Clean Up Your Sweep Picking with Dean Lamb

If there was a contest for the most impressive guitar technique, sweep picking would probably come out on top. Unlike legato, it’s a skill that allows you to play arpeggios and scales blazingly fast while keeping enough articulation to clearly hear every note. Thankfully, this technique is pretty easy to get started with and Guitareo Coach Dean Lamb is here to set you off on the right path! Many shred guitar lessons will have you learning how to sweep with small 3-string arpeggios. The problem here is that it doesn’t really get your picking hand used to the full chord shapes you’ll want to use down the line. We’ll be using 5-string shapes in this metal guitar lesson for that very reason. The technique itself utilizes a mostly-locked wrist while you use your arm to move the pick back and forth over the strings. Muting is essential when you’re learning how to sweep pick on the guitar. So when you ascend the strings you’ll use your picking hand to mute and when you descend you’ll mute with your fretting hand. Getting all these little things to work in tandem is key for clean sweeping technique.
