You have to slow down to speed up.

Back in my high school years, I played professional guitar. I was eager to play all the fast solos but could not do it. My guitar teacher taught me then to take it very slowly, make sure that I completely understood each movement, and only then speed up.

When I did just that, the progress skyrocketed.

Once I was completely aware of all the tiny movements of each finger, speeding up was effortless.
