economiy picking. assign a finger to each fret. that's all to it i guess.

 

[clean_distortion]

hmm... aren't we supposed to do legato in this phrase, like hammer-ons and pulloffs? cos i think i can do it if it is economy picking. its the pulloffs and the strings jumps that i'm kinda having trouble with.

does any one have any advice or practice tips to help me increase my speed in order to play this type of phrases?

well for dat tab,

u muz follow the pattern,
'p' means it's a pull-off from the from
the previous note.
'h' means hammer on
the next note.

Yeah, this is just a very common type of pentatonic lick. It does require fret hand strength for the pull-offs however. Slow and precise repetition is the key to playing these types of things well.

yep u'r rite

Also when you are practicing hammer ons and pull offs, pay attention to keeping your fingers close to the strings.

practice to get used to it.
