Hi all,
I have returned to Justin Guitar to start learning from the beginning again.
I don’t seem to be able to add the practice session to MY Practice Assistant in my dashboard.
Can anyone give me some help.

Hi Ken
If you are following the Garde lessons go to the lesson in the Grade usually called ‘Practice Routine’ or similar or the last lesson above the Notes for the course, this is the easiest way to get going.
You can then go to the routine and modify it
To create one from scratch, first create items, then a Routine and add the items to it, then to use an item make it active, watching this video from Justin will help.

Nice to meet you Ken and as I thought you will get some good advice from this community, nice to have you here enjoy cheers HEC
Hey Ken.
Well, there are 2 different things you have practice Routines, which is a large grouping. Then you have practice items that go within a routine.
Here is an example of my different Practice Routines, that I have made and used during my time here at Justins.
You can add a new one with the button at the very bottom.
If you want to change Practice routines you press the green add button and it will move it to the current active position. Once there you will be able to make changes and use it for your Dailys.
To add a compleatly new item to you Routine (say you want to make a basic chord arpeggiated excersize), you need to make a new practice item first. Then add it to you your routine. Here is how.
First look at the top and you will see the plus Items button. Select that.
your list wont be long yet like mine. But this shows a list of all the practice items that are avalible. If the practice item you want is not already done. Then Scroll to the bottom where you will see
Add New Item.
Select that.
Now a new box will come up where you can fill in information about the pratice excersize you want to work on.
Hit save.
Great you just made a practice excersize.
Now very important, you need to actually add it to your current practice Routine.
So select the Routines button at the top again to make sure the routine you want to add the excersize to is open. Then select the
Blue pencil button. This will open a list of the excercises with check boxes next to them. These are all the excersizes that are possible to add. Any routines that are cheaked will be part of the current practice routine. Scroll down and cheak mark the excersize you just made. It will be added.
Make sure you save after. The open your practice and take a look. It should be there. 
When your ready to start just hit the play button at the top.
It may seem like a lot but its not really. It take seconds ince you have it figured out. Also Justin makes things very convenient by having a way to add full practice sessions at the end of each section with 2 clicks of a button.
I personally love the practice assistant and Really appreciate the avalibility of it to us for free.
