That beginning solo was fucking evil....
Check out sylosis (if you havent yet).
Virender Kumar, Exactly
why no body is telling which song is that
sourabh p dushi He just made it for the video, it's not in an actual song.
Reminds me of Jason Richardson.
Smoothest sweeping I've ever seen. And done the right way without a string dampener. This is amazing
Alfred Potter Guitar Hello Alfred
No, smoothest sweeper is Dan Mumm
@@moroccangameplay304 he never said he was *the best* . he just said hes the best hes seen

Yngwie did it without one, John Petrucci did it without one, hell Marty did it without one and he doesn't even palm mute.
I believe we can too. I see too many Instagram and youtube guitarists use the string dampener. I wanna learn how to sweep without it
I can't stop listening to the intro, what an absolutely insane solo!
man that intro solo is incredible
Name of that intro solo?
@@avishekdas1087 unfortunately its just a demo for the video
@@μαριοςΚαπετανοπουλος Okay.
i come back just for the intro
Finally someone who showed us an actual arpeggio and not just some 3 string crap. Thank you so much man!!!
amen to that brother, these are the coolest arpeggios, most videos do show some crap sounding arpeggios, who gets excited to practice about crap, not me! this is the best video on sweeping, its a lot better than not only all the other you tube videos, but professional ones as well, I spent around 30 dollars on an instructional video on sweep picking, it was an hour long video on a plethora of shit sounding arpeggios, I got bored and frustrated with the lessons and said fuck it, thanks to Josh, I will now practice my ass off on these wicked arpeggios
LLCurrio Sweeps like this can only be obtained with first mastering of 3 sting sweeps... so even though they may seem like crap they are basic arpeggiated triads and that's where it all begins
@@nickgrennan1164 great advice. When first learning the sweeping mechanics it's best to start slow and work with 2 or 3 strings. Then continue to build on that by adding more strings. Also, legato turn arounds, slides, taps - all that can come later if the foundation is solid.
3 strings are super common. I do like 3 string sweeps but I absolutely love 5 string sweeps way more.
I'll go ahead and say that this is probably the best sweep picking lesson on youtube. Because either the lessons are very easy or they are out-of-the-world, this is just about perfect also well explained. Since the people trying to perfect their sweep picking are already good guitarists, they need a slightly challenging lesson to practise and not the way to easy 3-string shit. This lesson is great not too easy and not too hard.
Thank You Josh.
dude you helped alot i appreciate this shit. One of the few who actually can explain well enough. earned a sub for life
luv your profile pic.
Thanks!
Bob Ross rules!
+Josh Middleton Ⓥ hey dude, which song is that first part from?
Right! the way he explained it was what I've been looking for
This whole time
Mom: whats that horrible noise!?!?
me: nothing, just sweeping
mom: you should fix your bed also
You tried to be funny, but it didn't work:/
yep pretty much
***** it worked for me fo sho
***** Hey made me laugh whats that make me?
.
Apparently that riff at the beginning just wasn't good enough for 7 people that viewed this. They moved on to better things, like Lil' Wayne guitar solos.
+Michael Stombock Logged in just to like this
+Michael Stombock this is funny because Lil Wayne does not have good guitar solos.
+Kıvanç ŞENGÜN it's called sarcasm XD Lil wayne can't even play 2 notes consecutively.
+Michael Stombock lol :D
ha ha... lol... agree with you
Dude, I just wanted to thank you. I've watched so many sweep picking videos trying to get over this hurtle and your lesson was the first to make sense to me and help me progress. Started the first arpeggio at 60bpm and practicing between 75-90 bpm in just a few hours. Keep up the good work and post more lessons if you're able. Awesome playing.
Holy shit that intro
can't stop listening that intro...holy fuck man...
I can do the first 2 seconds...
same here XD
Ayyy, now only 34 more seconds to go! You got this!
How about now?
@@DeathRattlingWhore same person, different account. getting there!
@@AaronDevoy Keep up the good work, man!
I really gotta say that the absolute #1 most critical thing to learning how to accurately and cleanly sweep is to ALWAYS practice it with a metronome. Start slow and slowly bump it up as you go! It’s really done a lot for my learning ! Great video btw it was really clear, informative and helped a ton, thanks!
So..... How many souls did you sacrifice to gain that talent?
the number of souls he sacrificed was probably the number of notes he played... so... many
Asger Fra 2G1A Only his own
Marcus Semprit or... or... or... just maybe.... joke went over your head?
Asger rrejanga
Rr2G1A rrejangan
@Marcus Semprit Yeah you're wrong... Def not skills gained through years of practice, has to be many a souls sacrificed
Im with u guys ive been playing for years and I been sweeping for a long time but it seems my sweeping is my weak point of my playing I have tried and watched endless how to sweep pick videos. That all changed the day I watched josh's sweep picking video it just seemed like he knew what I needed to do to help my playing. I just really related to the way he explained everything and know only a week later my sweep picking has improved 100% Thanks Josh keep fuckin rockin
I gave up on trying to sweep a long time ago and I stumbled on this video and gave it another shot and I couldn't be any more grateful. Probably the best instructional video I've seen. Thank you so much 🤘🏼
That intro MY GOD. Sounds perfect for the start of a song. You should release a single using that as the start of your song !!
TriviumAnterior Dat time when you meet a trivium fan randomly while checking how to sweep
+TriviumAnterior Man your user name are my two favourite bands
I think sweep picken could be one of the most difficult guitar techniques
once mastered it comes somewhat natural... string skipping on the other hand is a pain in the ass and certain classical finger picking styles seem impossible at first attempt
Legato is
Clean fast alternate picking is much harder honestly
@@everlastingsaturnalia Yeah I think so too sweeping is still pretty difficult to play clean and fast
Math rock is straight up impossible
I liked that part where you played that note
That squeel was good
this is legit one of the best videos I've found on UA-cam to improve your sweep picking technique.
i lost it at the intro! great stuff as always, thanks for this!
Just like to say this is really useful, my sweeping has improved massively thanks to this channel, Josh you rule
Please, tabs on that intro! I´s amazing! You´re amazing JOSH!!

The best sweep picking I have ever seen. So clean and impressive. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing experience.
Absolutely excellent dude, adding those little slides as a transition between shapes has one of the single most intimidating sounds on the guitar. In the music that I've written recently, I use more hammer-on pull-off leads, but that's because it's what the material was calling for, which is a prime example of me evolving as a guitar player. At certain times, I go through phases where my leads are within the realm of showmanship, and in contrast to that, there are periods of time where I write leads that focused more on what piece is calling for, and now look for a consistent valance between the two, which is doing wonders for the emotional feel, and tone of what I'm playing.
Great lesson Josh! really appreciate the time you put into doing these tutorials. I've made a lot of progress following your lessons. The addition of tabs for this video is definitely a huge plus. I had a hard time following your finger movements in past videos. All the vids have been great regardless. You're a beast. Cheers!
Love that this had tabs with this, so many videos don't and it pisses me off. Like, just do this, but what is it. In this video, it's very spelled out for you, thank you for that!
Yeah okay but can you play Hot Cross Buns?
thanks Josh. after my left hand injury it took around 6 months to get back to speed. slow is so true.
Have you ever been so impressed you just start laughing haha, crazy intro man
I have been looking up sweep picking videos, not to learn the sweeps, but to learn the patterns. This guy is by far the best. Everyone else goes on and on about dumb shit that is irrelevant. Nobody is going to be able to teach you to sweep. That just comes one early morning right when you've about given up.
For fuck sake i keep coming back to this video, just to listen to that intro xD and it's actually really encouraged me to learn how to sweep haha
Holy crap, that just ripped my head straight off.That is super smooth.
Holy shit man! That intro is amazing !!
Great video! I've always struggled with sweep picking... Brilliant tutorial!
Thanks Josh, cheers from Central America! Guatemala city! Hart of the Mayan world!
That intro, tho
Luís Teixeira this video with tab intro ua-cam.com/video/zvlqafa5Dvk/v-deo.html
Every time i come here just to see the accuracy and dream when my time is gonna come. A thing I really wanna sound good as much as this. Clean, clear, aggressive.
Josh Middleton totally rocks. I find him to be one of the best sweep pickers on the planet. Totally awesome.
On the E string you could also add in the A on the 17th fret by tapping it (18th A#for second tab). It will make it sound more complete and exotic. :)
what song is this?
this guys fucking incredible, one of the best guitarist out there right now
Thanks for taking the time to do this!!!
Really nice accuracy and cleanliness in your sweeping, very enjoyable and thanks for the tips.
Great, efficient and no nonsense. Highly appreciated.
what scale is the intro ??? its so amazing
kaveh ahangar Sounds like some sort of Phrygian mode, could be wrong though
kaveh ahangar Sounds to me like, F# minor to a D minor.
kaveh ahangar
Harmonic minor I think.
F# minor to D minor means we're hitting an F# and then an F natural (the F natural being in the minor third in the D minor).
JohnWayne0606 thanks aloooooooooooooooooooooooot for the tab i reallllly dont know how to thank u enough..
kaveh ahangar Where is the tab?
Thanks for the vid. Helpful. Especially adding that 5th at the beginning. That makes the picking easier.
Sweep picking was always more gimmicky in my mind but the amazing intro opened my mind to applications of it. I am looking expand my skills but use slower sweeping to incorporate into tasteful feel play.
I'm making tabs of the intro if anyone is interested
Yes
+The Creative Studio I will post them on my channel or ultimate guitar later this week and I'll let you know!:)
omg thank you so much ;)
I've made the tab
+The Creative Studio me too! it was really easy being a Sylosis fan since almost all of the riffs are from previous songs. Did you do the after intro riffs as well?
The first minute of this video melted my face off. Best metal guitarist of our time!
God. I don't even know what am i going to see here but thumb up just for the intro. WOOW!
what is the song in the beginning
Jad Fadel Meatball Parade.
Jad Fadel sarude dandstorm
painkiller
Sometimes i watch the first minute or so of this video to inspire me to practice more.
0:01 - 0:36
are you Jesus.
Thanks for this. I'm not particularly good at sweeping but I keep a few small sweeps in my arsenal and I've always used a hammer-on/pull-off system on the high e. None of the local guitar players I know that can sweep do this EVER. They swear by the classic "downstroke on the first note, upstroke the second," mentality so thanks for this.
I can't do that bastard of a rolling technique, really annoying!
Practice it to a metronome, start off at a very slow tempo and slowly increase the speed every couple minutes. Like maybe go up 2 or 3 bpm every 5 minutes. just make sure you're paying attention to what you're doing the whole time (don't space off) and you'll get it down good pretty quickly. That's the best way to become competent with techniques and build up speed imo.
Azazul Soulmeister do you have any tips for people that doesn't have good patience?
Zane Drak I don't think so . Sweep picking is about synchronizing your left hand and your right hand . You must practice slowly to get the motion right in order to progress further
You're insanely clean 🤘
wow, thank you for taking time out of your life to put shut like this up, extremely helpful and fucking righteous!
Great lesson thank you! This is a technique I never had access to as a kid when I started out and I kinda gave up on this but recently I've come back to
0:01 - 0:37 best sweep picking pattern that i have ever heard...so clean and powerfull.... 10/10
your explanation make life easy.
those super clean sweeps, gosh
Hey man gotta say thank you for posting this video. Really helped me clean sweeps up a lot better.
Switching to that alternate pick method on the a string helped me a lot 👍
Absolutely beautiful guitar
Good teacher, very clear.
your technique is incredible. So clean. thanks for the lessson
Great video , especially showing tabs helped alot
Dude is a beast. I am inspired. Those intro riffs were tha bomb.
Welp. Time for my yearly failed attempt at figuring out sweep picking.
Also, that's a sick shirt. I don't know if I've ever noticed it before even though I've watched this a million times.
Thank you Josh, that was a beautiful insight. Really smooth playing.
Thanks for adding tabs.... such a time saver!
I guess if you watch, he's not even doing that but man it really helped me. If you're struggling you might try it
Great tips! Communicated concisely and thoroughly
Iam a 41 year old oldschool Slayer kinda guy, but i would LOVE to know how to SweepPick but i dont found a good ' teacher' here. But your Tipps helped me alot, thank you.
Damn... That was actually a really good lesson. Was pleasantly surprised.
Fantastic lesson.
I don't know how this ended up in my feed 4 years after it was uploaded but JEEESUS you are a fucking monster! I love the pick attack you put on the those sweeps, and on a Les Paul style axe? Bravo sir!! 🤘🤘
Btw thanks for making me feel better about alt picking on that A string, my hands always naturally played this way and I have tried over the years to train my hands out of that thinking it would make me play faster but I see now that is not the case! Thanks so much for this awesome video!
you have a great technique man... these sweeps are as clean as a fucking kitchen ay lmao. I'm learning a lot with these vids , thanks for being close to your fans, lots of bands should learn that.
some awesome skills there dude, nice one.
incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!
That intro made me click subscribe unconsciously! What is this magical madness?!
Excellent lesson. Thanks
Great tone on those sweeps!
man this guy is so good, it's ridiculous.
It's mesmerizing to watch how the movement axis changes from shoulder to elbow, to wrist... :o
A tremendously helpful video. Thank you very much for posting it.
The right hand picking is not actually like strumming. I played like strumming for soo long but then i realized it is actually a rest stroke. Good video had some great points.
Great info' Josh - Thank you!
Oh my Goat sick playing !!!
So clean bro great job!
Very good lesson video! Thank you Josh!
thank you so much, you're video was so much better at explaining sweeping
Loving the Sea Shepherd shirt bro.... and the sweeping of course
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks!
Everytime I see a video like this, I want to smash my guitar. Playing guitar for 12 years now...jeeeessssss....I will practise this now until I can master it. Thank you Josh for your great videos!
God bless you Master Josh for this awesome free lesson :)
Awesome playing, awesome T-shirt too.
Amazing lesson, and awesome playing, thank you!
