Topic: Sweep

I am a relatively good guitarplayer, but i do not quite manage the style of sweep-picking (like Malmsteen etc.). How do I practise this  the best possible way? And easy too?))

Re: Sweep

i have a CD i practice with and tab i've copyed off to do without the CD but hopefully this site will help.  look for

Serrana Appregios.  If you can't find any material anywhere

email me direct and i can download you some tab for it.

Re: Sweep

Thank you verery much, that was a nice site. But where do I find some tabs..? (or may I use any arpeggios?)

Re: Sweep

hobweb you may use any arpeggios to do a sweep but you are really looking for a sweep from the low E' 6th string to the bottom high E' string or visa versa.  i looked for websites yesterday but have not found any as of yet - i'll look today and if not i'll look up mine and post a few.


what is your favorite key to play in or afew favorite keys?

you can choose major or minors too.

Thank You again...


My favourite arpeggios  are d-minor and A-minor I think.

But - i still have another problem; in some mags/books they say that  when  you play arpeggios yoy use   only downstrokes (from low E to high E strings) and only up-strokes back again..and others tells me to use  up-down-up-down..? What is the right thing to do?

Re: Sweep

there is none...that's what makes it great because you can improvise all you want.  it's like playing a 'D' chord-you can go either which way to get the sound you want.  some notes are going to sound better than others but that's the beauty of it.


i found [mine] alot of sweep picking in the key of 'E', if you like i can email them to you [i believe it's like two pages?] or try and post afew [like minors]for you-just let me know.  you can move these up and down the neck as you like-to get the key your looking for.  later....
