Sweep Picking Exercises

Here you find 2 different sweep picking exercises following the normal diatonic major chords. The first exercise is easier than the 2nd one. If you are new to sweep picking, start with the first one and do it really slowly and pay close attention to the details of your picking hand because that's the hard part of these exercises. I have added an audio file with 70 bpm. I would take this as a first goal before you try to more to higher tempo's. In general sweep picking is a technique which in fact needs a lot of patience till you can start to use it in your regular playing. The best method to approach it is to keep it slow and really focus on the picking hand once you have the patterns of your grabbing hand done.
