Jason Becker lost his ability to play guitar at a very young age, but before he did he gave us some great licks. Here are a couple of great sweeping exercises from Mr. Becker.
Altitudes- Jason Becker
This part is at 3: 10 in the video. It’s very slow lick by sweeping standards so get the technique down.

Altitudes- Jason Becker
Here’s another one from earlier in the same song. This one starts at 2: 00
Perpetual Burn- Jason Becker
Serrana- Jason Becker
Next we have the very famous and very difficult Serrana arpeggios.
Concerto- Cacophony
Finally we have a very simple riff from Cacophony. It mixes sweep picking and alternate picking. It starts at 0: 52.
