Having had a fraught week, little has been done since I last wrote. Today, however was productive., and fingers are sore once more!!!!

• I am beginning to understand the way barre chords work, and can now name the chords using the E shape.
• I can name the notes on all the frets on the low E and B strings - in English and using the French Solfège - still not quite sure about reading them on the music stave, but I guess that will come.
• Am beginning to discover different tonal qualities on the guitar depending where I actually play - so I have begun trying to interpret a classical piece in a more musical way.
• Managed to re-chord 'My Grandfathers' Clock' in a better key for my voice. Wow!!!!

Vocal work hasn't had much of a look in for a while, but I will try and remedy that during the coming week. Let's hope I achieve a more regular and consistent  for work-out!
