Why I call this banjo style is because I´ve borrowed some techniques from 5-string banjo. In these examples I´m doing a hammer-on or pull-off on one string and at the same time I´m picking another string.
This can give a really flowing sound, almost like a banjo roll. In G.

A supercharged G-run.

A variation of the above run, perhaps more folky sounding. 2nd finger: 3rd fret, 6th string; 3rd finger does the pull-off, 1st finger plays the notes on the 2nd fret and the pinky does that last hammer-on.
