IMHO, the above trill exercise is one of the best exercises for strengthening the fingers (for me at least).

I find that for myself, the trill exercise give faster/better result (finger strengthening wise) than doing the diatonic scales runs. Its one of my fav.

I also notice some improvement in my speed ( Im a slowcoach when comes to speed )& hitting notes more cleanly after Ive started doing that type of exercise.

btw, thanks crazychris for the info on Billy Sheehan. Learn something new today
