Hello Bob,

   I've been looking for a way to understand the guitar fretboard to
help me learn to play with some level of skill. Your method looks
great. Thanks for putting up the preview. It made me decide to buy it.

   The book is not available from Lulu right now and Amazon has a note
on their listing that says they only have one copy left in stock. I
just wanted to know if you know whether Amazon's copy is one of the
newly revised ones? I'd, of course, rather have a revised copy. I also
understand that you may have absolutely no way of knowing that. I just
thought I'd ask you and find out.

   I'm looking forward to getting your book and finally understanding
what I'm trying to play on the guitar. I'm excited to be a member of
the group and I'm ready to learn.

   Thank you.

P.S. Did you ever get around to making those videos you mentioned in an
early post from last year? I'd love to see them if you did. Thanks
again. And I hope you get everything worked out with your publisher.

I found three additional errors that were not fixed in the last
revision of "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery":<p>
On page 24 in the third paragraph it says, "Once you feel comfortable
with the Major and Perfect intervals, practice flattening them to
determine their Minor counterparts."<p>
This statement is incorrect. Flatten the Major interval to find the
Minor counterpart.  A flattened Perfect interval results in an
Augmented sound.<p>
On page 37 the fourth and fifth diagram are labeled incorrectly.  The
fourth diagram is a Major 3rd. The fourth diagram is a Minor 3rd.

Thanks,

Bob Dietz ?;O)

Well with a little dickering I was able to come to a reasonable
solution with Lulu and bring the price down at Amazon. I'm taking a
hit for it but I think it's in everyone's best interest (that is if
anyone is interested). The title is now $17.96 at both Lulu and soon
at Amazon. It may take up to six weeks for the price to change at
Amazon. The price has been slightly raised at Lulu to make this work.
I know it's hard to understand but there are marketing calculations
that go behind this. It's a ballace of revenues between the
author(Myself), Lulu and third party vendors...

Well, what can I say? I've been trying to keep the price of the BEAD
Method down. The company that handles the printing has made a poor
marketing move and is forcing authors to offer their titles at retail
prices. This is very disturbing.

A major publisher is currently looking at the book and it is possible
that I will be signing the rights over to them. I'm also toying with
changing to another service to print the titles. This would be a last
ditch tactic since I would have to pay more upfront costs to get it
rolling. For now (Untill they jack the price up to 21.00) I suggest
you go to Amazon.com to purchase "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery).

I'll keep the group posted of any changes I make....

Thanks,

Bob Dietz

A special thank you to all of you for your help.  The current version
of "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery" is now the revised version
and the errors indicated in the Errata have been fixed. It may take up
to six weeks before the new version is available through vendors other
than Lulu.

Additionally, there is no guarantee that other vendors don't have the
old version in stock. Your are guaranteed the revised version if you
purchase securely through Lulu, and at a better price! Amazon will be
raising the price of the title.  I guess this is an attempt to squeeze
writers into using their sister company "Booksurge."  My response is
that I am lowering the cost of "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery"
through Lulu.

Again thank you all for making "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery"
such a success!

Merry Christmas!  Bob Dietz

Greetings and Merry Christmas to all of you! The revision of "The
BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery" is in the works. I'm waiting for
the proof to arrive before it is final. This might take a few weeks
(The Christmas mail season might be the cause of any delays).

The process is not working as I expected so copies are currently not
available through Lulu. You can still purchase the old version
through Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and other retailers. I will post the
progress here.

Thank all of you for making the BEAD Method a smashing success!

God's speed,

Bob Dietz ?;O)

Som,

I'm glad you enjoyed the preview.  I've made it available so that
people can gleam the beauty of the BEAD Method without having to pay
for it... I'm also sorry that you couldn't get a quicker delivery.
Lulu does have a 2nd day delivery option but it says "Will deliver by
25 December..." I'm guessing they don't trust the US Post Office to
get it to you in a timely manner.

There is plenty of information in the preview to keep you busy.  If
you practice learning to identify your sharp and flat notes using the
BEAD Method you will be ready by the time the book arrives to move
into further study.

I wish I could trust electronic books but I'm a techy by trade and I
can easily break just about any copy protection method if I wish.  I
can't afford to let my book get out on the internet. It's also more
helpfull to have a hard copy to make reference to.

Good luck with your study... Keep us posted on your progress.... That
goes for any of you.  I would like to hear more about your experiences
using the BEAD Method.

God's speed!

Bob Dietz ?;O)

Hello Robert, thanks for your book it just amazing & wonderful...(oops
i have not yet read the whole stuff, placed the order..but whatever I
have read in the preview is just brilliantly excellent).

I am from the Bay area, CA and have been only playing open chords. The
interest to learn the fretboard, found me glancing y'r preview
material by chance (google searches). In the quest to learn the
fretboad I was already set to buy a few other books/dvds which were
probably twice the price or more, but am glad i gave a few other
google searches to be introduced to your lovely book.

I am amazed and thankful for this book which has been written in such
simplistic language. It has depth and matter illustrated in a simple
fashion for the serious learner. There is no such other book there.

Such that this book reaches more & more people I hope that the same is
offered easily in stores such as barnes&noble & borders. I was
encouraged by the above stores to order thru Lulu as they were not
sure on time taken for orders to be routed via them & Lulu.

In my humble opinion & in this digital age the contents could also be
offered in digital fashion as a ebook instead of only by print. My
order will be arriving only by 25th Dec. There was no expedited option
offered by Lulu for faster delivery before 25th Dec which is the sad :
( part. Infact I am so intrigued by the book that I do not mind having
another set electronically.....but there is no method on Lulu of doing
it.

But guess there is still some stuff to catch up on the initial pages
before the book reaches via mail.

I am also looking forward to any other books you might be coming up
with & future revisions of the beadmethod. I have really not found
anything exceptional on unique strumming methods or flatpicking out
there other than the run of the mill stuff...and hope that some good
soul such as yourself comes up with something interesting in those
areas.

oooops....guys I am sorry for such a big post.....but guess my I
wanted to share my excitement about the book with you guys. I will be
recommending the book to friends.

thanks again
regards & best wishes

Hello Jack,

Thanks for writing this very funny satire... I hope people see it as
such.  I appreciate all the good things people are saying about my
book as well as the negative.  I'll accept any criticism as a positive
thing. I hope people will feel free to point out errors so that we can
all make "The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery" the very best it can
be.  All in all, the mistakes are minor.  I'm setting down this week
to make a revision of the book.  I expect to have this done by
November this year.

Why have I waited a whole year?  Well, the book has needed time for my
readers to identify any errors.  I expect I will continue to do this
each year until the book is nearly perfect.  Revisions are not free to
me.  I have to pay the printer a revision fee of about $100.00. So,
you can see why I haven't rushed to get the revision out.

For those of you I have identifed... You will be getting your free
copy of the revision sometime before January of next year.

Thank all of you for your support!

play a 1 - 4 - 5 combination (strictly key of G), I do seem to be
blessed with the ability to point out others short comings. Thanks for
listening, and thanks for writing a great method that allows my

Mita,

I just received a new copy from the printer. The error in your copy
must be an isolated issue with the printer since my copy has the Gb
indicated on the first string second fret.

Thank you for pointing out a potential error. Please let me know if
you find anything else.

I just placed a new link in the Beadguitar group which you might find
usefull.  The website contains lessons given to one of his students.
I highly recommend these lessons.  Randy Rhoads made good use of
theory in the body of his music. He also has a way of communicating
this theory in a usefull way.

Bob Dietz ?;O)

Mita,

I just received a new copy from the printer.  The error in your copy
must be an isolated issue with the printer since my copy has the Gb
indicated on the first string second fret.

Thank you for pointing out a potential error.  Please let me know if
you find anything else.

Thanks Mita... I'm looking at my copy and it has the Gb.  It must be a
problem at the printer (See the online copy).  I'll have to order a
new copy to see if this is an isolated problem.

Hi !
I'm looking at the second notation/tab that starts with F/1 Fret. The last tone
should have
a flat ( Gb ).

Thank you Mita... I'm looking at page 15.  Are we looking at the same
page?  The first fretboard diagram on page 15 is the open position.
I'm fairly sure that there is no Gb in the open position.  Could you
please describe the fret diagram you are looking at?

Thanks,

Hi there !
On page 15 there's a flat missing on the notes of the first fret diagram ( g
flat).

Robert, I just wanted to let you know that there is an error on the
flat scale matrix. In my book the B E A and D were all missing their
flat symbols next to the letter. The G and the C were fine.

Thank you Kenny,

I'll take a look... I'll have to order a copy from the publisher.  I'm
looking at the PDF preview version online and it seems to be missing
there.  Thanks for the note.

Hey Keith,
Thank you very much for the info. I'm just someone who has used the
BEAD guitar method, and found it to be tremendously helpful. I am not
associated with Robert Dietz, the author, or any aspect of the
content. Mr. Dietz has corresponded with me through emails, and taken
his personal time to help me with understanding key points of the
system. I am going to forward your comments directly to him so that he
has the opportunity to review and make corrections as you suggest. The
ukulele idea is a good one, and one that I would also enjoy. My
understanding is that Mr. Dietz is in the process of creating a follow-
up to his first BEAD publication that will include something he
calls "BEAD Analysis." This will take you one step closer to "purist,
music theory", which should be transferable to virtually any
instrument (as we are dealing with the same 7 notes - right?). I'm
glad that you checked out the site and are enjoying the wealth of free
information that Bob Dietz has made available there. I can tell you,
from my personal experience, that what you have seen thus far is only
the tip of the iceberg. As you delve deeper and deeper into the
concept of BEAD, new doors of opportunity are going to be opened for
you, regardless of your musical style. I promise you that as you
continue to study BEAD, you will see the guitar fretboard in a
completely new way. Literally, every time I pick up the book,
something new jumps off the page at me. No other tutorial has ever
done that for me. In the past, when I bump into something I don't
understand, I put the study away. Over the years, I've collected a ton
of guitar "methods." BEAD won't leave you in that situation. Not only
does it provide the basic information for you to practice, but it also
provides the "keys" that allow you to step back and work through the
more difficult concepts. We can all read instruction. Understanding
and internalizing concepts is the key to improvement. This, in my
opinion, is where BEAD is most impressive, and why I call it
a "simple, common-sense approach." Please note I did not
sat "easy", "instant", miracle" or any other adjective to suggest that
you won't have to apply both your head and your hands. You will be
moving into uncharted territory. I believe you'll enjoy the journey
and be a better guitarist (mentally and physically) for your effort.
Thanks so much for writing. I send my very best wishes.

Jack Jackson

I thought that this might be a good place to post errata. This one is
trivial, but I noticed that in the sample pdf "tablature" is spelled
"tableture" in several places. I think that the two common spellings
are tablature or tabulature.

I'll try to pay careful attention when going through the sample
chapters and deciding whether or not to buy a copy. It looks
interesting so far.

Here's a marketing suggestion - make a ukulele version. It seems that
the ukulele is growing in popularity and there aren't all that many
books available. I would bet that you could do this pretty quickly.

Regards,
Keith

Hey Bob,
This will be a short note of thanks. I've been "playing at playing"
all my life. I've tried every method/system I could find to try to
understand the guitar fretboard. Nothing helped until the BEAD
system. I could always walk up and down the neck and recite the
notes in order, but that never helped me to find the notes that I
needed at any given moment. It's kind of like saying, "what's the
12th letter of the alphabet?" I could walk up the alphabet (a-b-c-d-
etc.) until I got to the 12th letter, but otherwise couldn't tell
you what that letter was. I always felt that the secret to unlocking
the logic of the fretboard had more to do with the horizontal
relationship of notes on the fretboard than the vertical
relationship. BEAD is, for me, literally the key that unlocked the
door. I recently began studying BEAD from your website and was
instantly amazed. I was so impressed that you gave so much IMPORTANT
information away freely on the website, that I just had to buy the
book. It's on its way now from amazon.com, and I'm looking forward
to continuing my study. After all these years of frustration, I have
that excited feeling in the pit of my stomache that, "something is
happening here." I feel that I'm on the verge of that
elusive "breakthrough" that I always knew was out there, but was
always just out of my reach, until now. God bless you and thank you
for sharing your gift.
Playing for an audience of One,
Jack Jackson

Lulu has fixed the bugs and I am now able to post corrections in the
Errata page.  Please let me know if you find any further errors or
have any questions.

Bob Dietz ?:O)

Greetings!

Lulu made sweeping changes to their software last Thursday and I have
not been able to update the Errata page.  Now that I am able to make
access to the pages again it has been brought to my attention that
there is a bug in the editor that will remove all my url links on my
homepage. So, I won't be making any changes to the website until I am
sure there won't be any remifications.

Thanks for your patience...

Bob Dietz ?;O)

Due to the increased sales, I have been able to drop the price of "The
BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery."  Thank you all for making this book
such a great success!

Bob

Thanks Bill,

I see that your a Greatfull Dead fan. Thank you for buying my book!  I
hope to get feedback and publish a second edition of the BEAD
Method(TM) before I consider another book. I'm so thrilled by the wide
acceptance. I plan to reward people like you by creating the BEAD
Analysis(TM) series and videos which will be freely available here in
this group.

BEAD Analysis(TM) is simply the process I use to tear songs down. I
gleam information from the songs trying to determine the scale
patterns/modes used against the chord progressions.  I will also break
the songs down into managable pieces to study.  When you're finished
you will have an intimate understanding of the guitarists thinking.
You will additionaly learn how to pick out licks and add them into
your musical vocabulary.

I would appreciate it if you would go to Amazon and rate/comment my
book.  It's so new that there are none and people for some reason
value all the comments on that site.

If you chose to receive email posts you will get notices from me when
I begin to post new lessons.

Thank you again,

Bob,

Thanks for the great book.  I've been sharing it with all the
guitarists I know.  Are you planning on another?  The BEAD concept is
without a doubt the best way to learn the guitar but I've been playing
for some time now and was able to grasp most of the book with ease.

I'm amazed at how well I can navigate my fretboard.  It's definitely
helped my reading skill. It would be good to see something along the
same lines but with more complex subjects, kind of an advanced BEAD
book.  Well, I just wanted to encourage you and let you know you've
done a good thing.

Just what is BEAD Analysis?  Do you mean some kind of musical
analysis? It sounds like a good idea.  How would you implement this? I
look forward to seeing what you have to offer with this. You're a
great teacher.  Please get more stuff out there!
