These are only Sweep Picking shapes you need.

This sweep picking etude uses 5 and 6 string Major and minor triad shapes. It's desigened to be musical rather than a display of technique.

Because sweep picking isn't just to stun your guitarist friends with an onslaught of notes 😉

This technique makes shredding fun and easy

I call it 'Speedburst' Picking and it's been around for a while but no one really talks about it.
This technique combines alternate picking and legato to create fast sextuplet runs.

EVH and Dimebag Darrel have been using this approach in their playing.

Creating Cascading Pentatonic runs in the style of Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa

Instead of immediately applying vibrato after playing a note, let the note ring out momentarily before introducing subtle, rhythmic vibrato. This creates a sense of anticipation and amplifies the emotional depth of your playing. Ideal for slow, melodic solos where you want to create tension or drama
