Descending Minor Scale Pulloffs INTRO: This lick makes use of the "Pull Off" technique, where you use the fingers to "pull" off of the fretboard instead of picking every note. While you can pick every note in this lick, try to use as many pull offs as you can and as few pick strikes as possible. It is based around the E Minor Scale. Here is the tab. You can play this at any speed that feels comfortable. Remember, precision is more important than speed. As the saying goes, "Speed is simply a byproduct of precision". Make sure to use your pinky finger (especially below the 12th fret) if possible, as shown in the vid. You can use the first three fingers up high (above fret 12) if you want to play an octave up.

We are going to use the brit backing track for this so you can have a track to play over if you prefer it to a metronome. You can click on the mp3 file above to download it and use it in your DAW (Reaper/Nuendo/Logic/Etc.) so that you can play with the backing track and use the lick in a solo context. BTW: This should be much easier than #2. This is a very handy technique for making scales sound more musical as well as a bit more technical. It makes it sound like you are playing more notes than are actually being played due to the fact that we are repeating notes throughout the pattern. WARM UP LICK: Here is the same type of pattern done in the key of E but based around the 12th fret and using the full Minor Scale from High E string, all the way to the low E string. So through two octaves in one position. You can use this same pattern on any scale that you know. Also you can take just part of this pattern and use that as a lick.

Well here's my work in progress.
I took some liberties with it, as I created my own little backing to practice with for upping the speed. It seemed to fit triplets better than 8th notes so... Anyway I only got a fairly clean take at 65 bpm recorded but was managing a few runs around 70/75 bpm -------------------- My SoundCloud

I am really struggling with this. I can play it picking but my fingers get tangled when I try to do the pull offs and hammer ons
 I can very very slowly do it but the pinkie pulloffs on the D string hurt the back of my hand  I WILL CRACK IT THOUGH!!!!!!!!

After posting the message above I spent another 30 minutes on it and managed to do it very slowly with weak pulloffs on the D string. I must have been so tense though because I couldn't clench my fist and my neck was stiff all night.
Posterboy's hand looks so relaxed in his take, complete opposite of mine. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I really struggle with side saddle for some reason but I will try. Cheers.
It's getting the power in the pinkie to produce a solid pull off that's hard. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
