Chromatic tab source?

[Judy K]

It will be a long time before we can reach the talent level of you & Mark, Robin. But we will have fun.

Hmm, $80/month vs $23/month? In this economy, the $23 sounds better even with the slowness. There is a YouTube downloader that works well, and saves the video to the computer for later use. This works faster in a wi-fi spot, but I'll take what I can afford for now.

Are you & Mark recording any holiday music?

[Robin T]

Judy,
Thanks for the kind words! We haven't worked on any Christmas music together. (I've played O Come, O Come Emmanuel a bit and would like for Mark and I to work on Silent Night-- Silent Night calls for a guitar to play it.)

Yes, satellite internet is ridiculously expensive!!!! (I don't know how to download YouTube videos-- need to figure that out!) Hope you get better affordable high-speed service available in the not-too-distant future.

And y'all have fun playing Christmas music!

Judy, What's a YouTube downloader? Robin, I'd like to learn now to download YouTube videos, too, but don't know how.

Robin, Lee, there is an application called YouTube Downloader. I like to use CNET/downloads, but here is the link as provided on the downloader, plus another through CNET.

The home site

CNET site

I just leave a shortcut on my desktop. Any YouTube you want to download, copy the web address and paste it into the downloader. It will save it to whatever location on your computer you choose. I like the fact that it will also convert videos to mp4 and other more useful choices. Haven't downloaded a lot (downside of dial-up) but haven't had any trouble with the few I have ... Ken's instruction video & the concert zither video; a couple of David Summerford's BD; some of Nic Hambas'.

BTW, I never download any 'tool bar' so many applications want to 'add' and haven't had any problems with my virus/spam protection as CNET warns you might.

Thanks a bunch, Judy! Though we're off to the vet with the dog soon I'm going to give it a try later.

EDIT: Looks as though I can't use it on my MacBook. Hope you can use it, Lee, on your system!

[southernmiss]

Thanks, Judy. I downloaded it from CNET. Robin, it's working fine for me. Wish you could use it, too. It'll be convenient to have some of the videos, especially since YouTube gets really slow for me during times of heavy traffic (and I have high-speed AT&T DSL, but still have periods of slow play). I'm going to enjoy playing along with some of the videos.

I wondered if it would work on a Mac. Sorry about that, Robin. The links were for PC systems.

Here's one for Mac that I found on a search, and here is one from CNET. Hope one of them will work.

Great, isn't it, Lee? (Boy, I wish DSL was available here .... someday, maybe!)

[Robin T]

Hey, Judy, I did a bit of looking yesterday and didn't come across that first link for Mac; my computer's too old for it but Mark's has newer software and he's going to give it a try. Thanks a bunch!

Lee, Judy and I are jealous of you having DSL!
