mattburnside ***hole. Major ***hole. Apr 29, 2010 #2 I've got records of Chet Atkins sweep picking in the early '60s. Not sure how far back it goes in a rock/pop context.

Yngtchie Blacksteen Helper Apr 30, 2010 #6 Blackmore has been using that technique since the late '60s. Not terribly clean stuff, sure, but it's sweep picking nonetheless. And I do believe he was the first to use it in a hard rock context.

mosiddiqi The Curry Master Staff member Apr 30, 2010 #7 Ritchie Blackmore can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. Well, apart from some of his toupee choices in the 80's.

Phlat Phive First Position Strummer Apr 30, 2010 #8 Barney Kessel was sweep picking in the 40's and 50's, but admittedly in a messy way compared to today's standards.
