So when you play fast things, what do you have the most trouble with? Keeping speed with your fingers and the position, or picking the right strings at the right time and speed?
Me, I usually mess up with my picking hand. Sometimes with my fretting hand cause I mess up the positions.
How about you?

Most of my mistakes are with my fretting hand, but I do occasionally hit the the sixth string if I'm doing some tremelo on strings five and below. I may be bringing it up alot lately but my new guitar seems alot easier to play on, and transitions are easier to excecute.

So are there exercises to help one's picking hand aside from just simply practicing?
Try a chromatic scale playing triplets on each string, going up and down, with alternative picking on each string, that means if you pick primarily pick down on the E string, then your first note on the A string you will pick up. I know it's not precise, you'd have to see it to know what i mean, it's an exercise from my guitar teacher.
Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. I didn't know that was an exercise though. I've been doing that for some time now just without the triplets and without using a scale but I'll add that in thanks a lot. Oh yeah one more question, why a chromatic scale?, and which one would you recommend.

Well, first of all the chromatic scale is sure to be a good exercise to all your fingers on the fretting hand. Once you get the hang of playing it starting with your index finger, you start with your middle finger excluding your index if you know what i mean. I dont know the name for the chromatic scale i use, i start on the low E string, 5th fret, end up on the high E string 10th fret, scaling back down to the 5th, i'll ask my teacher what name its given at my next lesson

I normally mess up on my picking hand, fast triplets are hard when they are 200BPM! lol

My fretting hand doing me the most troubles, it just can't keep up with my picking speed. It's awfully annoying when it's messing my solos so I have to keep it pretty low

When I play covers on bass, I don't have much accuracy on my fretting hand but when I play my own stuff I do it right 'cause I wrote the shit, right?

The main issue I have is picking and fretting in unison to make a clean sound. Obviously it happens more when I play fast, but even happens the odd time when I'm playing something very simple at a very slow speed.  I've started practicing scales with metronome, which I'm hoping will help.

Is it fret buzz? Sometimes if you fret it too high on the fret, it won't press down all the way and it will end up buzzing. Scales and a metronome will always help! They've really improved my playing since I started.
Lately I've been using Dunlop Jazz III's as my picks. They're short and stubby and I like them better for more precise playing, but I keep dropping the damn things. I guess I'm not used to them yet.
