How common is this simple shredding technique?

A few months after starting playing bass I figured out a stupid simple way to shred, consiting of plucking, hammering on a note, and doing a pulloff from this note. This above recording is my bass put through a preset that is supposed to emulate guitar, but I figured that this is a question to be asked in a guitar, not a bass subreddit. Any of you come up with this by yourselves? I never heard anything similar, or saw it in a guitar tab before.

I'm a bass player and dabble in metalcore, recently started a new project with a sick riff I made that works both as a riff and a lead, but got stuck trying to make more than an intro and chorus.

Today I made an attempt to connect the intro and the chorus better, and the end result was... An outro. It's still great, I finished it and moved it to the end of the tab (I use Songsterr for composing since I dont have a guitar and sold my drums).

This is the end result: https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/shitass-metalcore-tab-s4967539t0?via=share

Its basically a concept of a demo with an intro-chorus-outro structure, but I want to finish what I started. What I wanna know, is how do I make parts that click together and dont clash both rhythmically and sonically? Its easy for me to add a B to an A, but in this case I have A, C, and F and the biggest challenge is writing something that succeeds the previous part, while seamlessly leading into the next one. Any advice?
