  • Sweep Picking Solos

    Please give me some suggestions for songs that have some sweep picking in them (solo or otherwise... doesnt matter), been practicing the technique a bit lately and want to put it to some practical use! So please no insane sweep picking, a moderate difficulty level would work better! ;D

      +1. Lots of old Children Of Bodom.

      My favourite are sweeps in the end of the song "The Nail"

        Of course, there's lots of Yngwie to choose from. But one that comes to mind is "Liar" from Trilogy. Great sweeping section before the main solo and only 3-string sweeps, so it's not too bad.

          Most stuff by Michael Romeo (Sym.X), John Petrucci (DT), Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica)......

          What i'm trying to improve right now is string skipping... if you want to really get into sweep picking you HAVE to get Rusty Cooley's "Shred guitar manifesto" instructional.

          The truth will seem utterly preposterous, and its speaker, a raving lunatic."

                          Nevermore has some serious sweeping - out of control does not totally capture what those guys have going on.

                          If you are looking for something a litte more down to earth (but still challanging and way fukin' cool IMHO), try these Megadeth songs with Marty Friedman playing lead:

                          Holy Wars - Punishment due
                          Tornado of Souls
                          Hanger 18
                          Symphony of Destruction.

                          Also, one of my favorite sweep picking solos is Vai's "head cutting dual" from the end of the movie Crossroads (it is the part supposedly played by that Karate Kid dork). Very cool, not super hard, and one of the best things that Vai ever did for my money.

                          I am pretty sure that all of the above is available on youtube if you look.

                            Yeah, but you'd have better luck finding them if you spell the titles correctly!
