It's friggin' on-point bro'.
You could take any of that as a run in a rockin' solo and it'd be like a session muso played it.

ah you are too kind man, lots of work to be done ahead. gonna focus on getting the 16th notes cleaner/faster and then need to get sweeping up to this speed, but that's easier said than done.
beyond that, actual composition where I merge these concepts. I'm glad I'm not a pro of any sort because I honestly don't think I could do the things some of our professional friends do on command all day every day!
sincere thanks for taking the time to listen and comment

Just avoid those fucking Boomer bends.
Like my good friend Jesse Ventura said….
“Nothing but a bunch of slack jawed faggots around here. Alternate picking at speed will make you a sexual Tyrannosaurus…just like me”

To shy to post a clip of me butchering an average 120 bpm run but I'd like to get the tab for that lick and start working on it.

I can do you one better, here's Paul walking through it!
9:45 is the start point for that lick but that's the whole intense rock 1 video so grab as many as you want!!

That'd be cool! That also explains why this reminded me of a PG kind of run...
Ages ago, I made a bunch of backing tracks for Technical Difficulties, from 80 bpm up the proper 130. I'd work at one speed for a week or so, then bump it up 5 bpm. Eventually I got to where I could play it pretty cleanly around 115-120, but never could get near that 130 mark without the triplets getting ugly.

@Nashville Riff Co so I decided to let go any of my "shyness" and here is my very humble take. I called it "Day 1". I slowed down your clip and learned the up and down sequence you did. Lots of brain farts while learning and still not tight but best I could do today was 60 BPM. I decided to use this as a personal challenge and will try to work on it everyday and see how it goes.
