Most important is to strecth your fingers on both hands VERY IMPORTANT
Trills very imporant too.start with ur index finger for 60 sec,then middle finger 60 sec,I think u get the point , dont forget to use ur pinky in the same way.as u know the pinky is ur weakest so work hard on that.good luck.btw you dont need allot of pressure when fretting a note,or playing scales.hope this helps .
