An uncommon way to fret arpeggios to spice up your solos.

After you got familiar with 3-string sweep picking it's time to move onto some 5-string shapes!These shapes will allow you to create some long crazy runs and you'll also see how to combine them with 3-string shapes. Cool thing about sweeps is if you have a melody in your head you can replace one note with the whole arpeggio shape and make a crazy sounding solo. For example, instead of playing the note A in a melody, you can play the whole A minor triad arpeggio.

Sweeping is one of the coolest shred trick to play crazy solos that sound "WOW!". When you get it down and combine with other techniques you'll be able to play really crazy solos that will sound like: "How the hell did he do that?!". When i first met this technique and heard Michael Angelo Batio sweeping I told myself: "There is no way i will ever be able to do that!". With hard practice and feeling of: "I am gonna get you!"- you too can too!! So get your guitar and build your sweeping skills here!
