Advanced: Picking Economy - Sweep Picking 1

Picking Economy - Sweep Picking 1
The letters mark the spots of the 7 note scale for this exercise.
Usually the first lesson of gaining speed when soloing is to use
alternate picking. However, that will slow you for this excerise.
	5th fret		7th fret		9th fret
thinnest string	X		Z	U		W
	Y		T	V		H
thickest string
First, I do recommend starting with alternate picking anyway.
Then move on to sweeps:
Play string 5 to 6 from Y to X at the fifth fret using a single down stroke.
Play string 5 to 6 to 5 from Y to X to Y using 2 strokes
down on Y to X, and then an upstroke back to Y.
Now start to use these patterns in parts while soloing in the larger pattern.
The larger pattern is the one marked on the fretboard image.
For instance, Y to X to Y, and then T to Z then V to U to V as a lick.
