Hi Dre,

Benoit is right - lots of practice, and your fingers will learn the moves they need to learn. But also, you might take on a simple warm-up regimen aimed directly at the types of skills you mentioned (smoothness of motion, etc.)

This is a series of exercise I teach to all my "real world" students, and I use them faithfully myself as a warm-up to every practice session and performance. Perhaps it would be a good fit for you too.
