Hello from Scotland
Hi Everyone - Just joined and very impressed so far.
I'm an acoustic guitar and music theory teacher living and working near Glasgow, Scotland and my preferred styles include folk/ Celtic and Elizabethan arrangements. I hope to develop my online teaching skills by helping, if I can, any beginners with problems, questions, etc.
I'm also hoping to pick up some new knowledge and techniques in various styles in which my skills are sadly lacking. There seems to be a wealth of talent and knowledge here, and as it's freely offered, it would be crazy not to take advantage of it.
So, hello! - It's really nice to be here.

Welcome Fretsource, maybe you could play/post Midnight for us, as your midi file didn't work, for me anyway?

Hello
Welcome aboard. It's great that people like yourself can come to this site equipped with the knowledge etc that you have and share it with the rest of us, but at the same time pick up some things that maybe new for yourself.

What a warm and friendly welcome! Thanks everyone - Looks like I've come to the right place.
6String - sorry you couldn't open that midi file of 'Midnight' that you saw on my site. I wonder why? But you could get the sheet music and tab ok, right? Normally you have to double click on the midi icon and you get the usual be "careful of viruses" warning. then it opens in your media player. (Don't worry. It's clean, as I made it myself) I'll look further into it in case the problem is here.
Meanwhile, could I invite anyone else to try it and let me know if they can open it?
Midnight is a nice and easy, very short Elizabethan Lute piece arranged for guitar. I arranged it in standard notation plus tab plus a midi file that I made of it - as a guide.
It's all embedded in a PDF file, so almost everybody can open it and save it. If not you can easily get Adobe Reader from Adobe's website to open it.
If you'd like to try it, please do and I'd be grateful if you let me know if you have a similar problem to 6string who couldn't get the midi file to play, or otherwise. Anyway, the sheet music and tab alone are worth keeping (If, like me, you like that sort of music). Just go to:
http://www.fretsource.com/Informatio...0resources.htm
It's near the top of the page.
Thanks a lot!

It opened ok for me.

That was a purty tune. Fun to play. Kush would like that one. As you can tell, I had no problem with the PDF.

Mine is 5.0.1 and the MIDI does'nt work either. I would sure like to try and play the tune too.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Kush is having a problem too? I made the file on Adobe 5.0 - but my Adobe Reader is 7.0. How about going to
www.adobe.com
for a quick free download of their latest reader (7.0) and try again - and let me know. Failing that, if you like, I'll send you a midi file direct, or I might even get around to recording an audio file of it myself.
Also, are either of you using an older Mac? Apart from cases where Adobe was too old, the only time previously I heard of such a problem was apparantly because older Macs couldn't open embedded files from PDF documents - or something.
