    I’m not nitpicking, I just want to save frustration for later viewers. This video has helped me IMMENSELY with this technique, but I had to rewatch the videos many many times because I just wasn’t getting it. On the 3-string sweep you start with, the tabs you provide are not the same as what you’re playing, and what you’re playing is definitely way easier to do. Your tabs went “12-11-10-13-11-12” (on the respective strings, but I can’t write tabs in a comment) but in reality you played “12-11-10-13-11-10” then repeat. That 10th fret on the g string was a GAME CHANGER when I finally realized it. So much easier to play and pick up speed when you don’t have to double pick the same note.

  • @xtremeshredder

    Great video. You are an excellent teacher and humble which in the ego centric guitar world is a breath of fresh air. The basic sweep technique using your arm was the most important thing I learned. Thankyou and keep on shredding!

    • @homeworldmusic
      @homeworldmusic Před 5 lety +4

      Yes, great observation. Easier to park your arm, but moving the arm is the key. Did not appreciate that until I saw this video.

  • @mksounds6326

    30 years and still my Achilles' heel. I never had the patience to practice them properly. As a young player in the Bay Area in the late 80's, I was bored to death by metal/thrash bands with Skolnick clones shredding three-string arpeggios in every solo. I do wish I had spent more time on them but not that much. That's why I never got my Shred Club membership card.
    Great lesson and thank you for the video. All the best from the Bay Area.

You're good! I don't have to sit through tons of extraneous stuff before you get down to teaching, and you don't wander off into tangential land every couple minutes. I really appreciate your lessons.

    I justt happened to stumble across this tutorial, and I just want to say thank you. I have never seen a more understandable explanation of this technique.

    Love your personal input and insights in your lessons. I’ve been watching all of your videos, and I’ve developed so much understanding and appreciation for music theory. Phrygian was such a mystery to me (the middle easterny melodic sound, I didn’t even know what to call it) but with your videos I’m actually writing music on Ableton following menacing demonic Phrygian scales!!! Thank you! (Awesome Hammet guitar btw!) I’m just gonna keep on practicing and practicing.
