It's A MAJOR!
 (it's btw. major pattern so you just move it around the fretboard and it only depends on what note you start it - if you start playing this pattern from C it's C-Major than).Btw. if it's the first sweep pattern you start to practice you'll get in troubles pretty soon! It's among hardest sweep shape to play and many people avoid it because of muting! So my advice is - if you are new to sweeping - avoid this pattern until you gain enough control of muting with other basic shapes! -------------------- "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! |

QUOTE (Hemlok @ Jul 14 2007, 04:28 PM)  Ooh ok i wont practice this then, i will stick to your sweeping basic and sweeping 1 lesson's then. Pavel do you recommend I learn Basic, 1 and 2 at the same time? or get the first one up to speed before moving on to the others? P.S: the pages on your website aren't working(aren't linking to anything). - Hemlok You can practice both lessons at the same time! It's no big deal! What do you mean the pages don't work?? Everything works fine there!!! If you didn't notice - if you click any of the links in the LINKS page they open in a new window or tab!

QUOTE (fkalich @ Jul 14 2007, 12:09 PM) sensation i have noticed, more than anything else, when my sweeps are quality at higher speeds, is a very light touch. that is the best I can describe it. not sure what this means physically, i try not to get too analytical about things like this, been there, done that. i just can describe it as having a very light touch. really with both hands. I think that's what I am missing for sweeps and faster AP runs - I had a breakthrough in my right hand last week, just need my left hand to follow on ... its funny though, I can do legato a lot faster (I guess since it was all I really played before I come to GMC) -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (fkalich @ Jul 14 2007, 02:43 PM) an exercise that has helped me is doing sweeps up and down the fingerboard, similar to Pavel's last lesson, except doing only one sweep in each position, rather than 2. that forces you to do good things. if you do 2 sweeps in each position, the effect is not as strong. i practice both slower and fast. both where i can keep good quality, and where it is fast crap. i would never let anyone but the dog and the cats hear the fast crap, but i think it is important to exercise fast also, not just quality slow. i do both. edit: i am not knocking Pavel's lesson. It is a great lesson. Just saying if you also do exercises where you hand has to keep moving, no rests in one spot (as with double sweeps) that is a beneficial exercise for developing a light touch. Cool, thanks! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
