Mini Lesson#1 - Arpeggios Sweeps

Sweep picking is a guitar technique where you rapidly sweep the guitar pick across multiple strings to play arpeggios. When sweep-picking, the guitarist plays single notes on consecutive strings with a “sweeping“ motion of the pick, while using the fretting hand to produce a specific series of notes that are fast and fluid in sound. Feel free to slow it down and try to play along with the video. Three steps to learning sweep picking - 1. you need to develop good picking accuracy 2. you need to work on syncing both hands with good coordination. 3. you should work on building up your speed. Things to remember - Good timing-cooperations of both hands.
