There is a human tendency to work on what we are fairly good at, and ignore what we are weakest at. It very quickly improved my accuracy and speed on backwards rolls. So I started doing that exercise using backward rolls, thus drilling a discovered weakness. Then do it again moving 2 frets at a time, then 3, etc). I often use Paul Franklin's exercise for bar movement (if you search, you will find it, but basically, you start open, or fret one, then move the bar up 1 fret, play a chord of triplet, move another, up and down the neck. I discovered that while I can play a forward roll blazingly fast, I suck at backwards rolls played at a quick triplet speed. I am currently playing with a local band that is forming, and one of the songs required a backwards roll on the intro (the band leader wanted the into like on the record).
