Sweep Picking Guitar Technique Lesson: Gambale guitar style lesson

In this lesson we are going to look at sweep picking and variations on Frank Gambale’s sweep picking guitar technique/method.

The key to “Rhythmic Phrases” and smooth sweep picking is to practice a rhythmic line, sweep arpeggio and then rhythmic line again. This is essential for flowing improvisational lines. Otherwise sweep picking can become , blip, blip,blip. Which will sound very un-rhythmical.

I only employ simple sweep picking patterns so that I can make rapid flowing musical phrases when I am improvising.
