I have been video recording my hands and paying close attention to my playing technique and a main take-away has been what I believe is excessive movement of my right hand. I have always used thumb and middle finger for playing except for 3 note chords. I have begun work on using my index, middle, and thumb more and notice a marked decrease in hand movement across the strings. Right now I am of the opinion it improves accuracy as well as speed and tone.
I have to admit though, old habits die hard and slow.
