Don't neglect bar hopping. Start barring the 3rd position/fret, move up
to 5th, back to 1st or 2nd, up to 6th and/or 7th; then supplement 1st
finger only (in order to learn to make all strings sound clearly) with
chord formations and scale patterns.
Advanced training- take any very simple piece that is in open
string/1st position and play the whole thing anywhere up the neck with 3
fingers, your 1st finger bar being the "nut".
Then move on to pub crawling.

Thanks for the suggestions! It looks like a major factor in
getting this down is - work on it! Hopefully it will take less time
than tuning has.
Chris--I'm not sure about all that water before barring: I like to
get there thirsty. And I'm generally good about tipping after barring,
espcially if I'm tipsy.
Thanks all,
Leonard
