Sorry about the large amount of thread postings. :)

Anyways, I just wanted to know some of your advice on sweeping.

I've been starting with just basic practice stuff on all 6 strings.

Doing like:

e|---------------------7----5---------------------------
B|-----------------6------------6-----------------------
G|-------------5---------------------7--------------------
D|---------7------------------------------5---------------
A|-----6----------------------------------------6----------
E|-5--------------------------------------------------7----

I've gotten to play this cleanly and getting it up to a pretty good tempo. What should I be more concetrated on, my left hand or right hand? Should I worry about hitting the notes or keeping a smooth sweep with my right? I know I should be trying to hit the notes but I don't want to build a bad habit with my right.

Thanks in advance.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
