Don't worry about speed yet...concentrate on precision and you'll be much better off. (good job, BTW).
Yesterday, I saw a ten year old who'd make you sell all your instruments...we had a Bluegrass Pick-Nik and had a 'petting zoo' of instruments...I saw this youngster pick up a guitar and proceed to play a couple of complicated tunes flawlessly, then he went to the banjo and ripped it up...then to a mandolin and more ripping...then he started looking for a fiddle!

I felt so inadequate...

Nice.. Makes me want to get the old Mastertone out. Been a long time though, not sure I could manage any tunes.
