Hate to keep bugging you folks, but here's a riff:

|
|
|------------------------------14
|---------------14---15---18---
|12---15---17---
|

Doesn't it make more sense to play it:

|
|
|
|----------------14---15 etc?
|-----15---17---
|17---

If you play it the 2nd way though, your pick gets all tied up, and you couldn't pick once for each 3 notes going up the scale, forget what that's called. Is that a normal stretch? (12-15-17) and do you play it with the first, ring and pinky fingers? I tried it down an octave starting on the A on the E string. It's doable but quite the strech.
