Specifically left hand exercises that will work on
dexterity
speed
strength
Some chromatic exercises, etc. Like a workout routine for the fingers.
I have a hand exerciser/gripper I'm currently using while at the computer. I really want to improve my technique.
thanks

I use these excercises for speed, strength and dexterity.

Or you can get your hands on the Guitar World Issue that has Steve Vai's 30 hour workout in it. I believe it was the one with Jimmy PAge and Joe Perry on the cover. Lots of great exercises in there even if you don't want to shred.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

I recommend checking out Jamie Andreas' books at guitarprinciples.com . Good stuff!
If you want a sample, Jamie Andreas has written a few articles on ibreathemusic.com.

I have Jayme's book, Principles of Correct Practice and think its full of useful stuff. I think its worth having.
James Andreas is a real technician. A lot of eye opening techniques.
Very cool. The "heavy arm, firm finger" works.
