You use basic shapes to build sweeping technique! Later you can apply it to anything you want. You can apply it to any chord you know, any 2 string lick combined with legato, basically you'll know it when to use it once you get it down!

I was playing this last night, I used to alt pick it but I'm finding it feels good to do it this way - is it a sweep or does it have too many hammerons? Where do you draw the line ??? |---3---| |---3---| -- S S S S S S E||-------------12h----------|| B||--12h-13h-15-----15p-13---|| G||--------------------------|| D||--------------------------|| A||--------------------------|| E||--------------------------|| So here I would hit the firat note with a downstroke, hammer on the next 2 notes, hot the 4th note with an upstroke, and hammer on the next 2 notes as pure legato ... Any thoughts anyone? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I wouldn't say it's sweep because you are actually doing - Down +2xlegato+up+2xlegato! If you ask me - it's not sweeping!
Btw. related to the pattern you want to play - it will be MUCH easier to play, and especially fast if you go - 12-13-15-17-15-13-12 - 4 notes per string! You can do it both legato (pick each time you get to B ), or play it full alternate picking! Stretches will be painful first but they rule!

Andrew - let us know how it worked with 4nps! I really want to know your opinion!
It's amazing for long shred runs. You see you can play same notes in dozens different ways - guitar rules!!!

After you practice 4nps stuff, 3nps scales are nothing!
Just like warm-up on bass guitar before practice session on regular guitar!
