Advanced Picking Economy 2: Sweeping Major Triads in 3rd Position


Sweep picking means hitting a sting one time, while retaining up or down movements across strings.
Sweeping is usually thought of a way to gain speed, but it also easier.
If you don't have a bass player, in soloing it should be thought of as traveling to and from roots.
This sweep pattern will be a lick in the key of G Ionian. It will start on G and end on G.
This is the notes of 3rd position.

The next 4 charts are to be combined into a lick.
These are the notes of the triads you will be using.
Start with G at the 8th fret on a down stroke and travel to B on a down stroke.

Now on the G triad is too difficult to finger, so stop at a Gmaj dyad.
A dyad is a two note chord.
Now to G and hit the dyad, G and B, with a single downstroke.

Once you learn the lick, don't forget to give it some rhythm.
