Notice how I had to change the A-Minor scale to an A-Minor harmonic in order to fit the diminished
triad within it.
Practice with a decent amount of speed
Keep focusing on the angle of your pick, moving your arm and fixating your hand
when you do the sweep. Then perform the sweep at a decent enough speed for your
to develop some flow. It's very hard to practice sweep picking at a super slow pace,
simply because a sweep is one even motion - and it's very hard to perform one
even motion very slowly . It naturally gets very uneven when you do it slow. Just
like there's a limit to how slow you can sweep with a broom and do it evenly. At some
point the resistance from the floor will mess up your act.

Synchronisation & accuracy
It's very easy to "fake" sweep picking. And that's alright if it sounds great! But when
you are practicing, it's important to work on precision. When you are performing I
suggest you do everything to engage your audience. But practice is about getting
better and more accurate and I suggest you listen intensely for any lack of
synchronisation between your left and right hand. The more times you perform the
sweep perfectly at a slow pace (But not too slow) the more likely it is that you will
play with precision at higher speed levels.
