I'm working through this Vincent book (loving it, btw) and this section (screenshot below) Ex. 1-28 says to play the first chord at the 9th fret. However that would be either a C# (6th string) or F# (5th string).
Instead it seems like the first chord should start on the 11th fret, sounding notes G# B and E (5th, 4th and 3rd strings respectively).
Am I missing something? I've come across a few instances of the words not matching up with the fretboard.
Thanks!

I'm using it as a refresher course

Yes no typo... normal chord study with common tones
Personally... the E/G# is not really a variation of C-7...
E/G# is an inversion of E maj. Triad.
Emaj can be a Diatonic Functional Sub. for C-7... And I'm sure Randy is well aware of that.
The D's are a little rough on Gma7.

cant comment beyond this -- not knowing how this is used in context of the overall lessons ..
