I mean, it's not that there's only single right fingering, it's all about what you think works best for you. If you still aren't sure, you may watch the videos of the musicians performing (for example, watching Paul Gilbert play that first Technical Difficulties lick and copying that ). But as I said, you might find some other finger placement that suits you better... (for example, I play Adrian's The Trooper main riff using a different fingering than him because it's easier for me)... My practice when learning new stuff is to try different finger placements, and use the one that I play best when I speed up You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Those are your only two options, so like Dinaga said, try both and see what's better for you! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You must choose the combination that works best for you. I would start with fingers 1 - 2 - 4 and then continue in the following position with fingers 1 - 3 - 4.

Take each row of notes and see how you feel best with them and then link the positions slowly, so that you may train your muscle memory I guess this is a good start.
