Many thanks!

On the guitar fretboard on p184 the 7th fret of the B string is labelled F and should be F#.

All this practicing has come in useful if I can recognise that!

This is taking a bit longer than I expected.  I'll start again from page 30 in the not too distant future.  BTW, I think the book's great.  It just seems a pity that for such a good and nicely produced book that the publisher couldn't have thrown in a few hours worth of copy editing and proof reading.

That’s all I’ve found on my first “once over” of the book.  Most of the points are very minor but I thought it would be best to mention every single thing that “jumped out” at me.  Please forgive me if you think I’ve overdone the nit-picking… but I just can’t help being a detail freak.

Peace,

PS
It’s a brilliant book and I’m now going back to the beginning to start learning properly.

Gudday,

I posted this earlier but it doesn't seem to have appeared so here it is again.

P. 141 the diagram for G has fingers 1 and 2 back to front

P.177 same problem with G (first G on second line)

P.178 CSus4   the A string is X'd out but has the 3rd finger down

P.179 D7 Sus4 fingers 1 and 2 back to front

The biggest mistakes seem to be on the Full Neck diagram on P. 184 which I see others have spotted. Unfotunately I didn't and tried learning it as it is...soon realised something was wrong but annoying all the same and would be good if you could come up with a downloadable PDF of a corrected page one could print out and just stick in over the present one as mine is a mess of scratching out and insertions...very confusing!

Otherwise very happy with the course although I did my left wrist and thumb in practicing too much so am now taking a break thus have time to nitpick the book!
