4 Sweep Picking Mistakes

[@BrandonDeon]

52 WEEK GUITAR PLAYER CLOSES TOMORROW! There are less than 36 hours left to join 52WGP before I close enrollment again for a few months. I’ll be closing the program again by end of day on Friday March 31st so we can officially start the April cohort. The program only resumed in mid-March. Before that it was closed since January. So when I say I’m closing the program again, I mean it. So if you’re an: 1. Adult male that plays at an intermediate level 2. Guitar used to be a big part of their life 3. Improve their knowledge of the fretboard, improv, compositional skill 4. Serious 5. Want cut and paste practice routines that were designed by a professional and are proven to work. You’ve come to the right place dammit. There are currently over 600 guitar players in our community who share many of these traits. If you’re a beginner, you’d probably find this program quite fast paced and challenging. You’re gonna make so much progress here that all your friends will get PISSED OFF but not even mad. Because we offer 1. This program offers a highly structured 170+ lesson curriculum. 2. Lessons come with a built in practice routine that will tell you exactly what to do step by step as well as WHY you're doing it AND when to move on to the next. 3. A Facebook group to share progress videos and get professional feedback. 4. Group Zoom coaching calls 3x/week to have your questions answered and get your playing roasted. 5. A new backing track shared every week for you to improvise over. 6. Accountability - we do this by making you share a progress video every week for 52 weeks in a row. If you fail to post, I personally call you out and you fail. 7. The best and most fun place to learn guitar on the internet 8. Very good looking instructors! Who I do not work with: a. Uncertain people b. Busy annoying high school students c. Anyone looking for an easy route to be good d. Information gatherers that never take action e. People only looking to learn parts of songs If you’re interested: Step 1: Visit this link and watch the video on the page: brandondeon.com/52wgp-video Step 2: Click the button below the video.

Mistake #1 - You don't practice sweeps...

[@Eduardo_3334]

Seek God. Its not about religion its no about rituals its not about hipocrisy or about a cheap philosophy of life. Its about communion with God Himself, Creator of all existing things, from the smallest atom to the biggest star. Everything has the Hand of God. I know that few will read this message and even fewer will be impacted by it but if you've read this far i heartly advise you to seek the Lord, who died for you took the guilt of your sins, and is willing to forgive you and accept you regardless of who you are, or what you have done. It's your decision. You have the free will to do whatever you want! 🎉❤

[@joelonsdale]

I've cured my poor sweeping by quitting sweeping.

[@oasisguy1998]

I wish it was the same with smoking

[@2morrowillcome]

I've been dropping in and out on Brandon since Davie504 spotlighted him and if "Now, JUST leave!" is his standard outro, I'm just now picking up on it... And I love it 😂

[@bruh-nn6en]

bro forgot what parallel meant💀

[@bedbug6177]

He got confused with perpendicular

[@smbovl]

? no he didnt?

[@myrix_dev]

​@@smbovl yes he did and you did too. He meant perpendicular. Parallel lines: || Perpendicular lines: -|

[@tfwthewhen]

the pick is actually parallel with the strings, perpendicular would be attacking with a vertical pick

[@NV2008-cq7ru]

I mean technically it’s also parallel since the strings have multiple dimensions

[@chrisgermany5919]

Awesome! On the last part about slanting the pick, I completely agree except for one thing. Try slanting the pick throughout all of the sweeping until the last three or four notes. Then as you approach those last notes, straighten it back up for the more staccato effect, then off into whatever phrases come next.

[@erikolsen1333]

Okay guitar teacher here, great job, I’ve been teaching for 9 years, and you’ve taught me a thing or 2. 🎉 thank you.

[@noodli8138]

mistake 1: i've never fucking learned how to sweep 🔥🔥🔥

[@owenvalenciahageman4892]

DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE HIDDEN GUITAR SKILLS AND THEY ARE READY TO BE AWAKENED WITH MY HELP?! BETTER CALL BRAN!

[@John-z8g9z]

😂 actually this quick lesson DID work! 👍🎸😎

[@gottem96]

Surprisingly I sweep pick correctly. I just suck at it

[@WudlinTheFox]

I haven’t made any of these mistakes I’m also a trumpeter and not a guitarist

[@rottentomatoplays]

I giggled like a child at the end 😂

[@caglayagmurr]

but if i dont death grip that pick it will fly 🥺

[@PorkchopExpression]

I'm guilty of spending a year learning sweep picking then realizing I play in a classic rock bar band and will never use it.

[@Commander_Grub]

My problem is string noise. I don't know how to keep the strings muted after I lift my fingers up and move down to the next one. Any tips?

[@twiptwip69]

Kiko doesn’t slant his pick and he’s one of the better people I’ve seen doing this technique

[@asheronwindspear552]

I have a really hard time holding a pick because of my weird thumbs, they naturally bend back to a 90⁰ angle without any outside pressure.

[@onemanjam_music]

“Fookin death grip” had me rolling. I still can’t get any faster than 50 bpm at exercise 355 in guitar aerobics. It’s been 2 years 😢the sextuplet per quarter note is just too fast for me

[@TheNathanStars]

Another mistake is letting the transitions between different sweep shapes too sound choppy or disconected because of the fretting hand

[@virtualnuke-bl5ym]

I think the hardest part is the precise coordination needed between both hands. Like I can play 200 bpm shred up scales and tapping and stuff but only with economic picking. If I tried to do that while picking every note it would be a complete mess of garbage. Same thing with sweep picking, which requires you to basically 'pick' every note as you go up and down, only occasionally playing 2 notes on a string.

[@azrorogers]

Me, who finger picks

[@Overgis4058]

Guilty of mistake four. Thank you for the correction, Brandon, i really hope I'm not PISSING you OFF.

[@bloodfang2805]

Wow an actually helpful guitar tip video. Thanks man!

[@martijn6939]

Oh wait you're the guy that roasts me with community posts

[@GuitarTabsDaily]

🚬 ❤

[@moyst33]

Sweep picking feels sooo unnatural, that's why i keep myself from playing songs that use sweeps. But lately i found myself listening to CHON and playing their style and they use a LOT of 'em. Wish me luck!

[@mase444]

The "wrong" example on mistake 1 stil sounds good, but I know it's not technically sweep picking

[@kgal9657]

If you replace a snare's batter rim with a snare side rim, there is less matter to resonate through, making your side stick game more powerful, right? (Louder crack) Wrong forum, I know. I just wanna see how virtual physics can work.

[@sirhamalot8651]

Mistake #5: Thinking that sweeping sounds good for more than 2 seconds. Just because it's technical doesn't mean it sounds good.

[@charlesmayberry2825]

as a rhythm guitarist that plays ultra heavy picks "Not slanting the pick"... yeah.... practice with a 3mm or heavier, you will learn to slant the pick if you don't want to lose the pick, or hurt yourself lol

[@kmo0112]

I was taught to angle the pick (as in holding perpendicular but bending your thumb, if that makes sense). Does anyone know if this is less efficient than tilting it, or is it just personal preference?

[@russellhyde9368]

This is something only you do because you think you invited guitar. It's probably the only thing you play day after day everyday all-day that makes you really good at just this one thing. Well, at least you got that going for ya.

[@KyleMcMullan_Musician]

That first exercise is super misleading. It makes it look like you have to remove your whole hand aafter each note. And you never correct this because you dont show your right hand again in the video.

[@TwilightZone13]

Mistake #0 forgetting to remove the metronome when editing a video

[@t23c56]

Mistake #1 is thinking people want to hear sweep picking. Treat sweep picking like your sex life: keep it in the bedroom.

[@victorjmartinez3030]

Dude that was so f****** funny what you just said that anybody holds their guitar pics is a f****** death grip that was f****** hilarious sorry for swearing on your online Paige but you made me 😅 so f******thanks for the video peace out man

[@Ishment]

Is it wrong if I hold the pick upside down? I use the more rounded corner of it rather than the tip. Feels way smoother that way, is that improper technique though or just a preference thing?

[@darkmaster450]

Strange how sweepers have different opinions about how to hold the pick 👀 I just went with what I learned first

[@frontturnip9479]

The first mistake is a ahole different technique tho too, bernth calls it moduler picking oe something like thay

[@shelly.618]

Ah good i was slanting the pick intuitively and thought maybe you shouldn’t that’s great to hear

[@bobach6083]

Tension in any way will affect your playing. No matter what technique you use.

[@scarlettefoxx5585]

I don't play the guitar what am i doing here

[@narrowaimed]

I’m guilty of all 4… no wonder why I can’t get the hang of this technique 😭

[@scribesblood2085]

Yeah well apparently I do sweeps all wrong lol. Thank you for the tips bruh!

[@roma540]

I don't make any of those mistakes I'm not at the level of practicing sweep yet

[@alien432hz9]

I don't care about the techniq, i just play it, -Kurt

[@slimebags338]

I make none of these mistakes because it's all palm muted chugs for days

[@BWWWAAALORDOFDUCKS]

I have made none of these mistakes. Of course I've never tried sweeping

[@robertshafer8968]

Bro was dreaming about this and woke straight up and made this video.

[@Melody-t3w]

Dont understand mistake 4, the picture is not clear enough😢

[@clivenaicker9010]

Ok! Ok! Young Christian Bale..

[@c3t-rex721]

Forgot mistake #5.... not practicing with a metronome

[@hobbesbeoulve]

Mistake #1 is teaching music like it’s French cooking 😉

[@welsh_Witch]

I literally did all these and it made me quite. Got a squire telecaster on order as I wanted to try it again so thanks for these tips

[@jonisumaryono]

Amazing sweeppiking by Ingway Malsten

[@SyrNikoliTheBastardous]

the open chords got a nice sound to them ngl

[@hzebruh1443]

The last point is kinda invalid hendrix held it really tight close to his fingers.

[@subhuman7780]

louder, louder, dude! I CAN NOT HEAR YOU!!!!

[@spectacularsam2584]

What’s you’re amp settings on this

[@ricmoz]

Sweep picking can't be taught in a ten second video.

[@JazzCabbage-nm8fn]

So it's pretty much lazy legato?

[@quinnhudgens7729]

don’t agree with the pick thing, hendrix had a very aggressive pick grip style, he’s one of the most well known guitar players

[@maJastoL]

Who?

[@viiexxiii]

Me doing every mistake 👌🏻

[@Squishmellow08]

all with pic can he use his fingers not to be rude just curious

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

The biggest mistake in this video is them shorts you got on mang!

[@jii-ro7083]

Mistake number one is to sweep on tele :D

[@devilslide01]

Literally struggled with this for years

[@angelosilva7755]

Anyone know the scale in the second mistake?

There are no such things as mistakes, you must play what works for you comfortably.
