[QUOTE="ArrowHead%20nli:350069"]Different things work for different people, but I thought I'd share some things that worked for me. Especially since sweep picking is something that I've put a lot of concentration on over the last year. 1) I'm a WICKED heavy hitter. For the longest time I've used the yellow dunlop picks, and like you said yourself I had a lot of trouble not pronouncing every note. I recently switched to the grey nylon picks (.60). It's a HUGE difference, so it took a while to learn how to get the dynamics I usually get out of these picks, but after a while I noticed my ability to sweep pick got MUCH faster. 2) DON'T just concentrate on sweep picking arpeggios. It's called SWEEP PICKING, not SWEEP PICKING ARPEGGIOS. I used to practice the same 4-5 patterns over and over and couldn't get any faster. Then I started concentrating on the picking technique itself by working on 2 string exercises and it cleaned things up a lot. I have no clue how to write tab on here, so this might not work: ___________________________________ _______________________2____________ _________________2_3_5________________ ___________2_3_5______________________ _____2_3_5____________________________ _3_5_________________________________ ____________________________________ _________________________________3___ ________________________3__1__4________ _______________3__1__4_________________ ______3__1__4__________________________ 1__4__________________________________ etc.. Concentrate on using the same downstroke to change strings on both exercises. 3) Do not concentrate on only one type of pattern. Go through a variety of 3, 4, 5, and 6 string shapes when you practice. Also, try to practice all the shapes ascending AND decending. 4) USE A FUCKING METRONOME! 5) www.chopsfromhell.com - absolutely TONS of excercises here. 6) Finally, plug into an amp and practice your patterns one-handed. No picking, just hammer on all the notes until you can play the patterns slowly and hear each note clearly. After you get it down, increase your tempo. By the time you grab your pick again, you'll be FLYING. [/QUOTE]
