Niccolai said some good stuff about the technique part.

Also, the speed trainer built into Guitar Pro is WONDERFUL for practicing sweeps.

Remember, a "Sweep" is simply the idea of playing two adjacent strings on the same stroke. Before jumping all over 5 and 6 string exercises, practice some simple 2 or 3 string stuff. Do like Niccolai said, practice up and down seperate, then put them together.

I'll give you some exercises as soon as Rev codes a tab feature into the board.

Also, if you want some more stuff go to www.chopsfromhell.com Theres a section of free lessons and exercises, complete with video and audio examples.

If you have not got guitar pro, you should get it. If you refuse, then do things the old fashioned way: Set a metronome at where you can comfortably play the exercise without missing or muffing anything. Now do it 3 or 4 times through, and go up 2-6bpm, depending what is comfortable to you. Keep doing this. When you nail it 3-4 times in a row, increase the speed. If you hit a roadblock, fucking CRANK the metronome and try to play it. Now go back to where you were roadblocked.

Remember though, it's about the notes. Learning one or two generic patterns is meaningless if you keep cramming them into song after song. The notes should dictate the technique, not the other way.
