cleanness of the left hand
Explanation:
From a technical point of view, he distinguishes himself for the exceptional cleanness, evenness and precision of his touch (you actually perceive every single note, in full, also in fast or difficult passages), joined to a round, dense and warm sound.

The observations recorded above suggest that Beethoven’s performances lacked the cleanness
achieved by his opponents and imply that he did not execute passages accurately.

The Taiwanese chorus may have been slightly light on the bass end and the German pronunciation perhaps not as perfect as we would expect from European choirs, but the homogeneity of sound, cleanness of intonation, precision of voicing and sheer musicianship more than compensated.

I think it is synonymous for 'precision'.

Asker: right hand co-ordination seems more correct.

disagree  Joel Schaefer: this is about executing a movement cleanly; string players don't talk about a sweeping movement

right hand accuracy


Explanation:
"I've realized, that I have a big problem with right hand accuracy, when using a pick, especially, when I play arpeggios and have to skip a string or a couple of stings. Sometimes, I hit the wrong string, hit two strings instead of one or even miss a string at all. On the other hand, when I use finger picking, the accuracy does not seem so bad, because each finger rests on separate string."
https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/2340/right-hand-ac...

"One of the most frustrating parts of learning the guitar is hearing that sound of extra strings ringing. You meant to hit the “A” string but you accidentally hit the “D” string. It really is infuriating. It’s important to recognize that this is a picking-hand problem. Your picking hand is not very accurate.
Possible Causes of Pick-Hand Inaccuracy"

"How to Improve Right-Hand Accuracy With Planting.
This technique is often used by classical and finger-style guitarists to create greater technical security, better accuracy, and more consistent tone."
http://www.seanbeavers.us/right-hand-planting/

"Right Hand Accuracy
A common problem with many guitarists is that their right hand accuracy is not very exact. Many guitarists that I observe tend to spend most of their time watching their left hand. What they don’t realise is that it is not the left hand so much, but the right hand that gives them the most trouble."
