Three string diminished sweep yngwie style lick problem

Playing Technique
#1

Just like in the title. I think that my problem is in my picking strategy, but I am not sure. I’ve been using DDD hammer-on pull-off U, but I don’t think that it works at faster tempos. I have been practicing this for several weeks now and currently I am stuck at 85bpm sixtuplets. What are your thoughts on it? Here’s the lick:

If it should be strictly Yngwie style then there should be no hammer-on. So, DDD, U on high E, pull-off on high E, U on B, start over. I think… :wink:

thanks for the reply. I’ll give it a go and see if it flows better :slight_smile:

Pre CtC I did this one wrong for years and it just never flowed right.

Also, in case it helps (I was curious myself, for a refresher) here is the man himself doing it. Queued up to the picking hand close up:
