Guitar techniques

[Lupus]

I have been playing guitar for a couple of months and would like a few tips on the techniques i've learnt so i can improve.Does anyone have any tips or tricks for the following;

• Sweep picking
• Vibrato
• Tapping

I'm trying to make myself a better player, so i can learn the solo of "Symphony of Destruction"-Megadeth, everything up to solo has been learnt but the solo itself...eeh.Help would be REALLY appreciated :D

Sweep picking isn't used on that solo, but generally you should just try on getting the notes a clear as possible before speeding up for use in song.

If you want to focus on those indivudal things though, just look on youtube, there are a fair few good help videos out there ;P

Vibrato, I bend the string slightly as opposed to the traditional vibrato methods. As for tapping, you just have to practice it. But I find it easier if you use the middle finger of your plucking hand as well, and at least three notes in sequence. Which is why I find it quite easy to play Metallica's One solo. Still not learned sweep picking yet, but I'd start off slowly to begin with. Same with anything on guitar.

I can already sweep pick but not that fast yet, probably the thing i have practised most on guitar so far. -_-

Same, i just couldn't figure out how to use my hand to lever it,even though i've seen many youtube videos on the subject

Actually I used too, before I got into playing the drums. Then I started messing around the drum machines which got me into producing DnB
