That sounds a lot like the typical Paul Gilbert stuff. Paul does a lot of this kind of thing

--------7-8-10-8-7-------------7-8-10-8-7---7------------7--7-8-10---
-7-8-10------------10-8-7-8-10------------10-10-8-7-8-10-10----------

Where Paul Gilbert picks a great deal of his stuff, Buckethead might use a little more legato in his style. That stuff is often too fast to figure out by ear without playing it in slow mode. Good luck with that.

Picking something like that is not hard to build up a lot of speed but you have to go real slow. You go slow enough so that you can feel the nuances of each pick stroke. When you play fast, it should be EXACTLY the same as when you are playing it extremely slow. If you compensate for certain movements your speed will not be accurate. You will find yourself struggling constantly.

Sometimes you just have to move the metronome up 5bpm at a time. I know it is painstaking but shortcuts never take you to your ultimate goals.

Try picking the first note of each string legato style. When you got that down evenly on a metronome, start picking two notes per string and so on. The problems are most usually an upstroke so make sure your pick attack is very even on all the upstrokes.

Try this excercise in G Maj.

-5_7_8_7_5--5_8_5_7_5--5_7_8_7_5--5_8_5_7_5--------------------------
------------8-----------8-----------8-----------8-5_7_8_7_5---5_8_5_7_5
--------------------------------------------------------------7-----------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
--5------------------5-------------5-----
-7-7_5_4_5_7--4_5_7-7_5_4--4_5_7------
--------------7-------------7------------
-----------------------------------------

It is real Paul Gilbert'ish kind of stuff that mixes the legato with alternate picking between strings.
