Something Strumming Under the Sun

Antelope Valley, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2005 - There's a proverb from the Bible that says, "There is nothing new under the sun." Well in the world of guitar instruction that doesn't mean much because there's always someone who's touting a new method. Then there's (California) Bob Dietz who has just released the definitive book, “The BEAD Method of Fretboard Mastery.” For thirty years he labored to unlock the layout of the guitar fretboard. On a piano the notes are easy to see because they are consecutive and repeat themselves every eight notes. "Not so with the guitar," says Bob Dietz," on the guitar the notes form a complex web of scales. Each pattern changes with the respective key."

Premier Assistive Announces the Release of Accessibility Suite 5.5 - Network Edition

Premier Assistive Technology announces the release of the Accessibility Suite 5.5 Network Edition. "Breaking Down All Barriers" to the use of assistive software is the core philosophy behind Premier's mission statement. Several of the most common barriers are software deployment and upkeep. Getting the software installed across an entire organization can be difficult, let alone keep it up-to-date. While our Suite of applications are already easy to install, our new Network Edition further simplifies software deployment by running all the tools from a central location on your network. Not only is deployment greatly simplified, but updating the tools is now as straightforward as copying the updated files to the "common folder" on the central server. Once up-to-date files have been copied, the next time any user on the network selects any tools from the toolbar, it automatically launches the latest version of that application. We've eliminated the need to go to individual workstations to install updated software.
