[QUESTION] what exercises do you guys recommend?

For accuracy and speed, I have 2 that I remember to be Petrucci's excercises.

First one goes (Finger positions are 1st on 6th string (E), 2nd on 5th string (A), 3rd on 4th string (D) and 4th on 3rd string (G) )

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------15--------------15--------------15-----------------------| D|---------14--------------14--------------14----------------------------| A|-----13--------------13--------------12---------------------------------| E|-12--------------11--------------11-------------------------------------| Every time you are done playing 4, you just take a step back, one finger per set. You don't lift fingers up as you play. They stay down, pressing the fret you last played them. You can work this with metronome. Will eventually grant your hand flexibility.

Second is, (Finger positions are 1st on 6th string (E), 2nd on 5th string (A), 3rd on 4th string (D) and 4th on 3rd string (G) - Will change eventually. )

e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|----------------17---------------------------| D|-----------15--------------------------------| A|------14-------------------------------------| E|--12-----------------------------------------|

So this is where it gets tricky, you play the first set as it is. Then change the strings of second and third fingers. After the second set, you'll do it with first and fourth. Then you go 1 fret lower and repeat till you can't. Tabs go like (will write finger numbers near the frets)

e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|----------------17(4th)-------------------------------17(4th)| D|-----------15(3rd)--------------------------14(2nd)------| A|------14(2nd)---------------------15(3rd)----------------| E|--12(1st)----------------12(1st)-------------------------|

e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|----------------12(1st)-------------------------------12(1st)| D|-----------14(2nd)--------------------------15(3rd)------| A|------15(3nd)---------------------14(2nd)----------------| E|--17(4th)----------------17(1st)-------------------------| This one is going to hurt like hell after you get lower than 7th fret.

These gave me accuracy and flexibility, with a little more control over the neck. For speed, you'll just have to pick any exercise and play it with a metronome.
