| Start adding string skipping to the 24 patterns. Try making 1 be G-string, 2, D-string, 3 A-string, 4 E-string. Then reverse 1 E-string and so on. Do things like 1 and 3 on one string and 2 and 4 on another. Working not letting your fingers float above strings when not in use. Keep them low or on the string supporting the others. Do the 24 as hammer on's which will also make you focus on right and left hand string muting. Add stretches to the 24 by adding a empty fret between 1 finger and 2 finger, same with 3 and 4. Go up the neck and add both stretches. Do the 24 patterns up the neck as well as down totally different experience. Make up rhythms to do do the 24 in. Slap them with thumb on first note and plucks on the others. Add shifts to the 24 as you change strings shift positions. And you thought your were done.
Practicing is all about challenging yourself, once you got something down find ways to make it more challenging.
