Mistakenly filed wrong part of my nails - harder to play. Live and learn :) Also, the nail on my thumb cracked because I didn't file it regularly. Need to establish a schedule to file every 3 days...

Warm-up/Technique:

Finger-stretching exercise @ 84 bpm

String Walking exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m quarter notes @ 84 bpm
String Walking exercise with m, l with quarter@ 70 bpm

Right-Hand Velocity (pg. 63) Impossible to do with my short nails....

Synchronization Exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @ 75 bpm.

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

Repertoire:
Estrellita
Decided to go back to practicing performance as per p. 180 of The Musician's Way. Noticed that I had totally forgot the correct pre-performance procedure (October 13 post). And yet I had practiced this procedure in October quite frequently and was starting to get better.
--------Center---------Connect---------Count-----------Begin

Samba exercises
Track 2 - totally forgot the pattern
Track 3 - reviewed D69/A
Got stuck on analyzing Adiminished
