And don't forget this humongous resource of melodic patterns (or sequences) for developing "melodic freedom." (It really is a GREAT site.) Pick a pattern a day, or per week, and improve your fingers and ears for a loooooong time.

I've recently discovered something about my picking technique. My pick strokes are too large. By practicing slowly and using a book called Right Hand Development for Jazz Guitar by Renard Hoover.
I've always thought I was using my elbow when I picked but I've realized that instead it was that my forearm, wrist, and hand moved. The muscles in my elbow were not being used at all. After I figured this out and took smaller pick strokes I can play a little bit faster. All's I need is just a big more practice!

I'm still workin' on this shiz every day. It helps. Slow but sure...

Cool beans. I'm really trying to keep my damn pinky from leaving the neck when it is not playing a note. It's got a lazy mind of it's own. lol
