Hi, Jerry:
Just FYI, the sound isn’t working on this video lesson preview. Not sure if that’s also true of the actual lesson.
Alan Thomas says
Preview sound OK on my computer.
Christopher Kueny says
My sound is OK, but I have a vague memory of maybe trouble with the preview before, not sure. I’ve seen repeated instances of Led Zeppelin guitar lessons on YouTube having their sound removed (even though the lessons don’t contain any actual recording of the artist). In one case, the sound eventually returned. In any case, I bought this lesson and it’s fine!
Christopher Kueny says
PS. You can view the video either directly on Jerry’s site or on YouTube. Try both and see if one of them works.
Jerry says
That seems to be what happened here. The lesson is fine but the sound was removed on YouTube. I’ve re-uploaded it and unlisted it but we’ll keep an eye on it.
