Hi all, have been playing for a little while now and am just trying to develop my abilities as best i can (still struggle with real fast riffage).
I started to practice a simple dimished scale sweep to begin pick up the technique, pattern goes as follows:-
e|----------------9-h-12-p-9----------------|
B|-------------11------------11-------------|
G|-----------9------------------9-----------|
D|---------8----------------------8---------|
A|-------7--------------------------7-------|
D|8-h-11-----------------------------11-p-8|
Now i began using this as you have 2 notes on the bottom and top strings but only one for the middle giving a clean sweep.
What im looking for is some suggestions of other patterns to practice as i think sweeps are meant to be constructed out of the notes to make up a chord (?); and does that mean that using the dimished scale like that ^ is wrong?
Hope you guys can help, apologise for my basic theory knowledge
