No problem Mike... I added this to the Errata and also started a new
"Hot Revision" of the book... Here's the errata...

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

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

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

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

Thanks again Mike!

that the fretboard diagram at the top of page 25 is correct with
string 1 being at the top and string 6 being at the bottom of the
diagram. Was I correct in my prior email regarding the description of
the strings.
