Guitar B Minor: Sweep Picking

Video Transcript

"In this example I'm going to do a B minor lead and I'm going to incorporate sweet picking and mixing it with hammer ons and pull offs. With the backing tracks it will sound a bit like this. OK, what I did there was playing over B minor, F sharp minor progression. I started with a little subtle sweet picking and did a hammer on pull off, like that and then just played up the scale a little bit and mixing hammer ons with picking, just doing like every other note picked again, giving it a nice Spanish flavor and throw in a little accidental note for good measure. But you know, you can throw notes in there like that, their often called flatted notes where you playing, it's technically in the B minor scale. It would actually fall into the B harmonic minor scale. But there are little textures that might give it a romantic sound to your lead playing."
