Anybody know of a good site for sweep picking exercises?

I'm into a sweep picking practicing phase and I'm doing pretty good on the ones I got, anyone know a good site with some exercises?

Thanks, I found some really cool stuff! Had to listen to some horrible tone to get it, but it's free so I'm not complaining!

Here are 3 different fingerings (the most common ones, I think) for playing major and minor arpeggios on 5 & 6 strings:

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
d = down picking
u = up picking

E-minor:

.....1...4...2..3...2..1...4...1..2.3..2.4..1.....finger
E---------------------7-h-12-p-7-------------------
B------------------8--------------8-----------------
G---------------9-------------------9---------------
D------------9------------------------9------------
A----7-h-10------------------------------10-7-----
E-------------------------------------------------
.....d.......d..d..d..d...u......u..u.u..u..d

Hammer the 3-7, tap the 12th fret and pull-off the 7-3:

.....4..2..1..3...1...4....4...1...3..1..2..4...........finger
E-----------------3-h-7-12-7-p-3-------------------------
B--------------5---------t---------5---------------------
G----------4-------------------------4-------------------
D-------5-------------------------------5----------------
A----7-------------------------------------7-------------
E-------------------------------------------------------
.....d..d..d...d..d................u.u..u..u


......1...4....3...3...1..1...1...1...1...3..3..4...1....finger
E-----------------------------12-------------------------
B-------------------------12-----12---------------------
G---------------------12-------------12-----------------
D-----------------14---------------------14-------------
A-------------14----------------------------14-----------
E----12-h-15------------------------------------15-12--
.....d........d....d...d...d..d..u...u...u..u...u..d


E-Major:

......1...4..3..3..3..1...4....1..3..3..3..4..1.......finger
E---------------------7-h-12-p-7---------------------
B------------------9--------------9------------------
G---------------9--------------------9---------------
D------------9--------------------------9------------
A----7-h-11-------------------------------11-7-----
E--------------------------------------------------


.....4..3..1..2..1...4....4...1...2.1..3...4.................
E----------------4-h-7-12-7-p-4--------------------------
B-------------5---------t---------5-----------------------
G----------4------------------------4--------------------
D-------6------------------------------6-----------------
A----7------------------------------------7--------------
E-------------------------------------------------------


......1...4...3....3...2...1...1...1...2...3...3...4..1....
E------------------------------12--------------------------
B--------------------------12-----12----------------------
G---------------------13--------------13------------------
D-----------------14----------------------14--------------
A-------------14------------------------------14----------
E----12-h-16--------------------------------------16-12--

Here's a nice exercise to get familiar with sweep picking on 3 strings:

d= down picking
u= up picking



-----3--2--1--4----1--2--3--2--1--4----1--2--3--finger
E|--------12-17-p-12----------12-17-p-12---------
B|-----13------------13----13-------------13------
G|--14------------------14-------------------14---
D|-------------------------------------------------
A|-------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------
......d...d...d..u..........u...d...d...d...u..... .....u...d




As you can see from those 5 & 6 string E-minor and E-major arpeggio shapes, Yngwie only plays the G, B and E parts of those.
