Check out Greek guitarist Theodore Ziras playing some cool sweep picking passages. Very Jason Beckerish. Anyone else into this guy?

Wow, he's insanely good. Very similar to Jason Becker style sweep patterns.

I think the thing about this guy is that he's not letting his ego get the better of him, and trying to sweep at an insane speed and therefore lose his articulation. There is always a solid tempo behind it.
Very smooth and clean.

Glad you like him guys, he's a great player. I think he's using some kind of damper if you look closely though. I've seen myself using a hair band at times, like a capo, when sweeping. Keeps everything nice and quiet especially at high gain levels.
Anyway free downloads available from this guy at:

Devilman, he used to be in a band called EuroForce but I am unsure if they are still going. You can download some Euroforce and a few of his solo tracks for free at the link I have posted earler in this topic.
