What i always did was practice at tempo where i can play the thing perfectly, so slow down abit to the tempo where you can do it cleanly. Then work from there. Cheers.

How or what is the best way to mute the strings? I am also in the same boat. I've noticed that whenever I do a hammer on pull off on the high e, it seems to feel more fluid. I can do smaller ones like 3 strings and it sounds good but once I hit 4-5 I'm kinda noisy. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Another thing that you could try is to move a bit less your right hand when you are playing the upstrokes (I mean when you are descending).

This is just sloppy, if you repeat this, you will learn to play these sweeps - sloppy. Simply slow it down a lot, and practice until it's perfect. Then you move a notch again, and seek - perfect, and so on.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
