    • @JeighNeither
      @JeighNeither Před 3 lety

      Practice. Seriously. Find a good video that teaches sweeping mechanics step-by-step and then just use the top three strings of the 4th pentatonic box (the C minor shape) & grind the fuck out of that thing until you can do it flawlessly, and then apply that to literally just about anything. Once you get it, you'll start figuring out what can and can't be swept, although what can't be swept is usually only limited by your imagination. Good luck!

    Bro please do a review on that Cort Kx507ms & compare it to the kx500ms u reviewed a ways back...... I'm not saying use both guitars but u can demo this new updated kx507ms & let us all mo if it is worth the extra $100 bucks.... since both of these guitars are still on the market ( Kx500ms $750 & Kx507ms $850 ) its not just different pickups in the kx507ms that is different it has a mahogany body not ash like the Kx500ms & as u mentioned the parallel fret is in a different spot now & they moved the switches around. Please do a video review man I am looking to buy 1 & unless I see a video with good reasons not to get the Kx507ms ( example- just buy the Kx500ms & swap in the fishman pick ups ... see 1 has a Ash body & 1 has a mahogany body ) I would be the type of viewer that would greatly benefit from the opinion of u being a expert.... also did they slim down the neck? I remember in the last review ( Kx500ms) that the neck was a bit thick?
