That kid's pretty dang good!  I noticed he had some issues at the same part as myself.  That song is a nightmare.

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

It seems that this is simply an arpeggio on a minor scale so the the best thing that I was able to do is slow this song to 60-70 bpm (this song is about 100bpm), and concentrate on the sweep picking part and coordinate your fingers to release the note slightly after you pick it so it has not chord sound. 

I hope that answers your question.

Ya, I've always had issues with sweep picking.  Left hand hits the right frets, right hand not so great.

 It's slightly different in parts than the tab I've got, but that's great!  Thanks!

Ya, I've always had issues with sweep picking.  Left hand hits the right frets, right hand not so great.

You have the technique, but not the coordination.  This does take time, perhaps 2-6 weeks.  Do the arpaggio at 60 bpm hitting quarter notes.  Speed is a non-factor in this excercise.

Then after you hit your quarter notes, move up to 1/8 notes (hitting a note between pings).  Then, 1/16th notes.  Once you have the 1/16 notes down, then move to 8 bpm up in increments until you confortably get to 120 bpm.  This could take 4-8 weeks so be patient. 

Concentrate on accuracy and coordination.  Then you will be able to do this song start-end with no issues.
