My name is Paul Gronow & I have played & taught guitar for over 35 years? but I remember what it felt like? I remember how much I needed to learn the notes on my guitar fretboard? I remember the hundreds of frustrated hours I wasted trying & how it just got worst!

Bottom line, I knew what I was missing out on but I did not have the necessary method to guide me to guitar fretboard success!

After investing a lot of positive study time I worked out a way (a system) that unlocked the notes quickly & it worked every time. Then I began sharing the systems with others & they too found their freedom to enjoy their guitar study once more whilst being able to read & play music!

I am not saying that I have the definitive system I am just saying that this system really does produce results fast!

One of my students said of this book (see below) that they learned more in one day than the previous 6 months without my book..

The information packed into the guitarist?s guide to mastering the guitar fretboard volume 1 really does do what I claim?

So you can enjoy getting to grips with learning the notes on your Guitar Fretboard whilst learning to read Music Theory & Guitar Tab.

This e-book is complemented with Free on-line audio support files that will help you succeed in mastering all those tricky topics that we guitarist?s sadly often try to avoid? & miss out on!

"This new, easy-to-use, guitar fretboard e-book, can help you put an end to frustration, confusion & slow, slow progress; it?s guaranteed!"

The following displays the outline & some of the pages found in the guitarist?s guide to mastering the guitar fretboard volume 1.

Covers a successful mindset, successful study pattern, getting the most out of every practice helping you to realize your dream a lot easier & a lot quicker

For some, the difficulty with learning the guitar is ? learning how to study! Learn tips that I have accumulated over 35 years of studying & playing guitar?

Discover; the 7 letters of the English alphabet used in music, the notes that are enharmonic & why this chapter concludes with the formation of the chromatic scale & it?s relevance to guitarists today

Learn how the chromatic scale is used to create all scales & chords. Then set about learning the chromatic scale on your guitar fretboard

Discover how to use patterns, music notation & guitar tab to find every note on your guitar fretboard

Learning through practical exercise will really help you get to know your notes. Keep working each exercise until you can play along with the online audio version

Please note that the resolution & quality of the sample pages are a lot lower than that of the e-book you could purchase.

The course is outstanding! combining this course with your scales course would be great on one hand. On the other hand simplicity and a step by step (crawl before you run.) approach works best. You have eliminated the fluff and chaff from the need to know. Your approach to goal setting is ideal as most people know what they don?t want, but few can put into words just what it is they really want.

It?s got everything in it, all the information is so well laid out and explained. The way even the smallest and simplest things are explained mean that anyone could understand it, and understand it thoroughly. The diagrams for all the various sections are perfectly suited to their specific need, especially the fretboard diagram used to explain how the same 12 notes are used and placed around the fretboard. Fantastic stuff yet again!

Your eBook on the getting to know the fretboard. I have browsed through it and immediately copied it over to my iPad so that I can study it every time I have a chance. What I have seen, GREAT. Thank you for your time and energy that you put into it. Thank you sir. One of the first things I need to do is to get to know all notes and your eBook will get me there. Thank you.

Great work Paul, lots of time and effort put into a great book that will benefit many many people who apply themselves to your system of learning.

A book that can be referred to again and again over many years of improved guitar playing. Used in conjunction with the guitar-lessons-for-beginners website this book is a great resource that will surely improve your playing.

An eBook Standards Carol Part 1: Ghosts of Formats Past | Shaggin ...

Hey folks, brace yourselves for a lot of information about the eBook format wars; I?m going to switch hats for the next two posts and write as a technical writer rather than a novelist. I?ll get back to the ghosts and goblins soon, I promise.?This post began with a two-part post over at A List Apart about the state of standardization in the current eBook market and where it might be going, including the need for a standard format that everyone can use. You can read Part One here and Part Two here, then come on back.

I shared the post with JW Manus, as she?s explored quite a bit with formatting eBooks and even taught me some tricks that I didn?t know. I was interested in seeing her take on it (and she is sharing her thoughts in tandem with my own here ? we?re going for complimentary posts here, so please read hers, too, it?s a worthwhile read), but we ended up in a discussion and I realized that I, too, actually have some things to say about the current state of eBooks and format standardization. Here is the drive of my argument, cleaned up just a bit:

?I?ve come to realize that I?m fortunate in some ways, as I?ve been fighting the formatting wars for close to 13 years when creating documentation (I?ve become a style sheet wizard, which helps in HTML transformations, but that?s a hard-fought victory). Standards can definitely be a double-edged sword. Implementation is everything ? MS Word, for example, has some standards, but the implementation is incredibly sloppy. Anyway?he?s right in that we?re becoming a bit more platform agnostic, but everything seems so very patchwork. The most reliable application that I have found for converting Kindle files is an antiquated command-line application. We have to use the ridiculous workarounds that come with translating legacy file formats, and the future is just more of those workarounds if we continue down the same path of everybody following their own paths. This line, in particular, echoes something I?ve written on my blog: ?The publishing landscape of 2012 looks similar to the music landscape of 1998, crossed with the web designs of 1996: it?s encumbered by DRM and proprietary formats, it treats customers as criminals, it?s fragmented across platforms, and it?s hostile to authors who want to distribute their work through independent channels.??

Essentially, I realized that I had lived through so much of the period described above that I should talk some about what that was like, and what I learned. Here?s a bit of my own journey, and how I see things eventually playing out, from the standpoint of a technical writer.

My career journey began in 1995, when I acquired a steady point of access to the Internet via my University?s connection. Sure, I had been on before, using a patchwork combination of friends? Prodigy and AOL accounts (the latter kind of not really qualifying but a mindblowing deal at the time). This was the REAL wild west of the Internet: our browsers didn?t have images unless they were running on high-powered computers, which you almost never saw; our chat was IRC, and while it could be simple to use, it was also very flexible and allowed you to do incredible things ? for yourself or to others; and the quickest way to send files was a shared FTP site. Having your photo online was unthinkable. You get the picture.

I started learning rudimentary HTML at the time, though pretty much all HTML was rudimentary. So few people were creating their websites ?and there were so few browser options that things were opened wide up. Remember, Internet Explorer wouldn?t even debut until the end of the year ?- as if we would ever use that. Your options were either the text-based Lynx, Netscape (formerly Mozilla), Omniweb, and Grail. I only heard of the latter, but never saw them. HTML as a standard was still fairly new, and didn?t have anywhere near the features that it would support in ten years, so you were pretty safe writing a web site in a certain way; browsers would handle HTML in the same fashion. My original site is long-gone, or I would show what I?m talking about. What you need to know is that it was fairly straightforward: these tags did that, and you?re ahead of most of the game if you can italicize words or indent.

Internet Explorer 1.

Internet Explorer is pretty much where that started to go off the rails. This is probably a familiar pattern to most folks ? open standard is established, big company comes along and bastardizes the format into a proprietary format that enables said company to corner a part of the market. Microsoft was bad about this, but are far from the only culprits. Suddenly your HTML might not look the same in Internet Explorer as in Netscape. You had to start customizing your code for certain browsers. You other Internet graybeards will no doubt remember this, along with the ?Optimized for Netscape? disclaimers on sites:

I think you can probably see where I?m going here. The fragmentation just got worse and worse over the years, as new browsers came and went and different companies dug in their heels. Yes, HTML was supposed to be an international standard, but no one could really enforce this. So too, today do we have a myriad of different major eBook formats. Most draw on HTML, but have their own implementations and interpretations of the tags. Here?s just a sampling, though I?m sure you?re familiar with most:

  • ePub
  • eReader (pdb)
  • HTML (yes there are still eBooks that are pure HTML)
  • Kindle (.azw and .kf8, also works with MOBI)
  • Mobipocket (MOBI)
  • Microsoft .lit (LIT)
  • Acrobat (PDF)

And so on. You get the idea. Loads of different formats out there, and no one ?ring to rule them all?. These each have their own advantages and drawbacks, which I?ll talk about in the next post. For now, I think you might have a picture of where the web and HTML lie around the turn of the century: the whole thing was a mess (and we haven?t even talked about things like VRML, Java, or SGML, but we?ll get there soon). The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the international standards organization that governs?well, web standards, saw the need to move the web forward with new features but also an increasing need to have everyone speaking the same language.

Enter XML. We?ll talk some about that in the next entry.

Hundreds gather for parade to celebrate Memorial Day

Hundreds gather for parade to celebrate Memorial Day

CELEBRATE: Attendees applaud participants of the annual parade that took place Saturday on Laurens Street. Hundreds gathered to honor the U.S. military. Staff photo by Chris Walsh.

Hundreds of patriotic local residents lined the downtown streets of Aiken to watch this year's Memorial Day parade make its way down Laurens Street.

American flags waved as far as the eye could see as families turned out to honor military members past and present. Even U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham yelled out, "This is the best parade in South Carolina" while he made his way down the route sitting atop a convertible.

Marching bands belted out the tunes of American lore as those in attendance clapped and saluted passersby.

"It was hot," said Jaibria Quattlebaum, who was in the parade as a part of the Aiken High School color guard.

"But it was fun," chimed in fellow color guard member Mariel Urizar, who was also sitting with Leanne Summers and Mercedes Winters at the ice cream social that followed the parade.

It wasn't just locals taking in the Memorial Day festivities either. Keri Truhe brought her family down from North Carolina to see her mother, Barb Rollins, in the parade on the AAA Home School Band float.

"Fabulous," Truhe said, sitting in the shade with her children Tori, David and Monica.

The parade was held by the James L. Hammons Marine Corps League Detachment 939 and featured more than 70 participating groups. The grand marshal was U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Perry M. Smith.

Rant Sports MLB Power Rankings For Week Eight

Joy R. Absalon - US Presswire

It is time to continue our?MLB?Power Rankings for the 2012 season, which will continue to focus on the top 10 teams in the majors.

Texas Rangers?(This Week: 1, Last Week: 1) -?The Rangers had struggled to score runs over the past week, but they more than made up for it against the Toronto Blue Jays. Josh Hamilton hit another homer, and the Rangers cruised to a 14-3 victory. Games like these are why the Rangers remain #1 on our MLB Power Rankings.

Los Angeles Dodgers?(This Week: 2, Last Week: 3) -?Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw get most of the attention, but how about the season by AJ Ellis? He?s got a 944 OPS with an insane 444 OBP, and he?s transformed himself into one of the best catchers in the game. He won?t keep hitting like this, but Ellis is one of the driving forces behind the Dodgers surprising best record in the majors.

Baltimore Orioles?(This week: 3, Last Week: 4) -?Adam Jones gets his extension and drives in a pair of runs. With Jason Hammel close to free agency he has to be next on the Orioles list. At 29-17, the Orioles are one of the best team in the majors, and remain in the top 3 for our MLB Power Rankings.

Tampa Bay Rays?(This Week: 4, Last Week: 7) -?It?s amazing that they?re a game out of first without Evan Longoria. Alex Cobb has done a fantastic job filling in for the injured Jeff Niemann, winning both of the games he has pitched so far.

Washington Nationals?(This Week: 5, Last Week: 6) -?Their offence is one of the worst in the majors, but at least Bryce Harper is starting to hit again. They took game one of a big series against the Atlanta Braves, who are in a freefall right now.

Atlanta Braves?(This Week: 6, Last Week: 2) -?They got swept by the Reds in a four game series, and now they have to beat Stephen Strasburg in order to stay close to the Nats. Chipper Jones went back on the disabled list, and nothing is going right for the Braves anymore. Given how tight the NL East is, another loss could put them in fourth. A bad week might push them out of the top 10 of our MLB Power Rankings.

Cincinnati Reds?(This week: 7, Last Week: N/A) -?A sweep of the Braves and a surprising lead of the NL Central puts them back on our MLB Power Rankings. They?re winning with good pitching and the continued MVP calibre production of Joey Votto. He?s been one of the best players in the National League, and if the Reds make the playoffs don?t be surprised if Votto takes home his second MVP award.

St. Louis Cardinals?(This Week: 8, Last Week: 5)?-?What a difference a week makes. Last week the Cardinals were unstoppable, and now they trail the Reds by half a game. They got swept by the Dodgers and lost 2/3 to the Philadelphia Phillies. They?ve lost Lance Berkman for another 8-10 weeks, and then they lost his replacement Matt Carpenter. Next week doesn?t get any easier, as they face Atlanta for a 3 game set.

New York Yankees?(This Week: 9, Last Week: 9) -?With the victory last night they?re back in third place in the AL East. Which doesn?t sound very impressive, but right now that?s good enough to be the second wild card team. How about the season by Curtis Granderson? 14 homers, 25 RBI, and a 912 OPS. Everybody talks about the successful seasons of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, but somehow Granderson always flies under the radar. It?s a shame too, because he?s one of the best players on a loaded Yankees squad.

Cleveland Indians?(This week: 10, Last Week: 10) -?Is it too early to say Shin-Soo Choo is back? With a 900 OPS in May, one of the best all around outfielders in the game is starting to heat up after a forgettable 2011 season. And Cleveland couldn?t be any happier with the timing, as their lead is down to 2.5 games over the Chicago White Sox.
