Why it works

It's a fun little riff skipping between the 6th and 4th strings with a bunch of hammer-ons to create quite a disjointed, slightly chaotic texture.

It's a great exercise on muting, as your left hand will be moving a lot and needing to hammer-on doesn't leave a lot of your fingers left to mute the strings

— Tiago Martins, who wrote and played it
