..........honestly, I could reach really high tempos, but there was always those few missed notes you speak of, even at slower tempos. No amount of practice seemed to fix it - but I didn't play with string gauges like you suggest, and I tune standard. Did figure out the neck relief thing pretty early on, but that wasn't enough.



.......... To get the clacks consistent is near impossible because as very slight variation in force makes a huge variation in sound......



...........More force is needed to get the string to hit the frets the higher up the neck you are fretting. (especially for high strings).



...........Hammer on and pull-off notes not audible: Since your plucked notes are made much louder/more audible by your striking the string against the fretboard, hammers and pull-offs will not sound out as much. Really frustrating, and something I never found a solution for except for just plucking every note individually
