I'm hoping that I can keep this going and that it will be an incentive for me to get further through this book thank I've ever got before!

That is the sort of methodical practice I don't do so much these days, but it can be useful. I've seen mention of the 'flying fingers' somewhere. Makes sense if you want to build speed. I also did Artistworks for a while with Paul Gilbert and having him check out your playing is quite something.
I notice on some of the exercises your right pinkie flicks out. I don't imaging it's an issue, but shows that fingers do work together. My right hand is very weak due to nerve damage, but I can still finger pick some tunes. Maybe some exercises would help build the strength.
I'm really enjoying it and hope I can build up some momentum to get to the challenging fun stuff and beyond. Plus it's making content, which I really want to do more of, and I haven't learned anything new on the guitar or even really played that much since lockdown.
Sorry to hear of your nerve damage Steve. It must be frustrating.
I have some guitar courses I ought to work on more. We can always learn something new.
The hand trouble is annoying. I have been experimenting with different picks to see what works. Can still play, but not for as long as before. I was happy I could get through a set at our festival gig last year.
