Everything you hear when it comes to sweep picking is derived from the CAGED System. These 5 basic shapes get their name from the open position chords C, A, G, E and D. When you move these shapes further up the neck, you get the sweep picking shapes found in the music of Jason Becker, Marty Friedman and Yngwie Malmsteen.
I included 3 different exercises below to learn the CAGED System and take your sweeping to the next level.
