  Really neat and yes they go right into practice.
  
  However on video 2 and 4, just a clarification - you hammer on all notes (except when you tap), correct?

  Hey steel - I might occasionally throw in a pull off when the pinky and index is playing on the same string!

Play the exercise with strictly alternate picking, 16th notes (four notes per beat).

Mastering this kind of technique means a lot of challenges. The most obvious is: developping clean/controlled speed. In order to this it is exteremely important not to push youreslf to the higher speeds - as this will give you an uncontrolled technique. Instead practice the exercise at a tempo where you feel completely comfortable.

Once you have mastered this (usually takes a couple of years), you will find playing the lick to the metronome is one thing and playing it in an improvisation/solo is a whole other thing. You should therefore, from day one, try to improvise with the lick - even if you feel you are far from your "goal speed".
