20 October 2008 - On page 27 in the third paragraph it states, 'What youare actually looking at is the "C" Aeolian mode.' It actually indicates the 'A'Aeolian mode.

On page 28 the third diagram indicates "TWO STEPS" between the F and G#where it should indicate "ONE & ONE HALF STEP".

Also on page 28, the fourth diagram needs the F#. The interval is showingsharp but the not does not.

24 May 2007 - On page 21 the 4th is missing on the left-hand fretboarddiagram on the 15th fret in pattern 2 of 5.

The bottom portion of the arrow does not extend to the end of the 4 of 5 scaleform. I think we get the idea however. The diagram is merely illustrating thatthe forms fit together.

The second paragraph of section 4.2 on page 21 is not clear in which stringand frets I am referencing. If you look at the root note on the sixth string 13thfret. The next root note is on the third string, 10th fret...

A special thank you to Erik Whiteman for finding these...

What are "Hot Revisions"? 18 May 2007 - "Hot Revisions" areavailable only through the BEAD Guitar(TM) Website. The ISBNversion that is available through other retailers is an older revisedversion and does not contain all the corrections found in the errata.The reason I am doing it this way is so that I can make the mostcurrent revisions available on demand. As soon as a revision needsto be made, the changes can be immediately available to the public.It can take weeks before revisions make it to the marketplace and"Hot Revisions" are the most economical way for me to make themavailable. There is a hefty revision fee if the ISBN version isrevised...

You may purchase the "HOT Revision" securely through Lulu.

The current Hot Revision addresses all the errata below...

18 May 2007 - On page 24 my description of the mini-patterns leads toconfusion. I am reading the diagrams from left to right so the order of stringsdescribed are not the actual string. The first paragraphs should read:

"In order to memorize the intervals we will break them down into three majorscale mini-patterns. The first pattern will be played on the sixth and fifthstring. The second pattern begins on the fourth string. The third pattern beginson the third string...

The second pattern is the same as the first but the starting note is on the fifthstring. Memorize the first pattern and you know the second..."

A special thank you to Mike Alverd for finding this error.

12 March 2007 - There is an error on page 25 in section 4.3 where it says:

"The scales are played in the following sequence from the 6th fret to the 1stfret:"It should say:

"The scales are played in the following sequence from the 6th string to the 1ststring:"


A special thank you to Lorenzo Childress for finding this error.

18 February 2007 - I found three additional errors that were not fixed inthe last revision as follows:

Onpage 24 in the third paragraph it says, "Once you feel comfortable with theMajor and Perfect intervals, practice flattening them to determine their Minorcounterparts."

This statement is incorrect. Flatten the Major interval to find the Minorcounterpart. A sharpened Perfect interval results in an Diminished sound. Aflattened Perfect results in an Augmented sound.

On page 37 the fourth and fifth diagrams are labeled incorrectly. The fourthdiagram is a Major 3rd. The fifth diagram is a Minor 3rd.

5 January 2007 - The current version (ISBN Version) is the revisedversion and the errors below have been corrected. Additionally, Youmay get the most current revision (HOT Revision) if you purchasesecurely through Lulu.

The HOT Revision is only available through Lulu and is the mostcurrent revision available.

Thereis an error on page 2 of The BEAD Method(TM) of Fretboard Mastery. Thekeyboard is labeled incorrectly. This is how the keyboard should appear.

A special thank you to Gary Warner for finding this error.

There are some corrections on page 30.

On scale 1 of 5

See that natural minor is on the third string as indicated by the diagram in thebook... However, the note indicated on the 1st string isincorrectly identified. The minor root note should be on the 2nd string 5th fret


in the diagram.

2 of 5

See that natural minor is on the second string... However, the note on the 1stand 6thstring are incorrectly identified. The minor root note should be on the 2ndstring only.

The diagrams do have error but the minor root note is correctly identified asexplained in thefollowing paragraph in the book. You are following the root note accross thesecond and third frets in the diagram.

Confusing terms

In several places in the book, while discussing the relative minor, I havereferred to it as being one and one half step up the neck.This is confusing because it is actually moving down one and one half step. So,to say one is moving up toward the headstock is not musically correct. I willfind a better way to communicate this concept in the second edition.


The word "Tablature" is misspelled as "Tableture" throughout the book.

On page 9... In the matrix for the flat keys... The B, E, A and D are missingthe flat symbol.

Thanks to Kenny Howell for finding this error.

On page 86, the diagram for C Aeolian is in the key of Eb not C...
