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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gradually increase speed: Once you have mastered the technique at slower speeds, gradually increase the speed while maintaining accuracy and control.
- 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.
