good for people who know about the movements with the hands, what about the placement of the right hand during the sweep and the motion of the fingers pulling off the notes with the left, i can sit there and do that all day long but it doesnt sound like that, can you show the pre-technique, like super basic?

Ive been doing the first sweep he does on this vid for about 10 minutes straight for about 3 weeks and it helps a lot! You just gotta start out slow and easy then gradually youll get faster over time.

I use the exact same pick

I’ve been just doing the same sweeps over and over and i’d say that seeing this 3 string sweep will help me out dramatically if i keep practicing with it. Not to mention it sounds like a sweep thats easy to work with.

Excellent guide. The thing people probably hate about it is the fact that you CAN’T become amazing at sweeping overnight, unless you’re some kind of musical prodigy.
It takes a considerable amount of practicing, just like anything else with guitar.

Hi!
I just wanted to think what you think about tortex as a material?
Im currently playing with regular Jazz 3’s and think that they feel really good, but i really want to get more in contact with the instrument, which i have heard that tortex does.. so is it true? Does tortex make it feel like you are more in contact with the string/guitar then regular nylon picks?
CBKproductionz | December 3rd, 2009 at 1:35 am #
thanks. i was just at my friend’s house actually and i was showing him how far i got with sweep picking and he gave me the same exact pick you recommended and it sounded great. i even asked him if i could have it lol.
thanks for the advice!

Hello CBKproductionz,
In the long run a thicker pick is what you may want to lean toward. The thicker picks will allow you to have more control over dynamics. The sweep technique has a lot to do with pick angle. Your hand will change on up and down sweeps. Watch the video here closely on how my picking hand changes it’s angle.
I personally use a very thick pick. The Jim Dunlop Tortex Jazz H3’s. The tone and attack from it produce an excellent sound.
Hope this helps,
Andrew W.

i have a question. i’ve been workin on sweep picking for a bout a week and i noticed that it’s a lot easier to do with a thinner pick for me. i just don’t know which has a better tone quality, thin or thick picks.
