One of the best lessons. Contains everything. We need more of this. :-)

Hey Nigel, thanks a lot for your comment! I'm happy to welcome you to the inner circle today :) Sweep picking is a very challenging topic, you are right - I even recorded an entire masterclass for www.bernth.at on it! This technique has been a big focus for me over the years and I plan on featuring it some more very soon (always depending on the lesson votings on here - the community decides). You can find all sweeping lessons on Patreon under the tab 'Arpeggio/Sweep Picking Lessons', here's the direct link: https://www.patreon.com/bernth?filters[tag]=Arpeggio%2FSweeping%20Lessons

Hi Bernth, I’m new to Patreon, been hooked on #74 Lydian arpeggio (within E form C Lydian & D Mixolydian), I’ve had years of being stuck in a rut doing up & down (E form mode positions + caged system)* Problem for me is the doing the correct up / down pick motion. Couldn’t see any picking directions on tab but got most from video. Could you advise me on a sweeping lesson to concentrate on my picking technique as been stuck on sweeping for years now, I’m 51 now and still have a goal to tackle this. Anyway great to be a part of your community that’s something very special and unique.
