Honestly, I'd give it a 5 or 6 but if you work 2 hours a day on that passage for 2 or 3 days it would be around a 8 or 9!

Man you're trying to do it too fast! You can't play it fast if you can't play it slow and make it clean. So you have to TOTALLY slow down and play it extremely slow with each note crystal clear!
Let's just put it like this - it took me almost 3 years of sweeping - like 4 hours each day dedicated ONLY to sweeping to get to where i am now. Be patient!! There is certain amount of hours each player has to spend to learn certain technique and the number of hours is huge so just keep practicing it slowly or you're gonna spoil your technique and you'll loose your motivation! Than lesson is not easy at all! It's not even easy for me! I can play it but i can't say it's simple! First you HAVE TO MASTER simple 3 string arpeggios before even moving to these extended shapes! And i can also hear your left and right hand are not synchronized at all so - SLOW DOWN! -------------------- "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! |

When you play a sweep clean - it means you have understood the motion and cooperation between left and right hand when sweeping! Than you can SLIGHTLY rise the speed and practice it until you can play it EASILY. Than you rise the speed again.
Here is the link where i play and count with metronome so you can get the idea of how to practice with metronome: http://www2.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-gui...esson/index.htm Visit video number 4! Good luck and ask if you need something! -------------------- "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! |

It seems its faster and more diffcult than the etude to me... -------------------- Playing Guitar Since: December 2006 |

Etude is much more difficult than the lesson in that link! It may seem slower but it has trickier stuff to do! In order to learn sweeping correctly you first have to master basic shapes so first learn that lesson - than move to sweeping etude!

Friendly relationship and honesty must go together especially among student and teacher! There is no good if say him he is brilliant in sweeping and then he plays a solo to his friend and his friend asks him: "What kind of moron taught you to sweep like that?" and the answer is: "Pavel at GMC!". Not a very good compliment to GMC and me, don't you think?
FretDancer is a great guy and he understands that truth sometimes hurts but it also helps to understand the roots of the problem! That way he will have no limits in progress later! Sunshine (like you named it) is necessary but in limited amounts! Keep rocking guys - i'm here to help! -------------------- "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! |

Well I would say that the sweep is the technique irrespective of speed. Sure, it is designed to be played fast, that is what it is for, but playing the same action slowly still qualifies as a sweep, its the technique that qualifies it not the speed, and as we all know, playing it slowly is essential to getting it clean and building speed later on.
