Anki:
Reviewed yesterday's cards. Added additional 6th-3th string ascending cards. Add 3-6th descending tomorrow.

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

String Walking exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m quarter notes @ 145 bpm
String Walking exercise with m, l with quarter@ 90 bpm

Right-Hand Velocity (pg. 63) with sixteenth notes @ 105 bpm rest (! finally got it back to October level! :) & freestroke
l, m @ 80 bpm rest & free

Synchronization Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @ 90 bpm.

Rhythm Played Freddie Green lick to 100 bpm metronome on silent

Repertoire:

Samba Caribe
Practiced @ 50bpm
Measure 3 - getting a bit better it seems (hopefully it's not in my mind)
14 - thumb nail is still too short to get the bass down well, so that keeps messing me up a bit. I keep making mistakes in the jump and the chords in measure 15
Played 3 times with no mistakes in the above measures (just minor notes ommitted here and there, but there's nothing I can do about that)

Vocalized part B measures 1-4.

Recorded Pica Pica & Estrellita
(it's been a while)


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.
