I've been playing for years, and I like to think I have a developed technique in different styles so my playing is pretty clean.
Typically when I practice licks, metronome exercises, etc, I've tried to keep my hand in one position. As a result, when it comes to grabbing a note across the fingerboard, I'm not very accurate. I might miss the note, or grab it with a different part of the finger, which sets me up for failure if I want to bend. This could be something like having my hand around the 2nd - 5th frets, but not grabbing a note on the 12th properly.
What advice would ya'll have on becoming more consistent here? I recently started forcing myself to move across the fretboard more when I transcribe music I like. Are there specific things to keep in mind, or is it just getting the hard work done?
Thank you!
