Sam Bell: shows Tosin Abasi's Hybrid/Sweep Picking Technique

Tosin posted an awesome video today of him practising an etude for a new technique that uses a mix of hybrid and sweep picking. Many of us may have seen guitarists such as Guthrie Govan, Tom Quayle and Brett Garsed using this technique to play smooth legato runs. Marshall Harrision even nicknamed the technique "Swybrid Picking". However, Tosin, always cutting a new path in unique guitar sounds is using a similar technique to play harp like arpeggios.

This video is a breakdown on the technique that I figured from his new video, i may be completely wrong, however it does create a similar sound. I hope this helps someone. I can't wait to hear what Tosin does with this technique on his upcoming material.
