Task 25 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL0GaJcOR5s
That's right, disciples ! You are having a go at a lick that I uploaded for the Penta-Shred thread ! Don't worry, the other guys are getting a harder lick !!
This is a common phrase that is found within rock, blues, metal.. in fact you could probably fit it into most styles of music !
Pay particular attention to the picking pattern. It's designed to be easy to play. I start on a Down stroke, then I play 2 consecutive U strokes with a sweeping motion and then pull off to the last note.
At the end is a tricky little bend on the 12th fret. Bend up a whole tone, then drop it a semitone and then a semitone again until you've brought it back down to it's non bent state. The bend after that is played with the index finger !!
Here's tab and Gpro for you too:

Have fun with this one !!
Deadline is next Friday 20th July ! (Wow, already ??)
Hi Ben - Gee I need to pay more attention. I played this lick picking ever note until I thought I'd better just check it out to make sure I'm playing it right and surprise surprise there is the legato so I had another go. Confession I've just lost some skin of the side of my left index finger so the last note I had to use my ring finger. I had another attempt faster but I don't think my first bends are a tone. Note this doesn't mean it's great.
90 bpm

p.s just noted what you wrote about 2 upstrokes hmm I missed that. Feels easier too.
Hi, I never practiced any type of sweep picking before
so it took a couple days just to get my right hand to cooperate.
This take is only at 70 bpm and I can see this will take quite a bit of practice to get it sounding good and fast.
Hopefully I'm on the right path with it though.
