Ok, myself and Angel of Death are both wanting to sweep pick on the guitar. Who will suss it first?

In the red corner- Angel of Death- Can play all of Metallica's solos and songs from Kill em all to the black album. Practices shit loads. Has hair. He is young.

In the blue corner- Hog- Played guitar for 14 years but concentrated on songwriting since day one so his technique is less solo based. Is prepared to have lessons to nail this. Has no hair, is old (is a red wine sipping fucker)

these are your three main shapes, they are in Dminor. change the flat third back to make them major. i find that muting is just as important as the notes, as the idea of the arpeggio is forthe notes to sound seperate. your right palm should cover the strings you have played and left hand (mainly 1st finger) should cover the srtings you havent played yet (reverse this when coming back up). shapes 1 and 2 require you to use what is known as a 'rolling bar' in order to get the desired note seperation.

good luck, i hope these help.

Haha just noticed this thread now!

I didn't know it was a competition!

I haven't been practicing much technique lately at all. Haven't really properly attempted sweeping.

I guess that Chi has money on it (who gets the 2 if either of us manages first?!) that I should give it a go.

I'm gonna win though :p You knows it biatch!

It's on! :up:

First one to write an original riff ?

Bets have started ......Now.

Guitarists with no hair tend to be the best ...... but in this case it is pretty one sided ........ well done James it was a tough challenge.

As whoring riffs from others is teh gheyzorz - I am safe for original riffs :up:

Just need to hope Hog here can learn them ;)
