@chris Chris, Just bought the workbook last week. Ran into the lesson 12 stopping point also. Still working with this book?

Thanks for the update Chris, glad you got it figured out in the end. As soon as I get this book I’ll take a look anyway, I’m curious now

The lesson 12 fiasco was really a lack of explanation. The language telling you what to do in the lesson does not tell you to go back to pages 21 and 22 and use the examples to get you started so that you dont get confused by the alphabet rule and the major scale formula. without this information there are to many unexplainable mistakes while still having enough of the lesson correct. This caused me a ton of frustration. After using single string major scales “exactly” in order to do this excersise it became apperent that this was the solution. This is a great book and still gets a 5 out of 5 stars from me.

Turns out I didn’t get this book, I got one of his others, chord tone soloing, so I’ll do an update on that soon. I’ve added this one to my wishlist so I’ll get it on my next order in a week or two, I’ll see if I can answer your question for you.

Hi Chris, thanks for commenting. I bought some more books a few months ago (and some more yesterday!) and I think this may have been among them, I’ve not had time to look through them yet. I’ll have a look for it tomorrow and let you know what I think, maybe I can answer your questions.

I bought this book because I had absolutly no clue about the workings and patterns of the fretboard. While working though this book I fell in love with it at first, then came the same thing that made me put down every other book I have used to try learn music. excercise #12 looses all cohesion. All the lessons and excercises already coverd leave more questions than answers. I have reread every page of this book and still lesson #12 jumps some important steps somewhere. I found this site while hoping there might be a forum for these series of books. No luck.
