Ok, so that worked technically, but the HTML I entered was left in as literal text!

So, let's try that again. This time, without the markup!

Here's hoping (again)!

Felt a bit better at getting an Advanced rating on ET13, but it is something of an old favourite - so I suppose my fingers haven't forgotten how to do that one !!

Warm Up - 32 - Intermediate - 37 reps

Co-ordination - 23 - Intermediate - 8 reps

Ear Training - 25 - Intermediate - 22 reps

Guitar used : Mexican Strat

Notes :
Having not practiced properly for as long as I have, I shouldn't really complain about slipping back to intermediate for all exercises - especially since I would up with a couple that needed long stretches - but all the same - grrrrrrr ! Back to practicing properly, regularly !!

Workout Mon 23/3

Warm Up - 1 - advanced (75 reps)

Co-ordination - 1 - advanced (22 reps)

Ear Training - 3 - advanced (22 reps)

Guitar used - Mexican Strat

Notes:
Found it very hard to believe I got advanced On ET3, but checked the figures a couple of times! Very hard work for my left pinky, which began to rebel after a while. Feels like a bit of a come-down to bring the metronome down from 180BPM for WU1 to 100BPM for ET3, but hey - if that's what you've got to do...

Workout Thu 19/3

Warm Up - 17 - advanced (76 reps)

Co-ordination - 23 - intermediate (9 reps)

Ear Training - 8 - advanced (32 reps)

Guitar used - Mexican Strat

Notes:
Not bad tonight. Spirited effort at old pal CO23 resulted in a couple of near misses on Advanced rating (threshold is 11 reps) but never quite making it. Not to worry, a sight better and easier than last night's effort, that's for sure.
