How would I do something like this:
------------6h9p6-------
---------------------7----
-----------------------8--
--------------------------
-6-9-6-7----------------
---------------------------
Would that be a sweep on the high strings?
Also if anyone can help me with 'pissing in the mainstream'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------12-16-12-------------------------------------------------------
-----12---------12-------13-16-13-------------15-18-15----------
---13------------13---13----------13-------16------------16-------
-14-----------------14----------------14-17------------------17----
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
How would I do that? I can do the downstroke good, but the 12-16-12 messes me up, I am I supposed to hammer-on-pull-off or alternate pick it? Which fingers should I use? I need help understanding the basics of sweep picking. Any tips would be appreciated. THANKS
