Sweep picking is a technique used in guitar playing where the pick is “swept” across the strings in a continuous motion, creating a fast and fluid sound. It is commonly used in playing arpeggios, scales, and other melodic passages. Today We will learn 5 Basic Sweep Picking Arpeggios Exercises With Tab.

To start learning sweep picking, it is important to focus on the following basic things:

1. Proper hand positioning: Hold the guitar pick between your thumb and index finger, and keep your wrist straight and relaxed. Your fingers should be curled and hovering above the strings.
2. Start with slow and simple exercises: Start with simple arpeggios that consist of a few notes, and gradually increase the difficulty level as you become comfortable with the technique.
3. Practice with a metronome: Sweep picking requires precision and timing, so it is important to practice with a metronome to develop a sense of rhythm and control.
4. Gradually increase speed: Once you have mastered the technique at slower speeds, gradually increase the speed while maintaining accuracy and control.
5. Focus on clean, clear notes: It is important to ensure that each note in the sweep is clean and clear, without any string noise or unwanted overtones.
