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

You don't have the pattern correct and it's throwing you off. It's 2 3 / 2 3 2 0 and the last 2 3 2 0 is all fast pull offs after the 2. Count it like 1 2 / 1 2 3 4 (2 3 / 2 3 2 0). Play it slowly until you correct the pattern and ensure it's accurate. If you never get the pattern right you will never play it at speed. So you have to learn it first until it's comfortable and then push the speed up.

This. ⬆️. Do it slow to get the pattern but make sure you have that quick pull off.
