My drum teacher taught me a technique that applies to all instruments:

Use a metronome. Start off slow (~60-80 BPM). Play the song or the excersise. If you make more than two mistakes, lower the tempo by ten until you get it perfect. Then raise it in increments of ten, practicing until it's perfect.

Also, avoid effects when practicing, especially distortion/compression, as they can mask mistakes.

Agreed! But throw those effects on sometimes to rock out and give yourself a confidence boost. Hearing it sound really nice/cool will help keep that drive going to keep playing
