-
Is there a minimum (and maximum) age appropriate for guitar lessons?If you want to start young, you can, but a supervisor is recommended. It depends on the motivation of you and your son/daughter/grandchildren to find a fixed rhythm when you can practice together. The youngest I know of is 7 years old. There is no real maximum age, as long as you can (still) hold the guitar and press strings. The oldest I spoke to was over 85.

Troubleshooting: No Sound on iOS"Help, I can't hear any sound while the Media Player is playing!" If you're using iOS (iPhone/iPad) and can't get Media Player audio to work, it's probably because your device is in silent mode. See Apple's help page for information on how to get out of silent mode. On some iPads/iPhones this is controlled with a physical button on the side of the device. Toggle that switch and see if it solves the problem. On other iPads/iPhones this is a system level setting. Go to your iOS settings and make sure the sound isn't muted system-wide. Also, go to your iOS Control Center and try to toggle the "bell" icon. This is a poorly communicated button that controls your device's audio. This can also be affected by your device's ringer. Turn on your ringtone - this may unmute the audio. This situation is made even more confusing by the fact that certain apps, such as YouTube, have special privileges to override the system-wide iOS audio setting. This can fool you into believing that your audio is not muted, when in reality it is! Unfortunately, this is a common problem for iOS users and unfortunately Apple doesn't give us a way to detect it. Tim Cook, if you're reading this, please fix it.

Troubleshooting: No Sound in Safari on MacOS CatalinaIf you're using the Safari web browser on MacOS Catalina, you're probably having audio playback issues. When you try to play, you see the error message "Apologies...We couldn't play the audio." This applies to synthetic playback and MP3 recordings. Videos continue to play fine. Unfortunately, this is due to a bug Apple introduced in a recent version of Safari (Late 2021), and there is no fix available on our end. If this bug affects you, our advice is to do one of the following: Use a different web browser (Firefox or Chrome). Upgrade your MacOS to a newer (post-Catalina) version. Wait for Apple to fix the bug. They're tight-lipped about their future plans, so we have no idea when they'll do this.
