Hey all, I have been playing guitar for a while now and i notice that i am a really sloppy player. When ever I try to do solos and the like, it just sounds bad. For example when i try to play legatos and i move from string to string once i let go of my index finger to switch strings the string it was previously on would ring and more or less ruin the flow. That generally is my problem and i also sometimes hit open strings, and I hope I'm doing something wrong or have bad techniques, and not that its because my fingers are "fat".

I will (and have) started practicing some exercises slower and working on getting a nice sound. Anyway does anyone here have any tips on playing clean, or anything in general to keep in mind so as not to go back to playing sloppy? I think that I did try to play faster than I really can, and hopefully going back and learning it at a slower rate will help. Practice Doesn't Make Perfect, Perfect Practice Makes Perfect.
