UNLOCKED FOR YOU!

Gretchen Menn

Sweep picking is picking a technique that is the complement of alternate picking—yin and yang. Whereas in alternate picking we alternated up and down strokes, sweep picking keeps the pick moving in the same direction until a larger change of direction must be made. It can be a very efficient and economical way to play arpeggios or lines on adjacent strings.
