Harder today for some reason.....

Synchronization Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @ 75 bpm. (Also slower than yesterday. When I played at 85 bpm like yesterday, it was hard maintaining 16th-notes only)

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

Arpeggio Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 38) Various drills @ 85 bpm

Rythm Exercise Played blues block chord progression (All Blues for Jazz Guitar pg. 18) @100 silent

Repertoire:
Pica-Pica and Estrellita
Played back-to-back. Sounds very good. A couple of minor errors. I noticed that I'm beginning to get comfortable with letting go of the technique and imaging and focusing on the story behind the composition. This is when the music comes out. Of course, there's still a dilemma, because it's hard for my brain to both image and focus on the meaning, which means there's a risk of an unexpected error.

Here's a video of take 2.
