Selkies Sweeps (BTBAM)

Between the Buried and Me – Selkies… this is the famous sweep picking section of the song found near the end. Bit sloppy. Before anyone mentions the tuning – i know it’s a semi-tone sharper than the original but my guitar has 9-42 gauge strings on it, haha, it was already like playing elastic bands. Thom Barnes!

    haha, it killed me too dude, my sweeps never got good…the delay etc. hide a lot of errors here to be honest!

    Just practice slow until you’ve nailed that speed cleanly and comfortably and then bump it up a notch and repeat…i know that’s what everyone says but it’s the best way.

    Cheers dude! It’s my right hand where the strain is, but the main problem is with my back, I have hyper-mobile joints I get a lot of back ache which is made worse by bending over the guitar…i’d like to get a telecaster or something to play around on sometimes though.

    Where do you get that from? He seems pretty comfortable to me. Doesn’t seem stressed at all.

    I’ve never played a PRS, but I think the tone comes mostly from the guitar, and some what the strings, the distortion would too, but deff more of the guitar I’d say
