Congratulations nitropickinnut. Like I have always said - "Practice, practice, practice." But of course you have to add 1 more thing - practice the RIGHT things. Thanks for your support! :-)

I don't remember the exact videos or papers because it was a long time ago I watched instructional stuff, but check out George Bellas, he has plenty of instructional material on sweep picking. Frank Gambale is another badass sweeper also.

Jason Becker's music is always nice to study and it will give you great sweeping practice.
