Sweep Licks

By Matt Hale

 


Ex.1 sweeping. This example is pretty straight forward. Play both the c minor and major arpeggios up the neck. Once you feel comfortable with this particular key transcribe it to all of the other keys.

Ex.2 Here we have a bit of the same. The first arpeggio is a Gm+9 arp. into a fun little pedal tone lick that employs the middle finger of the right hand to pluck the high E string. This is indicated by a P. The next two sweeps are pretty straight forward until you reach, yet again, another pedal tone. Treat this phrase as you did the first pedal tone.
