Thoughts:
Reviewed Arigatou sequence.

Anki:

Reviewed yesterday's cards (chord sequence deck also). Everything's becoming jumbled up in my brain (the descending intervals are particularly hard), so didn't add new cards

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

String Walking exercise
(Pumping Nylon pg. 37) with i,m quarter notes @ 160 bpm
String Walking exercise with m, l with quarter@ 120 bpm

Right-Hand Velocity (pg. 63) with sixteenth notes @ 105 bpm rest & free
l, m @ 92 bpm rest & free

Synchronization Exercise (Pumping Nylon pg. 65) with i,m sixteenth notes - @ 95 bpm rest


Repertoire:

Samba Caribe
Practiced @ 50bpm
Sounds good - played up to Part B measure 5.

Estrellita
Good feel.

Pica Pica
Noticed that I keep messing up Part A measures 10-15. Analyzed the fingerings and realized that I didn't think about this enough enough during the initial learning stages. Went back. Changed alot of the arpeggios to free stroke.

Focus on measure 15 tomorrow - this is one that I've been playing without thinking and the altered fingering in order to mute the E7 chord properly will take some time to get used to.

Na Gafieira Do Vidigal
Practiced Part B - getting the slide just right is not so easy.

Sightreading:
Delcamp Vol. II pg. 48
