    The lesson has “skips” and places where the audio and video cut out. Very disconcerting.

    I’m using Win 10, Google Chrome (latest version) and a fiber optic line, so no bandwidth problems.

    Thanks!

      Tom, I can’t replicate that on my end. Try clearing your browser cache and restarting your browser.

        Figured it out, it was Cortana jamming things up!

        Seems Microsoft did an update a few nights ago, every thing works properly now!~

        Thanks!

        Ps Congrats on the 200th lesson and the new series!

    I really like all of these- great ideas..but i must confess- I like the slow version with more explanation…I know people have complained to you about too much talking but I always found the explanations extremely helpful

    this chord progression sounds like iimmy buffet…havanna day dreamin
