There are a couple good ones I use to practice. I'd recommend starting at about 100-130 bpm's and increasing by 10 once you get it down good. Then when it's too fast, go down by 5. Repeat until you get it down very good smile

D Major Arpeggio
E--------------14h17p14------------------------------------------
B----------15-------------15---------------------------------
G------14---------------------14-----------------------------
D---16----------------------------16-------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

And I came up with a multi-sweep pattern I like to play and practice and stuff. It's not very hard, but it's fun smile

(something in Key of d minor... if i'm not mistaken...)
E-------------7h9p7-------------7h10p7---------------8h10p8-------------------10h12p10------

Ah...sweeps. After learning them you'll figure out you'll never use them. Ha.

The only thing I can tell you is to practice! It won't come in a day, so be patient.

About guild/sub-forum:
I actually have a spare guild that I have no use for. I'll gladly turn it into Guitar Techniques Guild, while assigning moderator rights to anyone who has them in this guild.

I have a question regarding doing 6-string sweeps.

How do you get the "rolling" action going up the strings?
Like in this sweep:

E---------
B---------
G---------
D---------
A----5----
E-------5-

From like 5 on 5th to 5 on 6th.

the gist of it is that you take your finger and rest it with more pressure on one string then as you head dow, release the pressure and apply it to the next string.

i'm an amateur at sweeping but i hope it helps.
