Starting on the eighth fret, you are going to pluck the G string, then pull on the A string, then pluck the G string again. Then you go to the seventh fret, pluck the G string, then pull on the A string, then pluck the G string again. Move up to the fifth, you do the same thing. Pluck the G string, then pull back on the A string, then pluck the G string again. Then move up to the third fret and do the same thing.
