Pull off and Rolling questions

Hi, I'm pretty new to guitar and have two technique questions, hope I can explain it OK, my English is not the best.

 

First, when pulling off should you already have the lower note fretted when you pick the higher note, or do you bring the finger down on the lower note as you are pulling off? Is there anywhere I can find a good example of how to do this?

 

Second, when playing arpeggios I can do the rolling of the finger in this direction:

-------12-----

----12--------

-12-----------

 

but how do you do it going back the other way like this:

-12----------

----12-------

-------12----

 

I can't do it so it sounds smooth.

 

Thanks for your help, great board.

Same way you'd roll it down, only in reverse... i.e bar it and as you sweep/alt pick upwards peel the finger off each string to stop it ringing. If it doesn't sound smooth you probably just need to slow it down. Go slowly until you get the feel for it and then speed up.
