sweep excercises?

[shiggityshwa]

Anyone have any good sweep picking excercises? I'm trying to learn how to sweep pick and so far all I've been doing is this:

----5h8p5-5------------------------------------
---6--------6----------------------------------
-7------------7--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------


Which is pretty simple. I was hoping someone could put up some sweep excercises a little more complicated that I could practice.

Thats a cool m7 arp.

Depends on how many strings you want to do, but heres are a few common sweeping shapes.


E----------5h9p5-----------|------------5h8p5----------|------------------8h12p8--------------------|
B-------5----------5-------|---------5----------5------|-------------10------------10---------------|
G----6---------------6-----|------5---------------5----|----------9---------------------9-----------|
D-7---------------------7--|---7---------------------7-|------10--------------------------10--------|
A--------------------------|---------------------------|---12----------------------------------12---|
E--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|


E----------------9h12p9----------------|
B------------10-----------10------------|
G---------9--------------------9---------|
D-----11-------------------------11-----|
A-12---------------------------------12-|
E-----------------------------------------|



These are a few major and minor shapes. They're all based on A. So the first is A, the second and third are Am, and the last is A again.
