There are some drills that can help with that. I do something called the “spider” drill. Start at the low E string, index finger on the 5th fret, middle on the 6th fret, ring on the 7th fret, and pinky on the 8th fret. Hold all the fingers down on the strings. Then take the index finger and move it down to the A string, 5th fret. keeping the index finger on the string, move each finger down separately to the lower string. Do this all the way to the high E, and then back up to the top. You can continue to move up the fretboard and back if you want more exercise. This has really helped me build finger coordination, and is a good warm up drill as well.
