Started Sweep Picking Today (3 strings)

Current mood: sick

How best to describe sweep picking... ah...

I started out on Atreyu's Bleeding Mascara sweep solo early this morning. The sweep picking is played 265 bpm on the tab. So I started at 100. I started speeding it up by 10bpm if I played through it twice without mistake. After 2hrs I was up to 170, and it sounded pretty crappy. So I went to bed.
I've been battleing this cold for a couple days now. So I woke up 2hrs later coughing on God knows what.

Anyway. I started back up again at 140bpm. It came out quite smoothly. So I started bumping it up. Eventually, I made it up to 265bpm. It sounded pretty good by then. I'd miss a string or hit the bass G string on the way back up the neck, but other then occassional flub. I had it.

I'm going to wait another hour or 6 before I post a recording in my skillz section.

(maybe I'll be able to play it 320 or something by tonight

I'll upload a much better quality version in a week or so.
