[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1470408854' post='3105836'] Perhaps not, but the point I was making earlier, is how does a person starting out know when to check the back of the book for errors ? I have lots of bass books which I paid the same price for, and none contain error corrections. [/quote] Hi Coilte, Author here. You are probably referring to the "Test your Understanding Questions", sections in the book. What is in the back are answers to the quizzes, not errors. You try to solve the quizzes after working through the material, then check your answers in the back of the book to see if you got it right. A few typos (entirely different issue, unintentional, just a few gremlins that survived my three editors) are listed on the errata page. These typos have been fixed by now, btw. The book currently being sold on Amazon.uk is clear of them. Make sense? I'd love to know where you got the idea that you are supposed to check in the back for errors. That is most certainly not the case. Rather, you check your answers. Some of the questions are puzzlers, designed to make you think. Try it on your own first, then check if you got it right. Happy to answer any other questions you may have, best place to be in touch is the contact form on my blog arisbassblog.com. If you subscribe to my newsletter you get chapter 2 for free. It has one of those "Test your Understanding" Questions in it, so you can give it a whirl. If you need the answers, lemme know and I send them to you, too. Hope this is helpful. Best, Ariane

Hi all, this is Ariane. I can positively confirm that the three posters endorsing my course above are signed up for it and actively attending. And Highwayman, I am very happy to send you the free syllabi. Just email me again about them and you got it. I get so many requests I sometimes miss something, though not at all intentional. I do try to answer every post, question and request. Use the contact form on the blog that is most reliable. Best wishes on your bass journey, everyone! Ariane

Hi Highwayman, i am the author of Music Theory for the Bass Player, the book you mention in your post. I wanted to make sure you knew that I have free videos up on my blog that take you through many concepts in the book. The question you ask about E# for example is in the chapter on notes and the video that goes with it is here: http://arisbassblog.com/lesson-on-notes/ Thank you for buying my book and if you have any bass or theory questions, ask away on the blog or shoot an email. I try to answer as many as I can. I am also putting together a 20-week coaching program to go through the book with help. For help finding the notes check out the videos (page two and three in the archives) and chapter called 'notefinder' and 'Name-a-dot'. Happy playing and hope this helps! Greetings from California Ariane
