Last night three 25 min sessions.  All DADGAD:
1. Exercises and scales.  Practiced all 6 four-finger patterns on open strings 1-4:
        1. p-i-m-a
       2. p-i-a-m
       3. p-m-i-a
        4. p-m-a-i
        5. p-a-i-m
       6. p-a-m-i
  As well as 3-octave scales in D major, and single-string right hand alternations: (i-m, i-a, m-a)
2. Merrily Kissed/Cunla  - not quite all the way through this one.  All but the last page.  This is an excellent exercise in hammer-on and not too complicated cross-string melody picking.
3. Kadourimdou - I usually start this one pretty slow and pick the tempo up as I warm up to all the stretches and position changes.  Over 25 minutes this means playing it through about 4 times.
Concluded with Bensusan stretching exercise descending from 12th and 11th frets.
I think I will post scale fingerings in DADGAD inspired by Segovia's scales at some point.
