Once again, the notes presented are rearranged in time. Here we have the final lick for these examples. It would be tough to mentally internalize this lick without it, as you’re really playing the same lick, but your sense of where the strong beats are changes. As before, playing this with a backing track or metronome will be extremely helpful. We start halfway through the “sweep” part of the lick, on C, which means the pull off from A to E will end up feeling earlier, as the note E now strikes on a downbeat. We have the same idea with this example, although this one is harder. Playing this to a metronome or a backing track will really help how different these two phrases are (although the notes are the same, the order is not) Using the same notes, but displacing exactly where we play them in time. What we essentially did was re-arrange the lick. In the earlier example that part of the lick didn’t happen until beat 2. Here we have the same pattern, only the pull off from A to E is the first part of the phrase. The highest note, A, is an upstroke pulling off to E, then back down the scale until you return to the same note you started with. The first three strings are all downstrokes, hence the term “sweep”. A straightforward A minor arpeggio, using the notes A, C, and E. Usually this is the first example someone learns when studying lead guitar, arpeggios, especially shred based metal guitarists. Pay careful attention to the pick direction, as notated in each exercise. All examples shown are based on the A minor arpeggio and are usually the first sweep picking exercise a student learns. Sweep Picking! This article will discuss basic ways to get more out of basic sweep picking, particularly 3 string arpeggios.
