Todays goal

I am going to make an effort to learn how to read TAB guitar notation. It's not something I have done before, as my music education has been based on reading music! So I have printed off the lesson notes "How to read guitar tablature in 2 minutes"; Will report back later on how I got on!!!!

Had a great session today! My fingers are beginning to loosen up and reach the notes on the fret-board again. Spent a while on stretching exercises and then worked on two classical pieces. These are by no means perfect, and the fingering still causes problems, but oh it is so much better than a couple of weeks ago.

I think I am beginning to understand the tab notation too. Each line represents a string and the numbers represent the frets. I need some simple examples to practise with!

I also did some listening work on Fever. I think I have nearly got this right. Now I need to make it mine - not Peggy Lee's or Elvis's, good as they are, but Linda's!

To crown the day, we enjoyed a fantastic BBC Prom's concert on TV!
