“The Ultimate Sweep Picker's Guide” E-book
(For the intermediate player who wants to learn how to master this technique in minimum time)
The Ultimate Sweep Picker's Guide is for guitarists who want an in depth explanation of sweep picking, a technique that many guitarists struggle with. One of the reasons for this is because many players begin by learning arpeggios that are beyond their level of ability, get frustrated and give up. On top of this, the players who do manage to get a decent grasp of the technique struggle applying it in a creative and musical way. This course assumes no prior knowledge of sweep picking on your part, in fact it begins with the simplest 3 string shapes and then gradually builds up to some very advanced concepts and techniques. The material in this book is enough to keep anyone busy for a long time. The objective of this book is not to merely show you a bunch of cool licks (although you will find plenty of inspiring licks throughout the book), it is to show you how you can use the sweep picking technique to enhance your overall playing and creativity.
By studying The Ultimate Sweep Picker's Guide, you will learn:
• What players commonly do wrong when attempting to learn sweep picking and how to avoid and/or correct common mistakes.
• How to turn your arpeggios from sounding sloppy to impeccably clean and all the reasons why players struggle with getting their arpeggios up to speed. All the details about the elusive “finger rolling” technique are thoroughly discussed as well.
• All the standard shapes from 3-7 strings for triads, and also all the common types of 7 th chords and their respective arpeggios
• Relevant chord theory that will enable you to understand exactly HOW to use all of the arpeggios you learn in creative and expressive ways in your songwriting.
• Several ideas that will help you break outside the box of playing all of the standard shapes in a predictable way, such as two very different ways of picking through your arpeggios to vary the attack and sound, tapping extra notes at the top of the arpeggio, non-standard shapes that will really spice up your arpeggio playing and much more.
The command of sweep picking is considered to be one of the hallmarks of technical virtuosity on the guitar. Unfortunately, sweep picking is not the easiest of techniques to learn and master. The Ultimate Sweep Picker's Guide is laid out in an easy to understand way and cuts right to the core of this elusive technique, teaching you all that you need to know in order to add one more tool to your musical palette.
