Long Shred Guitar Scale Run in 12/8 (playing 6 notes per beat) Using Alternate Picking and Legato9/18/2020
This long scale run, perfect for shred guitar, basically plays 6 notes per beat. You can play 3 notes per beat while learning it to make things easier (aaaaand you definitely should)
A mix of alternate picking and legato is used here. The hardest part of this, for me, is the last line shown in the tabs below. Always a good idea to break things like this down into smaller pieces when you're learning it to makes things easier on yourself.

This was given to a guitar student to help improve their rhythm while performing hammer-ons. The first two beats of each bar has you picking each note to help you hear how the triplets need to be spaced when you start playing hammer-ons in beats three and four.

This ascending scale run covers a full octave on the high E string. It's in a 12/8 time signature, which is basically felt as playing triplets (3 notes per beat). This exercise is good for building endurance and hand synchronization.

This guitar riff splits each beat up into 6 equal parts. Every note is palm-muted.
The picking pattern for each beat is Down____Down, Up, Down____

This guitar exercise has you picking each string three time before moving to the next one. You are basically playing chromatically as you shift a similar finger pattern up and down the strings as you progress.

This triplet rhythm was given to a guitar student to test and challenge their ability with reading/playing triplet based rhythms.

This riff is in a 12/8 time signature which is basically playing triplets since you are playing 3 notes per metronome click. Everything is palm-muted except for the first note of each beat.

This triplet rhythm has you not playing on the down beats of two and three.
The count is 1na_na_na4__ 
Here is the Guitar Pro 6 tab for this lesson:
This particular triplet guitar rhythm has you not playing on the down beat of beats one, two, and three. You play a quarter note on the down beat of four to help make sure you are still in time with the metronome. This rhythm gets pretty tricky as you get faster.
