Sweep-picking

Sweep-picking is a guitar technique that involves playing one note per string, moving the picking hand in a smooth fashion, in a single up- or down-stroke (rather than using alternate picking) while lifting the fingers of the fret hand to dampen the note. Useful for very fast arpeggios . This technique was popularized by Frank Gambale[?] and Yngwie Malmsteen.
