Really cool that alexi posted here too. The b=h thing in europe: in holland we don't talk about h. We use b. About those sweep things, when I started practicing I played exercices like this:
e-15p12-------12---17p14------17---19p15-----15---21p17------17-
b-------14--14-----------15--15----------17-17-----------19--19---
g---------13---------------14--------------16---------------18-----
e-----6-9p6-------6-12p9-----------9-15p12-----------12-18-
b---8-------8---8---------11----11----------14-----14-------
g-9-----------9--------------12-----------------15-----------
e---------------------------------------------8-12p8--------10-13p10----
b--------8-10p8------------9-12p9----------8-------8------9---------9---
e------9--------9--------10-------10------9----------9---10-----------10
d-7h10-----------10-9h12------------12-10-------------12---------------
Etc etc these kind of exercices are easy to make up. A song with really fast arpeggios is paganini caprice #24. But then, most of the caprices are really good for your playing skills. And michael angelo's speed kills is great to exercice with too, but that's just my personal opinion.

I know most people probably don't think the same thing as me, but I have an easier time running 5 and 6 string sweeps than I do with the simple 3 string arps. For some reason I can't hit the 3 string ones so that the G string doesn't ring open when I let go of the note.

I've been working on sweeps now for about 5 months, ands ive only just got 3 string ones down. So I think, like with everything with guitar its all about patience, and just builing the skill up slowly.
Once you have the 3 string sweeps sorted though I think it gets a lot more easier, because your right and left hand are much more in sync.

Yes. Well it didn't take very long for me, but sometimes the 5 or 6-string sweeps dont sound totally clean and straigt. But in my case, it got easier with practising and time, and it didn't take very long...Day_Before_Dawn said:

For me, the 5 and 6 string arpeggios come out perfectly clean, but when I try to hit the 3 stringers the open G ends up ringing out when I let go of the note. Strangely, that doesn't happen when I play the big ones. It's fucking frustrating. I've practiced 3 string arps for hours on end to no avail. Usually when I'm trying to play something with 3 string arps I just turn them into 5 stringers and play them out like that.

hmm...I think it's beacuse you start at the g-stirng when you play 3-string-sweeps, and when you play 6-string-sweeps you dont start with the g...?!
