Ear Training - 13 - Advanced (35 reps @ 140 bpm)

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 !!

Workout - Sun 26/7

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.

Workout Wed 18/3

Warm Up - 23 - intermediate (63 reps)

Co-ordination - 29 - advanced (41 reps)

Ear Training - 13 - advanced (31 reps)

Guitar used - Mexican Strat

Notes:
Tough evening. Bad day at work meant lots of tension that never really cleared, making WU23 especially something of a trial. The other exercises weren't much better to be honest, but some generous limits got me Advanced ratings, albeit only just! A definite beer night tonight.

Workout Tue 17/3

Warm Up - 25 - intermediate (75 reps)

Co-ordination - 12 - advanced (23 reps)

Ear Training - 10 - advanced (26 reps)

Guitar used - Mexican Strat

Notes:
Hmmm - first time for a while missing Advanced on the Warm Up. First time for a while dropping the metronome down to 110BPM (for ET10) and it took a couple of goes to get anywhere with a couple of them. Overall, quite hard work tonight!
