Sweep Picking Exercises- 5 Yngwie Malmsteen Riffs to Boost Technique

Today we’re going to take a look at a few sweep picking ideas from Yngwie Malmsteen.  All of these are only 3 string sweeps so there is not any thing too big.  These are good for both the beginner sweeper to use to learn some basic 3 string shapes and for the expert who just wants to get some Yngwie under their fingers.

Blitzkrieg- Yngwie Malmsteen

Demon Driver- Yngwie Malmsteen

Presto Vivace- Yngwie Malmsteen

Liar- Yngwie Malmsteen

Fire and Ice- Yngwie Malmsteen

That should help with your sweep picking. If you still need work on alternate picking, check out my lesson on some John Petrucci alternate picking riffs.  If you have any question about sweep picking, please email me at mdguitarteacher@gmail.com
