    Brandon strikes again. These last 2 videos have been brilliant. Things I've been trying to teach my students for a while now. Also really like how you incorporate 7ths Into your sweeps instead of the overused and abused triads. Triads are still great don't get me wrong. The backbone to so much texture and flavor from one song to the next. It lets you as Synyster Gates says "create your own weather"

    I’ve been looking for a good well structured sweep picking lesson ever since I was a kid reading Frank Gambale lessons in Guitar Player magazine in 1988. Your video is rockin. Really appreciate the time lapse showing your improvement after weeks of practice. The tab and caged references are a great way to clearly show the shapes. Thanks.

    You're right! Jimi Hendrix only became Jimi Hendrix after years of sixteen, seventeen and even eighteen hours of practice a day, learning how to teach a guitar to speak; and anyone can, with effort and patience, learn what you are teaching: great video. I appreciate your open use of a metronome too.

  • @kazkylheku1221
    @kazkylheku1221 Před 9 dny

    If you have a thick pick, like a 2.0 mm, with a 45 degree bevel cut into it, it doesn't matter whether or not you have a death grip, because as the pick moves across the string, the bevel pushes the string down and releases it instantly. The pick does not need to tilt to pass over the string, and so there is no delay, and you can grip it as much as you need to to not have it slip.

    I've been working on most of this over the past two years in the context of learning to flatpick chords as arpeggios rather than all at once. (think intro to More than a Feeling by Boston). I practice almost every day. I just do it while I'm watching my favorite TV shows. I've been at it for about two years, and I figure I've got a year to go to really be reliably good at this in any way. At least I've been doing it right.

    yea yea but when i just start sweeps shouldn't i get to know the shapes before i actually use them? Cuz i literally just started sweep picking for no other reason than it's a cool flex (and potentially can create pretty unique sounding lick/solo) , so from my point of view, it's better to familiarize with the shape before using it. Thoughts?

    Noone asked, but by my humble opinion fret wraps are bad for practicing.
    Practicing to controll noise is part of the journey, use frewraps when recording, but using it while practicing only helps to develope bad habbits.
    Just saying.
    Peace!
