This scale run kicks my arse! Basically, the B Locrian 3 Notes Per String scale/mode shape is what I'm using.
The 16th notes use a 3 note pattern because you end up hitting the same note twice in one beat. If you number the notes in each beat as 1, 2, 3, then the pattern would go 1, 3, 2, 1. After completing that pattern for the first beat, you go one note lower in key and repeat the 1, 3, 2, 1 descending pattern. This happens for 3 beats. On the fourth beat, a sextuplet (aka: 16th note triplet) ascending run occurs. Because you're bouncing all over the place, plus a very fast sextuplet burst, this particular scale run is VERY difficult for me to get going blazingly fast. ![]()

This was given to a guitar student to work on their legato technique while ascending up the notes in the key of A minor. Hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides all get used.

This guitar rhythm in a 3/4 time signature starts off by playing two 16th notes, then a 16th note rest a few times. The final bar changes things up with the some single notes.
The count for this is 1e-a2-na-ena|1e-a2-na-ena 1e-a2-na-ena|1ena2-na3-n-
