Today I felt a bit better and decided to finally return to the normal routines instead of playing just 1234s.
1234 exercise
With holding my pinky on the guitar body as the anchor point it’s still not very comfortable but I’m getting used to it.

Scales
I don’t know how, but my scales got worse even at the lower speed… Will practice them more to get rid of this inconsistency.
Major scales
16th notes @ 80 bpm
Minor scales
16th notes @ 80 bpm
Ear training
10 intervals, baby! I’m getting really good at this.
