Nice video, I might even dare to try some of the arpeggios myself. I havent played with that much distorsion for a while but it would be fun to practice up the speed again. Great playing as always Robert!

Awesome, Robert. Very thick tone coming from a Tele... I'm gonna have to look at those patterns close up so I can practice them. Good stuff, man!:DR :R :D

I love the sound of sweep arpeggios. I really wish I could do them halfway decently. Is there a "trick" when you are starting out?

The trick is to play them slowly at first, and listen for bad notes. If there are bad passages, focus on these and clean them up by adjusting your fingers. It can take a long time to get it right. I personally don't think it's worth the time... I'd rather play slower arpeggios with some cool phrasing instead. That's the jazz guy in me talking I think.
