hi marty
i am currently spending alot of my time trying to play sweep picking, my guitar tutor gave me the tab book for youthanasia and told me to have a look and the solo tab looks really hard to play are there any good sweep picking licks that i could practice. p.s would you ever tour england

There is no 'sweep picking' on Youthanasia. Note to everyone who is on this topic-get over sweep picking! There is no use for it in the real world! It takes a lot of work to get down, with no payoff. Spend that effort learning how to play MELODIES.
