Comfortably Numb PD3

This week I am setting myself the challenge of the learning the first lead guitar solo.
The solo uses notes from the B minor pentatonic scale with some major notes adding in.
The notes in the B minor pentatonic scale are B,D,E,F# and A.
I am going to the learn the whole of this guitar solo but break it into parts whilst learning it. This solo is only short so I will learn it all in one day.
Here are the tabs for tis solo:

The main I need to work on is the fast bit played on the G string uses hammer ons and pull of on the 7th, 9th and 11th frets of the guitar. I will practise these bits slowly to build up speed.
I will give myself around two hours to learn this solo as it is in the style of playing i am used to playing so it shouldn't take me to long to learn however i want to make sure i am articulating each note right and playing it so it sounds like the original. For this reasons i will also practise along with the original track.
This part is important to learn as it is a very iconic part of the song that everyone remembers and it shows of Dave Gilmour's guitar talent and I want to do justice to this piece.
