Drop a / B Standard Sweep Picking Exercises?
Well until I get a 7 string I’d like to learn some 6 string drop A / B standard sweep picking exercises, the 3 note stuff is hard for me because by the time I’ve got the up motion going I have to go down again. I’d like something across like 4 or 5 strings.
I want some weird sounding type sweeps like in Chelsea Grin’s song "Crewcabanger" at the end:
I don’t want anything that requires huuuuuuge stretches like from 12th to 17th fret just yet, something cool and not too hard.

The 6 string stuff will sound odd when you hit the 6th string if you do it exactly like the tabs say but as you’re just using this as an exercise that doesn’t really matter. Could always move the stuff on the sixth string up two frets although that might make some of them a bit tricky.
In B standard, and any other standard tuning, everything on that site will sound fine; just in a different key.
I’ve never actually seen the site I linked to before but it seems better than most the lessons I’ve seen on sweeping.
