Most common "shapes" for sweeping are actually chords played "note by note", it's called arpeggio as you've probably already knew. So simple just grad any chord you like and try to sweep it,and you have one shape. Easiest types of arpeggios to sweep are surely basic major and minor chord, tho you can sweep chords like 7,M7, diminished,augmented etc. So if you've already browsed through all sweep lessons on GMC, than you've probably seen all common and often shape. As I said,grab any chord you like and sweep,another shape. Hope this helps a bit. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Notice that you have sweep motion only at the beginning,connecting 2 downstrokes. Try further in the lesson and you'll have more complex patterns.
