two things: I also want the gp files ;). And I can host em indefinately as well in a server. Another thing. Noob question as I never tried sweeping before:

As I understand, u just "sweep" the pick up and downwards while freting but, what hapens when there are two notes on a string?, do u hammer the second one and stop the sweep til u gotta play the next string?

i have the same question obaout the "2 notes on one string" any help, PLEASE!!!!

either: A) hammer-on/pull-off, or B) pick in the opposite direction. when first learning a new sweep shape, i preffer to pick the 2nd note, as it helps with timing, but after a while i'll start to hammer/pull.

Thanks so much Drew! I've been playing for 17 years and I've yet to tackle sweeps and this helps tremendously! You're breakdowns into the smaller string grouping makes it remarkably similar to arpeggio-groupings I've played for years and is helping get a grasp on the technique involved in turning it into a sweep. Can't wait to work on this more when I get home!

You sir, fsckn rock!:bowdown:
