Fastest Way To Learn Sweep Picking!

[@edfitzgerald7854]

Been playing guitar for many years and sweeping accurately is one technique that has been "sloppy" for me (to say the least). I tried this left hand exercise for just about 15 minutes and my sweeping went from sloppy to quite good. I'm surprised I never thought of this easy exercise before. Thanks David.

[@rcjward]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - David is the BEST guitar teacher bar none!

[@gralhas]

I'm following you around 1 month...and I so happy with your classes...you are a very talented professional....thanks for sharing your experience...

[@EDGARDOUX1701]

Finally a great lesson on how to sweep! Practiced and in 20 min I made more progress then the last 4 or 5 months! Your my Saint David lol

[@RC32Smiths01]

Sweep Picking is definitely a must learn I'd say. It incorporates arpeggios and much more theory for other purposes. Awesome work man!

[@alecastershow789]

What a beautiful guitar!!!

[@ErickGonzalez-ok1xg]

Dude, thanks. I really appreciate it. There’s no much people out there who tell us how to do it correctly. Or people who show us different ways or techniques to do it. I’ll practice this way, I thing it gonna really work.

[@shashanksherkar392]

David, I am recovering from Golfer's Elbow due to bike pulling out of mud! But I have been asked to slow down on my guitar play which is 144-166 bpm for rhythm and 96-120 bpm for lead. This lesson came in the exact time while I am re-developing my technique to avoid injuries due to guitar. Good work man, keep up.

[@killerhit00]

Hey David, GREAT playing, I really like that tone too!!!

[@curefan28]

Man, within only 10 minutes doing the left hand with a 110 metronome I'm kinda sweeping on the upstroke part. Thanks for this lesson, it's going to get me there so much faster.

[@sydgtr]

You were one of the first guitar KZbinrs I ever subscribed too nearly 10 years ago (I was 13/14). I remember really wanting that natural finished Fender Tele you had, glad to see you're still going! I used your lessons all the time when I started out, thanks a lot mate.

[@Wallimann]

Thank you so much Luke!!

[@commanderwilliamtriker7449]

Thank you, this is a great exercise, I'm already seeing results. Never seen an easier method than this, Awesome.

[@riddmkidd]

High five for transcribe! on the monitor! That program is so helpful.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Great advice! I find practicing left hand legato diatonic scale sequences no right hand and tapping a good complement to master sweeping.

[@dinalinda3068]

Your lessons really helped me to improve my sweeping!!! Thanks you so much.

[@skylar.simoncelli]

That Kiesel ♥️ You've ascended!

[@25748410]

This is a very effective way of doing it Pianists practice this way They practice both the hands separately So do classical guitarists Just makes things a bit easier for your brain

[@swingonthespiral]

I never really practiced both hands separately for piano until I had learned the song first.

[@antma9028]

You're a great teacher man. Thanks again.

[@asagikota2403]

You explain stuff very well and your tone is satisfying... im subbing :)

[@adozensparrows]

I almost passed this by. Gave you a listen. Subbed. You're a good teacher.

[@einsoflight18]

BS"D So glad you posted this you have no idea! Was getting frustrated indeed, even with the course on some level. This was very inspiring brother! The world should be swept over with blessings!

[@sticksnstones23]

Hi David. There are lots of great guitar lessons on you tube and yours are in the top. I believe that one thing is missing that nobody has really tried. I would love to see a series of lessons where the master teaches the student in an unrehearsed format. A mediocre student guitarist soloing with some live critiques along the way. All kinds of excellent stuff with come from this. Bad habits will be exposed and corrected. I believe that bad mechanics from mediocre guitarists can get in the way of optimizing the stuff that the teachers are teaching. I really think this would be well received, increase following, likes and subscriptions. I think you are the guy to do it very well.

[@rondeldebbio9219]

FANTASTIC TEACHER!

[@timmywysong]

Ummm, I have to develop my own way, as I can't and do not use a pick(mine is built in), but it gives me various ideas though . I don't struggle, I just have to find my own, oddly unorthodox, way of doing sweeps, and it's developing strangely, but nicely . Cheers !!

[@DrakeSteve]

Great video and nice Kiesel guitar!

[@jaimscastillo]

Thanks David! I appreciate this helpful tip!

[@giogio4778]

That Kiesel guitar is rad, I Will give a try to the sweep picking again

[@joycesanders4898]

..is not as hard as you thinking...once you get it,..you got it..like riding bike..then throw away pick and learn fingers style sweeping. 👍🎶👋

[@lukehodgson5222]

Thx for the tips, will try it next session! That Kiesel sounds and looks great. Anyone have opinions on these guitars?

[@joycesanders4898]

..they pretty AWESOME...for true.

[@Returnality]

They're fantastic but also hit and miss. I sent mine back because I ordered a roasted flamed maple fretboard and only got flame on one fret. On top of that, the nut was cut WAY too deep so there was pretty bad string buzz on the G an B. Here is the kicker: when you send a guitar back, they resell it. When they listed the options on mine, they listed it as having a roasted maple fretboard instead of a roasted flamed maple fretboard so they know damn well that I got jipped. Edit: that being said, it was the most comfortable guitar I have ever played. Kiesel knows how to shape a neck and the balance on all their guitars is immaculate. I might buy from them again if I can get a refund for that flamed option.

[@austinmorris4471]

I’ve been considering a Kiesel guitar and to me their only bad quality is their website. They have no visualizer on their website and the rest of the site looks like it was built in the 90’s, so you will have no idea of how your guitar is going to look.

[@beefnacos6258]

Yeah. Sure. I bought two used Kiesels and now I'm selling all my other guitars

[@beefnacos6258]

[@fenderman21guitar]

Does this guy have entire guitar courses? He makes everything so much clearer

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

fenderman21guitar Yes, that’s exactly what I’ve just done. Go to the right bottom hand corner of the video screen to a tiny arrow, press that and all the information is there. In 7 minutes he just explained what I’ve never grasped in 30 odd years of playing, the fretting hand and rhythm!!!!!! Light bulb moment

David Wallimann you know whats crazy david. You have done a video with a guy that I briefly had as my guitar teacher about 10 years ago, tom quayle, the weirdest thing is I had no idea how good he was, he just happened to live near me at university 😂

[@Bloodlust-hc4gm]

Dude, try not to use a ridiculously beautiful guitar next time. I don't know if it's just me but it's hard to focus on what you are teaching as that guitar is so distracting. Bad ass!

Merci pour cette approche du Sweeping David

[@thorstenriedel3152]

Damn.......pretty cool

[@bilal11]

im not sure i get this... how can you sweep pick when there are more than 1 note on a string? in this example, you play two notes on the high E. This throws off my sweep because I need to "go back to alternate pick" it.. anyone have any tips? I've found I can do a hammer on the last note during the down sweep and then start the up swee at the 4th fret -- is this the right technique?

[@bilal11]

HI David: I’ve been trying to get thru to you via email and having no success. I’m trying here because I don’t know where else to turn. I purchased one of your plans by mistake during your recent sale. I didn’ realize that I already purchased the same plan (by name) 3 months earlier. I want to get a refund on the mistaken purchase and have attempted to email you 2x but haven’t received an answer. How can I get in touch with you to correct this? Rick Schaffer

I've been working on a short sweep picking phrase for a total of 18 hours now and I'm no faster than I was the first time I played it. My problem isnt my left hand but instead my right. I cant get the sound of sweeping down and when I strum it just gets caught along the way. Also I cant figure out how to mute the strings behind the ones I'm playing.

[@honestiron]

Angle the pick in the direction you're sweeping and adjust how much of the pick is sticking out of your fingers. If you're not using a thick pick (no flex) you should be

[@honestiron]

@@jimpanzee4063 I disagree here. My weakness in this area is my fretting hand. He never said the picking hand wasn't important: his argument is the fretting hand is equally important. He's giving you another area to focus on

I haven't tried.. I'll try now and on.. I'll be back again after some days

[@salvadoremartinrioja]

Hello l' watching your video on sweeping its clear ok but the son of guitare ? For working exercises reverbe or not deleay or not its a great quedtion for beginners on the beginning sorry my inglish its no good... Thanks for all information

[@periurban]

I've played guitar for 47 years, and I can't even pull off the first exercise. My pinkie isn't capable of that stretch. I can get the pinkie on, but then all the other fingers are out of alignment. Also, my hands and fingers don't co-ordinate as required. I can do my own thing though. So, there's that.

[@louistech112]

This is how piano players play and this is helpful af

[@andrewspaulding70]

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

What I find with sweeping, either you can do it or you can't. Nothing really in between. All well and good saying start slow then gradually speed up. For some people, the speed never comes.

[@sebjulien3]

Damn after 47 years I finally found the teacher I always wanted...Goodbye Troy Grady with over complicated video.

[@nickburmanmusic]

At least David still has his hair :D

[@tonymusolino2369]

I have come to this conclusion. Some people are great conversationalists. Some are terrible at conversation, and struggle horribly to find the right words to express their thoughts. Some are total scatterbrains. Since music is a language, this must transfer over to playing. Same problems. Word flow and sentence structure, transpose into fretboard chaos, trouble finding the right words=trouble finding the right notes or patterns.
