For the sweep picking basics lesson! cool.gif laugh.gif

I was expecting learning sweep picking to be an absolute slog! It took me months on end to learn pinch harmonics with ease - I had to learn the technique just by fiddling on my own, but those three videos have helped me grasp the basic feel and movements of sweep picking within only several weeks - which for me is an achievement!

I'm now finding it easy to do simple 3 to 5 string sweeps which I would have just been confused over otherwise.

Its been a great reference point for me so I just wanted to say thanks for making it! I stuck by what you were saying in it and as far as I'm concerned its more than paid off! smile.gif

i must add Pavel, if not for your sweeping lessons, i would still be doing 3 string sweeps at 2 BPM for practice laugh.gif

Just like Owen said, sticking by what you said has paid off

I never had a teacher on sweeping, not the private one, and the instructionals i were using never explained it good enough so i had to get to it by myself and eventually i actually could explain it in words. As it turned out - successfully. And i am glad about it! smile.gif

Yeah you really showed it well. smile.gif

Everyone I knew to me was like "Owen, sweeping's really hard, you'll never manage", but I made such fast progress using that lesson I felt a bit bewildered at how easy it was, all it required was a little bit of thought with slow and steady application, I'm going to challenge my hand at some of the more complicated material next though, so I shall report back as to how that goes laugh.gif

Ok, i must say this Pavel.

Past week i have been practicing a Necrophagist song with some very tough sweeping, and today, about 8 days after practicing it, i got it!

I Went back to all your old sweeping lessons and relearned the ones i forgot, and practiced them extra long, 2-3 hours a day, and its really payed off, So just a friendly thank you for providing these lessons, they have shoved my Sweeping and overall playing by leaps and bounds smile.gif
