Dear Payul and Leo,
I keep trying, on the guitar challenge forum page, to post a reply to your queries about my thirds and tenths practice, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I'll try again here:
These are exercises given to me by my teacher.
They are a base note and a treble note that many tones apart down the scales. Sometimes I play them base and treble together (thumb and index), sometimes the treble a fraction of a second after the base, sometimes as base and tremolo on the treble.

For example:
base string 4 (fret 4), treble string 1 (fret 2)
5 (4), 1 (0)
5 (2), 2 (3)
5 (0), 2 (2)
6 (3), 2 (0)

then
5 (4), 1 (0)
5 (2), 2 (3)
5 (0), 2 (2)
6 (3), 2 (0)
6 (2), 3 (3), ending with the chord 6 (2), 5 (4), 4 (4), 3 (3) [2nd & 1st strings not sounded]

Then try going backup the scale -- which I find hard!

My day 4:
scales, thirds and tenths about 15 mins
Sevillanas falsetas in different keys for about 30 mins
Alegrias and Soleares falsetas for about 20 mins
a Tangos intro for about 10 mins
