Thanks for the background info. I suggest you work through the Acoustic courses. They contain a lot of practical skills & ideas to improve your knowledge & playing techniques.

Start on level 1. Some of the material might be below or at your skill level. So, go forward until you find something that challenges you & start working there!

There are plenty of other standalone collections & tutorials that can help dive deeper into specific topics. For example, this tutorial on embellishing basic open chords.

I teach a whole series on triads & inversions that can help open up the entire fretboard. I teach it on electric, but the ideas are fully applicable to acoustic. And they will definitely give your fingers a workout while expanding your knowlegde of chords & fretboard layout.

Learning arrangements for solo guitar is always a great way to build your skills & repertoire.
