In this video
Following on from Sweep Picking 1, in this lesson we're going to be moving from three-string triads to five-string, two-octave triads. This is a great way to create long cascading lines like guitarists such as Jason Becker.
Key points
These arpeggio patterns cover two octaves
Make sure every note is clear and distinct - it shouldn't sound like a mush of notes
Practice sweep picking on the first lick to get the technique down before moving on to the whole exercise
Lick Shapes
Blue = first shape, Green = second shape, Yellow = third shape, Red = fourth shape
How to make the most of this course
See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this lick and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:
Slow down the lick to see how it's played
Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section
Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time
See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
