cool guys this must be a lot of fun. I was going through your plan and I can tell you that I feel like doing something like this as well
I would probably be surprised how much I still have to improve even from a simple stuff.

Ah thats awesome man! Really great to see your progress
The video's show really great progress so far, and you've obviously put a fair amount of time into learning the positions of these exercises. Now for the tips/advice! Sweeping- I'm really impressed with your progress on this, and your left hand can obviously deal with the speed of this exercise well. Advice for the left hand would be to really get used to the two arpeggio shapes because there's a couple of instances that you break the pattern and hit some wrong notes. This exercise only uses the minor and major 3 note arpeggio's and the first note on the high E is the only note that is different between them. I suggest switching between them starting the shapes at the 12th fret, just to get used to the shape, and then moving it up and down the fret board to get used to the feel of it. Muris sweeping lesson here - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-lesson/ has some excellent minor/major exercises utilising 2-5 string arpeggio's. Focus on the 3 string arpeggio's for now. Advice on the right hand - The motion you're using to play the notes at the moment isn't correct, and I'll try to explain how it should be done. If you imagine how you play a chord, with a fast "sweep" of all the strings in one fluid motion, this is, in effect, what we're trying to replicate. You can think of a strummed chord as a very fast, un-muted, sweep. If you were to slow that strum down so that your picking hand moves in one fluid motion from the low e to the high e string, then we're getting close to what we want. This can feel very sketchy and unnatural to begin with trying to keep it in time, but you'll quickly adjust and feel more comfortable with it. The other important thing in this technique is muting. Taking the example of strumming a chord, fret a barre chord on the guitar and imagine playing each note in a fluid strum, but once moving from the 1st to 2nd string during the upward motion of the sweep, you will need to mute the 1st string so you only ever hear one string at a time. We don't fret a sweeped arpeggio as a barre chord, but you can use this as a visual reference, usually we only have one finger in contact with the fret board when sweeping. If you watch the video of Muris sweeping lesson, and pay attention to his picking hand, you can see this fluid "sweeping" motion in effect. Advise on tapping Really good work here man! Wasn't expecting your tapping to be this good, and I don't mean that in a rude way! You mentioned you've tried Muris' EVH lesson but wasn't sure what your abilities were. I recommend just keeping going at the pace your going! Pay attention to the guitarpro tab to get the right notes and descending timing right, but technique wise I can't fault anything.Excellent work though all round man, the sweeping lesson really should have had some explanation from me and I didn't do this at the beginning so sorry about that. I hope I've explained myself in a way thats reasonably coherent! If you don't understand my rambling descriptions, do let me know and I'll try again Awesome work though, looks like I'll have to get cracking on next weeks stuff soon  -------------------- GMC Travel Agent, at your service.
