I can't sweep well, but I always haven't been in a situation where I need to. It's entirely up to you if you want to learn it, but you might want to the weigh the pros and cons, such as time spent vs. reward.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Off He Goes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172993 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172989 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 19:24:41 +0000 hugely. Arpeggios like that you can absolutly blaze up and down like crazy with sweep picking and then you link several of em in a row and its very impressive, and sounds interesting because of the fast interval skips.
But of course if you wanna play around with the pattern more, rather than just going up and down, then alt' picking is good. And then there are the arpeggios which aren't really intended to be sweep picked...]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172989 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172892 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 04:47:29 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172892 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172888 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 04:42:33 +0000
for ex, C major:

b--------------------------------5---------------
g----------------------------5-------------------
d------------------------5----------------------
a----------3-------7----------------------------

That's a very "sweepable" shape.]]> Guitar Players Discussion MattyPretends116 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172888 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172826 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 00:15:12 +0000
just give your technique a name.

Ive been sweep picking on my resonator (dobro). it sounds awesome.
I acidentaly caught the string with my knuckle just after I picked once and nailed a beautiful harmonic.
now ,since I can do again and again, it has become standard in my sweep pick
here isnt a name for those two techniques put together...so what.
so feel free to develop things you stumble on. perfect them . then you own them.!]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172826 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/sweep-picking-arpeggios-do-you-have-to/#post-172825 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 00:06:50 +0000

The instructor in the video (here at Peter Vogl's site) shows sweep picking is how arpeggios are played. I keep wanting to play it with alternate picking. Will that cause problems down the road?
