Thanks. My method has been start slow. Really slow. 40, 50 or 60 bpm. Use a metronome. Get clean and smooth at at a slow speed and then start increasing speed 5 – 10 bpm at a time. About 4 months ago I got smarter and started keeping track of how fast I can go on each exercise. When I come back to one I always dial the speed back a bit and then work up again. Usually 10 bpm at a time. What has been most beneficial is to slow things down to a speed where I can play them clean and accurate before I try to go fast. That has been key for me.
