..what i mean is that no you'll get confused and uncomfortable at first,but when you've "mastered" an excercise reverse picking it can give you inspirations and challenges for your own stuff.

I can't really give much advice on technique as i do what i do and a lot of it is technically wrong _ I would say firstly try stretching both arms and shaking/stretching your wrists/hands - not violently obviously - out to relax them as this does seem to help with most techniques- basic but it works.

try also slowing down and NOT trying to play fast, first of all - this sucks to do but will help you. Try seeing/hearing how two notes fit and when you can do an excercise turn (for example) a hammer on into a slur (etc etc) just to notice the change.

Slowing exercises down and splitting up licks or phrases helps me a lot, when i bother to do it- don't be like me
play more correctly, like they say if you cant do it slow you wont be able to do it fast. Good luck :)
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..

hey man, you're looking for ways to build technique and stuff right? alright... i've done a lot of that in years past... what you need to do is just go in your room, crank up the radio, or an album that's particulary good, (some hendrix or something is usually good for this, or anything that isn't really fast tempo if possible) and just improv (play on the scale it's in) for long periods of time. It'll probibly sound terrible starting off, depending on how good you are already... BUT--- that's how you get good, you'll naturally (if you're anything like me) just stop playing certain things that your ear says sounds bad, and as for the good little things you do, you will play those more and more, it can even develop your style, so be careful not to listen to exclusively one artist or you could possibly end up like some of the other guys out there who sound just like their favorite artist(that's bad, by the way)
well, i'm not sure if this is gunna help you at all man, i'm not even sure if this is what you asked for. well, anyway God bless!
