I found a lot of improvement in my guitar practicing by reading "Fundamentals of Piano Practice." The author made it available for free at http://pianopractice.org/ http://pianopractice.org/ As I play fingerstyle I study hands separated by separating the bass and melody as thumb and fingers, then move to hands together. I also analyze the piece to find the hardest as well as the most repetitive measures, work those out and pick up the rest of the piece. You also work these measures with transitions, by playing the preceding measure or half measure leading in and out of the measure you're practicing. I typically don't get a lot of time to practice so I will pick up my guitar at random and play measures that I'm working on.
