Tbh "shredding on all strings" is much easier than getting into sweep picking IMO

💯 My dude! If you can sweep, you can shred on all strings. But if you can shred on all strings, sweeping is next level. A lot of “shredders” aren’t super great at sweeping. Not that there’s anything wrong with that of course. 🤘

For me sweep picking is easy and alternate picking is difficult specifically when you have to move around the freds. This is all because I started learning sweep picking before learning properly alternate picking( i used to downstroke everything) and I saw alot of songs with sweep picking solos and fills so I practice it everyday very slow till I got up to normal tempo

I'm still at Tutorial Island then! Ha!

IMO shredding on 6 strings comes before having the grasp of sweep picking. Wouldn't call 5 string sweep picking exactly "getting into sweep picking" either. Anyways, good playing!

I don't I don't think the number of strings you sweep really makes it more difficult, more the transition from one sweep to the next is really where it gets tricky, that or putting sweeps in funny places on the guitar

@eliasaltman4439

Depends on the speed. After about a year of playing I could do 5 string sweeps, but pretty slowly and managed to incorporate them into a song. 3 years later and I can now play them at a decent speed but for sure not John Petrucci or Rusty Cooley level fast

@joshuabryan9285

@@eliasaltman4439 my dude, a slow sweep isn't really a sweep, it's just an arpeggio voiced on single strings, if it's slow you can play unevenly from string to string as long as the tempo is right, the difficulty in a basic sweep is making a smooth motion with the right hand and having the left hand precisely in sync, done properly, a sweep should remove your "speed limit" so you should be able to go just as fast as your heroes on a single sweep; the spot where it really gets tricky though is changing from sweep arpeggio 1 to sweep arpeggio 2, most sweeps are triplets or quintuplets, and transitioning without a pause means reworking the pattern mid sweep and staying in the proper time; try using a d major/minor shape three string sweep pattern and sweeping up every arpeggio in a major scale without stopping the sweep and staying in proper time, it requires a much higher level of dexterity than a single five string, six string or even seven string sweep

That picking is SO clean! Outstanding, as ever. Thanks for constantly sharing.

I love all your “10 Levels” videos. They zoom out to display, more-or-less, the spectrum of possibilities - where I was, where I am, where I could be, and where I’m going. It provides a nice concise snapshot and springboard of how to reverse engineer my training goals. Appreciate you!

I am at level 5 and I ask myself: "man it is only half, what can possibly happen in the next 5 levels 😱" That's crazy good playing 🔥

Awesome bro your all videos is very helpful & good👍😎 thank you so much

So I’m like a weird mix between level 4 and tapping 😂, guess I gotta start theory and sweeping more. I’m actually surprised that you didn’t include something more on the bluesy side, because a lot of metal artists use bluesy stuff in their solos *cough* Kirk Hammett *cough* (I still love him tho, he inspired me to play)

There is Only 1 Dime - RIP Brother

99% of guitarists never alternate pick as cleanly as level 2 most well-known guitarists can’t play as clean as levels 1 and 2 It’s like having randy rhoads out here telling u that the bottom 2 rungs of the guitar solo ladder are pentatonic licks and alternate picking before making the pentatonic scale somehow sound exotic and then picking back and forth like a god Not exactly demoralizing but if someone can alternate pick as good as your level 2 then they are well beyond level 2 unless their practice routine is really one sided

That's some interesting input Shane, thanks for sharing that! The way I approached this video was thinking about my personal journey and how I developed so far, hence the different levels and the structure of the video. But you are definitely right about the technique aspect, it is also very challenging for me to perform the earlier levels with that focus on clean execution/rhythm/... so I absolutely get the point!

@leoglasmeyer2853

yeah you can do tapping and even using different strings at slower speeds using hammer ons pull offs, slides without the need of alternate picking

Damn mate thanks for this, like your approach and the you teach. Namaste

Amazing technique! Fast and clean

Level 5 + double pedal drums reminds me some 90's Heavy Metal songs on those long solos with so much feeling

loved it man.

You. Are. Good!! And the tab is a wonderful addition. I used to play with the electric guitar (yes, I can't say I was playing the guitar, as it didn't really know what I was doing) when I was a teenager, but life took over. This made me want to find the closest guitar teacher and start building up the skills. And somehow for me 2 seems easier than 1, but I used to have a thing for alternate picking. It would just come natural to me for some reason and tried to see how fast I can do it. :D

Just awesome!!👍

The layout of this video is awesome.

I am scared to even attempt stepping into level 6 and 7 after watching you play... you play so clean..love your minimal motion approach into your left hand. Cheers from India brother 🤘🏼

Dude 9 is so sick. That tap lick at the very end was the hottest burn of all this fire you shred out. Oooh and the work on your forearms is fkn stellar!! Idk what level I'm at man but that was sick! Maybe somewhere between 5 and 8, but much much sloppier haha

Those were sick licks!

I just stumbled into this at 1am. I am saving this video and using for practice. This simple 3 minute video can do more for the average player than 10's of hours of paid lessons. Thank you.
