Good question. Currently am working on "Never Been To Spain" - Three Dog Night (I believe) and "Two of us" - The Beatles. Also, I have tuned my Ovation to the DADGAD tuning and have been playing around with sort of a Celtic style. Joined a renaissance group and would like to start playing/performing at the occasional event in a year or so.

Little Wing and a fingerstyle arrangement of Michelle.
A bunch of stuff actually a couple easy Elvis songs my teacher gave me, Little Sister and Jailhouse rock ( I think these are kind of easy so I'm alittle embarrassed that my teacher is giving these to me) I guess he thinks I suck.
Plus I just burned a CD with about 20 songs that I play and I realized that the original version of Jenny 8675309 was tuned a half step up so I'm relearning that, although there really isn't much relearning except the short solo, as I learned it about a year ago.
Other than that just trying to work on my scales which I keep telling myself is the most important thing to do but the hardest for me since it's boring.

Strange Fire--Indigo Girls. Learning some alternate chord voicing and learning the solo. I'm also working on coming up with my own improv.
Finally, I'm working on a classical piece in B minor. Barre chords, barre chords, barre chords!
