I'd like to add, that if you mess up, start over. It's a pain in the ass but it helps.

And don't limit it to 1 2 3 4; do 1 2 3, 1 3, 2 3, stuff like that. Mix it up.

Thats right. The trick is to keep the pace slow until you can play them perfectly...then speed it up until you mess up...at that point slow it back down just enough until you can play it perfectly...then speed it up again....you get the drift.

The different exercises do mix it up, but it does not hurt to improvise.

i've been noticing lately that my left hand does not hold me back at all. if i had someone else's right hand, i could play billies and warehouse by now, no problem. my right hand...it just won't calm down. lol. it just recently go acurate enough to play the stone, but it's frustrating sometimes, hitting those extra strings. :?
