Guitar newbies tips #5 - Sweep picking

In this 3  "Lick of the Week" videos, Mr Ziras will be teaching Sweep picking and also Minor and Major Arpeggios. There are some technical words used in the videos. I will just post 1 video, and you guys can view rest of them at Youtube.



Youtube Link 1: Sweep Picking: Major Arpeggios Youtube Link 2: Sweep Picking: Major+Minor Arpeggios

Help and Tips:


1. Sweep picking basically is just like strumming.
2. 1st video, he will be playing Aminor Arpeggios : Amajor, Cmajor, Emajor
3. Legato : Italian word which mean "tied together". It is simply hammer-ons or pull-offs instead of picking.
4. Rolling Finger. This video (link) explain it all. Just a simple lifting or placing finger or different string.
5. 2nd video, he will be playing Amajor Arpeggios : Amajor, Csharp, Emajor
6. Triplets : Three notes per click of metronome.
7. 3rd video: just combining both minor and major arpeggios, creating different sound with chord progression.
