REQ: Robert Luther Dietz The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery REVISED

English | June 8, 2007 | ISBN: 1494268655 | 100 Pages | PDF
The BEAD Method is a revolutionary new way to understand the logic behind the guitar fretboard. There are many methods that rely on patterns of the guitar but BEAD Guitar relies on the unique tuning pattern of the guitar neck itself. In contrast you are provided with a true roadmap of the entire guitar neck. This book provides a unifying theory for understanding fret-notes, scales, modes and chords.

By using this method you will be enabled to quickly find any note, chord or scale from any position on the fretboard. This perfect bound edition is fully annotated and illustrated making this a great reference book for any guitarist's library. First Robert shows you a simple way to instantly identify the notes on your guitar following the circle. This has facilitated my reading skills very well. Then he shows you how by knowing this information you can just as easily identify the triad chords and scales. The rest of the information that follows builds on these skills and tie into a well formed method for finding harmonized and altered chords, and modes. The section on modes breaks them down into basic forms that follow the BEAD pattern so that you can identify the modes as well.

Note: Though this book was uploaded to the site 10 years ago, all the releasers have either been gone for years or banned. I contacted PiRAT, and he said that he didn't have a copy. He reviewed that post, and labeled it as [dead]. So, I'm hoping that I'm not breaking any rules by making this request.
