Learn Sweep Picking in 5 Minutes

[@gedcanonizado]

Finally a lesson that goes straight to the point without mixing a lot of unnecessary nonsense and showing off. Thanks brother!

[@johnwalbeck5068]

This actually worked. I’m not fast at it but I’ve been making a little bit of progress for the past 25-30 minutes after watching this video.

[@adrastea]

Same. Great teacher. Never thought I’d ever learn this lol

[@carlbaumeister3439]

You’ve got me sold-gonna try it!

[@miketransporter5638]

These tips would have served me well, back in the 70's & 80's

[@JustinRoyal]

You left out the part about the hours of practice. ;)

[@iRafaelkr]

Well, I guess you just start with the 2 strings and set a goal of speed (or bpm if you're using a metronome) and then increase speed when you feel confortable with that. After that goal was reached move on to the next (3 strings) and so on

[@robertgoodwinr6523]

That's the guitar, unfortunately or enjoying the journey - it takes hours of practice everyday to be good at it.

[@FadedLightXx]

Videos around 5 min?

[@animeclippers545]

YOU MEAN "months " OF PRACTICE

[@snd1213]

or even years)))

[@jBmusicman28]

This is by far the best and most helpful breakdown of how to approach sweep picking. This has definitely helped me a lot, now I just have to go and practice it and learn how to make it musical! Thanks man!! Keep on shredding!!

[@theshredguitarist25]

That intro was fucking amazing to say the least.

[@omeraktash]

You are the one that makes wanna dive into shredding because you do it the best smoothest way possible. Hope to play like you one day.

[@CHERN0BYLCH1LD]

i don’t often take these tutorials seriously because more often than not it’s just some guy flexing but this one genuinely helped, bravo 🙌

[@Skuubiii]

Thank you!!! I really swept in 5 minutes. At the beginning I was overwhelmed but your video saved me after years this technique gave me more enthusiasm to play guitar

[@estebangomez8048]

5 minutes? i will practice only 10 minutes then.... i don't wanna make Yngwie Malmsteen jelous.

By far the best video so simple to learn sweep picking and Arpeggios

[@tylerfenelon7172]

that first tech breakdown just opened it up man thank you.

[@TobyKBTY]

Lord. Your technique is AMAZING. It's almost scary. Same feeling I get when I watch people like Wes Hauch, Rick Graham, and Nick Johnston...

[@IsSingCovers]

What a great tutorial..NOW I KNOW HOW TO SWEEP! Takes me more than 5 minutes , but that still the most accurate video out there

[@gw2031]

I'm learning this style at the moment but the key technique that this guy can do in his sleep but he didn't teach is the critical push through withThe pick motion and mute each note before you strike the next ! Great player btw.

[@JPOliveiragtr]

What amp used?

[@lotlum4343]

Another thing to note is your guitar, a very good set up guitar will make it much easier to play.

[@carlosfigueroa790]

Thanks!!! from Central America. Guatemala City. Hart of the Mayan World!

[@47Wolfgang]

Nice licks, Two string sweeps, reminds me of the Dont tell me you love solo

[@theshredguitarist25]

And also, thanks for making this video! It was very clear to understand and helpful.

[@barrypwalkerable]

Great video 👍well explained. Thanks for posting

[@televiewmedia6395]

OMG.....That is a beautiful guitar!!

[@The68lespaul]

thanks Straten , I had some doubt about picking up sweep picking in 5-min. but as I watched ,I was able to play along with you and did complete the entire 1st sweep picking pattern you played , in fact, I had my guitar on and started playing right as you did, before I knew it, I was making up a gang of different patterns from watching your 1st pattern , you can take that type or pattern use all over the neck, as long as it sounds good who cares where the notes are as long as it sounds bad ass , its bad ass, your ears will tell you that, if it sounds like hell then it sounds like hell, but if it sounds cool and you like the way it sounds then it must sound cool make sense anyone?? let your ears do the work for you, one thing I discovered, sometimes looking at the neck and frets fucks me up, more so than if I play with my eyes closed ,and just listen to what im playing you,ll soon realize and gain a better feeling of how the notes sort of come together as you develop your feel for the neck along with each note and where it feels and sounds cool, you,ll be playing all kinds of cool stuff sooner than you may think by using this sort of technique , playing with my eyes closed works for me, that's all im saying it helped me progress in every aspect of guitar playing, my speed, patterns, how I want the note to sound, you,d be surprised by how good you,ll become by using your ears as a helpful tool in that it helps you or at least it helped me to become a lot better all the way around , that's all im saying , but then ive always loved playing guitar ,im always practicing ,now that is a must do, you,ll never get good if you don't practice , you HAVE TO PRACTICE if you want to become a good guitar player ,like anything else in life you have to work at it, your only going to get out of it , what you put into it, bottom line, theres no such thing as a short cut with playing the guitar, its either in you , or its not ,its just that simple ,

[@kailanromer3368]

well said

[@maddoxhallums4869]

Hmm.. it's interesting that you up pick the last note of the arpegggio, I usually just hammer on

[@kelvinfranco5387]

That's a very nice tone man. Can you do a video tour of your rig. Thanks

[@meetaallica]

thank you it really helped ( im fed up to write this comment under every video i watched about sweep picking but i hope one day i write wtih a real meaning )

[@ChadBedwell]

Hey, Bro..Thanks For that Tip...I'm an Old Dog that has had to Incorporate Sweeping into my 80's George Lynch and Warren DeMartini style of Lead Playing, That's my Roots. 34 years of Playing....

[@TavernMasterAndy]

Lovely tone on your set up man.

[@RufusEatsCheese]

Great video - thanks man! Been a guitarist since 1990 but never learnt to sweep pick 🙏🏻

[@bennyjuanillo9559]

I can't believe this was straten marshall, i watched this video for more than a year ago, then saw this melodic shreddist guy on instagram, subscribed to his channel then suddenly just found out that it was him today when i searched his channel again😂 what a coincidence

[@NaTe422pEck]

Very good tutorial! Sweeps are fun man i love this guy 🎉

[@IGstBNgrPPutra]

the ending licks was just so cool, could you make a tutorial about that licks?? sorry for my bad english

[@diggidydamndave]

This literally helped my technique.

[@pepe_152]

Also hold the pick really softly

[@bandicoot5412]

That and constant rep, you got something, thanks!

Thank you very much! Finally learned how to sweep pick. Subscribed!

i have been trying to sweep for years. i just could never get it, but I'm gonna try again.

[@LuizRammy]

Best teacher ever 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@acegitaar]

Thanks great sweep lessons bro! I will have to practice more than 5 mins Btw: cool lick at 5:05 Pls give tab on this Cheers

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

it's the speed that fucks me up lol, I practice and practice, but I can't seem to get any faster. I can see you're a definite fan of Malmsteen, cool.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

my fretting hand just won't go that fast.

[@jakinstire9008]

Beautiful guitar

[@shinwang6102]

what if i have to bar the bottom two strings and it sounds too nosiy. Will i have to palm mute it ?

[@robertgoodwinr6523]

Thanks for posting! Big help. Nice playing and strat!

[@artistled]

I wished you would've elaborated on the sweep going back up, not just down. Can you do a part two to this and really break it down as well as slow it down for us to really see this please? Thanks for this lesson by the way. This was great!

[@trevorcarl9515]

Ben Eller has a great video breaking down the technique.

[@artistled]

@@trevorcarl9515 thanks trevor. I'll check it out.

my strings a little bit higher than normal. İs that obstruct for sweep ??

[@19leinad91]

Wow thanks a lot. Going to start it since we're lockdown. Day1

[@HighVybeTribe]

Where can I find one of those magick guitar picks ??

[@theidiotwhowaitsforjesus889]

I love how mid intermediate - advanced players put a beautiful vibrato upon a single string when they are teachin, i am one of those and its an awesome habit.

[@countrypo]

Can you teach us ending free style shred lead plz?

[@masterman6537]

Hi Stratton I’m having a hard time writing a solo for 3 songs approximate solos 25 sec. Can you or someone come up with a cool solo not to crazy. Whatever it costs. I’ll explain why later why I can’t. Thank you Mike

[@moinulislamshajib6165]

Even some hybrid picking stuff too !

[@bryankeesee7177]

Man this guy is good and nice vibrato!

[@edieputu]

You are one of the best ! Awesome..keep good work mate

[@maxwellhawk]

lol i was skeptical to learn something from title sweep picking in 5 min from video like that... but it was actually useful.

[@Ouzo66]

Very helpful to know the way the pick goes .the rest is exercise and imagination

[@1lifeonearth]

Instructions unclear. I died.

[@Onen17]

So, I am assuming with practice the rhythm of it will come right?

[@TonberryGames]

Finally a lesson that doesn't ask me to grow a larger hand.

[@pojafreakz]

What different between arpeggio and sweep picking?

[@jakegonzalez8886]

How much time/ practice does it take to build up speed? Also is a metronome necessary?

[@420fazm]

I think I suck even more at sweeps now. Lol is there an easier way to learn?

[@hezziedin]

I like this skill sharing

[@dubdoesgameplays]

will it necessarily be harder for me if my pinky don't work right lol, I been playing for 10+yrs without using my pinky, and i think its time i start using it

[@roberth7399]

Nice demonstration and easy pattern that we or I can understand :)

[@crescendo33]

[@andreisevastre3659]

Awesome! This helped a lot, thanks man!

[@adamwuksta3255]

You can’t use open strings for sweeping arpeggios

Beautiful strat.

It's so effective thanks again !

[@wainboomer8207]

Excellent brother

[@nzSkitzo]

Hey bud can you please explain which part of your right hand you use to mute/collect the strings you have just passed when sweeping down? is it the thumb? or the palm? or something else? cheers!

[@gregcox9205]

I like your style. Down to business and not a bunch of useless blabbering. Keep it coming.

[@rodrigonascimentogtr]

Please guy, which the pickup you use in this guitar?

[@Alisaleh55]

Thanks a lot that really helped.

[@Guitarrobb1969]

Great tutorial! 😊👍👍🎸🎶

[@chasemcdaniel3620]

You're not explaining the trick to playing it fast. That last note on the e string is picked with rotational picking. The hand rotates like doing spirit fingers. 👋 You have to escape from the strings in a split second. The first part of sweeping is straight down and up. The hard part is building that string escape movement. It's all door knocking movements, and leg scratching movements, and spirit fingers. 👋

[@ishanator3819]

Chase McDaniel what are door knocking movements and spirit fingers and all

[@777-h6d]

Would love to see a video on this 👍

[@AUTI5T1X]

[@josemolina959]

Thanks, my nemesis, alternate and sweep picking. 👍🏼🤪

[@RhythemNBlues]

You'll need to work on it some everyday. You'll suck at it at first but then you'll start to pick it up plus it not a skill you can just learn and then forget about. It's something you have to put in your practice routine. Palm and picking thumb muting are necessary to play cleanly.

[@Rami-dh5dg]

Bro help I can’t lift my fingers without doing a pull off

[@MultiScoffer]

Please tell me what where are your amp settings and pedals to have such a sweet tone?

[@horseraddishomaleymarkus9759]

Does sweep picking refers to arpeggios?
