Victoria, I am having the same issue – no videos have loaded since Tuesday. I tried the standard “clear cache and reboot” guidance and still have the issue. I’m using the MicroSoft Edge browser.

I’ve seen tuners that have a dot on the display, instead of a sharp or flat symbol. Look at your tuner again. [answer is obsolete]
Aside: you can always do it the old-fashioned way. I recently watched John Knowles tune his guitar by first tuning the A string to concert pitch, and tuning the rest of his strings using relative pitch and harmonics.

Absolutely! They have a special place in folk music and blues, not to mention several iconic guitar solos in the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin songbooks.

I just saw this a moment ago – I’m a little late, it flew under my radar – there are scholarships being offered for players 25 and under. (see link)

Cool shirt, too. Bones heal, pain is temporary, chicks dig scars, glory is forever.

MemberAugust 8, 2021 at 8:14 pm in reply to: When tuning my guitar should all the notes down the fretboard be in tune?In a perfect world, yes; however, this is often not the case. For example, a high action will cause you to have to stretch the string more and will pull the fretted note sharp. If there is any relief in the neck at all, this condition gets worse as you move down the neck. Intonation is one reason not to rely entirely on the tuning of the open string. Play your chords, listen for sour notes, retune as necessary (or just settle for close enough). Whatever’s right.

I received an email today that the Tommy Emmanuel Camp is asking attendees to be vaccinated or tested before attending. I’ve got that covered, but I’m beginning to be apprehensive about travel. I’m wondering if any of my TAC friends are going – they haven’t assigned roommates yet.

Wow! So many ideas, one after another. That was so cool. You made that track yours, Jeff. That was fun to listen to.

@niels that was wonderful! There is a song there; words, B section, everything… That was a little bit of genius; thanks for posting.
