'''Sweep picking''' is a [[guitar picking|guitar-playing technique]]. When sweep picking, the guitarist plays single [[musical note|notes]] on consecutive strings with a 'sweeping' motion of the [[plectrum|pick]], while using the [[fingerboard|fretting]] hand to produce a specific series of notes that are fast and fluid in sound. Both hands essentially perform an integral motion in unison to achieve the desired effect.
