I've just been on Facebook today and seen the link to -

Metalheads! This week's free guitar lesson, 3-note per string shred! http://www.guitartricks.com/courselesson.php?input=bT8zbjBmZzYxNg==

When I looked at the lesson I was surprised to see errors in the Tab -

In the first line the 1st and 7th notes should be on the 5th fret (the tab says 6th fret).
To quote the sentence at the bottom of the page "The 1st line of Tab shows the A Natural Minor Scale laid out for 3 notes per string, starting at the 5th fret."
At a glance there are more errors further down but my music reading skills aren't that good so I'll leave them for an expert to examine.

This lesson was added to the GT site October 26th 2008 so I'm surprised this hasn't been picked up by someone already and corrected!

This looks like a bad example to post on Facebook as any potential subscribers would surely be put off by such inaccuracies. It implies they're likely to be all through the site!! It also worries me as I'm in the middle of Rock Primer 2 and I want to be able to trust the Tabs while I'm learning and progressing.

Worried Subscriber here.....!
