Something really important when practicing is being able to ADAPT your hands and fingers to new limitations that may occur.
I mean, your technique is likely to NOT CHANGE unless you put the extra effort of being able to CHANGE the way you move your hands. I'm trying this new flamenco style picking and at first it was impossible for me but as I approached this new technique with full awareness and willing to STOP doing my normal picking, suddenly I start making room for the new technique slowly. And I haven't lost my previous technique. I can always switch easily. -------------------- Visit my:

All the ultra fast stuff you want to practice is being done, quite the opposite, on ultra low tempos. The goal is to stay on those tempos for some time until you acquire precision needed for going up.
In addition to that, usually players don't realize that it's a specific mental state of mind that enables you to practice so slowly. I like to experience it as a sort of meditation or relaxing, and this way I could go on for hours without stop. Some people just aren't capable of practicing slowly for long periods of time, they don't have patience for this.
