Sweep Picking Exercises

Sweep picking lets the pick fall through adjacent strings in one fluid raking motion, the signature move behind blazing arpeggio runs. The hard part is the fretting hand: roll one finger so only a single note rings at a time, perfectly synced to the sweep. These exercises build that roll-and-rake coordination from three-string triads upward — practise unplugged first to expose any overlapping notes, then add tempo.
