the best way to go about practicing sweeps is breaking it down into clumps of triplets at a slow tempo and speeding it up from there. most people who sweep just rake the pick and pay no attention to rhythm/timing when a vast majority of sweeps are usually subdivided into triplets or sextuplets. start with a simple minor and major chord and break it down like this:

Aminor
e----12p8-----------8
b----------10----10--
g--------------9------
d---------------------
a---------------------

then when you can play the shit out of that, expand on it

e----12p8----------------------------------8
b----------10---------------------------10---
g--------------9---------------------9-------
d-----------------10-------------10---------
a----------------------12-7h12-------------
e--------------------------------------------

I was going to say something along these lines. Breaking things down helps with any technique. Another technique-builder is playing everything on acoustic with heavy strings, or just playing on your clean channel. It will be hideous and make you want to quit playing, but when you are able to gain control in the most unpleasing circumstances, your success will be unrivaled.

Also, I taught Niccolai that sweep so you can all eat a dick!
