Left Hand Problems, Need help Options

[Matt23]

Well the story starts like this , from when i joined GMC, until a week ago i was working on my alternate picking because id never done it until i got a guitar teacher which was a bit before i joined GMC (and a a year after i started playing). Anyway a lot of alternate picking things that i have practiced I quite quickly got up to a certain speed and then they never got faster how ever much i practiced. A week ago i found the problem.

I found i couldn't play these things any faster with just my left hand, so i realised my left hand was holding me back not my picking.

So what i'm asking is does anyone know any magic exercises so im not doomed to do trills all day long, cos i don't seem to be making much prgress with them either but i might in time. Also if i do have to do trills, is there any point doing them with a metronome if they're just to increase my left hand speed?

Thanks for any help in advance

Matt
