UNLOCK Your Sweep Picking Potential!

“6..9….nice” LOL

You have the absolute best lessons and I use them constantly. I’ve been struggling with pick hand position and this answers my questions.
Thanks

Damnit! Been working on this one for over a month and still can’t get it!! I blame old age lol 40 is old admit it Ben

really easy sweeps cuz no frets needs to be finger rolled great progression

BEN THE MAN!

Uncle Ben " smacking that A ,.... arpeggio! Lol.

Ive improved my scales playing and knowledge about modes with your guidance and lessons. Now Im on to sweep picking, glad my Uncle Ben is here to help me learn it.

Really great! Go slow it becomes something. Go fast, it becomes something else. Dynamics

Reminds me a bit of the sweeping part to bed of razors by children of bodom.

Awesome, well constructed, presented and funny lesson Ben. Can't believe that some a-hole moaned. He obviously doesn't understand what a guitar channel is.
Would love to see reviews on your fantastic guitars too.

what guitar is that it looks great!

Thank you Ben for your efforts. My problem with sweep picking ist mainly, that I have awful noises from lifting the string after I played it - I just don't know how you and the other sweep gods manage to supress these noises when lifting the fingers from the particular strings...

If u guys would stop promoting yourselves every five seconds, maybe you would actually be more informative, therefore increasing your followers, but no... we don't think like that do we, we rather just talk and talk about ourselves and all our crap besides the whole point of the video... sweep picking....
Every single one of u guys do this and it's absolutely ruining it. Stop! Impress me with ur knowledge and abilities...NOT YOUR GAB

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

cool more stuff to disappoint myself with haha

great vid uncle brother, i think i am destined to not sweep

Hi Ben! I have a question about the picking. I get the first section (the pull 0ff). I think it's because of the sweep?

Thankyou 🤘

I think my downstrokes are faster than my upstrokes. What should I do to sync them up?

Your wrist does move ever so slightly but it’s All good I get where your coming from. I have tried sweeping in the past and failed miserably. Needless to say yes I suck at it and gave up focusing on it. I’ll try again with this video. Thanks maybe an old dog can learn a new trick.

Thanks man It's hard to stop That loop is so contagious ☺️

Love that RG550. I keep looking for one on Reverb. Apparently everyone else loves them too since they aren’t getting any cheaper! 😂 That color always reminded me of a Lake Placid Blue strat that I used to have. I just recently realized it was a MIJ strat made in the same factory as that RG (Fujigen) so maybe it really is the same color with a different name!? Also all of my favorite guitars I’ve owned where made in that factory, so now I’m thinking I need to try an FGN and maybe a MIJ Epiphone Les Paul while I’m at it!

6.. 9, NICE! HAHAHHA

Hey thrtr, I just suscribed to your patreon but I can't find the tabs and backing you are refering too :p sorry if iiss something ^^

I always play that major sweeping pattern with my ring finger on the A string and my pinky on minor. Bad habits die hard.

Thank you Ben! One question. I'm trying but i start to feel pain in my right shoulder when i try to upstroke because i rise it. Did you have any advice?

6, 9, nice :)

Rather than start with an upstroke on the 14, I found it’s easier to start with a downstroke since I’ll be doing that the second time around anyway. It gives me less to think about. Is this considered improper technique?

Why the F would someone not subscribe to this channel?

👍👍👍

I always have issues with my fretting hand keeping up with the picking hand. As well as the picking hand not being very smooth. Im gonna try to focus on keeping the pick more slanted so it just slides off the string. Silently practicing my fretting hand on the proper notes too. Sweeping and solos in general are the bane of my existence

“Basic B”… I see what ya did there 😂😂😂😂 great exercise broski 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Who is the Swedish meetball? I wanna ck him out. Thanks Unckle Ben… a stepDad

This was a very helpful lesson. You have a great teaching style Ben! Also I love all your amps and gear, looks so cool, especially the Vai module. And I love that you play an RG :)

Thanks Uncle Ben..! Your Channel is one of the best on the Tube..!
Ps. The Bonus-Tip es muy importante.. A small but very game/soundchanging detail;
now my sweeps are more crsipy again- thanks for that, too! Much love from Germany.

Yo Ben, can we get a close up of that piece of art hanging to the left of the monitors? They all look good but that piece to the left of the figure in front of the light looks quite intriguing...

6….9…Nice

Hey! It’s the dude from the unbelievably cringeworthy Kid Rock cruise ship video featuring the totally talentless freak shows on lead vocals! Nice.

Excellent video, thanks as always :) Sweep picking has been something I've been trying to add to my repertoire for years and years! I know the gist of it seems to be the "flick" of the pick so you push through the string to essentially rest on the next string. For some reason I still struggle with this when pulling up the strings, as I seem to add a small pause, but seem ok when pushing down through the strings. Hoping practice makes perfect with this new video🤞

You rock brother!!

I think I'm learning theory. Did my own backing track, Andalusian Cadence? lern things make dum less.

60 to 70 percent of non-sub views is better than most of the channels that I watch are saying. I don't understand why people are so hesitant to subscribe or even hit the like button! It pisses me off so much! Channels are giving us valuable content that doesn't cost us a thing and all they ask for in return is for us to tap a specific spot on our screens!? What selfish bullshit! Just one more reason why people suck!

thank you!

got it!

Awesome Ben,thanks also for including the Guitar Pro files that helps heaps,and great tip with the "lawn mower push " methodology 😊 Ive being doing this sweep thing wrong for years by trying to pick from the wrist... better late than never 👍🤘

Oof I got a blister on my pinky from practicing this

My sweep picking went from m awesome to horrible. Thanks for the refresher. Have you ever done a video on your guitars? I'm wanting either a RG7421 or a RGA7421. I have wondered how you like yours and what would you change or have changed.

Pretty cool thank you a lot. Regards from Germany
