This is a funny riff especially to play at a gig but it helps me just warm up my picking hand because it can be so confusing to pick. ---
For the main part of the riff i use my index finger to pick the A and D strings and my middle finger for the G string only. Then for the other bits i use alternate fingering. ---
For the little fast bit that goes back into the main riff I pick the first note, then hammer on the 2nd note, and then pick the 3rd note. But when i do the hammer on, on the D string i also fret the G string too so i can quickly pick the 3rd note without any trouble. ---
It's really good to try and mute it all too.
