Sweep Picking Exercises: 5 Jason Becker Licks

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.
