Doh! Oh well, I can order some more if I get on with the first batch.
Here's my latest attempt at the 2-string sweeps. I've been trying to have a smooth a transition from the lowest swept note to the higher one, not always successfully. Please let me know what you think:
Doing awesome, man!
Cliff, I think it is now time to go learn 'Rising Force' by Uncle Yngwie, and keep working it until you can play with the recording. You have the tech pretty much down, time to go learn some music and get down to rocking! Please post it so we can see it, and learn from your post? Thanks for posting, man!

So, I first read that challenge and laughed. Then I started practicing and thought I'd download the tab to see how far off I am. And, yeah, that speed is friggin' impossible. And those octave shifts are brutal. But whatever, I was having a bit of a break for some fun. Maybe in another year I can get it clean.

Oh man, great job! Keep practicing it, and you'll get it! Sooner than a year, too I bet! Awesome post, very impressive to say the least!

Latest sweep picking vid:
I'd been neglecting to practice on the higher frets, and I think it shows. Also, I need to work more on getting the position shifts smoother. Last couple of days I'd decided to push the speed a bit (only half the speed of the Yngwie solo now...) but when I listen back I'm still not happy with the timing on the individual notes - it doesn't sound like each of the four is played for an equal time.
Please let me know what you think (I like to believe I'm improving a little.)
(Oh yeah, I'm using the Dava picks now which I got on Friday evening. So far I'm liking them.)

Nick you are slightly incorrect in your diatonic chords by one note.
The vii chord is not Dim5 and Dim7. A Dim7 would be a double flat 7 (or equivalent to a 6th)
the actual vi chord as a 4 note chord is not a diminished chord but a minor7b5 (also called HALF Diminished)
and the formula is - 1 b3 b5 b7 no bb7 (or 6).

Uderoche: (I'm not sure if it has been addressed yet) On the picking hand, are you always doing a constant U-D-D pattern throughout? Or do you stop doing the upstroke after the first one?
EDIT: I know when it comes to sweeping there's a certain point where paying attention to pickstrokes becomes trivial. I'm trying to figure out the right hand mechanics of what you're doing when you play them quickly.

Yes. For this particular permutation (of which there are many...I just chose this particular one at random) the pattern is Upstroke-pulloff-Down-Down
I definitely don't think it's trivial to focus on the pick strokes! It's very important. That's why I feel this is a good pattern to start with. Because, generally speaking, the biggest problem people have with the sweep picking is turning the pick around and going in the opposite direction. The down-down-UP-pulloff and then back to down-down...this is a problem area...the upstroke and then back into the down-down "sweep" part.
Yngwie, Blackmore, Uli Roth, and most of the neo-classical shred guys make heavy use of this type of thing. How you move the pick can be changed...I don't know if there is a "best" way, but the strokes remain the same.
It can be played so fast that it almost starts to sound like triplets and it's difficult to tell exactly what the pick is doing.
In my example it is constantly Up-pulloff-Down-down-up-pulloff-down-down
You don't have to use scalpel picking to do it. In fact, most people don't I would say. Pebber showed me the technique and it seemed to fit well with sweeping because you don't have to move your arm and wrist as much...although with some of the larger 5 and 6 string shapes you often have to move your hand more.
Yngwie uses this type of picking for sweeping as well as the late, great jazz legend Howard Roberts, where I believe Pebber learned the technique along with Eric Johnson...the so called "circle picking" or scalpel picking.
I would experiment with various ways of moving the pick however, the strokes are the same and the muting is crucial. At high speeds it will sound like a blur of notes but you don't want it to sound like a strummed chord.
Also, that upstroke is your "marker" note...Frakh has talked about marker notes before. Focus on that upstroke and accent it...give it a little extra pick. This will help you to stay on track.

Not much actual video footage has survived of Howard Roberts but here is a clip. You can see scalpel picking being used extensively to sweep arpeggios. In the 80's, everyone was in awe of Eric Johnson using this technique and this is where he learned it. Pebber was also taking lessons from Howard around that time. Pebber passes on this knowledge and I found it very useful FIRST in UNLOCKING the pickhand thumb...and then in helping articulate things. Very useful. Also, jazz guys never called it "sweep picking" as that term didn't really come around until Yngwie. It was glissando picking.
Anyway, here is HR

Thanks for these videos ursin its helped me alot I haven't bothered with sweep picking for a while I used to try doing all 6 strings & never really be that good at it but breaking up in to 2 strings then 3,4,5,6 makes it alot easier. Heres a short video on where I am up to with it.
Awesome! Great job! Now, I would suggest taking that and working it with the metronome. This will get you faster. Very nice! Keep pushing forward with the metronome! You are on your way.
More to come so stay tuned.
