The ULTIMATE Sweep Picking Guide For Beginners!

[Vidfavne]

I've never tried learning sweep picking in my 35+ years of playing the guitar. This makes me at least want to try, very inspirational and very clear instructions. Preliminary thanks!

[BradleyHallGuitar]

Well damn, those are some mighty fine tips! Jolly good show ol' chap 👏

When i was in university i trained sweeping for 1 year straight. I made nearly the same motion for this time every day.
And suddenly it happend and now its effortless as other techniques.
Just takes time. Dont stop practicing!

I'm gonna tell my kids this was “our” Marty Friedman ultimate guide to sweep! Great job
Beanley!

I didn't expect you upload a sweep picking tutorial!

You and Bernth are extremely helpful with guitar technique.
I can add this lesson into my practice sessions now.

Thank you very much!

Really appreciate the breakdown of your pick holding and placement of your picking hand on the bridge. As an intermediate beginner guitarist, I've struggled to understand these two techniques because everyone seems to do it differently, but rarely do they explain why.

The one clip to destroy careers of all real life and online guitar teachers, as it is in a class of its own! I wish this existed 25 years ago when I was trying to learn to sweep pick and ended up brooming instead. This video would save me at least 6.66 years of struggle and suckage! The attention to the most minute details, each innuendo of sweep picking is covered and explained. Best video on this technique I have seen to date and I've seen at least 669 of them...Killer job sire!

After a few minutes I have the downward sweep going decently and I’m so excited, holy shit. Been playing 20 years and never tried to learn this cause it seems so daunting, can’t wait to get this nailed down.

I took lessons when I was a kid off an old bluegrass guy that was hellbent on forcing me to play Gordon Lightfoot and shit. I struggled to learn anything because I hated it. Then one day I taught myself the solo from the Duncan Hills coffee jingle from Metalocalypse, because I actually liked it. He made fun of me because I had struggled for months with sheet music, but taught myself sweep picking in a week.

I'm very excited to start trying to do sweep arpeggios and learn the guitar I actually wanted to learn.

Man, I'm way older than you Bradley, but if I'd had you as a teacher 30 years ago, I'd be an absolute BEAST today. Thank you for the free lesson.

Never had someone explain sweeping this clear!! Thanks Brad!! Got me some new motivation 😁🤘🏻

[robinpetit]

Thank you Bradley for these great explanations which will surely be very beneficial for me. And thank you for your passion for teaching, in your videos on this channel. You are one of the best YouTubers! 🎸🎸

My 16 yo metal ass who started playing 3 years ago wanted to start sweep picking for a while but I couldn’t get the motivation with all those videos, but thanks to you I can finally start learning cuz I know you’re the right guy

That's it. I've played guitar for 17 years, love heavy music, but never attempted to learn a solo that had sweeping in it. Was always too intimidated to learn. That ends now, I'm going to learn to sweep pick. Will update progress after the weekend.

5:45 - thinking about pick like its violin bow helps a lot, especially for people who never even held violin for some reason

I have been trying to learn this - mainly from the exercises in the Guitar aerobics book, but just not getting it, sounding terrible, with no timing. This has really helped. You are the ace mate!

[garethL]

Nice video. This has to be one of the best explanations Ive seen, makes me want to finally start trying to learn it. Most other sweep tutorials bombard you with waaay too much information and seem to skip past the basics, either that or theyre so dull that its hard to pay attention.

[filip_djordjic]

Came to this video a few months ago and I was so frustrated with the lack of progress I was making with the excercise give, so I stopped and decieded not to learn sweeping.

It took a few months for me to encounter many songs that use it and I mustered the curage to try again. Today I meanged to do it.

Patience is key and I suggest to all the gutarist out there who are practicing and learning: if it is not going leave it for a konth or two, then try again. Eventually you can master anything. Just be patient adn dong give up completely.😊😊

This is a great intro for people trying to learn. Its all muscle memory and time. To drive that home, I always tell students or other interested parties that if you have to think about what you’re doing, you’re not going to sound good.

One of the best if not the best instructional sweeping video I've seen to date! Thanks a bunch 🤩
