Anki:
Reviewed yesterday's cards and entered 6-4th string ascending intervals. Thinking about notes and the guitar fretboard in this way opens up new possibilities in making music, because it helps to get away from being limited by chord structures.

Warm-up/Technique:
Finger-stretching exercise @ 100 bpm

String Walking exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m quarter notes @ 120 bpm
String Walking exercise with m, l with quarter@ 75 bpm

Right-Hand Velocity (pg. 63) with sixteenth notes @ 95 bpm rest stroke
@95 bpm free stroke
l, m @ 75 bpm rest & free

Synchronization Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @85 bpm.

Repertoire:

Estrellita

Played with metronome @ 40. Still challenging, so decided to search online for resources to improve rhythm. Didn't find anything new, so just practiced Freddie Green-style chord progression from All Blues for Jazz Guitar (Jim Ferguson) with metronome on silent.

Pica Pica
Practiced with metronome @ 55 bpm. Rhythm was way off in measure 29-31, so need to keep at that.

Samba Caribe
Played part at 55 bpm. Speed on sheet music is 85 bpm, but that's way too fast for me at this point. I'll shoot for 75 bpm.
