Major Sweeping Guitar Lick
by Kristofer Dahl
KristofersMethod.com

In this lesson we will take a typical shred guitar technique and apply it to clean sound. This kind of unorthodox combination can get you one step closer to creating your own style. Also, combining two techniques which you are already familiar with, is usually easy - be prepared for instant reward!

Now, get your chops out and let's do some sweeping! If you are not getting this right - you are likely to do the wrong right-hand motion. Study the video very closely.

Also, I am applying slight palm muting to clean things up. And yes you might have guessed it: My sweeping technique isn't quite where it should be , if I need both a clean sound as well as palm muting to play cleanly...
