Thumb Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 41) @ 65 bpm. Alternated betweeen rest and free strokes. Quite challenging.

I'm beginning to play the two pieces back-to-back. Still errors present, but now I'm practicing maintaining relaxation despite the errors.

Penderblast Blues
Twiddled E scale open and 2nd positions

Thoughts:
Need to find new easy pieces to add to my repertoire.
