Chords for Michael Angelo Batio: "How to play sweep picking" (Guitar Lesson)

[F] _ _ [E] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ When I developed sleeping see I came up in the age where _ I'd never seen it
_ See we used to call in my hometown of Chicago sleeping rakes
Because it reminded me of raking leaves it wasn't until Frank Ambali
_ Popularized the name sweet.
We never called them sweeps
[Em] _ Here's how I started when I was a [N] little boy.
There's [Abm] an old song _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ [G] That's the first time I ever heard
_ Anybody doing that on the [Abm] guitar _
_ _ [C] Now I play piano and [Abm] I'm able to do arpeggios
So I asked [Db] myself how do I play an arpeggio on guitar?
_ [Cm] I never no [Em] one had ever stopped one
I don't I didn't know any no jazz guitar players played sweeps like that.
[G] Yeah, so I came up with my version [Abm] was this
_ But _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
it sounded too mellow to me like _ _ _ _ I came up with this _
I _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
was very young [G] and then what I said is that's not a good way to play [C] arpeggios
It doesn't sound like a piano.
So I started [Abm] thinking this _
_ _ [B] And _ _ [Db] _ _
what I [Abm] did is I took that and said _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So [G] because I've never seen it, you know now anybody knows that before it was not known at all
So what I did was to learn how to play these sweeps.
I taught myself I figured out the shape
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ I
[N] Do is I practiced it slow see when I play
_ _ [B] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ And _
[Ab] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Ab] the [G] reason is is they don't play it slow see I used [Abm] to just go _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ I
Recommend to other _ _ guitarists
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Here's the problem your fretboard hand is moving fast
But you're picking the hand is moving slow and I watch people all the time.
There's another [Abm] way
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] I
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
It's like I [Gb] always say it's like running [Db] _ _
[G] around in circles to go straight you want to think
_ please be beats _ sing [Abm] just go _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ See at [Eb] many times [G] and also another key that I [Ebm]
that was [Cm] something I discovered myself [Gb] many times
Most guitar players will only watch the netbook
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I
[N] Find it's hard for some people _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ See [G] _ _
_ _ just to watch this hand _ makes a complete difference because you can see if you're going
_ _ _ But but and so I used to tell students and [Em]
myself not just watch this hand, but especially in our [Dbm] country _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Db] _ [B] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] Just
Just to concentrate on [Abm] this _ _ so
