Has anybody tried clearing cookies as I suggested?? If so I have yet to see any reports of if it works. In the past when issues happen, that seems to usually correct the problem (corrupt or invalid cookie). Chordie only provides a very small and limited space for Google Ad-Sense to place advertising, and sometimes they get greedy.... but we don't control their content, and if there is a problem from their end all we can really do is complain and let them fix it.
The other option is installing an Ad Blocking plug-in and not see any ads anywhere (which many have done with success). I clear all cookies on browser shut down always, so perhaps that is why I cannot duplicate your issue.

I agree, they seem to grasp the concept of interval quicker when delving into that "mysterious" realm of Theory.
Good on you Roger for making your lessons "Enjoyable"!! When his fingers are bleeding and hands are cramping, a little humour and fun will be appreciated I'm sure. Your other students that we have seen, are a testament to your skill as an instructor, and do you credit.
Happy "Turkey Day" to you too Bill & Dondra..... and all the rest of you "Party Animals" !! 
The main reason it seems that all the melodies have been "done" before is the conventions of "Western Music"..... in any key signature you only have "harmonious" chords consisting of three Major, three Minor, and one Dominant (or Diminished) chord to fiddle around with. Broadly speaking, that is really not a lot to work with, so one WOULD expect a whole bunch of "overlap" within any genre. I expect that is why you will see "key changes" in some tunes to add a few more options. 
I didn't have any problem coming right through to the Home page or the Forum Index..... try clearing your cookies on your browser and see if the issue persists. Let us know the results.
Thanks !!

A bit down the page is some information about strings and a short video that might be informative to you. Playing for hours daily, I can usually squeeze 6 months out of a set of strings before the tone degrades to an intolerable level (D'Addarios).
Have Fun!!
I usually will comment on this forum (if any) but always refrain from making commentary on Soundcloud and such as it usually requires one to "set up an account" albeit free, which I flat out refuse to do and will not, even to look-up car parts !! I fly so low out in "webland" it would take "Doppler Radar" to find a footprint.
But I do check out the posts and listen to the tunes, and leave the commentary to folks with "better ears" than me.
What kind of device are you using?? I can only see the top banner (and only when I disable ad block) and at least on my monitor the ads are not inhibiting my ability to view the full text of any page. I could easily see that on a "phablet" or somesuch it would be not so good.... but then again why would I with my eyesight want to use Chordie on a tiny screen?
Try one of the ad blocking plug-ins and see if that will get you the whole page. To the best of my knowledge the space allowed for ad content is restrained to try to keep them from ruining the ability to use the features on the pages, and if that is not the case, then you do need to submit a screenshot of the troubled page and a good explaination of what settings you are using on your monitor to Admin for investigation and adjustment to the page formatting.
I'm running Win 10 with Google Chrome on a 27" monitor at default resoulution. Adblock Plus and Ghostery.
Sounds like a good one !! I really like trapeze tailpieces on 12s, greatly reduces the stress on the top and allows for lighter bracing on that side which relates directly to more resonance and volume. In my research, there was also comments about some having dovetailed necks and some bolt-on... with that latter not sounding as nice. Also several references to some with two truss rods (perhaps prior to dual action trusses, with one adjustable from the head and one within the body) I'm curious. Looking forward to a few photos !!
Adjustable bridges were quite common in the 60s and 70s especially on the 12s.... mine has one. But I don't have the trapeze bridge, but wish I did. The top has this un-godly "belly" from the stress on the "pin saddle" that I'm going to have to address now that I have repaired the split braces on the underside. Seriously considering doing something like what Breedlove is doing in their newer guitars with that under-saddle brace and rod to the butt-block. Hydration and time hasn't done much to improve the profile and as of now it is almost unplayable without a slide. Even with only 6 strings installed in a light gauge.
Perhaps this will help Graham, http://www.fetishguitars.com/le-marche-brands/e-ros/
The low serial number might put it into that Spring '66 series, and there is a bit of variance in the make-up (design) within the model that should give a clue as to the quality and sound you should expect...... could be a "dog" or a "show-stopper" depending on your ears. Good Luck with it !!
Behringer stuff tends to be quite good at reasonable price. I personally don't use pedals, but use the effects built in to my Behringer amp (and mixer) with a foot controller. No complaints from me as far as sound and convenience, and particularly like being able to page through presets for different tunes (I annotate the setting number on the music page). On the amp there are something like 200 settings available in memory for me to tweak, which pretty much covers everything in my repertoir as many are used on more than one.
Not familiar with the Donner, but I will take a look and see how it compares. Very similar and so it is up to you and your "ears", ENJOY!!
Wow !! this one got dredged up from the "tombs" (3 year old post), I couldn't find any reference to the title either..... but did notice bodybuilderquotes linked to a "questionable" website and summarily banned.
Thanks for trying CG !! Sometimes folks have resources beyond the "common" and help is really appreciated in hunting down some of the requests we get around this corner of Chordieland.
Good to hear you are settling into your new "digs". I'm with Beamer about the "bombs", we've been battling fleas this year. 
Mild winters and an explosion of Voles hasn't helped the situation, and with the cat and dog taking laps outdoors, even the real spendy chemicals (that are supposed to hang around 260 days) barely keeps ahead of the new "crop".
Much as I hate insecticides, that is the only recourse this year until we get a good freeze.
Hope that little storm spares you folks down in that part of the country..... more flooding would not be a good way to go into the Winter months with the seasonal rainfall coming.
So which corner of the garage do you get to "park" your drum set in??
8:40 PM Pacific time, Tom Petty passed away in Hospital following a heart attack. [Official reports from a Family Spokesperson.]
He'll be missed, but the music plays on...... RIP.
It's great to see you jump right in !! Active members make the Community so much better.

One, two.... as many as you like (I think). The purpose is somewhat to get folks to "stretch their legs" a bit and perhaps get off "the beaten path" so to speak.
I did like your Jim Croce rendition (same chords I use) and the second time through I played along. I fingerpicked and it sounded like a good duet, right up to the part where you used an A where I transition through C#, F#m, A..... I think my timing slipped (stumbled). Thinking I might use your rendition as a backing track and mix in mine (as a duet) and see what happens..... if you've no objection. I'll send you a copy of the finished recording for your approval. It's been awhile since I have done any recording, so patience please.
Thanks;

Wow!! Good Topic! Like Phill, I'm sitting here trying to wrap my brain around this question..... and I got "nuthin".??!!? By song I have to assume that it should(?) include lyrics, but there is so much music in my past that the catalog is incomprehensible..... so for now I will sit back and see what great ideas others can come up with.
ETA: Another hearty Welcome to Chordie from the Coast !!
Sorry M8 I'm drawing blanks on this side of the pond. How about it guys & gals in OZ and NZ any sources over there that might help, that we don't know about???
Try this one: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/mich … ie_crd.htm
Other than a small spelling error in the first name, was not too hard to find.
You are very Welcome !!
That shows me that there is something to learn every day !! All this time I was of the impression that "o" meant "natural" and was omitted for brevity.... + for Augmented, - for Diminished, I still don't know what annotation is used for Dominant other than dom... but there must be something (?). Also shows me that my lack of formal education musically left "gaps" that will eventually be filled by more "learned" folks. Thanks for filling another Phill !!
Peatle, that sounds very similar, with a couple of differences ie: The pastry is leavened more like a bread dough with yeast, the filling was cooked or at least par-boiled (to reduce cooking time and prevent the fillings from making the bread soggy), the outside is brushed with an egg wash to toughen and seal the "crust" . More or less like a Calzone with traditional "stew-like" filling...... the "original Hot-Pocket" lunch for folks on the go!!
Phill's "faggots" sounds more like something we commonly refer to as a "hot-dog", especially as regards to the "whatever was in the butcher shop including sawdust" part.... not too sure where they source the "Chicken lips" though.

Something like 10 posts??? Well, this one is gone, thanks for calling attention to it !!
Phill, you might appreciate this comment: Mom used to make something like a Welsh Pastie, using tinned corned beef, diced spuds, and vegetables incl. onions. Kind of a "cold weather" favorite which I haven't made in years. We are heading into cooler times and I might just have to break out the old recipe book and take another whack at making some !
Janet's family originated in Wales, and it might seem familiar to the folks.
Some of you are aware that I was raised in the "Middle East" where you will find it difficult to get your hands on Pork in any form as it is regarded "Unclean". Although we had "Commissary access" at the American Military bases, they were normally located some distance from where we lived (on the economy), and foreign Nationals were not permitted to own "property" such as Houses or Automobiles. Dad had a car and driver "Issued" for his use, but the family walked or used public transportation to shop locally for most of our groceries. Several times a year the Post Exchange would be stocked with Ham, Bacon, and such, but SPAM was always on the shelves. Sliced thin and fried it was a good alternative to Bacon or Sausage for breakfast, diced a welcome addition to an Omlette.
If I looked around my larder, there just might be a can hiding in there somewhere, although I tend to lean towards the "Smoked" version, and it will usually make an appearance sometime during the camping season as it still does not need refrigeration, and has the "half-life" of Plutonium in an unopened tin.
Great Photo !!! The "Better Half" informs me that they even have a "lower salt/fat" variety that has CHICKEN in it !!
When you are able, and have gathered your wits again..... Please drop in and let us know how you fared and that you are safe !! You know how much your "Family" tends to worry about you when you don't write.
