FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE : A lesson about playing guitar faster, Part 1



Today's lesson involves a couple of different picking techniques, sweep picking and alternate picking.
Sweep picking was made popular by guitarist like " FRANK GAMBLE and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN " to the left are example's of sweep picking exercises. Practice them starting out slowly then getting faster as you get better, make sure to be precise with each and every note, as well as to pick evenly, it will take some time to master but in the end it is all worth it!!!
The next picture to the left is of "FLIGHT OT THE BUMBLEBEE" it will serve as your lesson for alternate picking, which is simply put you pick one note with a downward stroke and the next with an up ward stroke. Start out slowly then work your way up to playing this piece faster. Remember to veiw the exercises just simply click on them, and print them if you would like.
