Right now I'm basically a strict alternate picker but I think I want to learn sweep picking so will sweep picking mess up my alternate picking?

hey quick question about sweep picking...

right now the only guitar I have is a Mexican strat. The action is a little high compared to other guitars that I have tried, and this makes my attempts at sweeping quite difficult compared to other guitars.

my question is: should I wait, and would it be worth it to wait until I get a better guitar before I start seriously practicing sweeping?

I know this is probably a "preference" kind of question, butI just can't rationalize spending a large amount of time learning to sweep, when it seems to me like it would take a shorter time to learn on a better guitar.

thanks,

Chris

When you hear something that you really like, take guitar and kill the beast.
