New to the forum - first few posts today...
Right now I'm trying to come up with a good driving groove on guitar to backup a fiddle tune called "Jackie Tar." It's a hornpipe, but neither the fiddler or mandolin player want it "hornpipey." I play more old-time and breaking out of that in favor of something more driving and celtic is a little challenge.

I also just discovered the Amazing Slow Downer. Sure wish I had it thirty years ago when I started playing. I spent a good chunk of last night making sure I had some tunes down on the fiddle. Great tool.

I'm working on a bunch of fingerpicking:

If I only had a Brain
Yankee Doodle Dixie
Bach:Sarabande
         Allemande
         Siciliano
Western- Alex De Grassi

I made a resolution this year to learn 2 new acoustic/classical solo tunes a month and polish up some of my favorites that I already know.

I'm working on my own arrangements of Ashokan Farewell, Planxty Irwin and Seebag, Seemor. Also, messing around with Laurence Juber's arrangements of Layla and Maybe I'm Amazed.

A lot of great tunes being played by everyone!

Right now I'm working on W. Coulter's version of Citi na gCumman - very nice celtic piece on the 12 string in DADGAD.

I received "The Irish DADGAD Guitar Book" by Sarah McQuaid for Christmas, so I have a lot of 12 string material ahead of me.

Keep on picking.
