I know he also sweep picked in Call Of Ktulu and Leper Messiah. I'm sure there's other solos where he sweep picks. He definitely knows how.

Well I suck at it but it's kind of like strumming while actually playing all the notes individually

The one on Call of Ktulu is barely a sweep though, it's really weird, and where as the ones on Leper Messiah are basically just appreggios only using 3 strings.

But he's been playing guitar about 30 years so I'm sure he knows how to sweep pick. I don't know, maybe he just doesn't like the sound of it.

I'm pretty sure he alternate picks the arpeggios on Leper Messiah. You can hear him sweep pick here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHS_bCVWkw8#t=4m25s

Hammett was best in his playing around the year 1991. Not in writing, playing.

QUOTE (thews @ 11/10/09 01:52 pm) Yeah, but the people asking for Kirk to be a peerless virtuoso are in the minority; most of the gripes are to do with the fact that he doesn't appear to have been maintaining his chops perhaps as well as he should. That's a big difference. Yeah, totally I agree but Kirk has achieved so much, I would probably lay off trying to be spot on at this point if I was him. Yeah that is a bit...

QUOTE (son of dismiss @ 11/11/09 02:43 am) He did it in a doodle the first time I saw them live. I really am kind of sick of the technique in most cases. Sweeps are great as a passing technique into other lines and phrases but the players who over use it are intolerable. For once we agree

QUOTE (lookralphsbak @ 11/10/09 12:44 am) Kirk over uses the 2 string arpeggios... He uses them in every solo he has written, While they always sounded good on the older solos, now a days they sound like crap since he over uses the wah wah while doing them. yeah.....I can see that, especially on the wah part....but yeah, like you said on some of those older solos, they were quite good.....
