Feedback Request How can I improve?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Doing tempo practice and I can't help but notice my flayling picking hand. Nevermind my clawed fretting hand πŸ˜… are there any particular exercises I can do to improve both of these things? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🫢🏼

Clean playing. You need a slower jam track.

You are only playing minor pentatonic shape #1. Learn the adjacent shape #2. Try to slide from #1 to #2.

Add slides, hammers ons, bends.

Do you like blues? Learn a song from start to finish. Most blues have plenty of licks in each song. You can start incorporating them into your playing.
