Here is a speed picking course that was published in the 80's. Its out of print so this is my arrangement (or what I can remember of it)
It was called something like: the 1-2-3 speed picking course using 1 pedal, 2 fingers and3 strings.

Also, I want to ad a little disclaimer. The youtube video is not monetized. I'm not making a dime by posting this course. The course that I learned some of these licks from is no longer available. I just wanted to share this with someone who may not have had access to it.

Nice video! I've been working on this lick for a while and have it pretty well under my fingers but I still don't really understand how or where to apply it in a practical manner.

If anyone can provide some insight on how it might fit into a tune or a ride I'd be much obliged!

It's fun to see how many ways we can use some of these licks!
We can use bits and pieces,
For example: from measure 1 to the middle of measure 2, that can be repeated on any pedals up position. Also the same concept can be used with the fifth and fourth strings, using the A pedal on the 5th string (Emmons setup)...so you are just moving that lick up a string and using strings 4 and 5 instead of strings 5 and 6.

Also from the middle of measure 5 to the end of measure 7 can be used in different scenarios...you can use it as a 4 or 5 chord lick.
