Here is another set of exercises focused on pull-offs, hammer-ons, and good timing. I strongly recommend using a metronome for these exercises. Start at a very slow tempo initially, and as your timing improves, gradually increase the speed.

Each exercise consists of a legato section in triplets, utilizing the F Phrygian mode, followed by a brief E major chord response. In each subsequent exercise, the legato section remains the same but is extended by an additional triplet. This approach helps establish a solid foundation with a short legato phrase, allowing you to progressively build upon it in the following exercises.

Another tip: keep your third finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string and your second finger on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string throughout the exercise.
