as i said before, try easy triads on the g b and high e strings, with only a straight sweep up or down, then progress up to longer sweeps, then add in hammers, taps, alternate picking strokes w/e. try to steer clear of dim7 chords for now, some of them are annoying because they span 5 frets, but you could always transpose them to different locations if you really wanted to. i suggest starting off with easy stuff like majors pm me if u want some more info or some ptb's with some basic exercises OH also i suggest watching players like frank gambale, a talented fusion guitarist. muhammad from necrophagist sweeps alot in his leads, theres some easy ones in the epitaph that you could try at a slower pace Try this site http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/arpeggio.php , type in the root, pattern and intervals of the chord you want to sweep and itll generate it for you | ||

---------------------12--17-12----------------------- -------------------15------------15------------------- -----------------14-----------------14-------------- ---------------15----------------------15---------- --------12--17--------------------------12-17---- ------------------------------------------------------ What im trying to do is pick the first 12 then sweep 17, 15, 14, 15, 12 then pick 17 and go back up and pick the last 17 to end it. should i just slowly practice 15,14, 15 or like 17, 15, 14? | ||

if you are constructing them from scales, try some of the modes such as the lydian (major scale with a #4, pleasant sounding) or maybe harmonic minor (i think yngwie uses it alot) | ||

u can sweep down and up, but try to do one, stop, then do the other, otherwise itll be much harder to get btw are you playing with a metronome? anyways, sweeping gets alot easier once you have that timing right, there are a few different patterns that can be used to play pretty much all maj and min chords (u can shift them around the frets a few times to get different intervals of the scale), stuff like dim chords have fairly easy fingerings | ||

cant say im really interested in them but GL also i dont know if your into this sort of stuff or not, but you can transcribe / look at tabs of some coltrane songs, in some of his more bop songs theres arpeggiated chords that can be swept | ||
