Steve, thank you for the lesson. I’ve been playing for about 11 years and sweep picking was something I always wanted to learn. I’m practicing with a metronome daily and this is helping a lot.
My guitar teacher from around 1984 taught these as triads. They can sound amazing as you walk your way up and down the neck. Focus on clean. Break your diatonic scales apart and build these. Fun! Thank you!
You just got me inspired to finish the solo from No more tears by Zakk. I can play the thing decently, but I almost gave up on those sweeps in the end. Thanks Steve!
The one thing I like about watching your videos is that you don’t feel the need to show us what a great guitarist you are, even though we know you are😂
Good tip; thanks! I use that Portable D shape a lot in my playing. It's very handy. Starting with pinky on A-12, it's an open C shape spliced with a D shape.
Try at 69 years old that is me ,lol.I did leave off at around 1963 on a electric guitar at 8 years old playing and read the notes to Old Macdonald had a farm ,hopefully I can learn before I die,lol.I just built a 3 string guitar box guitar kit and that was fun.
That sounds like the Woody Woodpecker theme. I have not advanced enough to try sweep picking yet but its good to know. I will make this one of my practice exercises so I will be more ready when I get there.
@@markusmaurer8384 I hear ya. I do mess around with it. There are so many techniques to develop I can literally spend 2+ hours on just the techniques I know about. I need to practice the songs I’ve learned at some point.
It sounds really funny when you say: You get 4 notes for the price of 2 ..... I didn't know that you have to pay for every single note! 🤣🤣🤣haha joke, but the video is very instructive even for advanced users, keep it up!
I tried a couple sweep picking videos over the past year and just couldnt get it.... Felt so hard for my fingers. I got this methods basics down in just a few minutes. It felt so much easier just focusing on 2 strings then adding a string at time instead of learning on all 6 strings at once. Thanks so much for your method here, this is excellant!
How long does it take to get the speed down on this? Like an hour a day for a week, month, year? Can anyone answer this, even vaguely? This is one skill the soloing masters seem to all have and it's one I don't.
Its the guitar equivalent of the really fast double kick ,stomp slide technique. Which you get 2 hits but only lift you leg once That save you masses of wasted energy.
Steve --have failed at sweep picking --20 yrs now --can I hold a C MAJOR Barre chord --then sweep the pick up & down the strings ?---Or do I have to learn to arpeggiate each note ?-yuk !
yes you suck 😂 just joking, i try this for a long time and i still cant coordinate left and right hand. the timing has to be so precise to do this fast...
I guess it's not surprising, that somebody who thinks the sterile Jazz rain of notes of Allan Holdsworth cannot be questioned, would not understand that Jimmy Page is great, in part, because Precision is an inferiority in guitar playing, ending music in general. You also seemed unaware of his history pre LED zeppelin, when he played more important records coming out of London than anyone else, as a session musician.
Steve you're a master at explaining and demonstrating , this makes a huge difference for us, thanks a million .
By far one of the best teachers out there
You are one of the best teachers. Explain things so much better
Going to be playing around with this today. Thank you.

Brother this is the closest I have ever been! Thank you!
Excellently explained! Thank you so much Steve!

Thank you!
How are you doing? This is the BEST video about sweeping on UA-cam. Thank you very much.
You just got me inspired to finish the solo from No more tears by Zakk. I can play the thing decently, but I almost gave up on those sweeps in the end. Thanks Steve!
Steve, over a quarter million subs! Good for you! You have taught a lot of people to play guitar. This is a great lesson. Thank you.
After I follow your sweep picking technique finally I can do sweep picking, Thanks for your imformative video! I already subscribe into your channel
the best lessons ❤❤ thank you so much Steve ❤❤❤❤
mr stine is the man!!! thank you sir!!!
I’m working on the solo to No More Tears and it has a bit at the end that incorporates this technique. Thank you!
Awesome this lesson makes sense thank you
Thanks really helpful
Awesome lesson..you explain great😮 great guitarist Steve👍👍
Thank you. This was the best explanation for sweeping I seen.
The one thing I like about watching your videos is that you don’t feel the need to show us what a great guitarist you are, even though we know you are😂
Awesome 👍👏😎
Good teacher he is proficient at alp aspects of guitar.A maestro
Great lesson... thanks!
Thanks Steve, great intro to sweep picking. Figured I’d come here to try get better at Lepper Messiah solo
Nice job dude!! I will try this tomorrow...
I like Steve Stine

Love the videos and your method of teaching. Am so looking forward to joining guitar zoom. Gotta get my guitar first , lol.
Great!
Alot of Gilmour stuff is sweeping. I dig it.
Great lesson!
Is it similar to when you rake the strings
Thanks.
33 years old and i guess i'll start sweeping now haha. Thanks Steve!

Still gives me the most trouble of all the picking techniques. I just cant do it cleanly.
Thanks for the help Steve maybe this time it will click. \m/
if i miss a note i instantly want to down pick it. I need to learn to keep playing through my screwups instead of stopping right away..
That sounds like the Woody Woodpecker theme. I have not advanced enough to try sweep picking yet but its good to know. I will make this one of my practice exercises so I will be more ready when I get there.
It really sounds like woody woodpecker laughing.😂
Lmao!
Don't wait too long. Learning to Sweep will teach you a lot of fretboard theory 😉🙂

@markusmaurer8384 how so? 🤔
Thanks Steve...
Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords
Nice
You are a phenominal instructor. Equal parts encouraging and technical. You make it all seem possible.
Steve is your picking hand supposed to rest on the guitar, rest on the strings, or hover over the strings when doing scales/solos? Ty
final countdown solo is a good practice
Thanks Steve. Another weapon in my armoury.
I keep hearing woody woodpecker's laugh when you're sweeping.
Diggin your chair. Got one like it in black. You into racing? I’m a sportsman drag racer myself.
4:38 Still DRE, Awwwww Yeaaaaah!
I'm tryng this with acoustic guitar and it's hard as hell
Sweeping is so hard...
