If the stretch above is too difficult, you can start on the higher note on the 5th string, which is the root of the chord.

===Minor Triad===
This is the most common minor shape from my experience.

If the stretch above is too difficult, you can start on the higher note on the 5th string, which is the root of the chord.

== Adding a Tap ==
You can extend the sweep further, and interrupt the change of direction longer by adding a tap. This also adds more legato, making the high notes more fluid. Depending on your picking strength and style, this may be wanted or unwanted.

Since you are picking with the index and thumb of the right hand, you'll have to use your middle or ring finger to tap. Be sure to keep muting the thick strings with your palm as you tap - this is a bit difficult to manage with the transition between picking and tapping because you wrist will turn, but you'll get it with some practice.
