Shred Tech: How to Sweep Pick Chords on the Guitar

by Tim Scullion

This is a guitar instruction book that is a definitive look at how to sweep pick chords on the guitar. Sweep picking is when you move your picking hand and pick across all or most of the strings with one motion. You are not using the usual down and up-stroke motions on the individual strings when you play: You are using an economy of motion that will in the end go faster, sound better, and be more rhythmically in time. This is a must have for lead guitarists wanting to take their playing to the next level! No matter what style of music you play (rock, metal, jazz, country, blues, classical), you can improve your playing dramatically by learning how to sweep pick. You can sound incredibly fast and competent when you learn the techniques in this book. This book shows you how to sweep pick any chord anywhere on the neck of the guitar, using diagrams and guitar tabulature to make the learning process easy. This is not a generic formula for all chords-each chord sweep is treated differently, with ideas that are melodic and original. The types of chords taught: Major, minor, major 7th, minor 7th, 9th, minor 9th, dominant 7th, 13th, diminished, major 7th #5, major 7th b5; not to mention learning chordal scales and tapping sweeps. All of these chords are essential knowledge for any lead guitarist-and knowing how to sweep pick them is icing on the cake! So put away the video games and learn the techniques to make you a real guitar hero!
