I have only a very vague idea of what "sweep picking" is, just that shredders apparently do it. :mrgreen:

I usually just hold it by the skinny bit and bash the front of it where the 6 wires are against the front of the box where the sounds come out of. Is that not quite right?
That's how I've been doing it for years, but I do not recommend listening to my advice :)

At least he is not advising you of the advice you previously was advised about advicing his advice was in fact not the advice of him advising you about him advising not to take his advice. :?

Isn't sweep picking widdlywiddly stuff? Anything that Skwisgaar gives lessons on...

Well, me trying to learn is probably like teaching a deep sea tubeworm how to do brain surgery.
