Dark Pull-off Pentatonic Run

How to Practice

1. 1Hold both fingers down before picking — the pull-off finger must already be in place.
2. 2Follow the string order: G (7→5), D (7→5), A (7→5), then back to D (7→5).
3. 3Pull the fretting finger sideways (toward the floor) to sound the lower note clearly.
4. 4Keep both notes equal in volume — the pulled note should ring as loud as the picked one.
5. 5Repeat the pattern continuously without stopping between cycles.

Tips & Techniques

• •Pre-plant both fingers before picking — don't place the pull-off finger after the pick.
• •Pull sideways, not straight off the string — this gives the lower note its volume.
• •Keep fingers close to the fretboard to minimise movement between strings.
• •The direction change at the bottom (A→D) is the trickiest part — isolate it if needed.
• •Once comfortable, combine with the Hammer-on Pentatonic Run for a full legato loop.
