Bob

Thank you for your help ! Yes I am definitely enjoying
the book. It does require some mental gymnastics as
you mentioned in the beginning of the book. I am
learning jazz guitar and your book helps me to
understand the fretboard better as far as recognizing
notes in the fretboard. I am at the part where there
are mini scales to memorize intervals.
Before that page there is a page where you have 2
fretboards on right and left of the page, one showing
roman numerals and another showing the notes. I
noticed that in one of the shapes, a note i think (IV,
sorry I cant remember which shape right now as I am at
work) I wonder if that is intentionally left out ?

Thanks

Ed
