This is a cool run in the key of A minor.  It's based on 16th notes using a "backstepping" pattern where you play down 4 notes in the scale (F E D C) and then jumps back 3 notes (to E) then plays down etc... This creates a 4 down, 3 back pattern.  This pattern can be applied to create much longer runs than the one I have used for this riff.  The resolution is pretty basic, reolving on the key tone (A).  The slight pause at the end of the run sets up the resolution sequence nicely by breaking the rhythmic pattern.  As always, try to go one step beyond by using this riff as a template and apply the ideas to your own phrasing.  Enjoy.
