i think the best exercise is to just learn stuff you want to play... i wanted to play the layla solo, i kept working on it until i was fast enough.

Thats good stuff if you use a pick, and hammer on the 1st and 3rd fret
Try to make the picking and the hammers almost indistingushable, thats one of the best excersizes u can do to improve picking and hammer ons
