    I'm having trouble trying to articulate this slurred triplet phrase.

    Any advice, appreciated, thanks?

    Five notes are a continuous slur.

    D-B is a pull off.
    Then B-C-C#-D are all hammered on. (Including a triplet)

    (The slurs are notated in the notation below.)

    Unless your frets are very, very low, you could just hammer on the B and slide into each note above it. On all of my guitars, I can slide through this kind of figure easily and get an evenly spaced triplet. For example, I do it often on the similar repeating figure that starts the release of Lullabye of the Leaves - and I play that C Db D Eb triplet+ using 3 note chords when I play it solo. I pick the first C, but the triplet comes out precisely with a little care.

    Dont think I have any advice. That’s how I’d play it. Pull off to be followed by hammers up to D.

    Playing it slowly and focusing on the accuracy is big for those for me, rather than trying to hammer hard to make the notes speak. But otherwise just getting familiar with it.
