Merhaba….. Man there is no word to tell how i feel appreciated.
i guess i started to like you more than Neil, Just kidding; I love your lessons equally
best regards
Great lesson! I am going to practice those sweeps for sure!
I do have a request, though. Do you think that Ben could do a lesson showing a handful of different sweep patterns, i.e. m7, maj7, different minor and major patterns, if that makes any sense, and if Neal could do a lesson showing a handful of licks we can use in solos? Thanks.
love the intro to this one
please make a video showing how to play that awsome intro!!!
Great video. Thanks
been having some serious trouble with a few of the sweep shapes especially on the decent. But this looks AWESOME!
These dudes are all so cool and direct to the point. Love Guitar Tricks
@MuratCandogan did I get the pronounciation right?
@BenLindholm yes, you did it very well
It’s Ben “The Guitar Master” Lindholm! Great fucking job, Bro! Thanks! I’m struggling with sweep picking and economy picking right now, so this lesson is much appreciated!
FUCKING EPIC!! I LOVEE YOU
@NewMetallica there’s a good chance that will happen, yes
Those are some insane sweeps!!!
Why don’t you have oyur own lesson sets?! (free) :]
Love this it has paul Gilberts octave feel
@nornc it sounds more like Steve Vai
@BenLindholm Hi Ben, thanks for your reply. But since you are here on Youtube, can I ask you a question ? I’ve actually been looking for a backing track like you play on in the beginning of this video with a piano, for that extra slow and powerful emotional soloing. Can I get that backing track somewhere ? Thanks in advance, if you would reply
What are “Arpeggiating Chords” supposed to mean and please explain how do we mark on the guitar the Key( i.e. Key of A)?
@Taz8324844 Arpeggiating Chords means that you take a chord, and instead of strumming all the strings at once, you play them one at a time. If you were referring to when I say “Triad based arpeggio sweeps” in the video, this means that we take the Root, the Third and the Fifth (i.e. the Triad) and play them one at a time, but very fast. The sweeps in this lesson are not triad based, since I only used the Root and the Fifth. I don’t understand what you mean by “mark a key on the guitar”?
I don’t want to learn how to video game sweep wtf. just teach us some sic sweeping scales. please
