it up. That's what you need to do when practicing sweeps. And the last part of your record is 3-string shapes again: let me say this straight, ok? you are talking about speed and you can't even hit correct notes! Do you really think you can master sweeping like that? I don't think so! You know - there is no shortcut in learning! It's like trying to teach a baby to talk! He HAS to grow up to at least 1 year to start talking. You can't teach the baby to talk being 3 months old. This is the same thing! Imagine your sweeping technique (and all the others) like a baby and yourself as a teacher! You'll have to teach your hands to sweep very long just as i did! Yes it may be boring! To me it wasn't! I wanted to learn to sweep so badly that i was too excited to think about boring or interesting things! It will be great when Muris makes a sweeping lesson, than you can look, compare, take something from him and from me and in the end you will learn it! I am still learning to sweep, i am watching sweeping videos, MAB, Rusty, Luca, Fareri and i take something from each one of them! Shredmandan - i'll leave this post at this point and you feel free to hit me with the bat - of course that won't help your sweeping but at least you will feel better! Ask if you want to know!something else!Greetz! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

A clean sweep can be easily recognized and so can a "dirty" or sloppy sweep. You can easily say when somebody is playing with total confidence in what he is doing and somebody who is just trying to guess the notes. If you want that exact passage done nice and clean you better slow down and learn it note by note so you know EXACTLY what you want to play. Than you can work on speed and cleanliness if you know what notes to play. Make sure each note is played to the end, and especially the last note of the shape because from that note you have to switch to another shape and people often forget about that note but it's very important to play it to sound clean. Also a better muting control will help you greatly!
I hope Muris will do it soon so you can have more resources from more players to learn from! I also have more sweeping lessons incoming but first you must learn these in order to play the new ones. Also what sounded strange to me is the rhythm in your sweeps but the main reason it may sound strange is if your notes have different length. So make sure each note of the sweep lasts the same. If it's 16th than make them all 16th. I am glad you like my lessons! Thanks! What you said about me being a hard dude to please - it's truth! But that's what brought me to where i am! I am still not pleased with my playing and that's what helps me to practice on and harder! You are still doing great job! At least you are not de-motivated and you didn't give up on sweeping!

Unfortunately basic stuff most often sounds boring! But i had to make a lesson like that for you to start your sweeping journey!

Play this shape for example:
E||--19-15-------------------------15-19-19-15-------------------| B||--------17-------------------17-------------17----------------| G||-----------16-------------16-------------------16-------------| D||--------------17-------17-------------------------17----------| A||-----------------19-19-------------------------------19-19----| E||--------------------------------------------------------------| All 6-tuplets - just like the rest of the lesson! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
