Hey Neil,
Can provide any type of exercise that would help to build right hand finger roll speed. I can do the finger roll but I don't seem to be able to build up any more speed.
Thanks

This is a very difficult technique to master and I plan to do a video lesson on this sometime. The main thing I tell students is don't think of it as 4 motions that you need to speed up. Think of it as 1 motion that needs to be progressively delayed.

Another part of the approach is to start with just your thumb and index finger and work on playing them slightly apart, so close that you are not even sure they are apart until you play them perfectly together to hear the difference.

Not sure if any text can help with this but give the delaying concept a try.

Neil
