Current practices

A bit of a guitar update.

I'm working on learning Blackbird by The Beatles, per my teacher's instructions.
I'm working on learning Crosses by Jose Gonzalez, per my own asperations.  

I've got three C major scale forms down. I can play them at 100 bpm as of this afternoon actually. It was fairly amazed by that.

I have some barre chord changes I'm sounding horrible with. *smiles*

I have a few picking patterns, learned and created, I like to close out my practice with.

Someone kindly mentioned to me that I should get someone to lower the action on my guitar. I thought about that, I did, but I'd like to build up the strength in my hands as well. Low action nylon strings would be an effortless breeze. I do want to play fingerstyle, and the type of 'rambunctious' music I'd like to play would require the action I have now so that the strings are constantly buzzing. At least, that's what I think.

Thank you for the suggestion, Corgi. I'll definitely ask around for more advice on what I should do about my strings.
