What common mistake causes guitar players to play sloppy sweep picking arpeggios?
Answer: Rushing through an arpeggio pattern that hasn’t been fully mastered by playing the highest pitched and lowest pitched notes well, and everything else in between unclean.
This happens because the highest and lowest notes are the easiest to hear, and the easiest to focus on while practicing.
The notes in between end up being played with sloppy technique causing them to bleed together or barely even get picked at all.
