WELL DONE!!! This one is all about the pull offs and you are clearly ok with doing pull offs at speed. it looks like you are very familiar with this technique which is a very good thing. This technique comes in very handy when crafting a solo. Being able to do pull offs instead of picking every single note can allow one to create a slippery fast passage on demand at nearly any speed without needing to pick each note. You've got this.

That's it!! You've got your picking and your pull offs working together. That's the point of this one. It's intended to get you used to picking now and then and using your left hand power for pulls offs so that you don't have to pick every note. This will allow great increases in speed without the need to slow down for pick strikes. So it's a great way to leverage your left hand power. You can use this technique on any scale/mode. Congrats you just...

That's it! It's a great way to run a minor scale. It makes the scale sound a bit more exotic for some reason. Works great during solo passages as well. Not to mention it makes the scale run seem much longer than it actually is. It takes the scale and makes it sound like you are playing far more notes than are being played because the notes get repeated. Guitar players can hear this of course, regular folks usually think it's just lots of notes
