Try a chromatic excercise as follows:

D_________________5_6_7_8 etc...
A_________5_6_7_8________
E_5_6_7_8________________


Upwards and downwards again. and when changing the string do NOT lift your fingers off the lower string.
So you play 5_6_7_8 and LEAVE the fingers on the strings!

only lift the index-finger and finger the first note of the second string while the other 3 fingers still fret the 6_7_8 on the lower string. Then the middle-finger, ring-finger and pinkie. Economy! Move the fingers ONLY when necessary - avoid overexaggerated movements. Try not to lift any of your fingers more than 1 or 2 mm off a string.
