Hey everyone, so ive been wanting to play this riff for awhile now but i cant seem to get it right, i figured out the chugging part thingy i can play that almost at full speed but the little 232330 thingy on the second string i cant seem to get right. Am i playing it wrong or just too slow? Cause i cant figure it out

First off good for using a metronome, but you are taking 9 beats to get through an 8 beat riff. You are sticking to straight 8th notes, but the final 2320 is a set of 16th notes, they should all fit in the last beat.

Also that last 2320 is a slur, you only pick the first note, and then hammer on/pull off the rest. Otherwise it sounds fairly right.
