He continues: "Another common mistake is to practice sweep picking arpeggios with a clean guitar tone most of the time. People think distortion is bad because it covers up your mistakes. However, the truth is just the opposite. Playing guitar with distortion amplifies your mistakes, so you know exactly what is wrong and what to work on to get better."

Hess also discusses the common occurrence of guitarists playing parts of an arpeggio faster or slower than other parts. This results in sweep picking that has poor timing and sounds sloppy overall. Hess proposes a solution for this in the form of a video demonstration.
