Ole Lenny! Great compas. Rob, no matter what finger pattern you're working on here is something you can try. Put on a groovy solo compas track of any palo - ideally one with many variations to inspire you. Then improvise different rhythmic patterns slowly but keeping always the same finger order and always striving for perfect compas. Search for a rhythmic pattern that will start with a different finger each compas, repeating that a few times will ensure each finger is developing independence, you should aim to get the same tone no matter which finger starts the pattern. If you feel any stiffness then change technique for a while (arpegio, picado, pulgar, alzapua,...). Invent patterns, start slowly, but try to increase the number of rapid notes in succession within each pattern. Just practicing one technique alone for hours is a recipe for repetitive strain, so mix it up, get inventive, keep it fresh and keep exploring. Also, if you're getting tension think about your posture and adjust, or if that doesn't work get up and do some exercise ~ like walking to the fridge to get a beer.
