Joel Hoekstra on Sweep Arpeggios 7 of 10 chords
Start Jamming...
Around the mid [A] 80s Yngwie Malmsteen kind of hit the scene and really popularized what's known as sweep arpeggios
And [E] that was something that [C] you know I know as a kid when we first started we went man
What's he doing like how's he how's he [E] making that happen?
So I just wanted to give you guys one of the exercises from the magazine
We did exercise six Jude
And I did just a two octave arpeggio just to help you guys get started with doing some [Dm] sweeps
So what I'm doing here is I'm taking E minor
[G] So I'm playing seven on the a string with my [E] pinky
[G] five on the D
Four on the G with my [A] first
Five on the B with my middle and on the high E [D] here.
I'm gonna do is only pick it once
I'm gonna pick the [G] third fret with my first finger.
I'm gonna hammer on the seventh and pull it right back off
[C] Okay, so on the way down Oh
[G] [Em]
[F] Now the [Dm] idea was sweep picking is that rather than trying to alternate pick like alternate [G] directions with your pick
You're just gonna fall into the next string and wait for your left hand to be [C] ready to play that note
So if you can see my right [A] hand here [E] what I'm doing
[D] And now after [G] playing that first note.
I'm already [D] resting on the D waiting to play the [G] next note
Oh in other words my [C] my pick only moves in one direction to go down
[E] [A#] Way back here what we're [C] doing is start after that your hammer on pull off here on the B
[E]
My [C] pick only moves up okay, and [A] that's what allows that like smooth sound you're not trying to dig alternate picking
Anyway [D] in the magazine Jude showed E [Em] minor
[C]
[C#] [F#]
[F] And then we went to [G] G major
[D] And you can continue the exercise up this [Gm] is the same shape as E minor [G] just starting on the 12th fret it's a [Am] minor
[E]
[C] And then the 14th fret would be B minor same [D] shape once
So now take that shape [C] from the 10th fret the G [G] major play it here [C] at the 15
[D] [G]
[C] And now you're back up here to E minor
Alright, so here's the exercise
[E] [G]
[Am] [G] [C]
[D] [C] [Am]
[Gm] You know one thing about [G#] something like sweep arpeggios [D] though is it's obviously a really fancy lick
So you have to make sure they use it in the right places
