The Easy Way to Master Sweep Picking and Become a Virtuoso Lead Guitarist
Online Shred Guitar Course By Solo Artist, Guitar Virtuoso, & YouTuber: Alfred Potter
Does This Sound Like You?
Shred Struggler
You’ve got the speed and chops, but when it comes to clean sweeps, everything turns into a sloppy blur. Your arpeggios sound more like a car crash than a classical composition.
Technique Confusion
You’ve watched 100 YouTube videos, but they all contradict each other. One says “use the wrist,” another says “use the elbow,” and now you’re just stuck and frustrated.
No Target Practice
You try to practice sweeps, but you don’t know what to play or how to measure progress. You jump between patterns without any real improvement.
Speed Plateau
You’re stuck at the same tempo and can’t break through. It feels like your fingers just won’t move any faster, and you don’t know how to fix it.

What If You Could Finally Sweep Pick Cleanly, Confidently, and Fast?

That’s exactly what Sweep Picking Master is built for.
After years of struggle and breakthrough, Alfred Potter has developed a unique and proven methodology that gets results even if you’ve failed with sweep picking before.
No fluff. No confusion. Just a clear roadmap from sloppy to shreddy.

What’s Really Holding Your Playing Back?
“The most-asked questions (and frustrations) that I’ve gotten over the years, and even to this day, is about sweep picking.
Sweep picking is something that I started early, at the age of 19. And trust me, I had my share of challenges with this technique as well.
But after many years of dedicated practice, I’ve discovered some methods that can help you overcome those frustrations and truly master this awesome technique.
