Josh Middleton gets a lot of love from us, mostly because of his transparency and willingness to teach his skills to anyone who is interested. There’s no mystery to him, no rockstar attitude or putting on airs, just skill and passion.
One of his hallmark styles is his impeccable sweep picked arpeggios, which imply extremely interesting chord changes that are unlike the typical diatonic schlock. They have a Danny Elfman-esque quality to them, like the Tim Burton Batman soundtrack on speed. In this video lesson he details his technique and concept behind his blazing sweeps and how to practice them. Tabs onscreen!
