Hi!
Actually you want to mute the strings immediately after hiting it. The motion we were talking about is just a sort of help to mute the strigns more. I use to do that motion, but I don't do it anymore because the muting with the picking hand suffices.
Sweeping can be really tricky in the beginning. You need to start to practice it at a really-really slow tempo at first. When you actually get use to it, it will be easier to advance to a higher bpm. The next step is to loosen your fretting hand as much as possible.
I will also do a lesson on how to practice sweeping in the future.
Cheers

Hey Zolts, what's up? You are one of favorite instructors and I love your lessons. However I'm highly struggling with a few
sweeping parts in your J.B sweep video.
The part that is giving me the most trouble in when I have to sweep across the 16th fret on three adjacent strings (and the part on the 12th fret). I keep hearing "Use the finger rolling technique" but I don't know how to do it. I've looked everywhere for lessons
on it and can't find it. How do I play these parts cleanly like you do with such minimal movement while actually reaching the notes
and not have them "bleed into each other"?
Thank you for your time.
