![]() I can't figure out how to mute the string with the thumb, I end up getting unwanted harmonics and noise that I don't want, so what I do is I mute with the left fingers by leaving them on the previous string that was played, it works but is difficult to do even at slow speeds. I know I need to put in the hours and dedicate all my time to turn a weak point into a strong point, but I always procrastinate. My problem is I'm impatient and just move on to other techniques. I can sweep cleanly if I do it very slowly if I try to increase the speed just a little, it all goes downhill. ![]() Also, when you have to do finger rolling, which just adds to the difficulty and possible unwanted noise. The problem with this technique is not the fact that you have to "reek" the pick up and down, that's the easy part, the difficult part is the synchronization and especially muting the strings. ![]() I admit I never put in the hours because is kind of discouraging as progress is at a snail pace compared to other techniques. I swear it has to be the most difficult technique that exists on electric guitar. One technique I always sucked at and never saw much progress is sweep picking. I can do this even faster than what economy picking would allow me. I can pick 3 notes per string with pure alternate picking without any issues. I watched the videos of Troy Grady, who specializes in teaching proper picking technique for speed. But it might make sense to wear these in a room kept clean with regular vacuuming and dusting.I'm decent at alternate picking and my technique is correct for it. Scooting yourself along a wall or stretch-dancing your way into corners is also awkward. From our prior experience of owning a similar product, we found you can’t cover nearly enough ground to truly clean a floor before dust-mop slippers load up with debris. The bottom line? The shoes aren’t effective enough to replace a good dust mop, but they are fun to wear and will actually capture dust if you slide across the floor Risky Business–style. The bottoms of the shoes come off easily, and you can put them in the washer, like regular dust-mop pads. The ringlets are made of coral fleece (a heavier fabric than polar fleece) and chenille (a top choice for dust-mop material). We found that we loved shuffling around in the fluffy house shoes while picking up dust, and the floppy beige ringlets felt distinctly Muppet-like. While researching this guide, we discovered the Hanitom Lazy Mop Slippers and became obsessed. Also, the Casabella broom doesn’t come with a dustpan, but we have that covered. This broom doesn’t come with a warranty, but our long-term testers report that it’s still going strong. And the bristles are thinner than those on other brooms, so the head feels soft and pliable. The Casabella broom was also the most balanced, and its handle was the most comfortable to hold of any model we tested. ![]() This broom cleaned spills of cat litter, flour, rice, and diatomaceous earth (which we used to simulate dust particles of varying size) better than any other model we tested. The broom’s 2,548 bristles (by our count) are densely packed and distributed evenly, and they have flagged (split) tips, which excel at picking up fine, dusty debris. Since the 2014 version of this guide, Casabella has changed the model slightly (it hasn’t updated the online photos to reflect this), but the slightly smaller head isn’t any less powerful. After eight years as our top pick, the Casabella Wayclean Wide Angle Broom is still the single best sweeper we’ve tested, with a bristle quantity, design, texture, and density no other broom could match. ![]()
