Sweep picking is one of the most widely used, maligned, misunderstood, overused, and tastelessly applied techniques on the guitar. As a result of great guitarists using this flashy technique applied tastefully and musically, there are a thousand mediocre players doing it sloppily and using it too much, and ten thousand beginners who want to know how it’s done.
