that seriously just made me cry. now that i see its impossible for you to learn alternate picking because you know sweeping, i feel its impossible for me to learn sweeping because of my alternate picking.

maybe its just me cause sweeping has the same hand movements as chording, and i never devoted time in my life to learn chords. maybe my hand would be more comforable sweeping if i did more chords. but im more the solo type.
