I guess this is the most popular answer on GMC: PRACTICE!
Sweeping IS A VERY difficult technique and don't think you can take it down in 2 months. Your problem is the most common problem every guitar player has. But if you practice slow, with metronome you'll get it down. Boring? Yes! Efficient? YES!! So keep working on it! -------------------- "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! |

Ok so here we go:
Make sure when you play sweeps you have 2 notes on the high string of the arpeggio. In your case it's high E string. So if you are playing 3-string C major arpeggio: G-C-E-G are the notes for it. E and G will be two notes on high E string and that's what will make the number of notes suitable. See the BASICS OF SWEEPING again to catch what i am talking about. To play it with metronome naturally, you'll have to play it in 6-tuplets so set your metronome to very low bpm. Same goes for 4-string arps. You'll always have 2 notes on high E string. In some shapes you repeat both first and last notes, in some you don't! That's where counting changes. If you repeat first and last note - depending on shape - you'll usually play in 6-tuplets. 4-string arps are usually in simple 16th notes. Oh and - practice it with distortion on! You'll hear how your muting is going much better than on clean sound.

Yes - you sure need to mute on 3-string arps! And if you re-check my 3-string arps lesson you'll see i mentioned that lot's of times!
