Yes, it's possible. But, depending upon how much skill you bring to the table, it will take time. :)

These tutorials are aimed precisely at that technique: sequencing scale pattern in 3s & 4s on 2 adjacent strings, 3 notes per string.

This lesson in William Tell Overture has that pattern systemically in two different octaves. Great for practicing!

I do this sort of thing every day at least once up & down. Until you do this sort of thing systemically & consistently it is very difficult to just expect to be able to shred it out on demand. :)

You can pick every note, or pull-off, hammer-on when possible. Either way is fine. But, I encourage students to at least practice it by playing it slowly, in time while picking every note.

That is the best way to automate it. Best of success with it! Let us know how it goes!
