Why It Matters
Six-string sweeps require exceptional coordination and palm muting. This drill teaches you to roll across multiple strings to prevent note bleeding while using your palm to keep the low strings completely quiet.
How to Practice
- 1Sweep smoothly across all six strings, maintaining a constant pick velocity.
- 2Roll across adjacent strings cleanly, lifting each finger instantly after the note is struck.
Tips & Techniques
- •Aggressively palm mute the lower strings to prevent high-gain feedback.
- •Keep the pick angled slightly in the direction of the sweep to slice through strings.
