thanks for the posts guys, I am self taught and it helps alot for you guys to keep me on the right track. I tried to get up to speed on those 1-2-3-4 excersises and I got it pretty fast up and the neck. I am used to doing these kind of excersises and I got this one up to about 160 BPM with the metronome. BUT! SRV does get fast but his technuque revolves around alot of bending and hammer ons/offs. I just cant get my brain to get my fingers to move as fast as my pick hand. Does anyone have any excersises that involve using slightly more complex finger techniques that can get me a start on how to get the multiple coordination between hands like SRV?
