Gary Moore Still Got the Blues fast pentatonic lick

Playing Technique
#1

Hi, I’m learning to play the Still Got the Blues (album version) end solo, and there is this blazing fast pentatonic lick I could use some help with. Here’s the part I’m talking about:

I believe it sounds like he picks every note

It doesn’t fall into the typical 2 note per string/downslant pentatonic picking pattern

Any advice on how to pick this?

Thanks!!

This is how the pros do it:

You can decide whether to alternate or sweep the picked notes. I do it with sweeping because it’s easier for me.
