Six String Sweeps on Electric Guitar?
How do you pull these off? I’m a somewhat experianced guitar player, but I can’t seem to get these down.
And please, only answer if you actually know how to do these. Don’t waste my time, please. Thanks in advance.
start off by just going through a scale you know. just pick the root, 3rd and 5th. the trick is timing. start on the low E string, and pick the root note, but dont stop the picking motion until your pick is resting on the next string. then, make sure you kill the note you just hit at the same time you push the pick past the next string. you’re not really picking again, you’re just continuing the motion you’ve already got going. they’ll sound super clean if you start slow and make sure that you’re only letting one ring at a time. gradually as it feels more natural, you can go a little faster.
when you get that down, change directions. eventually you can add in some slides, hammer-ons, etc.
