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

Repertoire:

Estrellita
Played with metronome @ 40.
Then played freely - mind wandering - made many small errors that would have made me really self-conscious in a concert environment
Chord jump in measure 10, etc. still problematic sometimes. Part B measure 12 also get the wrong fret sometimes.

Pica Pica
Practiced with metronome @ 70 bpm.

Samba Caribe
Studied Intro and Part A as per p. 42 of The Musician's Way. On pg. 49, Klickstein directs the player to execute the given section 3 times at the preliminary tempo without mistakes. This is real difficult! There are a couple of difficulties in Section A:
Measure 3 - it's hard to get this chord to sound good without getting other strings so fast after the arpeggio run-through
Measure 14 - I keep making mistakes in the jump and the chords in measure 15

I decreased the preliminary tempo to 50 bpm.
Though it's quite discouraging not being able to play this section perfectly 3 times, I can really feel that I'm attaining a certain level of musicianship as I'm practicing in the way Glickstein suggests. I think the key is to make this a marathon, not a spring, and maintain the practice schedule.
