Hi - i've been playing guitar for the better part of a decade, and I've progressed nicely in many ways, done a lot of solo studies and things through GuitarTricks, but one thing that constantly challenges me is descending pentatonic runs - not necessarily fast ones either -

Specifically, I mean things like the closing solo in Comfortably Numb, that first descending pentatonic lick, https://youtu.be/GqzeJpn-5I8?t=34...

when i was a much less experienced player, I rushed through this and started playing it fast before I had it under my fingers, and as such deeply ingrained it wrong.

Looking for advice on fixing a lick you've played wrong a bunch, and also just general advice on learning pentatonic runs...

Thanks!
