[@DelgadoOnaindia93]

Videos like this make me thank youtube there's a speed option.

[@tysonrichardson2976]

This is one of the best by far on a good way to practice sweep picking and to strength be your fingers to do this

[@braddomac1]

That pinky... my god his pinky is nearly as big as his index finger

[@ChaserHUN]

He makes it look so easy....

[@ArseLoad0fMetal666]

that thing where u put your right hand over the neck taught me how to do sweep picking, this video is the best sweep picking video on youtube and i would not be able to sweep if it wasnt for this video...

[@MetvsBodom]

@843andrew I half agree with you, the hits froms in waves (built to fall, black, watch the world burn etc.) sound alot like radio music, but when I listened to a skyline's severance, forsake not the dream and chaos reigns I felt that love for Trivium's anger and passion again, the album is pretty great I think, it just takes a few listens, like most Trivium songs

[@TommysPickle]

This video right here taught me how to sweep pick. Just one m0:00re reason why I love Trivium

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

I could watch Matt play all day

[@Jakehatred666]

@MrJackaroo123 Yeah i read that and that Matts with Gibson & Corey is with Jackson

[@ModelKing1000]

So he just got rid of the whole picking thing and just hammers them. thats a great idea! lol

[@jimmyjimjam]

+Joseph Ross (Modelking1000) It's actually a great way to accelerate your sweep learning. I'd go as far to say you won't be able to sweep pick at high tempos with clarity if you cannot hammer your way through the same pattern. People think the key is in the right hand - but that's just a strum motion. Most L + R coordination issues or sloppiness is actually the LH struggling to remain consistent WITH the RH.

[@ModelKing1000]

+jimmyjimjam I agree completely. that's my problem now, trying to get a decent tempo while maintaining a certain clarity.

[@BlackfeatherAlexander]

Corey looks like a street shark.

[@Twice_Marvel]

Alex Ω 😂

[@murphysanders9878]

Lmfao, that's an awesome observation!

[@NicktheLP]

Damn, quite the stamina

[@XxtractOfficial]

@bulletsk8r No they had like a three year contract with dean and it expired. Now Matt is with Les Paul and Cory is with jackson. Thats what the used to use back in ascendancy, now they are again

[@halifaxskater]

The pattern is F minor, which he then moves to F major.

[@MythicalDivines]

@LongSchlongJohn search Sylosis-empyreal they do a series of sweeps at the start and that pattern is the first part of it

[@Guitardude81597]

this sounds so much cleaner then when he was still a kid in another lesson i saw that he was teaching

[@alexisnicolas9554]

lol on exercise four his fingers totally look like a spider running around haha

[@metallicaguy123]

My friends tell me that also when I play any riff, lol

[@kylemainey6081]

This really helped me with my finger speed

[@Blackbird5150]

@XxtractOfficial They still gotta use their Deans for their 7-string stuff though, I don't think there are 7-string Les Pauls..yet.

[@BMTHization]

hes gotten like 300x cleaner, its ridiculous. love matt and corey!

[@MetalJams]

they're also in the song torn between scylla and charibdis

[@Stigma1990]

I have the same problem with my sweeps, I don't practice them a lot because they're not really my thing but some tips I've had from people are 1.) Do NOT tense up your arm, let it be itself and don't strain it. 2.) Start slow and work your way up over time once you get both hand in sync, and 3.) Just relax, man. Not just your pick arm, but all of you; just chill and let your brain fill in the gaps.

[@Jakehatred666]

Cool Lesson !!!! but w/e happened to Triviums Dean guitars?

[@TheJDroid]

how come everytime i try to sweep pick, i end up hitting the g string open, i dont know what im doing wrong....

[@slashrishi]

Ya i had that prob 2..especially alternate picking..m still working on it..practise.. best.. look at ur right hand while playing.. I got a lot better with time :)

[@3badthebad]

he makes it look so effortless, if only it were that easy 😔

[@TheJDroid]

im having an issue with my picking hand but my left hand can get the notes easily, its just i cant get my picking hand in sync, can anyone help me?

[@Fexes420]

thats crazy... so what your saying is that by strengthening the fingers on the fretboard, you can actually play this sweep without picking at all...

[@666nothingleft]

does he switch to the neck pick-up to do sweeps?

[@nazmisuhaimiflicks]

I like matt gibson the body looks really beautiful and the sound is amazing

[@ChronoCross69]

The pattern he does with the 5 string sweep is Bm, G and what's the last pattern? I can't get it. He plays it only downwards and once. =\

[@nurwadi26]

omg. how am i gonna do that sweep

[@gingerrussell]

He starts the sweeps with an up-stroke right?

[@voter1412]

when I saw this I was like: "what the fuck?" and then he said that it's a good warm-up exercise and I was: "what the fuck?!"

[@MrSkully99]

Hey can someone tell me if i should be picking hard when i sweep or just lightly brush over the strings? Or doesn't it matter? Please help :)

[@conor2098]

Thank you sooooo much I learnt how to sweep pick from this :)

[@Jakehatred666]

@bulletsk8r i think i saw that was it wen it fell over and broke

[@danobrien2468]

On the 5 string Maj/Min sweep, what finger is the counting finger/fret?

[@MetalMakesMeEargasm]

anybody who doesn't like Trivium can't deny that this is one great sweeping lesson!

[@davidnaylorwayy]

@gaarauchihahalo3fan if you go on the website its got a tab for it

[@bulletsk8r]

@Jakehatred666 well from wat i heard matt smashed his guitar on stage and dean guitars got really pissed at them so they roll with different brand guitars now

[@alan.92]

@jacobcorruptedomen that my friend, is the sound of a Marshall ;)

[@charmanfer]

Somebady have the tab or the pattern of the excersice 4? I want it! Thanks c:

[@Jrocka7x]

Sweep picking turns me on. Too bad I can't do it yet! Also, In waves is a bit different, but it's a great album; though, it's only a stepping stone for them, I believe. Not as consistently likable as Shogun, but improvement was made. I fell in love with Inception of the End. XD

[@Cinis16]

@TheFrostBitez you use your right hand to block the ghost notes that technique is perfect for showing off hahah

[@lukeckdavis]

His playing is so much cleaner compared to the crusade era. God what I'd give to play like him...

[@Holaaparty]

Amazing finger power 1:23

[@darkdeath49]

Mine doesn't anymore... I've been doing them long enough now.

[@oldspicekid250]

love it!

[@adidarmsvideos9822]

what type of gibson that use by matt hafy?

[@carloscancino649]

It's an Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom

[@843andrew]

@Colton527 true so many people have attacked me...they are starting to sound like radio music--they lost their aggressiveness(although i do like soft songs too)

[@metallicaguy123]

Haha! His fingers totally look like mines when I play guitar. Spider fingers

[@a7xAMAZINGa7x]

It's really easy. I learned it when I was 13 and it's really easy now

[@Guilhermefritz]

meu deus, olha a mão do cara... parece impossível pra mim.

[@Stratocaster1990]

do his fingers ever get tired? :p

[@koryakapelinal333]

@ZxE73 Oh yeah I spelled it like an exorcism, whoops. Lol And anyway, he doesn't sweep very much anymore. That's not really an excuse. Besides, he isn't really sloppy at all here. He was just trying to show an exercise for improving your left hand's finger strength, he wasn't saying "CHECK OUT THIS MASTER SWEEPING TECHNIQUE." He rarely sweep picks at all anymore, as he said. Oh and don't call me kid tough guy.

[@Sk8ing4redbull]

is that website free?

[@AngelofDeth110]

When I do this I always hit unwanted strings :(

[@chewielnp312]

even though he does 5 string sweeps towards the end

[@MythicalDivines]

yeahh ive heard them, got there album on my ipod :')

[@TheCompulsionToKill]

this is pretty basic actually not even using all six strings. i got 7-string sweep arpeggios down. 8-string still cant get. well anyhow LOVE the sound of the pattern Matt was playing

[@5TRYD4]

is distortion on whilst sweeping or soloing im not sure

[@5TRYD4]

Its on full!!

[@PmrGuitar]

@FullJarre ya that is easyer then it look

[@Siorse]

It does have lenses...

[@spideyness345]

Damn this guys is good :D

[@guitartime1231]

of course man they hold a greatly superb metal band

[@Dmedidssosa]

Excellent exercises! =)

[@MetvsBodom]

0:00 what was the point of corey being in the vid for 3 seconds?

[@lestat102786]

i love that guitar!!!!!

[@jakesegdirb]

People need to watch this sweep video instead of his earlier when he didn't know the names of all his sweeps :P lol Plus his technique got so much better since that last video to.

[@TheErnestoVidales]

@Sk8ing4redbull Sadly, it´s not free somebody should rip the video off

[@lrest]

The Auto-Pinky!!! Goddamn, he's amazing.

[@Cinis16]

You gotta try!

[@jmckmedia6377]

I want that Les Paul!!! He's soooo good lol

[@pjuckazz]

anyone heard what he said about sweeping on a les paul ?:S

[@PlAiNcHrIs13]

2:20 Same sweeping pattern from Empyreal :P

[@fumanchu000]

Yeah, he had his distortion on the whole time.

[@c.j.echave]

Sounds like chromatic scale used in vela together we await the storm

[@danieluan89]

it's loomis not lommis...

[@ahmetgalip07]

The best picking

[@TheRaven0us]

Holy shit, this guy is good

[@killagingatk]

ok fyi sweeping is as much about the picking as it is the fretting its not like u only have to work on one hand

[@XGuitarTutorialsX]

Matt Heafy kicks ass!

[@AaronBowersable]

If you're going to say something don't make yourself look like a fool by being prejudice. Many people appreciate the upload, there's nothing more inspiring than having a few guitar idols - also I think he's a good musician, but there's nothing more pathetic than people who have nothing but horrible things to say when others take their time to contribute something.

[@MetalFanFX]

@MetalFanFX hahaha right back at ya big guy.

[@PmrGuitar]

That some carzy 5 string sweep pick at 2:22

[@epiphonemaster83197]

Dont you need a pick to PICK sweep... XD Amazing video c:

[@TheBackpackface]

Hey if you guys are into some intense sweeps check out my Crossroads cover, its pretty intense I cant play it near perfect but its pretty cool!

[@PlagueOfEnvy]

That Les Paul is glorious..

[@thisismyname1920]

@TheB3dhead i totaly would. I only need one! haha

[@Wips14]

If you look through the glass, you can see it's graduated glass

[@amvtunage7694]

corey beaulieu making fun of herman li since birth!!!

[@higler.]

huh?

[@dimehead666]

Yeah TRIVIUM !!!!!!!!

[@MrSkully99]

Yeah but it's a good exercise if you want to improve your finger strength. :)

[@FtaCapoeiraWoot]

mine doesn't

[@BMTHization]

@thisismyname1920 I WOULD! IVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT FOREVER!!

[@MyMommaSaid12]

Sweeping like a janitor :)

[@supertacoman6738]

Bro is able to sweep pick without sweeping or picking

[@Cinis16]

and thanks to this, I managed to almost master those sweeps in less than a year. muahaha... (sorry this is not relevant. I just wanted to comment)

[@LaRatitia]

Its all in the pinky.

[@wrestling45]

Matt can probably do 6 string sweeps. I just bet he never really tried them haha. He's better than I am and I can do them.
