What song were you trying to print ? I can try to duplicate your issue but be advised that it may not necessarily be a Chordie problem, but it could be that the Chords are not included on all pages on the host site, or you could be low on blue ink ? More info please.
Thanks 
You know Russ, all the best people were born in October.....
I'm thinking.....I'm thinking......
Have a Great Birthday Buddy !!! 
Good on you for taking the time and effort Russell !! those newer PVA glues are so far superior to the good old "Elmer's" we used to have (and those bonds were stronger than the wood you applied it to), that if you have clean wood on wood contact and good clamping you should be able to do as well as anyone else out there. Not to mention that you have an investment in doing it as well as possible, as opposed to just "punching a job card" and hoping for the best.
Look forward to seeing the end result and your comments on how well it turned out !
Pitch correction devices are surprisingly good at what they do..... the Digitech that Phill mentioned and the Harmony G that I have work. But most of those things require that you plug your guitar into them and use the instrument for a "reference" in determining which way to adjust the vocal. Sadly it is difficult to keep things perfectly in tune and if you bend a note the darn thing will try to bend the vocal as well..... that old "double edged sword" thing again.
But something software oriented, could theoretically be applied after the recording and if you are not happy with the result you can "undo" the effect and adjust for another go.
More info here.... Roger was using an App called Chordinator to access Chordie and there was some problem with their App which has been resolved (I gather from our last e-mail contact).
Always like a happy outcome !
OK, here's what we know.... Roger was searching the song Alright, by Darius Rucker using the alphabetical search rather than the artist name search. Much as one would if you were unsure of who actually recorded the tune, but did know the song title. He was finding that there was a short wait after choosing the song during which he would get a box requesting affirmation of his selection or "cancel". On choosing OK, the song would display as usual and recently instead of giving him the selection option it would open a page overlay much like one would get if you were a programmer wanting to edit the page layout code, but with comments like found HTML5..... upgrade to internet explorer 9 required, java script error, java not found, and such. ??? I have not seen such text in normal use of the index here on Chordie, so I tried to duplicate his tracks and search on Windows and on Linux/Android with the Chrome Browser to see if the condition persists. Sadly I was unable to get the same result as he did... 
So I'm putting it out there to anyone who has seen anything similar recently to please comment here and perhaps shed some light. or I'll even take a reasonable guess. Thanks !!
mail on the way to you with that information. TTYL
ETA: Roger sent me a screenshot of what he was getting, and hopefully we will explore the issue to see if there is a bug, and where it might be. I will update this thread to guide folks that might experience similar problems and especially post the solution when we have one. DS
Hey Roger, you could just drop me an e-mail and attach the screenshot, and I'd be happy to give it a look-see and perhaps forward it on to our "Super-Mod" Roger Guppy for his input... or you could just drop him a note with the image and if there is a problem with our system get it all sorted in one easy step. Whatever you are most comfortable with.
By the Way.... Welcome to the Forums and Sorry that it was a problem that brought you here. You might consider wandering down to the Chat Corner and introduce yourself to the Community, it's always nice to have another join in the conversations and all.
Check out Fred Kelly Freedom Picks.

Roger that, will surely have a look at those too.
And a hearty Chordie Welcome Aboard !! Wander on down the page to the Chat Corner and introduce yourself.... There's a fairly large bunch of folks here on Chordie that will make you feel a part of the Community...... and there's a good chance if you've been out and around making music, you might even have one or two near you that you already have met.
Good Morning, I assume you've had your tablet for awhile..... explorer is I'm pretty sure, no longer supported pretty much everywhere (replaced by Edge in Windows). Ahh but we are talking about Android here, which is a derivative of Linux and as a Linux user I can perhaps be of some help. I'm not a "Wiz" either, but I did raise three "nerds" and a little knowledge scrapes off in conversation over time.
As you know you can't really "download" music from Chordie (mostly because we don't have any files to download) all you get is an image of the display results of a search and a little formatting to make it uniform and "pretty". You can print (to file in several forms, or on paper) and you can save screenshots, or you can add tunes to your "songbook" and access them from pretty much anywhere there is an internet connection. But lets get back to that pesky browser "upgrade" thing.
By now you should be using something other than Explorer for your browser...... mostly because there are others that give better security and some protection from virus' and other nasty things (which could include "explorer upgrades"). Linux/Android usually ships with Firefox as a default browser..... and it is pretty good. I use Chrome (from Google) because I noticed Firefox being a bit slow to load after a recent "Quantum Update". Slow as in click icon, walk away, fill and preheat the coffee machine, fix said cup of beverage and "doctor to taste" (the milk-sugar added thing), and when you get back it might be finishing up loading your start page. Seems the update enabled a lot of options that not everybody needs and has to load all of them everytime it is turned on.
So go to your app store, get the Chrome Browser and install it, give it a try and if you don't like it or you want to try something else...... there is Opera, or Safari, and even Firefox which is good once it is loaded up.
The main reason for "fan fret" layout, and you will see it more on something like a baritone or long scale guitar, is to adjust the length of each string and compensate for intonation differences inherent in spacing of the fret wires relative to the frequency. The low strings are longer and the high ones shorter which reduces the total tension on the entire string set. Because they are not all the same length, you have to have some way to put each fret on the guitar so that it can yield a "true" note on each of the different strings. Hence angled frets.
So your answer about tuning and tone is..... yes. But hopefully for the better
I don't know about the difference of economics between the US and Aus, but I usually pay around $100 new for a (cheapie) case, so $80 for two second hand ones would be a good bargain (in our economy). Seems fair to me ... !!
Cheers
Richard
There's not that much difference...... new case over here is about $100, so to get two for less than half price (in good shape) is the "crazy Deal of the Week"!
In the photo TF posted, methinks I see (below the 11th fret kinda on the heel of the neck) the reflection of light glinting off of a strap button...?? Could that be what Bill was seeing I wonder?
The grey navigation bar on the right margin has a darker section representing the current location on the page, if you click above the darker part it will jump up, below and it will jump down..... I usually find it easier to just put the cursor in the middle of the screen and use the center mouse wheel to scroll up/down.
I'm chuckling here thinking about the hosiery on the mic thing..... I've been known to slide tube socks over mine when on stands just to keep dust off. One of the things you deal with if you live on a gravel country road.
Snowballs are quite sensitive and if you are close enough to NEED a "pop filter" you might need to stand back a little too ! Great microphones though and I think you'll get a lot of use out of it. Goodonya Joe !
Tiene un registro mucho más amplio que la guitarra clásica. Si quieres tocar canciones famosas que se escuchan en todas partes, tocar con amigos, cantar a la vez y llevarla a todas partes y si tus gustos musicales son de estilo folk, rock, pop, pop rock o blues, esta es la guitarra ideal para ti.
Por favor publique en este foro en inglés si es posible
Admin is doing a little "tweaking" in the background today..... No Worries ! You didn't do anything wrong.
i "reported" it Guys.
Seems I can't edit my own posts.... even getting rid of duplicates. They just keep "auto-cloning".
Population may not be the key factor, Maybe the demographics ?? Somebody HAS to have an algorithm for that. UJB, would you guess that there is a fairly strong "Musical Culture" in your area..... lots of stuff going on regularly and such ?
** Edit to add: This appears to be a 'one off' caused by some tweaking being done at the same time as you were posting Doug. I have removed the extra posts but if it happens again to anyone, please report it directly to admin@chordie.com Roger**
Bill does bring up an interesting point, and Joey kind of put an exclamation mark on it...... the personal level of service, and the part about all the employees being musicians in their own right. The more successful stores in my area are owned and staffed by folks that are entrenched in the local music scene. They actively participate in promoting events, seminars, and concerts hereabouts, and include the student community in their plans. All provide lessons, and engage the population musically, through their efforts..... including getting the music department in the University and Community Arts involved. Libraries, High Schools and other levels by providing bands and entertainment for their functions also.l. Cultivating their customer base and enriching the Community at the same time. Concerts in the Parks, jam sessions in the College Quad, Street Fairs, Farmers Markets, or even on the sidewalk outside Starbucks or at the Mall..... even the Courthouse lawn.
Those are good thoughts Bill, but I'm in another little town (on the other side of the Country) of similar size in Population (not including the University students). We are also within easy driving distance of the State Capital (35 Miles), and yet we have at last count FIVE Music Stores that sell and service Instruments. One of those deals mostly in Pianos, Harps and Organs, and electric Keyboards, and one only deals in Electric guitars, Basses, Mandolins and Amplifiers. Are they feeling the pinch of online stores? OF COURSE ! They have to deal with the cost of overhead, ie: rent, insurance, Business Licensing (at the State level only as there is no Municipal requirement for a Retail License, and it is "cheap"), Utilities, Wages and Payroll Taxes etc.. Some are good friends of mine and from time to time I do inquire as to the health of their enterprises. Generally they TRY to be competitive cutting margins as they can, trimming the hours of employees as needed, which is easier when your workforce are mostly students that don't have the free-time to devote "mega-hours" to a second job when their first "job" is getting an education. Staff Rotation is expected and manageable..... they do provide very good customer service and the slightly higher initial investment is offset by the benefits to the customer, both perceived and tangible. Everything in inventory is inspected, defectives returned, all are tuned and properly set-up, so what you hold in your hands when "shopping" reflects the true quality mirrored in the price. After sale service is where the "real" profit is balanced with return customers buying the little bits that support their passion..... for instance the Drums were close to the price you could pay online (with freight), but you spent a small fortune on pedals, sticks and the eight-way adjustable "throne", that lets you make your music. The margin is a bit wider on that stuff.
As to the "brick and mortar" vs. Online thing..... Guitar Center is the "physical" store of the parent Company of which Musician's Friend is the "online Outlet"..... Same guys, different Business Model. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and if that is what one must do to survive in the Market, Rock On !! Personally though, if I really wanted to drive that 35 miles to cruise through a "store" and be ignored by the overworked under staffed kids in the matching shirts...... I would. But my sanity demands I shop local, and I do whenever possible.
ETA: No offense intended towards either Company named above. I have and do buy from both of them from time to time, and only use them as a familiar reference for our readers. Your views may differ as it is not common for one to "expect" a bad experience, but there are variables to take into account such as staff levels, number of customers in premise at any particular time, promotions running and such. My experiences have ranged from Good to Exceptional generally with an occasional "disappointing" which reflects more on what kind of day the associate is having as opposed to Corporate Policy.
A tip of the hat to the guy that "almost" made driving a Pontiac cool again (after the GTO demise). LOL
Most of his career was doing something that brought a smile to the audience.... and he'll be remembered for that I'm sure.
Thanks for the Memories.
Howdy, this question has been asked before so I will include a link to that topic: https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=35891
Hope it helps especially if you have not gone beyond the limit of individual books.
Bunun ne olduğu hakkında hiç bir fikrim yok
Evet
Segovia would have understood perfectly everything that guy was talking about. I actually had to read the Turkish sub-titles and only managed to get that he built his guitar that way to be able to get around the intonation problems encountered when playing music composed for an entirely different kind of instrument on a "western" guitar, with an altered tuning.
Nonetheless, he played well and the tunes/tones, almost made me "homesick". Music of my childhood, street musicians, cafes & tea houses..... warm nights and simpler times.
Teshekur
Well thanks Bill !! Firstly for wandering back into the fray and letting us know you are still around, and secondly for MAKING ME take time to learn Waaay too much about your first question. Now I'm well prepared for the Trivial Pursuit topic of "Musical instruments of the 19th Century". I'm just kidding there Buddy.
Good to see you back, and sharing your thoughts with the Family !!
