Hey gmc,

I really want to be able to sweep... I don't know how and I'm really bad at it currently. But what are some good starting sweeps? Should I be practicing, 3 string, 4 string, 6 string sweeps? What are some easy ones to start with and slowly build up?

id say practice 2 string sweeps if ur a noob to it or if u kinda have the idea try 3 string then work up. probly learn the major, minor, major 7th ,diminshed etc and then u can just move them around for key

try Pavels 3 string sweeping lessons. I suggest you start with those, remember to start SLOWLY. Then you can try 5 string arpeggios, there are some really easy shapes to start with, again, start SLOWLY with these too.
